Static Page Mod

[forumite]

Dan the man,

FYI the Static Page mod appears to work fine with 1.0.4 for me.  The mod was installed with SMF 1.0.3 and I later upgraded to SMF 1.0.4 without changing or re-installing the mod.

Hmm, it appears to be just the opposite for me.  I click on the link to the static page and it brings me back to the board index.

Let's see if others report the same thing before one of us heads off on a witch hunt.

OK, sounds good.

Thanks for testing with 1.0.4.

I will investigate it ASAP and update the mod to 1.0.4 — if necessary.

OK, thank you.  It really is a great mod.  It's good for people who aren't especially good with PHP to incorporate a completely customized HMTL page into their forums.  Keep up the good work .

New version of this mod is now available: Static Page Mod 1.1

Changes:

• Added: Functionality of mod "ModSettings Textarea Mod 1.0.3". So this Textarea mod is no more necessary and should be uninstalled if you install Static Page Mod 1.1.
• Added: French language

This mod works fine with SMF 1.0.4.
However, if you upgrade from SMF 1.0.3 to 1.0.4, I suggest:

• Go to "Forum Configuration / Edit Features & Options / Static Page Mod Options" and copy all your HTML sourcecode into a textfile - this is for backup purposes since these will be deleted during uninstallation
• Uninstall the Static Page Mod and the ModSettings Textarea Mod 1.0.3
• Apply the upgrade to SMF 1.0.4
• Install the Static Page Mod 1.1

FYI — Static Page Mod 1.1 does work with SMF 1.0.5.

As always: I suggest to save the html, uninstall the mod, apply the SMF update und re-install Static Page Mode.

I'm trying to include an 'if, echo' statement in one of my static pages but it appears they do not display PHP? 

How would I go about, for instance, getting such simple code as

Code Select Expand

[if ($context['user']['is_guest'])
echo 'text';

to work on one of the static pages?

[Isaac]

Just wanted to say, excellent mod, I am using it on my forums.

[–Michael]

Thanks for your feedback.

@Harelin:
PHP is not yet supported, but I am going to implement this in a future release.

Any chance there's a quick fix or I could hard code it in through the actual files?

I'm using the static pages as a series of checks and verifications... first page informs the person, if they aren't registered, that they must register to proceed... second page informs them that they must have a minimum post count of 5 to proceed, etc... and putting an application form at the end.

[–Michael]

Harelin, take a look at _StaticPageMod.template.php, there you could include your checks.

Code Select Expand


// Retrieve the HTML content to display. For $_REQUEST['staticpage'],
// a value between 1 and 5 is supported.
$local_settingvar = "staticpage_Content" . $_REQUEST['staticpage'];
$local_staticContent = $modSettings[$local_settingvar];

// Display the content
if (!empty($local_staticContent)) {
// The setting variable is not empty so we display the content
echo $local_staticContent;
}

Thanks Michael

With PHP enabled, I was able to throw this together:

Michael,

I'm running SMF 1.0.5 and, when I try to download the new release of this mod through the Package Manager, I get this error message:

The package you are trying to download or install is either corrupt or not compatible with this version of SMF.

Any ideas?

TIA

[–Michael]

rvforumite,

I am working on this issue: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=41012.0

Solution so far: You can download the staticpagemod1.3.zip manually and upload it through the Package Manager.

OK thanks for response Michael.

I saw [Unknown]'s response to your question in the other thread so I went ahead and uploaded the mod file using ftp. Looks like it installed just fine. Of course, the language errors were still there.

Meanwhile, since you were able to verify my prior observation, there remains an unanswered question, but that's for you to resolve.

Thanks again for help and thanks for a great mod..
