Some SMF functionalities not working ?

SychO · November 09, 2015, 11:45:54 AM

Greetings,

I am facing the following issues :

- When setting a board Moderator, when i tape his name the list doesn't appear where i can select him

- On the Navigation bar the "active" class doesn't work, the class doesn't appear.

Any idea how it can be fixed pls ?

Sounds like some of your custom edits have screwed things up...

the type-ahead of the name is a javascript function. Some mods or manual edits will screw up the javascript.... check your debugger console.

active class could be a dozen different things -- all pretty much related to manual edits that were misplaced or not fully conceived.

URL showing the issue?

Well my edits on the theme are definitely not the reason this is broken since i made my theme on a testing forum

and then uploaded it in my forum, and i don't have any of these problems in the testing forum.

and if you mean by customizing, Sources as well then "no" since i don't have enough php experience to allow myself doing that,

except that prior evidence indicates that the issues are 99.999% the result of issues with edits -- so, if you made edits on a test site (where it works) and then made the same edits on the live site (where it fails) --- then you must have flubbed something.

And yes... both of these issues are likely to be caused by something in theme/template files...

I doubt it is a theme problem :

i have changed my theme into the default smf theme and the problems are still there,

so theme problem "don't think so"

Kindred · November 09, 2015, 12:24:13 PM

I don't think that you understand how themes and mods work...

Any template file which is not specifically CHANGED by the cusotm theme is pulled from the default theme (curve)

So -- if your mod additions or other edits happened to adjust something that was not in your custom theme, such adjustments would have been made to the default theme... and therefor would still affect you, even if you switched to the default theme...

I ask again...

Further thoughts, maybe it helps

They are separate issues (and not related)
* The autosuggest feature is, as Kindred said, a JS function. It is possible that a MOD broke it (JS is a very sensitive creature

). Does it fail *only* when adding moderators to boards or also in other places (eg: adding a recipient to a PM)? As Kindred said, draw your browser developer tools and fire the JS console for errors

* The "active" class is built with the menu. It is possible that the CSS was lost (?) or that something on the menu was borked (in Subs.php or via hooks). Is the class really missing from the active button?

SychO · November 09, 2015, 12:43:18 PM

Oh ! i forgot about that point (i'm aware of it ;--) )

I'll check my files and see if i can detect where the problem appears to be !

URL showing anything ?

the url looks normal

I'm not getting any JS errors on the console, :/

also in other places (eg: adding a recipient to a PM) ? YES

the css of the .active isn't lost it is intact, the class itself isn't showing,

Kindred · November 09, 2015, 12:48:54 PM

What I meant was not the url would be showing an error....

please provide us with a URL of a page which demonstrates the error (with the CSS class)

Also... when you say "YES" to the PM... does that mean that it WORKS in PMs or that it FAILS there, like it does in the admin section?
If it fails in all places, the issue is pretty much certainly a javascript conflict.

It fails everywhere ^^

Kindred · November 09, 2015, 12:52:57 PM

yes

There you go.

Kindred · November 09, 2015, 01:06:20 PM

as expected...

you have some odd/poor code at the top...

get rid of the onload even for the body and/or that voting div that tried to make a popup --- and everything works again

Sweet ! The 1st problem which is when adding a moderator and a recipient to a PM is Fixed

the "active" class problem remains :/

Kindred · November 09, 2015, 01:37:10 PM

looks like you may have messed with something in the code which constructs the menu....

there are several blank "class" statements throughout the page

margarett · November 09, 2015, 01:38:37 PM

It must be something with your theme or with the menu build-up. The link does *not* get the active class. If I add it manually via Firebug, then the link becomes "active".
Later I'll suggest some debug code for you, now I must leave

edit: ninja'd

SychO · November 11, 2015, 12:28:43 PM

so according to what Kindred said about default templates,

i just wanna say that i uploaded the default theme folder to my forum (and kept the other one under another name)

and the problem doesn't appear to be the default templates,

regrads

margarett · November 11, 2015, 01:40:59 PM

Eh, I forgot about this

Your index.template.php should have, near the end, a function called:

Code Select

function template_menu()
{

After the globals declaration, add:

Code Select

	if ($context['user']['id'] == 1)
	{
		echo '
			<div style="height: 300px; overflow-y: scroll;">
				<pre>';
		print_r($context['menu_buttons']);
		echo '	</pre>
			</div>';
	}

(adjust the "1" to your user ID)

That will show you the menu array inside a box with scroll. Copy all the result and put it here inside code tags.
Do this in this page --> http://dzair-gaming.info/forum/index.php?action=forum

SychO · November 22, 2015, 04:23:16 PM

Sorry for taking so much time to reply, i have been away for studies, however here is what you requested :

Code Select

margarett · November 22, 2015, 06:57:58 PM

Yeah the "active_button" item isn't present in any button...

Please attach Sources/Subs.php
