[TomW]

Nice mod !

[Matthew K.]

Thank you, glad you like it.

[Paul Hypno]

Yes it's really good 
Thanks

[TomW]

I installed it, no problems, but am having a problem.  When the user navigates to a board, the board spans the entire width of the screen, whereas it did not do this before.  The mod installed with no errors.  SMF Ver 1.1.11

[Matthew K.]

Well, consider uninstalling Set Default Login Session Length and see if the problem disappears.

If it does, try manually adding the mod.

[TomW]

I removed the logic and manually installed it.  Same problem.  Thinking about it a little more; I made a few other mods and will verify which mod is causing the problem.  This is the one which I noticed it, but I may not have tested the other changes sufficiently.  I'll let you know if I need further help.  Thanks.

[Matthew K.]

Yes Tom, please let me know if anything further comes up.

[TomW]

Update - the problem that I stated above was NOT caused by this mod.  I changed the index.template.php, and that was the culprit.

  This is one of several mods which I am using to simplify the user 'experience'. Thanks!

[Matthew K.]

Glad to hear that Tom.

An update will be coming shortly to bring RC3 compatibility!
Labradoodle-360

[Matthew K.]

• + Covers places that were previously left out
• + Core Theme Compatible

Enjoy,

Hi,

I'm trying to install this on SMF 2.0 RC1.2. The package manager installation test is failing in three places on the following file:

./Themes/default/Login.template.php

Tests pass on all other files.

The following three code snippets can't be found (in order to be replaced) in my version of the Login.template.php (attached):

1.

Code Select Expand

  <dl>  <dt>', $txt['mins_logged_in'], ':</dt>  <dd><input type="text" name="cookielength" size="4" maxlength="4" value="', $modSettings['cookieTime'], '"', $context['never_expire'] ? ' disabled="disabled"' : '', ' class="input_text" /></dd>  <dt>', $txt['always_logged_in'], ':</dt>  <dd><input type="checkbox" name="cookieneverexp"', $context['never_expire'] ? ' checked="checked"' : '', ' class="input_check" onclick="this.form.cookielength.disabled = this.checked;" /></dd>';

Can anybody help?

[Matthew K.]

Would you please edit your post, wrapping the code in the designated code tags?

Also, I do not support version SMF 2.0 RC1.2, that's why it's not on the compatibility list, however, I'll see if I can help you out.

Additionally, I would highly suggest upgrading to SMF 2.0 RC3, as a LOT of bugs have been fixed since 1.2.

[taomeow]

Many thanks for looking into this, Labradoodle. Very much appreciate it!

[Matthew K.]

Are you against the idea of updating to SMF 2.0 RC3? It works with SMF 2.0 RC3, and it'd benefit your forum security and bug wise a LOT.

[taomeow]

No, I'm not against it. But the people who run the site are, as it is listed as not being suitable for production servers. Also, they have so many mods in place at this point that it will likely be a very larger project that would be better done at a later point.

[Oya]

as it is listed as not being suitable for production servers

neithre was 20rc12

[Matthew K.]

Not only what Oya said...but SMF 2.0 RC3 is way more stable than SMF 2.0 RC1.2.

[John1]

Got this error from the error log after installation.

It seems as though it's missing two edits.  I would suggest trying to re-install it.

After looking into this issue, I could not replicate it on my development forum and did not see an issue in the actual mods edits after reviewing them again.

I would suggest trying to manually install this mod in case of another mod conflicting.
