when I upload two simple Boardmods Ive made, just for things Ive changed on my forum,... to my testforum... it says this

Quote

Type Action Description
1 Execute Modification ./Sources/MoveTopic.php Failure

but if I click Proceed the mod works anyway $:-\$

why does it say Failure ?

It may "works anyway", but it didn't make those changes because it failed. Use the test_modification.php script for more detail.

Whitespace matters when CHANGING files, because you have to find what to change. Whitespace only doesn't matter when actually RUNNING the PHP.

ok thanks,
thing is, it actually said failure, before it runs the mod...

it says failure when you upload the mod.. and then it gives the list of files its going to alter

on the really simple mod I wrote, it worked anyway, after clicking proceed

but on the more complicated one, it didnt $:-\$

how do you use test_modification.php ?

is there a readme file about it ?

CapriSkye · « **Reply #23 on:** January 02, 2005, 11:00:00 PM »

you'll have to put test_modification.php on your server, or your local test forum
i put it under smf's home directory, and just call it like http://localhost/test_modification.php

RAH!

just worked out why sometimes they fail and sometimes they dont, when the search script itself is exactly the same, even when copy and pasting.

its all to do with spaces at the beginning of the line!

ok... Im stupid... but just thought Id pass this information on..

oh... and yeah

After in Board Mod = before in SDK Package..

Hey [Unknown] just a thought... It would probably be helpful if the package SDK included a index.php file for the main package folder with instructions on it to add the user's package server to their website. The person USING the SDK already knows how to because of the readme info, but anyone who tries to download the packages usually just get lost.

or at least, thast the problem I had till I created the index.html file at http://nrrds.com/packages/

People without url_fopen or with safe mode will just get redirected there, unable to download your packages.

interesting. so i should delete my index file then?

[Unknown] · « **Reply #28 on:** January 10, 2005, 07:24:36 PM »

Well, the URL will look something like:

index.php?package-list&referer=http://someonesforum.com/

So, you could just see if $_GET['package-list'] is set. Mind you, this is all from memory.

Everyone should read this about why xml packages are better than boardmod, if you need them:

http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=24009.0
(assuming they work as designed, they have had testing but I'll admit not as much as I wanted.)

Jim Yarbro · « **Reply #30 on:** January 11, 2005, 08:08:10 AM »

yeah thats part of why im moving all my mods to packages instead of the mod site stuff. Trying to get as much testing in as possible. I think better docs would be helpful too.

btw why do we have that modsite if the package manager works?

Jerry · « **Reply #31 on:** January 11, 2005, 06:58:07 PM »

People would be lost without it

[Unknown] · « **Reply #32 on:** January 11, 2005, 07:08:01 PM »

You can browse the mod site with your package manager.

I just noticed, checked while I was posting. Nice edition

Jim Yarbro · « **Reply #34 on:** January 12, 2005, 04:13:59 AM »

So is anyone working on the modsite? Cuz I'm not. I was gonna but my opinions seem to differ too greatly from the development team over what needs to happen with that page. Besides I got my own mods to work on. The music mod is getting kinda popular now and I have a lot of things I need to add to it.

Took me awhile to find this darn SDK, but I'm glad I did

Anyway, I was just about to release a mod on my own package server, but as I was setting up the package server, I noticed an error in the packages_advanced.xml file:

Code: [Select]

<default-website title="My Website">http://www.mywebsite.tld/</default-author>
This should obviously be:

Code: [Select]

<default-website title="My Website">http://www.mywebsite.tld/</default-website>
Just a small copy/paste error, easily fixed

Edit: Also, you should probably use the example domains (example.com|example.net|example.org) since they were created for examples in technical documentation

[Unknown] · « **Reply #36 on:** March 13, 2005, 07:42:54 PM »

Fixed, I should probably update the first post soon.
