Anonymous Board Mod

[Paul_Pauline]

I'll have a play about with that when I get a minute   

[stopthere]

I can't believe no one has taken it on to update to use with 2

hello Kindred,

this is a highly used mod with over 30,000 downloads.. is there any support for smf 2.x?

Bugo,

I put this mod up for grabs... but you never contacted me about taking over.
Siklife did, but then never moved on it...   However, you should *NOT* include an attachment to update a mod. You should always contact the author and ask if you can take over the mod and thus get the mod officially turned over to you and reviewed by the customization team instead of bypassing the normal procedure.

Pending this, I have removed your attachment.

so a user can make and release it but due to that over 60,000 downloads in total are out of luck??
not cool

[Kindred]

did you even read my post other than the "I have removed..."?

I specifically stated that, if Bugo wanted to take over the mod and release an update, he should contact me and make arrangements to officially take it over and have it shifted to his authorship. Attachments in this thread are *NOT* the way to make a release.

right does not change the fact.

Another vote here.  My forum reached over 7,000 members with this mod, they are completely addicted to it.  I'm stuck in the dark ages with 1.1.11 until this mod makes the move.

YES, it does change the fact.  NO ONE HAS EVER ACTUALLY CONTACTED ME about taking over this mod. I am willing to transfer ownership, but that person needs to take over being owner, and support....    and attachments in the thread are not the way to do it.

Kindred, I don't want take over the mod, I just wanted help you with updating to SMF 2, because you have no time for this.

Kindred,
  I am having the same problem that was described back on reply 61. I installed the mod. For a while, it was working but last week, now the only way to post anon is if you reply to an existing post. If you try to start a new topic, it posts with your name and doesn't show the "Post this message with your username (NOT ANONYMOUS)" check box. I manually checked the install, and it is correct. We are using SMF 1.1.12.

The error is similar too:
"Notice: Undefined index: anonymousBoard in /usr/local/www/apache22/data/*****/forum/Themes/default/languages/Post.english.php (main sub template - eval?) on line 624"

Post.english.php only has 186 lines, so that's kind of weird.

I read through this thread, but didn't really see a solution. Would you be willing to revisit this issue and perhaps give me some guidance? I am stuck.
Many thanks.

out of the blue?


Did you perhaps add a new mod or a new theme?

I haven't looked at this mod in well over a year...   so I am unsure what issues still exist, but I swear I fixed that one.

[impreza]

Great addition - I tested it, I greet and thank

To the best of my knowledge, no new mods were added. I changed some permissions to local to restrict some regular members on some stuff, and the problem appeared almost immediately after. The frustrating part is that I feel I should be able to figure this out. It is only failing on new topic posts. But it beats me where the context is being lost.

[Kindred]

hmmm....   it may be a conflict with the local versus global permissions....    I never thought to test it on a board with local permissions.

I changed the board back to global permissions with no change in symptoms. I also tried adding guest account posting permissions as a test (didn't leave that long for obvious reasons), but also no change.

kindred i was wondering if someone had requested to take this over yet so that it could be updated as this mod would be perfect for my forum but im on 2.0.

or do you know of any paid alternatives as it is a mod i would pay a fair amount for

[Kindred]

no one has approached me

Kindred,
  I think I have figured out some of what's going on, but I have no idea how to fix it. I use APC for cache. Whenever the cache is set to any level of caching, I see the problem. Set to "No Cache" and the problem disappears and topics can be created anonymously again. Obviously, I would like to be able to use APC on SMF, but have it turned off as a workaround for now. This is a very odd interaction to my experience. Do you have any ideas on what may be the problem?

By the way, since I haven't said it yet, thanks for this mod! Even with the issue we're banging on right now, it has been extremely useful.

[Kindred]

That is odd.... I wonder why caching would interfere with this mod...

BTW: Try installing the mod for disabling the eval function....    that way we can see where the actual error is happening.
