Topic: Custom Action Mod

[Arantor]

Um, why? And what does that have to do with this mod?

[skb]

What I'm trying to do is execute this action with a button click, rather than going into phpMyAdmin and doing it manually every time.

[Arantor]

For something that SMF will rewrite anyway for users (almost) every time they hit a page?

when attempting to install this I got, basically AFTER I clicked install this poped up:

Code: (Error) [Select]

BLOB, TEXT, GEOMETRY or JSON column 'name' can't have a default value
File: /Packages/temp/install.php
Line: 123
and this is the line that is causing the problem

Code: (install.php Line 123) [Select]

$smcFunc['db_create_table']('{db_prefix}custom_actions', $columns, $indexes, array(), 'update_remove');

[StarredSkies]

Are these sub-actions really only accessible via URL (action=xx;sa=yy) or should they indeed appear within the new menu button?

I'm off for a tab...

Going to re-ask this question. My subaccounts do not appear as a drop-down menu like my admin/moderator/member buttons.

Hello,
Is there a way to include theme's default bars and colors to the "page" under the action if BBC is selected?
For example to look as "index.php?action=help".

Not sure I follow, can you attach a picture of this "issue"?

If the help action is opened, it looks like this:


But if the custom action is opened, it doesn't have the theme's look and is displayed like this:


Is it possible themes' style to be included in the custom page to keep the look and feel of the theme. I saw similar thing in one of the portals (I think it was "tiny portal") in which the style can be selected - to use theme's colors, borders, etc or not to.

It doesn’t do anything because it’s designed as a base for you to have complete control over what that custom action does, up to and including putting literally whatever content you want there - adding what you’re asking for actually runs counter to what it was designed for.

Going with something like TP might be a simpler and better option.
