Need help with coding...

[onijin]

I cant seem to get it the way I want.

What I'm trying to do, is create a selection box in settings with all the boards (and support multiple selections)

this is what I have, but doesn't seem to be working...

Code Select Expand

                                        <input type="hidden" name="ar_board" value="', empty($modSettings['ar_board']) ? '0' : $modSettings['ar_board'], '" />
                                        <select name="ar_board" id="ar_board_select" multiple size="8">
                                                <option></option>';
        foreach ($context['boards'] as $board)
                echo '
                                        <option value="', $board['id'], '"', isset($modSettings['ar_board']) && $board['id']==$modSettings['ar_board'] ? ' selected="selected"' : '', '>', $board['category']['name'], ' - ', $board['name'], '</option>';
        echo '
                                        </select>';


and impliment it into this:

    if ($board == ', $context['ar_board'], ')


where    ', $context['ar_board'], ' is the board(s) selected.

any advice?

Hmm... Been messing with it for a while now and still can't get it.

Everytime I choose more than one board, it crashes.

It makes no sense what you ask.
What are you trying to do? What are the results you expect?
Anyway try changing your select statement in this:

Code Select Expand

<select name="ar_board[]" id="ar_board_select" multiple size="8">

Sorry if I wasn't clear.

I was modding my manageboards.template.php to add more settings.  The multi-select box is supposed to be able to let you select multiple boards to apply the settings to.  Which ever boards are selected, I wan't it to be plugged into

if ($board == ', $context['ar_board'], ')

where ', $context['ar_board'], ' are the boards selected.

Im guessing an array would work, but not too sure how to code the array.

Does that make any sense?

[JayBachatero]

This

Code Select Expand


if ($board == ', $context['ar_board'], ')

Should be

Code Select Expand


if ($board == $context['ar_board'])


[onijin]

Yeah?  Simple as that?

It would work even if there's multiple selections?

[JayBachatero]

What exactly are you trying to do?

[onijin]

select multiple boards and let it affect that bit of code.

So IF which ever boards are chosen are entered, it'll execute another bit of code.

[JayBachatero]

Ummm not sure how you would acomplish that.  Basically you want to show only the selected boards topics?  Like this http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?action=unread;boards=9,10

[onijin]

Okay...

Forget all that.

I went a different route.

Now my issue is, I made a column in my smf_boards table (called 'ar_restrictage'), but when I try to reference or modify the value with
<input type="text" name="ar_restrictage" value="', $context['board']['ar_restrictage'], '" />
(which I put in create new/edit boards section of Manageboards.template.php)

I wanted to be able to have a choosable & different value for each board.

[JayBachatero]

What is the code that you are using?

[onijin]

Well, this is what I'm  TRYING  to use, taken from Manageboards.template.php

Code Select Expand


<tr>
<td>
<b>', $txt['ar_restrictage'], '</b><br />
', $txt['ar_restrictage_desc'], '<br /><br />
</td>
<td valign="top" align="right" style="white-space: nowrap;">
<input type="text" name="ar_restrictage" id="ar_restrictage" value="', $context['board']['ar_restrictage'], '" size="2" />
</td>
</tr>


The column (ar_restrictage) is located in the smf_boards table.  The value on default is 0, but the box in Manageboards.template.php is empty.  If I try to add the number and save, it just returns blank again.

Hvae you modified anything else? Because you will also need to modify some querys to save and retrive the information from the database.

[onijin]

I figured that...

but don't know where exactly to add it... (and what to add exactly)

hehe...  ^_^

[onijin]

Okay.

I was able to get it saving.

just added in manageboards.php

      $boardOptions['ar_restrictage'] = (int) $_POST['ar_restrictage'];

and it worked.

thanks for the hep guys.

I have another question if y'all don't mind...

I pulled this from sources/Profile.php

Code Select Expand


// Set the age...
if (empty($context['member']['birth_date']))
{
$context['member'] +=  array(
'age' => &$txt[470],
'today_is_birthday' => false
);
}
else
{
list ($birth_year, $birth_month, $birth_day) = sscanf($context['member']['birth_date'], '%d-%d-%d');
$datearray = getdate(forum_time());
$context['member'] += array(
'age' => $birth_year <= 4 ? $txt[470] : $datearray['year'] - $birth_year - (($datearray['mon'] > $birth_month || ($datearray['mon'] == $birth_month && $datearray['mday'] >= $birth_day)) ? 0 : 1),
'today_is_birthday' => $datearray['mon'] == $birth_month && $datearray['mday'] == $birth_day
);
}


The number it generates, I want to post this into a column in the _members table (which I already created).

How would I go about doing this?
