Alias Boards

[SleePy]

You could remove all child boards from appearing on the boardindex.

As well if you wanted to just hide that board, it would be a simple template change as well to not have it output that child board based on its id.

well... I understand what you're saying, but unfortunately I am not a coder.
Could you use default theme as an example pointing me the right direction?
That will really help.

Thank you SleePY!

You would just find in the template:

Code Select Expand

                    foreach ($board['children'] as $child)
                    {


Then add after that:

Code Select Expand

                        if ($child['id'] == xxx)
                            continue;

Of course replacing xxx with the id of the board (its a unique number not the name).

Thanks for the hint, SleePy
I've found a good workaround.

cheers!

Was it the one I posted above or another?
I am sure others may find your work around helpful

It's similar to your advice.
I disabled the display of child board names in BoardIndex and in Alias Board mod.

Hi,
I believe that my problem is the same as previously discussed - links to aliased child boards are not displaying in my BoardIndex under the boards that they have been aliased to. One thing to note is that commas are appearing under the boards in the BoardIndex where the alias boards should appear. Its as if it knew that there should be another child board there, but the link info got left out. However, everything else is working great! When you have time, could you please fix this issue?

Thank you for your hard work!

[SleePy]

If you view the source do you see the links to those boards? It sounds like its possible they are missing their board names.

I'm having some problems with the child boards. I have the links lined in a single striaght row, but when someone makes a new post the icon to tell you when someone has made a new post doesnt show up for some reason just the text saying NEW POST.

Anyway i can fix this man?

[SleePy]

Hmm.
Does it show in the source of the page?
As if you where to view the source and go find the html for that aliased board, do you see the code for it to load the image?

I wonder if just the path to the image is wrong, so it is defaulting back to the text.

[zer0hal0]

My site is http://dvdresurrections.com/forum/index.php, its shows the no new posts icon and when someone posts in another section of the site the new posts icons work and same goes in the child boards.

Its on the main index page that it doesnt show up. But everything else is fine.

[SleePy]

I don't see any aliased boards as a guest.

btw click that link, your 404 page is messed up.

[zer0hal0]

sorry  put a comma at the end of the link.. The first 2 sections have child boards if ya sign up to the forum you'll see once someone makes a new post that the icon doesnt appear.

[SleePy]

I was referring to the missing images and other things I received on it.
I don't sign up on other peoples forums unless I want to.

Is it not showing it for a board that you aliased as a child board? It is possible that this won't work since it doesn't have the information to know if the message is new or not.

Forgive me if this has been previously answered, but will this mod not alias boards onto index into child boards correct?

Here we do not see "Wheels / Tires - Sponsored by Wheeldude.com" (ignore the W&T redirect that is there, that's something different):


Yet if I'm on the index I do see it:

[SleePy]

Is it is a board on the index that you are aliasing into a child board? It won't show its child boards there.

Category: Mazda3
=> Wheels / Tires
=> MazdaSpeed3

Alias:
Category: Mazda3
=> Wheels / Tires
=> MazdaSpeed3
==> Wheels/Tires (alias)


Can this be done properly, or will this mod not do it?

[SleePy]

There is a bug in 2.0 that is prohibiting the child board aliasing from working right. This is mostly due to the changes in 2.0, and I haven't had time to debug it.

Ah ok.  So it SHOULD do what I'm asking here, but as of right now, is broken?  So if I install this mod and set it up, I'm not doing so in vain, in the long run?

[SleePy]

It should do it, I am not 100% sure how easy it will be to get the functionality back. But I will attempt to do my best to bring it back.
