Shared Forum Mod -- latest version: 0.2.5.4

[Neol]

I tried the Mod by Sarge: Problems i incured:

Advertising can't be seperated per forum (my goal was to have different forums for different citys and communities so advertising capabilities has to be able to modified per forum.)

Use different themes for each forum and than add the Adverts directly into the theme (index.template.php)

I could think of a more sophisticated method for improving the mods stability, however, that means work, and unless Sarge wish it, I don't want to devote time into it.

Zeri YT!: Good plan for inconvenience, would work perfectly fine. And you can "duplicate" your theme within SMF.

Posting what you have in mind wouldn't hurt.

Any chance of allowing recent posts for All forums to be displayed in the recent post on the front page etc?

Please copy and paste the entire line that reports the "Test failed!" error, including the number.

i'm using the babylon theme by default, so i'm not sure if i should ignore it or not...

The Babylon theme is not supported, but I will add support for it.

Just to be sure, which version of the mod are you using?

Open Themes/default/index.template.php and search for:

Code Select Expand


TPortal_front_type


and:

Code Select Expand


tportal_version()


Post the lines that contain them.

[ogmios]

Just to be sure, which version of the mod are you using?

--- shared forum mod ver. 0.2.3
--- tiny portal ver. 0.9.7
--- SMF ver. 1.1.3

Open Themes/default/index.template.php and search for:
Code: 'TPortal_front_type' and Code: 'tportal_version()'

Post the lines that contain them.

--- i looked up and down and 'TPortal_front_type' can't be found...
--- for 'tportal_version()', i have:

Code Select Expand

', theme_copyright(), ' <br />', tportal_version() , '

--- i'm gonna upgrade my TP soon

[Sarge]

--- i'm gonna upgrade my TP soon

Please do that and try the mod installation again. The other line that contains TPortal_front_type should be present in index.template.php too for the mod installation to succeed on that file.

[ogmios]

I upgraded my TP (now 0.9. and tried to reinstall the package but got the EXACT same results (errors on lines 50 & 51)...

I found this in index.template.php (which, of course, may have been there all along):

Code Select Expand

if($settings['TPortal_front_type']!='boardindex')

[Sarge]

Try chmodding Themes/default/index.template.php to 777 (or maybe 755).

How do I chmod? / what is chmod?

[ogmios]

the folders 'theme' and 'babylon' are set at 755...

index.template.php was at 644... i tried 755 first - no luck, then 777 - no luck...

same errors (lines 50 and 51)...

greetings i have had a problem with the subforums mod on features and layout the descripitons for what to put in the boxs is missing. My forum uses english as the language i don't remember getting any errors on install but its possible because I installed it awhile ago and worked on fixing other modifications that have had problems was kind of looking for a program to take screenshots to more easily explain this.

PS: Sorry for sending you a 2nd pm Sarge

[Sarge]

What is selected as "Default Forum Language" in Admin > Server Settings > Core Configuration tab?

[Abangyarudo]

English don't know if this effects it at all but I have a custom smf/tp theme the Black Rain Theme By Crip

Copy all lines that start with $txt['SFMod_ from Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english.php to Themes/your_custom_theme/languages/Modifications.english.php -- be sure to add those lines before the ?> tag at the end of the file, not after.
