Custom Action Mod

[PrizeLive.com]

Does this work for version 1.1.4?

[Marook]

Yeah it does works fine in my forum
http://www.marook-online.de/smf/index.php?action=xlinks
for example...

[tsmalmbe]

Can I give permission to certain users/groups to use this, or is it only for administrators?

[tsmalmbe]

If  I  make an action using PHP, what do I need to do to get mysql-queries to work?

[Marook]

No you can't give permissions, but can verify the membergroup in your custom action code... you can use db_query() to do sql queries, pls refer to the online documentation.

[tsmalmbe]

Yes I realized that I can perform mysql-queries just as normal. Although, it behaves a little wierd, it does work. How about getting parameters,  there's no convenience-array I could use, I will have to parse the request directly, right?

Oh, regarding the mysql-queries. I now initialize a new connection. I copied that part directly from the SSI.php. But is this necessary? Initializing a conn  requires  me to put usernams and passwords  in my custom action, which is not nice.

[Marook]

No you dont need to initialize a new connection, just do the queries... just take a look at the docs

[tsmalmbe]

Well... really, finding out what I can and cannot do with Custom Actions is not really revealed in the docs. What you are trying to say is, it is business as usual, right? I can call any functions declared in subs (as long as they subs are included that is), do any sql:ing, and so forth.

[Marook]

Yepp Maybe sometimes you must use global [$varname] to get access to different vars... for example, i used the $language variable, which is stored in $_SESSION['language'] to display different parts of my custom actions in the same language, the user or guest has choosed... Its also possible to display the linktree above your custom action... SMF is great !!!

if (in_array($allowed, $user_info['groups'])){
$can_see = TRUE;
break;

if ($can_see){

wot is the complete code you are using can u please give us.

[ibizara]

That is all the code... just include a page rather than put code into the custom textarea.
I found it works alot better and gets rid of the error you had below (or it did for me anyway).

[falguni1]

can some one give post some php snippets to use with mod.

[avepeachy]

I've used this mod with some success on my site. The problem is that the pages only show up in Firefox. None of my members viewing in IE can see the html pages. Is anyone else having this problem? WOuld someone be willing to help me try and fix this?

Thanks in advance!

[ibizara]

include("./custom/link.php");

Code Select Expand

echo'<IFRAME width=100% marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 frameborder=0 SRC="/custom/link.html"></IFRAME>';

can some one give post some php snippets to use with mod.
