Topic Ratings

[Tick]

I'm testing on SMF 1.1. Installation was okay but uninstallation prompted parsing error.

1.     Execute Modification     ratings_v1.03.mod     Modification parse error

I get that error, too. Simple reason: package-info.xml has a little bug in it:

Code Select Expand

...

<install for="1.1, 1.1.1">
<code>RatingsPdb.php</code>
<readme type="inline">This MOD allows you to specify boards in which ratings can be given for each topic. At the moment all registered members can rate a topic depending on quality. The rating is shown in the message index and in the topic itself.

<modification type="file" format="boardmod" reverse="true">ratings_v1.03.mod</modification>

Correct the line:

Search:

Code Select Expand

<modification type="file" format="boardmod" reverse="true">ratings_v1.03.mod</modification>
Replace:

Code Select Expand

<modification type="file" format="boardmod" reverse="true">ratings_1-1.mod</modification>

I am trying to correct this but when I go to my packages folder with my ftp client it shows the topic rating folder.  The folder is a zip folder so how can I get into it to edit it?

I am new so forgive me here but the one I have installed will not uninsstall so do I just run this one through my package manager or do I delete the old one via ftp and upload this zip or how do I do lthis

Thanks for bringing this to my attention tick

The package should be fixed now. Just download it and upload it to your Packages directory via FTP, overwriting the existing one.

how to solve it

[pastramee]

hey guys, I hope this is the write place to ask this.  I just downloaded the ratings mod from - http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=91

and it installed with no issues.  But how do I activate it?  I went to admin panel - manage boards - click modify for one of the boards and I don't see a checkbox to activate it.

There is a box there with no description, I checked it but still no dice.  Any help is greatly appreciated!

If you are not using the default theme, you probably need to copy the language files in your current theme.

Language files ? I don't see a folder for language files in the theme folder ...

Anyways, here's my question
How do I get this to work on SMF 1.1.2 with TP 0.9.8 and Mesh TP theme ??
Does this mod work on any theme expect default ?

«Install Actions
Installations actions for "Topic Ratings":
The package you are trying to download or install is either corrupt or not compatible with this version of SMF.  »

Why ? Anyone knows?


Thanks!

Sometimes you can get bad downloads of mods...often downloading via a different browser will get you a good download.

You haven't said what version of SMF you are trying to install into...the mod supports many versions but not all...see the details on the download page.

[Tick]

I thought I read somewhere that this is happening with a lot of the mods downloaded here.  That it was something that was being worked on.

[TrueSatan]

...could well be. Anyway...let's get our fellow member out of problems for now...I'll add a copy here of the latest version so you can try downloading the attachment.

Language files ? I don't see a folder for language files in the theme folder ...

It is not in Theme directory :   your_board_directory/Themes/
But in installed theme one : your_board_directory/Themes/your_theme/Languages

As a example, the language directory of the default theme is here :
your_board_directory/Themes/default/Languages/

[TrueSatan]

I found a very minor error in the package info of the latest version of this mod...line 31

Code Select Expand

<uninstall 1.1, 1.1.1, 1.1.2">

It should be:

Code Select Expand

<uninstall "1.1, 1.1.1, 1.1.2">

...well...I did say it was a minor error didn't I!

...anyhow updated version attached to this post with that error fixed.

I'm getting the "The package you are trying to download or install is either corrupt or not compatible with this version of SMF." error.  I am using 1.1 RC3.

I have tried downloading from the main mod page and from TrueSatan's attachment.  I have tried using both Internet Explorer and Firefox.

[TrueSatan]

The package doesn't, officially, support the version of SMF that you are using so the report you are getting is quite correct. It might well work with the version you have if the package-info.xml file in the package is slightly altered but I wouldn't like to speculate on it being fully compatible...you do such things at your own risk and can't complain if they don't work and/or the developer won't support the mod when altered and used in that way.

Your best option, by far, is to upgrade your forum at your earliest opportunity.

[chinclub]

OK.  I thought it did since the mod page says:

Update (10/1/06): Now compatible with 1.0.8 and 1.1 RC3

[TrueSatan]

That was what update 1 said...further down the page is update 4 that says

Update #4 (12/19/06): Updated to work with 1.0.10, 1.1 and 1.1.1 (other versions no longer supported)

Internal to the package is code giving the current supported versions details:

<uninstall "1.1, 1.1.1, 1.1.2">

Please note...release candidates are not listed as supported.

Please consider updating your forum software!

Thanks, I didn't read down that far.

The language on my board is English ... I have also installed Turkish for a few mods ...

Just checked, Turkish is needs to be updated ... How do I do that ??
