You should have uploaded the zCommunity folder from part 1 to your forum's main directory before installing part 2 through the package manager.

Hi to all!

Sorry for my english!
I have a great problem with installing zCommunity0.7.3. After installing zCommunity my site shows the follwoing Error

"Fatal error: Function name must be a string in /var/www/web41/html/forum/zCommunity/Sources/Load.php on line 435"

The Load.php shows the following on line 435

Code Select Expand

$zcFunc['log_error']('Failed to load zCommunity language file: ' . (string) $template_name);

Can someone help me?

In zCommunity/Sources/Load.php

Replace the following:

Code Select Expand

$zcFunc['log_error']('Failed to load zCommunity language file: ' . (string) $template_name);

With the following:

Code Select Expand


// make sure this function exists....
if (!function_exists($zcFunc['log_error']))
{
global $zc_sources_dir;
require_once($zc_sources_dir . '/Subs.php');
zcPrepareFuncNames();
}

if (function_exists($zcFunc['log_error']))
$zcFunc['log_error']('Failed to load zCommunity language file: ' . (string) $template_name);

Thank you!

Hi, do you have an ETA for how long it will take until BETA? I'm considering to try this on my site, but I'm also wondering if i should maybe wait until BETA?

Edit: Okay, i couldn't wait. So i installed.

1. Hm, i wonder about the copyright, could that be placed along with the other texts? Now it's kind of floating around in the middle of the page, looking really weird. o: I'm not asking to remove it, just to move it over to SMF and TinyPortal-copyright?

2. About permissions, could i somehow restrict some for all users? :(Maybe through Sources/Permissions.php?) O I don't want some of them available for me neither, so that would be great. Or remove? something like that?

3. On "Default Settings for New Blogs" i can't uncheck group 9, it has the ID 9, and it just doesn't go through, i uncheck it, and save and then it's back.

4. ...And can I completely remove social bookmarks? ... and tags?

By the way, i've tried to find this myself on the CP, but if i missed something, sorry about that..

Thanks!

I do not have an ETA on a beta yet... I'm hoping the next alpha version will be stable enough that the next version I release will be beta.  Shouldn't be long... have had some set backs recently due to the weather in my area... and school started up again this week.

1.  Still working on stabilizing the templates/themes.  Can help out by reporting what the exact problems you are experiencing (and what browser/version you are viewing the page with).
2.  Not sure what you mean by restrict some for some for all users... Just don't give a permission to any membergroups if you don't want anyone to be able to do what that permission allows.
3.  I'll check that out.
4.  There aren't settings to do this... I guess it wouldn't be hard to add code to allow for this admin option, but not high on the priority list.

Thanks for the answer.

1. FF 2 and IE 6. It's after all the content, but not anywhere near the other copyright text, since thats in the footer, and i've TinyPortal stretching out the page, so while it seems like you copyright is floating around in the middle, i guess it's because the body-content ends there, perhaps you could make the Copyright go after Powered by SMF and that in the footer? Just a suggestion though.
2. Restrict for Administrator also, or delete the function. Like Start Poll. I don't want to see it either, since i don't plan to use it. And stuff like that. You know the membergroup (administrator) that has all permissions..  I'm in that group, and i would like to disallow some functions so i don't see it either.
3. Thanks. Happens in the reading restrict page for blogs too.
4. Okay. Hm, could i do i manually? Or would you recommend against it?

5. Could i somehow tell all blogs to use standardsettings and not allow the owner to change it? My users would be confused by Meta and Comments and Articles.

I'm kind of trying to remove as much options as possible. I love the possibilities with this Mod, but there are lots of features which are to advanced for my community.
I think it would be great to choose what you would like to use and not, and if you don't want to use it then it isn't visible in the settings page (except the one where you choose if you want to see it or not). ^^
Just my thoughts though, my members aren't used to lots and lots of options and configuration, so i have to make it as simple as possible.

Thanks once more.

[Kindred]

why would anyone still be using IE6 or FF2?

nothing should ever be restricted to the admin.
Standard functionality would be to only allow a function to be turned off...  if Charles wants to do that.

[Ncen]

Because that somebody is on a very old computer with XP servicepack 1, and by some reason you cannot download IE7 then (Microsoft really wants people to upgrade from SP1 i guess). :/ Gosh i hate this computer. About FF2? Good question. I'm not entirely sure why i've not upgraded yey. My new computer with Vista and updated IE and FF is currently not working so that's why i have got this old comp out of the closet.
I was so eager to get back online so when i couldn't upgrade IE6 i automatically assumed it was the same with FF i guess. xD Actually i think i'm on FF1.x-something.  Guess i'll have to do something about that later.

I kind of figured, because you can't turn it back on after disabling it i guess? I thought that maybe writing something in Permissions.php could have been easier than coding so the stuff could be turned off.  (I'm) Always trying to find the easiest solution (for myself and others).

Ps. I'm not entirely sure why i'm using so much smilies, if someones wondering .

[TheDisturbedOne]

why would anyone still be using IE6 or FF2?

Old computer like mine.  I run IE5 (mac) and FF2.  My computer is ancient (2001 I think) and only has 30 GB HD and 500mhz/128MB RAM.  Not to go offtopic...so carry on

its still not working. do you think it will take time like a day or two, or does that mean that my forum is gone?

[Charles Hill]

Did you backup your files before installing zCommunity?  If so just upload the backups and you'll be fine.  Wait til 0.7.4 Alpha... and please remember that when something says Alpha that means you should be extra careful when using it.  Make sure you really know what you're doing so that if something does go wrong you won't lose anything.

and what backups do i upload?

[Charles Hill]

FTP program like filezilla?  Do you not keep backups of the files on your server?

i do have the files of the packages that i have downloaded. and i have a ftp thing on my host.

[Kindred]

before you install ANY mod, you should always take a backup of your files and database.

[coldfusionpower]

[jkrlvgn]

zC does not currently work with 2.0.4b.  I'm fairly sure that Charles is working to make it compatible, but it's not yet been released.
