Alias Boards

[Crip]

Is this mod compatible with version 1.1.10 ?

[SleePy]

No, but from what I can think of.  It could be backported, but due to a lack of time, I won't be able to do that.

[nestortoledo]

i just downloaded last version, but the installer tell me the file is corrupt.

[SleePy]

I repackaged the mod.  Give it another try

[nestortoledo]

Thanks, now is working, nice mod, thanks a lot

Hi,

I get a database error when trying to install this mod:

Displayed error when installing the mod using package manager:

Table '*****_smf2.smf2_smf2_boards' doesn't exist
File: /home/*****/public_html/SMF/Packages/temp/database_install.php
Line: 65

Displayed error when trying to execute database_install.php as a standalone:

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '`*****_smf2`.smf2_boards' at line 2
File: /home/*****/public_html/SMF/database_install.php

SHOW FIELDS
FROM `chassis_smf2`.smf2_`chassis_smf2`.smf2_boards
Line: 65

Further explanation of the database setup:
Name: *****_smf2
Forum prefix: smf2_

Seems that the prefix smf2_ is being parsed twice?
Got any ideas?

Thanks!

[SleePy]

What version of SMF are you using?

[Propaganistas]

Oops, I didn't mentioned that. Shame on me x)

SMF 2.0 RC1.2

[SleePy]

Ahhh.. Due to a bug in SMF, code was changed on how database prefixes where handled in 2.0 RC2.

You can use a previous version of the mod which supported SMF 2.0 RC1.  I provide those old versions on my site.

Aaah! I misunderstood the 'bug in SMF 2' part in the mod description

Thanks!

EDIT: I still have one question:
I have a board in category 1 displayed ONLY for membergroup 1, and I want to have it aliased in category 2 ONLY for membergroup 2 (so membergroup 1 doesn't see category 2 with just a single board because they can't see the other ones and vice versa). Is this possible to set up? I'm asking this because the aliased boards do not show up in the ManageBoards index page, so we can't set separate permissions for it.

[SleePy]

That isn't currently possible to do.  This just tricks the code in SMF to move the board to different categories and locations.  They still need access to this board to be able to see it.

[Propaganistas]

Can't this be done by lettting the boards show up on ManageBoards index (e.g with a small *-prefix)? Because we can then set different permission settings...
If so, can you provide me the code snippet? (i don't think there has to be changed that much?)

[SleePy]

It could be done, but the current way the code is setup doesn't allow for this to be done easily.

Fixed install for SMF 2.0 RC3:

File ManageBoards.template.php

Code Select Expand

// We need some globals that SMF doesn't have.
global $cat_tree, $boards;

echo '
<div>
<dl class="settings">
<dt>
<strong>', $txt['alias_cat_title'], '</strong><br />
<span class="smalltext">', $txt['alias_cat_desc'], '</span><br />
</dt>
<dd>
<select name="alias_cat[]" multiple="multiple">
<option value="">', $txt['no_cat_selected'], '</option>';
foreach ($cat_tree as $category)
echo '
<option', !isset($context['board']['is_new']) && in_array($category['node']['id'], $context['board']['alias_cat']) ? ' selected="selected"' : '', ' value="', $category['node']['id'], '">', $category['node']['name'], '</option>';
echo '
</select>
</dd>
<dt>
<strong>', $txt['alias_child_title'], '</strong><br />
<span class="smalltext">', $txt['alias_child_desc'], '</span><br />
</dt>
<dd>
<select name="alias_child[]" multiple="multiple">
<option value="">', $txt['no_boards_selected'], '</option>';
foreach ($boards as $board)
echo '
<option', !isset($context['board']['is_new']) && in_array($board['id'], $context['board']['alias_child']) ? ' selected="selected"' : '', ' value="', $board['id'], '">', $board['name'], '</option>';
echo '
</select>
</dd>
</dl>
</div>';

Does this mod work with RC5 ?

[dougiefresh]

The mod download site for this mod stated anyone interested in developing this mod should contact SleePy.  I have done so.  SleePy has agreed to transfer the mod to me, under the condition that I keep it free to the public.  I agreed to this condition.  SleePy has approved and I am waiting for the mod to be transferred to me.

During the wait, I have made the changes that Bugo described a few posts back and have labeled this an unofficial (for now) v1.2.  It is attached to this post.

[margarett]

Apologies for the delay. The mod author change was done.

Uploaded v1.2 - October 31st, 2014
+ Fixed the Manage Board UI using the changes Bugo posted

It's now official.  The mod download page has been updated with the unofficial mod, making it official.

No problem!  I appreciate it!
