Footnotes v1.08 is out!

[Vyache]

Within: ./Sources/Subs.php

I get an install error, it doesn't find this:
static $disabled;

Do you have Simple Portal? 'cause it modifies that same line...  install and then search in that file and replace what you have with this

Code Select Expand

$disabled, $feet = 0, $parse_tag_cache; only if you have Simple Portal installed.

What should I search for?

Code Select Expand

$disabled, $feet = 0, $parse_tag_cache;
I don't see that line either...

[dannbass]

[Vyache]

Do you have Simple Portal?

Yes, I have 2.3.1 installed. I don't see that line should I add it some where?

[dannbass]

Ok, just open your Subs.php

Code (find) Select Expand

$disabled, $parse_tag_cache;

Code (replace) Select Expand

$disabled, $feet = 0, $parse_tag_cache;

Code (find) Select Expand

$disabled, $parse_tag_cache;

Code (replace) Select Expand

$disabled, $feet = 0, $parse_tag_cache;

I see it, should I just add that variable and install it? The installer is looking for:

Code Select Expand

static $disabled; 

I get a error even after adding that line...

Thank You, SOLVED

[dannbass]

Sure, install it and then just open it and add the variable.

Lol... And yet again, a conflict with Simple Portal!
The problem with the parse_bbc() function is that it's a central function, it's the core of all message parsing, and there aren't many places where you can 'hook' your own code. It seems that SP changes a lot of it. Unfortunately, all of my mods (Aeva, SMG and Footnotes) also make changes to the function.

It would probably be a good thing to discuss this with the SP team, if they're willing to do it. Maybe we could arrange our code together so that it doesn't conflict constantly.

Since I'm merging Aeva and SMG for my next mod, I may also add Footnotes to it, to make sure all three of my mods never conflict again (if you use them all, I mean). Then it would already be slightly easier for SP not to conflict with my stuff. I have a policy of making as little change to the install scripts as possible after a major version is out (ideally, no single change), so that users can upgrade simply by overwriting existing files with the newer versions. This has been done successfully with Aeva in the past, less successfully for SMG, but I hope Aeva Media will be better in that area. Ideally, then, SP and AM could work together on using different hooks in parse_bbc(), and then try no to do any more changes. e.g. implementing a hook that directly calls another function in a separate file would be best.

[Nao 尚]

I modified the Aeva Media install script to only hook the non-Footnotes-related hook for its code. The 'sift out the BBC' code will no longer be used as a hook. As a result, Footnotes should be perfectly compatible with Aeva Media and thus I won't need to merge it with it

Uh, 1.05 doesn't install on RC1.2 correctly, though it tries to; the edit to Subs-Editor.php doesn't take, because it's looking for RC2 style edits, not RC1x style.

No biggie, just thought I'd point it out.

[Nao 尚]

Hmm 'mkay, updated the mod page

[Arantor]

Haha, that works

[rexusdiablos]

Can anyone tell me why I'm told to:

Code Select Expand

Find (at the end of the file): ?>

in ./Themes/default/css/index.css when it does not exist?

Am I correct to assume that I simply copy and paste the mod css to end of the document?

[Arantor]

Yes, you do.

Basically, the mod site is very limited in that respect.

[rexusdiablos]

Yeah, I was thinking that. It would be useful to note the distinction between the following two paths in the instructions:

Code Select Expand

./Themes/default/style.css

./Themes/default/css/index.css

I know it might seem trivial but a coding novice might simply misconstrue it is a missing file and opt not to install it.

In any case, I've installed it and it work's great. I can't wait to style it.

[Nao 尚]

Glad you like it
I'd love it to be included in SMF by default. (Small, fast, doesn't need updates, and really adds something for users who like talking for hours. Lol.)

[KensonPlays]

I use this mod!

[Nao 尚]

You're worthy!
