Aligned and Bilateral Child Boards

anyone have any kind of idea

[dwd2000]

Those need to be edited in MessageIndex.template.php, not BoardIndex.template.php. The code is much the same, it's just in another template.

I could use some help.. i did as you said and put it manually in the MessageIndex.template.php file. It works perfectly, However now im getting an error reading:

8: Undefined index: viewer_text
Line 69.

I know its because of me adding this mod manually. maybe i missplaced something? This is my only error in all of my forums i hope you can help me =(

Attach your MessageIndex.template.php file.
Are you using the default theme?
I have an extra mod mixed with my MessageIndex.template.php file. (Images on Board)

Attach your MessageIndex.template.php to a reply to this message.
Look for "Additional Options" at the bottom left on the "Reply" page.

here ya go

[dwd2000]

here ya go

You are using SMF 1.1.x.

I'll try.

[Amoreitalia]

ok awesome. i appreciate it.  I Hope i can get rid of that error lol. like i said before it works perfect for my grandchild boards lol. but throws up that error.

$child['viewer_text']

This is part of the code that you installed, as per the instructions, which is in this part:

foreach ($board['children'] as $child)
{
$child['link'] = '<a href="' . $child['href'] . '" title="' . ($child['new'] ? $txt[333] : $txt[334]) . ' (' . $txt[330] . ': ' . $child['topics'] . ', ' . $txt[21] . ': ' . $child['posts']. $child['viewer_text'] . ')">' . $child['name'] . '</a>';

All this means is that viewer_text has not been defined. I can't find it mentioned anywhere else on the page.

It is possible that it was erased somehow, defined somewhere else in another file, or not included in your theme.

Check your version of the default theme and see if it is defined in its MessageIndex.template.php.

I've been using SMF 2x for a few months now and I'm concentrating on learning that system.

Personally, if it is working, don't worry about it so much. If you have time, search the SMF 1.1.8 support boards for exact error and see what shows up.

uh oh i think the problem is i added that to the default theme...

should i have done the mod on my php file in my actual custom theme?

I would think you would have to install it on every theme you use, unless the new theme reverts to the default. To be safe, I would install it on every theme you use.

[Amoreitalia]

but then again its all worked so far... i only have like 4 0r 5 simple mods. ive always added it to the default theme and it works just fine. thats the first time i tried altering another area.

Id liek to ignore it but every user that goes to that certain section gets like 2 or 3 errors each time. Kinda annoying. What can you recommend oh wise one? lol

i also didnt back that file up... so im kinda pissed at that..

Just my 2 cents on this issue here

[dwd2000]

Just my 2 cents on this issue here

Thanks.
It looks like that part can be taken out.

in ./Themes/default/MessageIndex.template.php I would try finding this

Code: [Select]
$txt[21] . ': ' . $child['posts']. $child['viewer_text'] . ')">' . $child['name']

and changing it to this

Code: [Select]
$txt[21] . ': ' . $child['posts']. ')">' . $child['name']
But I can't promise you it will work, so if you didn't backup already - then atleast take a copy of the file now, before trying.

That seemed to solve Amoreitalia's problem at least, and yeah, I actually missed the fact that the edit wasn't in boardindex.php afterall, but messageindex.php instead, but Amoreitalia pointed that out, and the same solution seemed to work still.

I just read through it very quickly, and I missed that. (not in BoardIndex.php) 
I was getting ready for work.

I have modified the above post to show MessageIndex.template.php, not BoardIndex.template.php

[Aleksi "Lex" Kilpinen]

I'm not sure about the boardindex, as this time the error came up from messageindex only...

EDIT to add:

I went through all my theme files, and not a single hit when I searched for the $child['viewer_text']  in them, so I'm pretty confident it is not needed, nor does it belong to the 1.1.8 code at all.

[dwd2000]

I think hhy89 has enough info here to put together an updated version.

Version: 1.2 Date 2009-04-03
Compatibility: SMF 2.0 RC1 & 1.1.x
*Add MessageIndex.template.php

There is still an error in the mod code.

Both in ./Themes/default/BoardIndex.template.php AND MessageIndex.template.php have an unnecessary $child['viewer_text'] in them.

I would suggest changing this

Code Select Expand

$txt[21] . ': ' . $child['posts']. $child['viewer_text'] . ')">' . $child['name']

to this

Code Select Expand

$txt[21] . ': ' . $child['posts']. ')">' . $child['name']

In both of them (For 1.1.8 at least... )
