Second actions in SMF.

[dtm.exe]

Normally, I would look to php.net for help with PHP related issues, but I'm not even sure what the technical name is for ?action=action;sa=secondaction.  What would the code be for this and where would the source code for the page be inputted?

Dan, what are you trying to do?

Dan, what are you trying to do?

Add a second action to a custom action .

(ex. ?action=chat;sa=help)

[Thantos]

the second action would be in the file where the primary action is done.  So the file that handles ?action=chat would then have to handle the secondary action part.

I knew that, I just wanted the code that defines that.  I learned that $_GET can accomplish that.  Thanks for your time, guys .

Code Select Expand

if (@$_REQUEST['action'] == 'action')
{
echo 'this is an action';

if (@$_REQUEST['sa'] == 'subaction')
{
echo' this is a subaction';
}

}


like that.

[dtm.exe]

I'm using the following code:

Code Select Expand

// Second action: help - ?action=chat;sa=help
        if (isset($_GET['sa']) && $_GET['sa'] == 'help')
return ChatHelp();

function ChatHelp() {
          global $context, $settings, $options, $txt, $scripturl;

          echo '


          <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3" >
          <tr>
          <td>', theme_linktree(), '</td>
          </tr>
          </table>

          <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" align="center" class="tborder">
          <tr class="titlebg">
          <td align="center" >PJIRC Integrated Chat Mod Help</td>
          </tr><tr>
          <td class="windowbg">';

          echo '<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="3" width="100%">
          <tr>
           <td width="100%" valign="top">
 
  Help.

   </td></tr></table>';
        echo '
        </td>
        </tr>
        </table><br /><br />';
}

But it's returning the normal chat page with the help box OVER the entire page.  Any idea as to why?

i dont know exactly how you made the chat action in the first place. ill just redo it in my example.

where do you want it? if you just want it to take the place of the chat applet, or above it, just do:

Code Select Expand


if (@$_REQUEST['action'] == 'chat')
{

if (@$_REQUEST['sa'] == 'help')
{
echo' <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3" >
          <tr>
          <td>', theme_linktree(), '</td>
          </tr>
          </table>

          <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" align="center" class="tborder">
          <tr class="titlebg">
          <td align="center" >PJIRC Integrated Chat Mod Help</td>
          </tr><tr>
          <td class="windowbg">';

          echo '<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="3" width="100%">
          <tr>
           <td width="100%" valign="top">
 
  Help.

   </td></tr></table>';
        echo '
        </td>
        </tr>
        </table><br /><br />';
}
else
{
echo' <p/><p/>pretend this is the chat ';
}
}
?>

Tipp, the SA is settled and setup properly.  The problem is that the page is loading ABOVE the main chat page.  One would assume that it would do the exact same for your script.

[1MileCrash]

it's not though. i use it all the time on my pages..

Just to prove a point, I tried it on my forum.  After copying and pasting your code (and adding an extra } at the end that was left out), the same exact thing happens.

[1MileCrash]

show me where i need the } at...i may have made that mistake on real stuff.

why does it work on my examples/site though?

I didn't scroll down enough to copy the last }, therefore I missed it.  My bad.

Why does it work on your website and not mine, you ask?  I don't know; you tell me.
