SMF 2.0???

What about 2.0?

Oh do you mean the mod to be upgraded?

If you were to read a few posts back I believe you will realise the mod already works on 2.0

It does on my forum anyway.

[digitalmikey]

Please update this to 2.0. I don't want to emulate RC4 when all my other mods work on 2.0, Thanks!

Read my previous post.

They mean they DO NOT want to emulate to 2.0 RC4, since it's a "pain". They want everything handed to them on a golden platter. They don't want to learn anything new. They don't want to do anything differently. They want things done their way. Bla bla bla.

Guys emulating is not dangerous, or difficult. There's just as much risk installing a mod while you have other mods installed, as there is emulating a mod that hasn't been updated yet. Either the mod works, or it doesn't. However, as Brack1 says, it DOES work on 2.0, so just give the outdated mod a try. I've installed plenty of mods that I've had to emulate and they all worked, while I've also installed mods that WERE updated, but DID NOT work, due to conflicts with other mods.

Quoted for truth.

I've never had a problem with learning something new nor have I complained about needing to emulate, I just wanted clarification on how to do so. So I didn't just jump in and break my forum like I usually do. Is there a good guide on how to emulate something? or is it very simple?

[MiY4Gi]

It's very simple.

You download/upload the package as usual, but when you get to the point when you need to install, navigate back to Admin > Main > Package Manager > Browse Packages.

Note the position of your mod on the list of uploaded mods. Most of the mods will have [Uninstall] or [Install Mod] before [list Files], however the Ultimate Profile mod, will NOT have an [Install Mod], since the mod is "incompatible" with 2.0 Gold, nor an [Uninstall], since the mod hasn't been installed yet.

Now, click Advanced in the bottom right corner, then type in SMF 2.0 RC4 and click Apply. Check to see if [Install Mod] appeared next to Ultimate Profile. If not, go back to Advanced and change the version to SMF 2.0 RC3 and click Apply, then check to see if [Install Mod] appeared.

Repeat the process with various versions of SMF 2.0 until the [Install Mod] appears, then click it and proceed with the installation as usual.

That my friend, is called emulating.  [/list]

Seems very straight forward, thank you! Does this mean the whole SMF installation reverts to a RC4/ RC3 standard? I mean to say RC4 was updated due to security issues was it not? Someone should just add your explanation to the OP and save everyone the trouble.

Once the mod is installed and working properly, go back to Browse Packages > Advanced, and either click Revert, or type in SMF 2.0. You'll notice that the [Uninstall] option disappears from the Ultimate Profile mod when you do this, but you can just change back to RC4 when you want to uninstall the mod. Emulation doesn't change the actual forum, it just makes the forum THINK it's a lower version, so that it will allow "incompatible mods" to be installed.

There should be a FAQ on this forum that explains how to emulate, so it's not necessary to explain it in the OP of this thread, nor in any other thread.

Is there anyway, I did search and found nothing, to rearrange buddies on your buddy list.  Like an up/down button, or a way to drag buddies to another location on your list?

Nope.

I went around & around with this same issue. As far as I know, no-one has ever managed to explain how exactly it works. Dumbest way of managing a simple list I've ever run across. (I quit trying to figure it out. None of it makes any kind of sense to me.)

I actually found a fix, for SMF2 users with Ult. Profile ....

Profile > Modify Profile > Buddies/Ignore List > Edit Buddies

Ok, so I just tested something, and this 'swapping' actually seems like a viable way to organize buddies List.

Go to the 2nd to last buddy, click the "down" arrow ... now, just click the 'down' arrow over each Buddy you want to place at the bottom (like inactive members).

Then, refresh the page, pick a spot where you want to move certain buddies to, then click the "Up" arrow, then find each buddy you want to place there, and click the "Up" arrow next to their name.  Refresh the page, each time you want to add buddies in a different section on your buddies list, and repeat.

I am running SMF 2.0, I emulated 2.0 RC4 and installed and have it enabled but when I click on profile I get this error:

Code Select Expand

Unknown column 'com.time' in 'field list'
File: /home/content/88/6470888/html/Sources/Profile-View.php
Line: 246

How can I fix this?

Just 4 little tiny posts above yours is the answer to your question.....

[trekkie2444]

Is there a way to get the Google Member Map to work on the Ultimate Profile? It's not showing up on mine. http://e-p1.net/profile/

[[unplugged]]

Yes. I am using it on mine.

Let me dig up what I did....it was a long time ago. I'll post it here.

[[unplugged]]

Simple enough.

Open UltimateProfile.template.php.

In the $column_layout array add an entry called 'membermap', where you want your map to display (top, left, right, or bottom). I have mine in the right array as follows:

Code Select Expand

'right' => array(
'media',
'membermap',
'buddies',
                'visitors',
'awards',
'championships',

Next, at the end of the file just before the ?> add the following block of code:

Code Select Expand

function up_block_membermap()
{
global $modSettings, $context, $txt, $scripturl, $user_info;
if(isset($context['member']['googleMap']['latitude']) && isset($context['member']['googleMap']['longitude'])){
if ($modSettings['googleMapsEnable'] && allowedTo('googleMap_view'))
{
if (isset($context['member']['googleMap']['latitude']) && isset($context['member']['googleMap']['longitude']))
{

echo '
<div id="up_membermap">
<div class="cat_bar">
<h3 class="catbg" style="text-align:left;">
'.$txt['googleMap'].'
<span class="floatright" style="font-size:.8em;"><a href="'.$scripturl.'?action=profile;area=customized;u='.$context['member']['id'].';#mmap">Edit pin</a></span>
</h3>
</div>
<div class="windowbg creator">
<div class="content">
<script src="http://maps.google.com/maps?file=api&v=2&key=' . $modSettings['googleMapsKey'] . '" type="text/javascript"></script>
<div id="map" style="width: 100%; height: 350px; color: #000000;"></div>
<input type="hidden" name="latitude" size="50" value="', $context['member']['googleMap']['latitude'], '" />
<input type="hidden" name="longitude" size="50" value="', $context['member']['googleMap']['longitude'], '" />
<script type="text/javascript">';

// Evil hack on this!!!
echo '
//' . chr(60) . chr(33) . chr(91) . chr(67) . chr(68) . chr(65) . chr(84) . chr(65) . chr(91);

echo '
function LoadMap()
{
var map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map"));
map.addControl(new GSmallMapControl());
map.addControl(new GMapTypeControl());
map.setCenter(new GLatLng(' . $context['member']['googleMap']['latitude'] . ',' . $context['member']['googleMap']['longitude'] . '), 13, '. $modSettings['googleMapsType'] . ');
var point = new GLatLng(' . $context['member']['googleMap']['latitude'] . ',' . $context['member']['googleMap']['longitude'] . ');
var marker = new GMarker(point);
map.addOverlay(marker);
}

if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) {
window.onload=LoadMap;
}';

// Let's make another evil hack!
echo '
//' . chr(93) . chr(93) . chr(62);

echo '
</script>
</div>

</div>
</div><br />';
}
}
}
}

That block was simply taken from the GoogleMap template.

Please keep in mind that the block of code is styled for my site and may look odd used in your layout, but the needed code is there.

Does anyone know which code I would need so I can show the Activity bar on a persons Ultimate Profile?

[Kindred]

what is the activity bar?
