Ignore Topics

[ascaland]

Updated the package.

[Chas Large]

Thanks PE, that's fixed it.

I'm a retard, and spent forever trying to figure out why the mod wasn't working.  Came down to $modSettings['allow_ignore_topics'] and I couldn't find where to toggle it.  Had to parse the mod to see it put it in ManageBoards.


Wouldn't this setting be more appropriate in Topic Settings or even miscellaneous mod settings?  Maybe it's just me, but I find Board settings counter-intuitive.


May also want to make a note to enable the mod in the mod info.


Hope this idea helps some!

Joe,

You need enable quick moderation in your perfil to see this mod ...

Yes, Quick Moderation is enabled as you can see by the checkboxes in the screen shot I posted.

I've installed it in RC5, and enabled quick moderation, but still cannot see it. Is it not compatible with RC5, and is there a way where (when/if I can get it to work) I can make that an option for everyone, without each user having to go into quick moderation to activate it themselves?

[ascaland]

The modification only allows you to set the topics to ignore in the recent posts page (unless im missing something too ). I will update this mod with few extra things in the coming weeks.

[TJ2011]

Oh ok, so topics previously are not within it's scope, even if they should in the unread posts since last visit link? And, do all users need to enable quick moderation to use it?

Actually just took a look at a new topic created today, and no option to put it on ignore either?

Are you using the default theme? if not then the mod may not be enabled for the theme you use.

In the Admin > Forum > Boards > Settings section have you checked "Enable Ignore-Topics mod" ? and set a maximum number and also in Admin > Members > Permissions > General Permissions > Regular Members > General area, is Ignore Topics checked?

If neither of these are checked then no-one will see the ignore topics button at the top of the Unread Posts or New Replies lists, it does not show on the Forum / Board list of topics.

And yes, members do need to have Simple Moderation >> checkboxes enabled to be able to select the topic to be ignored.

This was it ^^

OK, will let them know. Thanks!!

Glad that sorted it. It's quite common where new features are added that a permission is required to use it but it's not documented. Hint hint to all mod developers

lol, true...thanks

Have just had this ignore thread installed:-

http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1193

Nothing at all is showing up on site and all file edits have been checked and are in place.

We have the forum default theme set.

Any ideas what may be the problem?

Have you made sure those are all checked?

OK. I've enabled "Enable Ignore-Topics mod" and set the figure at 50 and saved the change.

I've also enabled Ignore Topics in General Permissions > Regular Members are.

But where is 'Simple Moderation >> checkboxes enabled'.

[newtoallthis]

Sorted. Didn't realise you meant personal profile changes. Now working, thanks.

Should this mod hide ignored topics in the 'Recent Posts' Simple Portal block?

[Chas Large]

Should this mod hide ignored topics in the 'Recent Posts' Simple Portal block?

No and it doesn't hid it in the Info Centre either, it's a user function for users to ignore topics in the unread Posts and New Replies lists ONLY AFAIK. That's the way it works on my forum anyway and no-one's ever complained that ignored topics are appearing on the front page (SP Block) or in the Info Centre.

Thank you for the explanation.

I'm trying to deploy this on a 2.0 (just upgraded from RC2) installation

The Package Manager stalls on the first 2 changes to Recent.php

It fails (in pre-install test) on:

// Find the 10 most recent messages they can *view*.
   // !!!SLOW This query is really slow still, probably?

Those lines are in the Recent.php; I even replaced the existing lines with the 2 above mentioned by the Package Manager

and on

SELECT m.id [nofollow]_msg
      FROM {db_prefix}messages AS m
         INNER JOIN {db_prefix}boards AS b ON (b.id_board = m.id [nofollow]_board)
      WHERE ' . $query_this_board . '
         AND m.approved = {int:is_approved}
      ORDER BY m.id [nofollow]_msg DESC
      LIMIT {int:offset}, {int:limit}',
      array_merge($query_parameters, array(
         'is_approved' => 1,

I'm no MOD specialist (this is the second one I'm installing) but comfortable with PHP

Can I savely hit Install or should I fix something first?

This could probably create a problem with having the topics display properly when members go to use the page. I havnt updated or made any changes to this for SMF 2 yet, so if you can, stay patient and bear with me.
