Topic: Additional Authors

[Bugo]

Hardcoded text (install.xml):

Code: [Select]

<label for="addAuthors">Additional authors: <input type="text" name="addAuthors" id="addAuthors" class="input_text">

Ups, left over from my testing. I'll fix it later.

Nice catch though it didn't throw any errors so nothing too bad anyway

Link the to GitHub doesn't work. I'm having issues with this not working. Probably a conflict with other mods. Is this still supported or is there somewhere I can go for help with this?

Hi Zennia, I've created the repository for the mod. Please let me know what issues you are having!

[Zennia]

thank you so much! I'll go over to Github then and let you know.

Anyway to give standard members the ability to use this also?

I am using 2.0.12 forum version and I was attempting to add new authors to a post and it seems to not be working any longer. I had thought to uninstall the mod but several tests failed... I went into my FTP, found the files to edit and the areas it is missing aren't able to be found even for a manual uninstall.

I don't really want to get rid it; ideally I'd like for it to work again.

Here are the failed tests; two of them when I check to see what to remove are actually blank.

Code: (Find) [Select]
m.icon, m.approved,t.add_authors,

Code: (Replace) [Select]
m.icon, m.approved,

That line cannot be found in the file, the second two are blank and the third says
Code (find):
            'locked' => $topicOptions['lock_mode'] === null ? 'locked' : (int) $topicOptions['lock_mode'],
                                'add_authors' => $topicOptions['add_authors'] === null ? 'add_authors' : ('\'' . $topicOptions['add_authors'] . '\''),

Code (replace):
            'locked' => $topicOptions['lock_mode'] === null ? 'locked' : (int) $topicOptions['lock_mode'],

In the post.template but it's not there in the file requested either. Is there anything I can do to either fix this, or remove it?

I have upgraded from smf 2.0.15 to 2.1 beta4 but whenever i am trying to post new or save draft i am getting below error.

Field 'add_authors' doesn't have a default value
File: /*..*/Sources/SplitTopics.php
Line: 646

Can someone help me with this? No mods are installed but in 2.0.15 additional authors was installed.

You should have uninstalled the mod before you did the upgrade.

And 2.1 is still in beta, it's not recommended for a production site.

That being said, if you'd still like to use 2.1 beta, you'll have to do the upgrade procedure again, but without the mod. Upload the backup before the 2.1 upgrade along with the database. Uninstall the mod and delete the mod file, then do the upgrade again.

Uninstalling the mod would only be relevant if the option to remove all data was taken. As it turns out the person requesting help got help by me pointing out how to fix this without having to uninstall the mod by making the text column nullable so it wouldn't hurt anything else.

I didn't know how the mod was written... I hoped it did this (as you pointed out in some of your previous posts, pointing out HelpDesk as an example of how to do things right).

In any case, glad the problem is sorted .

Thanks to @arantor his method worked.
