- Added support for Profile and Print pages.

Anyone notice the two gaping holes in this mod... namely ssi_examples.php and RSS feeds...?

I notice that these two areas are still not actually resolved, there is no protection in SSI.php for pulling the content (so ssi_examples.php will show the recent posts quite happily) and RSS feeds will just display the posts normally too.

hope there is an option to enable or disable this function in admin panel. tq

No there isnst and when i tried to uninstall it it throws up a fatal error  when i try and login to my admin CP with the white page of death 

Fatal error: Call to undefined function hidetopics_who() in /home2/forumtop/public_html/forum/Sources/Who.php on line 733

However if i go to one of a different admin page, not the main page it seems to load ok

I have the fatal error on

1. The Administration Centrer
2. Supports and Credits

Those two i can no longer access

Not a major setback to the site but it really shouldn't happen, and i think a an option to disable it via admin cp would be a great idea, so any ideas how i can get my 2 admin pages back??

Attach you Sources/Load.php and Sources/Who.php files here

[punchy]

here you go

If you have problems uninstalling mods (not completing the manual edits where automatic uninstall fails) then the simple way to restore your site is to copy the backup files to your forum folder.
In the 'Packages' folder there is a folder called 'backups'. In there, SMF keeps a zip file copy of the site files before the mod was installed. Easy way is to download this zip file to your pc, open it and then drag and drop the contents (files and folders as seen) back onto your site (ftp) where the forum is - in the forum directory. This will replace all the files and those in subfolders.
You will have to reinstall mods that were installed after this one.

Example zip backup name:
2012-01-24_before_SimpleColorizer_1.tar.gz

OK use this one

[punchy]

OK use this one

Thanks Suki, That worked a Treat

What do you think it was that made it like that??

Thanks again   

[Suki]

Who.php had some code left by the mod, I just removed that code.

[punchy]

Great stuff, well done 

[CSRM]

Nice, very useful modification!

Can you please add default "Warning!" message, like the one when guest wants to look someone's profile...?

I have a picture but on Croatian language ("Upozorenje!"):



What i say/want is field above "Prijava" (on CRO, "Log in" ENG).
I hope so that u understand what i want

Try this ,

The guest unable to see the profile.

Admin->member->general permission->guest->View other people's profiles (unclick  on this )

Note- It will create the problem in search engine , better than show the profile to guest.

[Suki]

Bu default guest are redirected to the login page:

redirectexit('action=login');

if you want to show an error message, build a text string on your Modificaitons.language.php:

$txt['hide_topics_from_guestError'] = 'I\'m sorry, you aren\'t allowed to see the topics';


Then replace all the  redirectexit('action=login');  in  2.xml on the zip with:   fatal_lang_error('hide_topics_from_guestError', false);

Could you tell me if I can hide only one or two topics. Now I can hide all topics but I want to do this for only two

[Suki]

you will need to hardcoded the topic ID on the Display.php file:

if ($topic == 666)
   redirectexit('action=login');

or if you want to use  it for several topics, use an array:

$topicsToHide = array(
1,
2,
3,
4,
666,
);

then check if $topic matches any value on the array:

if (in_array($topic, $topicsToHide))
   redirectexit('action=login');

keep in mind that this mod is old and doesn't cover all the areas, this mod however, does: https://github.com/MissAllSunday/ViewAnyTopic

How to use this mod only in selected boards?

[Suki]

Pretty much like the code above, using the parser, take a lookat the places this mod changes and before those add something like this:

if ($board_info['id'] == 1)


When 1 is the board ID you want to use this mod on.

Thanks

Suki,

Great mod. I installed this mod on my forum last evening, appeared to work fine with only 1 issue. With the WYWIWYG editor enabled or disabled in SMF2.0.2 the package does not allow for images (jpeg-png) within the media files to be inserted into posts, depending on browser IE 8 & 9 displays a Red X,  Firefox 17.0.1 nothing. 

Any solutions as my members love displaying their images?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

[Suki]

Hi, this mod doesn't modify the WYSIWYG editor nor the posting page.
