Recent posts user preference

[happyfeet]

I am using SMF 1.1.7, TP 0.98 and have version 3.04 of this mod installed. Using either my Administrator or general user test accounts, I receive the following error when selecting Profile - Modify Profile - Recent Posts and Preferences:

" Unable to load the 'recentPosts' template. "

I have "Enable extra user preferences for recent post blocks" enabled (checked) in the Configuration - Features and Options - Recent Posts/Topics section.

I used the package installer feature to load this mod into my site, in which all install tests were successful. I have extracted the recentposts_304.tar.gz file and validated all merge steps in RP.mod were installed correctly.

Any ideas?

If everything is installed correctly it should work (I tested it on 1.1.7). Do you have other (profile) mods installed? Do the other profile preferences still function like they should? Maybe you can post your Profile.template.php so i can take a look.

OK, so I am embarrased to say why this was not working. Let's just say that if you are using a custom theme, to check the custom theme folder and make sure that copy of profile.template.php contains the necessary code. My bad!

DOH!

Didn't think of that one yet Good thing they tackled that (mostly) for SMF 3 (which will try to install in all installed themes).

Having some troubles here, been a long time since upgrading this mod ..... any way decided to upgrade it , but I am missing the admins settings, I have the link to Features and Options > Recent posts/topics , but when I click on it it only gives me the basic features page and the  Recent posts/topics doesn't open up

I manually installed it because I my website is heaviy modded so I may hae missed something .... any idea's ??

Also limit days are not working.

You probably didn' t apply some changes to your recent.template and the /Sources/ModSettings.php

Never mind fixed it 

This has come a long way since last time I used it MS, love the time limit

[JaGuR]

OK, time to put back, here is a HACK for the dropdown menu HACK,

a Hack for a Hack 

Displays the number of days selected in the drop down box, if you selected to show 3 days, then instead displaying 1 in the dropdown box it will display3 ...  your last selection.

Code Select Expand

<form action="index.php?action=recenttopics" method="POST">
<select name="limit">
<option value=1 ' . ($_POST['limit']==1 ? 'selected' : '') . '>1</option>
<option value=2 ' . ($_POST['limit']==2 ? 'selected' : '') . '>2</option>
<option value=3 ' . ($_POST['limit']==3 ? 'selected' : '') . '>3</option>
<option value=5 ' . ($_POST['limit']==5 ? 'selected' : '') . '>5</option>
<option value=10 ' . ($_POST['limit']==10 ? 'selected' : '') . '>10</option>
<option value=30 ' . ($_POST['limit']==30 ? 'selected' : '') . '>30</option>
<option value=50 ' . ($_POST['limit']==50 ? 'selected' : '') . '>50</option>
<option value=100 ' . ($_POST['limit']==100 ? 'selected' : '') . '>100</option>
<option value=300 ' . ($_POST['limit']==300 ? 'selected' : '') . '>300</option>
</select>
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="recenttopics">

I'm using SMF 2.0 beta 4 with the Recent posts & topics 3.04 mod installed. I get 2 PHP errors if I click on any of the pages in the admin panel "Configuration:Features & Options. All of them give the same PHP errors:

Code Select Expand


8: Undefined index: recentposts_title
Apply Filter: Only show the errors from this file
File: /home/content/b/4/p/b4printadmin/html/forums/Sources/ManageSettings.php

8: Undefined index: label
File: /home/content/b/4/p/b4printadmin/html/forums/Themes/default/GenericMenu.template.php (generic_menu_dropdown_above sub template - eval?)

Any ideas?

Hi all,

hope you can give me some pointers as my setup does not seem to be working.

I installed 3.04 on SMF1.17, the files tested ok, and all went well installing.

All the settings were done from within SMF's admin interface, and user settings were also performed.

However, on the board index, where it says "view the most recent posts in the forum", the URL is stuck at "./index.php?action=recent". It also goes to the standard recent post page.





When I manually enter "./index.php?action=recenttopics", everything works fine.



Anyone can tell me what went wrong and how to solve it?

[chrishicks]

does this work on 1.1.8?

[neddim]

No it does not. I ve tried, but it says it is incompatible with 1-1-8 version.
Hope so, someone would make needed changes to make it work with new SMF version.
It is the best recent post mod, cause it has a member selection options function.

[Lotti]

how i can show the post only of one or two boards from ssi_recentTopics()? i try but...

[Lotti]

sorry but, no reply to me?

[miseryshining]

Sorry everyone, i must have missed the automatic thread update notification some time ago.

@mau77: you probably have a mod installed that already changed a file. uninstall all mods and then try to reinstall it.
@joec88: will fix those in the next version. They are non-critical btw, won't break anything. 
@hangyong: it doesn't replace the recent posts link. If you want to change it you should edit the corresponding template file.
@neddim: update is coming
@lotti: did you try this? (you have to replace the board numbers with the one you want to show):
