Karma Description Mod

[TrueSatan]

v 2.3 is the most recent version and it still supports your version of SMF. The three versions you mention are the standard version, the Russian language version and the Russian language utf8 character set version. Your choice would largely depend on your need/use of the Russian language.

Thank you for your response.
Is this MOD stable now ?
I mean 38 pages of discussion kinda makes me worry.

[TrueSatan]

I use it on a number of installations without problems...the number of pages of discussion aren't a good indicator of problems so don't be put off by that...they often indicate that a mod is popular and has a lot of users with comments to make whereas a mod with very few contented users might have almost no postings relating to it.

Ok, I installed it and it's running without a glitch on 1.1 RC3

[joybreezy]

I ran into some issues with this mod.. first of all I received the following errors.  Several file not found errors.  And on one of my sites I went ahead and installed it anyway.. although it didnt seem to break anything.  I can not see the selection descriptions in the Karma setup and I do not see where it is allowing me to see karma changes on the site.  Please advise.

Firstly the "File not found" items refer only to Russian language files so unless you use Russian in your forums they can safely be ignored.

Secondly please go to ACP>Server Settings and make sure that your forum language is set to english and not english utf8.

It is set to English.  The other choice is not on my option list.

 Assuming that in ACP>Features and Options>Karma you have enabled the mod then your problem appears to suggest that some of the edits this mod needs to make were not, in fact, made.

Please go through the mod following the process of a manual installation and check that all edits and new files are in place...the following link gives details:

Thanks for you help!!!!  I may have fixed the problem however seems the only way I can get to it is by going to an actual profile.  It doesnt show up when I click on forum stats and go to more stats.   Any ideas?

[joybreezy]

Ran into another issue.. for some reason it won't load the following now when the karma is changed.   Unable to load the 'main' template.  Any ideas as to what may be causing this error?

[joybreezy]

Another issue that I have run into... I dont get a box to type the reason for the karma. I think my previous issue is related to one particular site. 

[TrueSatan]

Let's pick away at it:

Have you checked the permissions and the setup of the mod? Setup in ACP>Features and Options>Karma and permissions in ACP>Members>Permissions

Your "main template" issue makes me think that you have a messed up theme and may need to reload the theme files (from the SMF installation package in the case of the SMF Default theme) and reapply all your mods to it. It's not as bad a task as it sounds. That is likely to also fix your last issue.

[martina]

When I go to acp and karma I can see all the check boxes but not the writing next to them.  Our karma hasn't been working for months so I don't really want to fiddle too much as I am not 100% yet (very new to smf).  Would anyone be able to do me a screen shot of acp, features and options and karma just so I can check the right boxes etc.

Thank you in advance x.

[TrueSatan]

Please go to ACP>Server Settings and make sure that your language is set to English and not English utf8 That is likely to fix your problem without a need for screenshots.

If you use a custom theme (any other theme than the SMF Default theme is a custom theme) you will need to manually edit the mod into it.

Please see:

Thanks for that.  I have read them but I can't work it out as I don't understand it.

[TrueSatan]

If you really can't understand the editing of your custom theme then I can only suggest that you revert to using only the SMF Default theme.

[martina]

I went back to the default theme and still couldn't see the writing next to the boxes so I am not sure why that happened.

[TrueSatan]

If your language is set correctly then I would suggest that one or more of the files the mod tries to edit were not edited.

Prior to installing the mod did you, as you always should prior to installing or uninstalling any mod or theme, backup your database, backup your files, go to ACP>Packages>Options>Installation Options make sure that details appropriate to your hosting are set >Cleanup Permissions> "All Files Writeable" then check, via ftp, that they are indeed writeable (set to CHMOD 777 or 775 depending on the particulars of your hosting.)

Were there errors shown during the installation of the mod...if this happens do not proceed with the installation of any mod.

You now need to follow the first link I gave you previously and check to see that the mod has properly edited the files it seeks to edit then do any manual editing needed to put right any omissions...the second link i gave you is likely to help in this process.

[martina]

There were no errors showing when I installed it.

I set all files to writeable but am not sure how to check on ftp if they are.

I will have another go later when the children are in bed but think this may be beyond me.
