Board News

No need to change, just append stuff missing from normal to utf-8 files, it's perfectly fine as my english language file changes do not have foreign characters..

Ahh...
That makes sense. Thank you.

Version 1.22 of the mod produces an error on my SMF forum when i try to install it:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '&', expecting T_VARIABLE or '$' in ********/Packages/temp/add_settings.php on line 74

I guess it has something to do with the PHP version running on the server.
However, i could fix it by changing the code of add_settings.php.

The following block (starting at line 71) must be changed:

Code Select Expand


        foreach($listFile as $listLine)
                foreach ($Deps as &$depend)
                        if (substr($listLine, 0, strlen($depend['name'])) == $depend['name'])
                                $depend['is_installed'] = 1;


to the following:

Code Select Expand


        foreach($listFile as $listLine)
                foreach ($Deps as $key=>$depend)
                        if (substr($listLine, 0, strlen($depend['name'])) == $depend['name'])
                                $Deps[$key]['is_installed'] = 1;

I get this after an install how do I uninstall? I can not get to my board so I need to do it manually

Fatal error: Call to undefined function genboardnews() in C:\wamp\www\stfu\Sources\Subs.php on line 3098

please email me at [email protected]

[jake1981]

Mail sent with instructions.

[waremock]

Could I also have the instructions on how to uninstall, my board is broken.

[jake1981]

Hard to say. Okubo had old version with different kind of approach to this solution. You might have different version and I don't know reason why your board is broken and as I explained to Okubo privately, board being broken is not fault of my MOD directly..

[waremock]

I figured it out myself.  I had this same error
Fatal error: Call to undefined function genboardnews() in C:\wamp\www\stfu\Sources\Subs.php on line 3098
after I tried to uninstall the MOD.

I was able to restore my files.

[jake1981]

btw- I recommend Xampp over wamp, check it out at apache friends.. It's newer and more frequently updated and way better on every aspect..

I just installed this mod today and the install went fine, but when I went to the admin settings for it I received this error

Code Select Expand

faultCode0faultStringFatal error:Cannot redeclare editboardnews() (previously declared in <path to forum>/Forum/Sources/ManageNews.php:166) in <path to forum>/Forum/Sources/ManageNews.php on line 277

Installed today on an almost fresh install of SMF 1.1.4, and it's not working. Everything else works fine, but no news show up. There's just blank space where the news should be (except when I add normal SMF news, which still work fine).

The problem persists both on the Default theme and my custom theme which is based on the default theme, with mostly visual adjustments, and which will be the only selectable theme in my forums.

The language I'm using is finnish-utf8, but I just tested with English as the language and neither work.

So it's not a theme or language related issue.

The other installed mods on my forums are:
Anonymous Posting Mod
Visual Verification Options
ssi_boardNews Multiple Boards

I just found out that the news banner was empty because boardnews updates it with the topics from the wrong board. I have board X selected as the source of news in boardnews settings, but board Y is used instead!

Well, at least the mod works, now if I just managed to get it working correctly...

EDIT: Perfect! I tried to change the mod settings, and boardnews broke my forums! "NSURLErrorDomain:-1005" in Safari, blank page in Firefox. No idea how to go on from here. When I get my board working again, this junk mod goes straight out of the window! I don't have time nor nerves for this.

After installing this mod my XAMPP said: goodbye i encountered an error and have to close down.
since then the smf gives me a timeout.

Tried repair_settings.php but didn't solved it.

Is there anything I can do?
What could cause this and how can I uninstall this fully if smf doesnt even work?

[seymoor]

managed to restore a backup.

the error log is like this:

http://localhost/smf/index.php
Database Error: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ')
AND FIND_IN_SET(-1, memberGroups)
ORDER BY ID_BOARD ASC' at line 3
File: C:\xampp\htdocs\smf\SSI.php
Line: 1291

after this accident xampp is dieing now and then, so after giving another try to this mod, xampp and the whole smf will be uninstalled, and then, hopefully, reinstalled.

anyone has any tips?
