Mod Picture View

[menzagitat]

i don't know why it's happening but my forum isn't taking too calmly to this mod, it installs fine and all but when i click on "picture forum view" in admin it comes up with "an error has occured"

i've checked all my code and went through bit by bit to check all the modifications were made, even the database ones but it's still not working...

funny thing is, is that it's working fine on my test forum

I have precisely the same problem and I'm on french SMF 1.1RC1
Whenever i click on "Picture Forum View" in the admin pannel, i get the error "An error has occured !". (in french of course)
I've checked that all the modifications were done, everything is ok but i can't get it to work.
Since nobody except LostProphecy seems to have such a problem, and nobody offered a solution, i ask for help.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
J'ai exactement le même problème et j'utilise SMF 1.1RC1 français.
Lorsque je clique sur "Picture Forum View" dans le panneau d'admin, j'obtiens l'erreur "Une erreur s'est produite !".
J'ai vérifié que toutes les modifications aient été faites, tout est ok mais je n'arrive pas à le faire fonctionner.
Etant donné que personne ne semble avoir un tel problème à part LostProphecy, et que personne n'a proposé de solution, je demande de l'aide à mon tour.

[LostProphecy]

i've never even seen this work for me... i would love so much to have this working...

the mod developer doesn't seem to ever visit this thread and never replied to my post so good luck with them replying to yours

I am about to try to install the mod and modify SQL database manually to customize the icons.
I'll change the images names in the "board" table for each category and see if it work.
I'll keep you informed.
------------------------
Je vais essayer d'installer le mod et modifier la base SQL manuellement pour personnaliser les icônes.
Je vais changer les noms des images dans la table "board" pour chaque catégorie pour voir si ça fonctionne.

[LostProphecy]

ok thanx,

i would've done that as well but as i have a huge number of boards it just seemed too annoying to try

wish it would work, i spend a couple of hours preparing my images to find that the mod worked on my test forum (the reason for me preparing the images) and then wouldn't work on my real forum...

another thing you might want to consider...

was this mod the first mod that you installed on a fresh install...

going by what i experinced maybe it's actually conflicting with another mod... i don't know which could possibly conflict but anyway

[menzagitat]

no, it's not a fresh install and i have other mods running.

The trick i've explained sooner worked so i intent to modify manually the database as a final recourse.

I also noticed the following error in my logs :
8: Undefined index: no_valid_parent
Fichier: /xxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxxxxx/Sources/ManagePFVBoards.php
(the xxxx is only here to hide the site's path).

I will try to exploit that information.

[LostProphecy]

yes that error looks familiar... i believe i noticed that error on my site but had no idea where it came from

[menzagitat]

I finally managed to make it work. 

Follow these instructions and you are done :

Edit the file sources/ManagePFVBoards.php
search for

else
         {
            // Parent doesn't exist.
            if (!isset($boards[$row['ID_PARENT']]['tree']))
               fatal_error(sprintf($txt['no_valid_parent'], $row['bName']));

            $boards[$row['ID_BOARD']]['tree'] = &$boards[$row['ID_PARENT']]['tree']['children'][$row['ID_BOARD']];
         }

replace by

else
         {
            $boards[$row['ID_BOARD']]['tree'] = &$boards[$row['ID_PARENT']]['tree']['children'][$row['ID_BOARD']];
         }

[LostProphecy]

oooh cool

does that make the whole mod work? *crosses fingers in hope*

[menzagitat]

It seems that everything work as it should 


Edit : I just discovered your forum by clicking the WWW icon under your name, i love the way you customized it. Keep on the good work !
I'll edit my profile to include my own board so you can take a look at it. I hope you have some basis in french language. I would be very pleased to see you among us 

[LostProphecy]

thanx i'm glad you like it...

it doesn't have as much customization that it will soon have with this mod and a few more that i'll be shortly adding when i upgrade

unfortunately i know nearly zero french (i want to learn) my best friend and co-webmistress does however so i'll get her to translate some things for me

edit: that code did the trick... you are a genius thanx so much for helping me

Acknowledgements goes to the author of this mod.
I just remembered reading something about having more than 2 (or was it 3 ?) subcategories but I didn't think my issue had a link with that, for the description of the problem was different (or perhaps I misunderstood, don't forget that I'm french  ).
The "parent doesn't exist" error found in my log reminded a portion of the text to be replaced in ManagePFVBoards.php.

When I proceed the install, I don't get to see any options to apply the installed mod.
I am using the right mod, the one from the post above.
It's running on a clean install.

Please help.

[zaandammer]

No one? I'm now going to install it manually. Let's see if that works...

The red-colored text can not be found in Subs.php

Also I'm a MySql noob, i don't understand a thing of it so that's where I'm also stuck.

I hope some one comes with a good answer...
