Faster Parsecode

[stargazer_1017]

So I should uninstall all of the previous codes that use Faster Parsecode (Language tags, spoiler tag, etc.) and then the old version, and then reinstall from there? I'm sorry to be sounding so stupid, but I want to make sure before I go ahead.

With all the other mods, I just can just change the xml files, right?

Sheepy, I know you did it to help, but there's a couple of things I want to point out:

• I wrote this mod and you didn't ask for permission to alter and distribute it, so please remove the file from your server.
• You changed the order of the code parsing, which may give unexpected problems.

I suggest that those that installed Sheepy's, uninstall it and use mine, please. I wasn't planning to spend time on this yet, but I had to make sure no problems would arise from the wrong code.

As a bonus to apologize for the long time it took me to do this update, I added an upgrader from version 1.08 to the package, which may save you the trouble of unistalling tag mods. I didn't have a forum to test the upgrade, though, so please let me know how that goes to know if it's fine or I need to fix something.

1.09

• Updated for SMF 1.0.5.
• Includes an upgrader from version 1.08.

FasterParsecode109_SMF105.tar.gz


I thought I'd update the tag mods now as well, but it took longer than I expected to do this one, so I'll work on more tomorrow. I'll try to do all my other 14 mods in the next couple of days.

Hi,
I am still using SMF 1.03
with Fasterparsecode 1.08.

So what is now the best method to upgrade top SMF 1.05 ?

Should I first install the Fasterparsecode 1.09 and then
upgrade SMF to 1.05 from the admin section ?

What about the ModSettingsTextarea MOD ?
As this was required for Fasterparsecode 1.08 must this also be updated
or not ?

Many thanks to Anguz  for the MOD update !

Regards, Stefan.

I'd suggest you first backup, try upgrading to SMF 1.0.5 and then FasterParsecode 1.09 without uninstalling 1.08 or the tag mods.

That's for those that like upgrading with all their mods still installed, I personally prefer uninstalling them all first, upgrading and then re-installing, but that's me.

[stargazer_1017]

Thank you, Anguz I'm one of those people that like to upgrade without installing the mods  I still haven't gotten the chance to try it yet, but I will soon. I'll also wait for the updates on the other mods.

Sure, it's done.   With an apologise.

Sorry for not asking you first.  I hope it didn't make you angry.    I had multiple site that need to be updated, so I helped myself... and, perhaps too quickly, others.

You changed the order of the code parsing, which may give unexpected problems.

Hmm. My thought is that since the lines are changed anyway, I might as well rearrange the email so they stick together and will be easier to read.  I should have been aware that this may cause problems.  Sigh.  So many traps...

[Anguz]

No problem. I know I took too long to update, sorry about that. Thank you for removing the package. On the parsing order, it is pretty important in some cases.

Hi!

I'm very happy that this has been upgraded but I'm having a little problem here... We have SMF 1.0.5 and I can upload the mod with no problem, only it won't install. I get this:

Execute Modification     ./Sources/Subs.php     Failure

Is there any reason for this? All files have attrib 777...

I proceeded anyway, but when I installed the spoiler tag it crashed my board (luckily I had a backup of the subs.php)

[Anguz]

Do you have other mods previously installed? It may be that another one changed the function before you tried installing mine and that's why it fails.

[Phoenixoverlord]

I had to replace Subs.php. So it's working now! Thanks.

But one more thing... it does work under IE, but for some reason I get errors in the javascript console in Firefox (script not defined?). Any idea here?

Edit works now... weird

[Anguz]

Faster Parsecode doesn't use JS, but spoiler does. The JS code for it goes in the default theme's script.js file. Maybe the browser was using a cached version of the file at first and then got the modified one.

[stargazer_1017]

Can you uninstall Faster Parsecode? I clicked uninstall, and for some reason, the modifications on Subs.php fails. I also noticed that when I upgraded to 1.0.4., the Subs.php failed as well.

I'm currently at 1.0.4. right now, but I'm afraid to move forward.

You need to uninstall the other mods first I think.

[Anguz]

You need to uninstall the other mods first I think.

Yup. Otherwise, the Faster Parsecode package doesn't find the code it installed, cause it was modified by yet another mod. So remove the mods in the reverse order you installed them and it should go smoothly.

[stargazer_1017]

Ahh *nods* Okay, I found out what the problem was. I think I had Faster Parsecode, Language Tag, and Spoiler tag on and I just deleted the Spoiler tag. No wonder it didn't work when I tried deleting the Faster Parsecode.

I've never used faster parse code, but I have a load of mods and I keep getting FAILURE in the SUBS. How can I install this manually?

[trenchteam]

bump.

Hi Trenchteam. Sorry, I've been moving the last 2 weeks and without internet for days.

To do it manually, you have to open the mod file in the package and follow the intructions. If you're getting failures, it'd be good to find in your code the reason for them and see if it won't give you trouble with other mods to remove them.

[trenchteam]

yeah. I tried to follow the instructions manually, but there are two files? Which one do I use?  One says 109 and the other says 108-9 or something like that.  Both had install instructions and were packaged in the 1.05 compatible version
