Topic Description

Hhhmmm... A little hard for me to do this. After so many mods that I have installed, it's impossible to unistall your mod.
Is there any possibiliy to do manually the needed change in code? And if yes, where?

Thanks.

Hi...did i find a typo ?  i get the following error

./Themes/default/Xml.template.php     File not found 

my file is named with a small "x"    xml.template.php

<file name="$themedir/Xml.template.php">
      <operation>
         <search position="before"><![CDATA[<subject><![CDATA[', $context['message']['subject'], ']]]]>><![CDATA[</subject>]]></search>
         <add><![CDATA[
   <description isfirst="',empty($context['message']['is_first_post']) ? '0' : '1','"><![CDATA[', $context['message']['description'], ']]]]>><![CDATA[</description>]]></add>
      </operation>

That's Xml.template.php.

[tones_ie]

and that actually fixed another prob i was having...lol   the post preview stopped working a while back and is all good again

Can someone possibly help me. Also, here is my Display Template Code just in case. I attached it.


I tried doing it manually, I edited the Display Template and reuploaded it, then tried installing the mod again and still got test failed.

Thanks

[Rudolf]

The install test will fail even if you manually apply the changes before. Doing so it's even worst.
What you should do is apply the mod, then look at the Display.template.php and see which changes were not applied, and apply it.

Attach the Display.template.php after installing the mod and I'll take a look at it. Which theme you are using?

[Rudolf]

Mod don't show descriptions in recent posts, unread topics and unread replies.

I'll see what can I do about this.

Worked perfectly. Thanks Rudolph. I am using the Default SMF Theme.

I am just starting to understand how to manually edit theme files. So if I install a mod and it fails, I should install it, then manually make any changes that it didn't take?

Most of the time yes.
When you uninstall, just make sure that you manually remove what's left from the mod.

Thanks Rudolph

I now get an error when I go back into a topic after I added the part that was missing which was

<!-- //-Topic description MOD- Start -->
      <tr class="titlebg" id="description_row" style="font-weight: normal; ',(empty($context['description']) ? 'display: none' : '') , '">
            <td valign="middle" width="2%" style="padding-left: 6px;">
            </td>
            <td width="13%"></td>
            <td valign="middle" width="85%" style="padding-left: 6px;" id="top_description">
                  ', $txt['topic_description'], ': ', $context['description'], '
            </td>
      </tr>
      <!-- //-Topic description MOD- End -->

The line right before that is

if (!empty($settings['display_who_viewing']))

Any ideas?

[Rudolf]

What kid of error you get?
The code modified is

Code Select Expand

';
if (!empty($settings['display_who_viewing']))
You have to add the mod's code before the <b>';</b> in the line before the <b>if</b> line.

Done correctly

Code Select Expand


</tr>';
if (!empty($settings['display_who_viewing']))

becomes

Code Select Expand


</tr>
<!-- //-Topic description MOD- Start -->
<tr class="titlebg" id="description_row" style="font-weight: normal; ',(empty($context['description']) ? 'display: none' : '') , '">
<td valign="middle" width="2%" style="padding-left: 6px;">
</td>
<td width="13%"></td>
<td valign="middle" width="85%" style="padding-left: 6px;" id="top_description">
', $txt['topic_description'], ': ', $context['description'], '
</td>
</tr>
<!-- //-Topic description MOD- End -->';
if (!empty($settings['display_who_viewing']))


[PixieWAttitude]

Ok. In the XML file it states to add after and you have it before. And I was also missing the </tr> tag as well. It worked The error message I was getting was that there was a Syntax error on line 227-228

<file name="$themedir/Display.template.php">
      <operation>
         <search position="after">
<![CDATA[

]]></search>

<add><![CDATA[

      <tr class="titlebg" id="description_row" style="font-weight: normal; ',(empty($context['description']) ? 'display: none' : '') , '">

I have installed in an spanish language template and it works OK.

The only small bug I have is that I can´t see the "Comment" text label.
I only see ":" and the edit box, but not the title label...

Where can I fix it?

Thanks

[jobromedia]

I'm very keen on installing this mod, but as a new SMFer I have no idea how to beat the error that the test gives me. Can I attach the file so you can take a look at my ./Themes/default/Display.template.php file as well? I know nothing how to fix this. After taking a look at the package myself I gave up. I have no intention whatsoever to mess with garbled xml files. That's one thing I'm 110% against.

[Rudolf]

Try this link: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=140034.0 to view the package.
My bet would be to install the mod, then go and perform the changes in display.template.php manually.
If the above link doesn't helps you, you can attach the file (after you installed the mod) and I'll have a look at it.

[digger]

What about it?

[2bz2p]

Hello,

I have seen your mod in action and I think its a great addition. Though in my forums it looks like this:

Subject:[place where you input subject]
Blank Space :[place where you input Description]

Other than it not titleing the box it works great.

any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Probably you are not using the english language or you're using UTF encoding.
In either case, open up index.your_language.php or the UTF equivalent and add before the closing ?> line:

Code Select Expand


$txt['topic_description'] = 'Description'; //-Topic description MOD-
