zCommunity 0.8.1 Beta Now available! (supports SMF 2.0 RC1 and 1.1.8)

[betty02]

I went to Packages-Downlaod Packages-Upload A Package and uploaded the .zip folder?

[MrMorph]

Yeah you run the install file, but theres also a folder with all the files in which you need to upload seperately and BEFORE you run the package installer.   I suggest you go back and read the instructions again.

[betty02]

Agh ive done it now, were do i view the blogs?

[gbsothere]

Bumping MrMorph's question, since I know Charles is busy moving his site to a new server (so I can't search there) and hoping that someone else will know the answer to this?

Does anyone know how to add a link to any existing blog for a user in their profile page please ?

Cheers.

Is this safe for smf 1.1.10?

[gbsothere]

Is this safe for smf 1.1.10?

Baloch, it should be fine.  I installed 0.8.1 on my 1.1.9 forum and, when upgrading to 1.1.0, it was unaffected.  The only file involved in the upgrade to 1.1.0 that is also included in zCommunity's parsing instructions is /index.php and the only edit made to that during the upgrade is the version number (from 1.1.9 to 1.1.10 ).

GLig, did you do this?

Admin-------->zCommunity---------->Control Panel--------->Permissions

Then click "Modify" next to the name of the member group to set the permissions for that group. 

If the member you created is a "Regular" member, then you need to click Modify next to that group and make sure all the appropriate permissions are checked, then save your changes.  Also, if a blog has restricted access, then only the groups you allow to view "regardless of access restrictions" will be able to see them.

If you downloaded the 0.8.1 beta version, then this reminder is in bold font on the mod's description page:

Upload the zCommunity folder (from the compressed archive package that ends with __files) to your forum's main directory *BEFORE* installing the changes to your SMF Forum via the package manager installation package.

For that version, when you unzipped the mod, there were two folders, one ending in "__smf_install" and one ending in "beta__files".  In the "beta__files" folder, there is a folder:  zCommunity.  That folder should have been uploaded to your forum's root directory before you tried to install.   (If, for some reason, you downloaded the 0.7.9 version, then the zCommunity folder is located in the "zCommunity_0_7_9_alpha__files" and still must be uploaded to your forum's root directory.) 

If you are using 0.8.1 and you've manually edited your files, then upload the included file "install_db_edits.php" into your forum's root directory and point your browser to it (example:  mywebsite.com/smf/install_db_edits.php) and hit your return key to run it.  (But do make sure you have the zCommunity folder located in your forum's root directory, first.)


You should remove the "install_db_edits.php" file from your forum's root directory, when you're done.

  it's work, i have copy files but files in ZCommunity folder that's my misstake.

One other thing, how to add a different languages file ?,

[gbsothere]

MrVox, you might try going to the Swedish (Language support) thread here:

http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?board=17.0

and asking someone there to take a look at the language files for 0.8.1 zCommunity (is that the version you're using?) and see if they can help.  I've attached only the language folder for that version to this post and you download the zip and then reattach it to your post there for them to look at.

Translating this zcommunity, I'm guessing that I have to translate all of the zcommunity's english.php files in oder to get this translated and renamaing them into like post.finnish.php? But when I have translated all of the english file into finnish will it use the finnish files instead of the english file automaticly or do I have change settings somewhere that it would use finnish files?

Love the Blog Mod but... I'm on my third test blog and each one has been rendered dead by this error:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 2168324 bytes) in /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/smf/zCommunity/Sources/Subs.php on line 1407

I can view individual posts and I can even delete the posts but until I delete them all from the database the Blog delivers an error.
** When the DB is emptied of articles for the blog, the blog shows it has 1 article but displays none and has none in the DB.


My PHP.ini shows the following memory limit:
memory_limit   32M (local)   32M(master)

So I created a custom INI file and placed it in the SMF folder, I requested 68megs and now the error message says:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytesexhausted (tried to allocate 7864320 bytes) in /home/xxxxxx/public_html/smf/zCommunity/Sources/Subs.php on line 1407


What is using so much memory? Any ways to fix?

Thanks,
snack

I am getting the following  error when I attempt to place the rss feed into a tiny portal block. I thought at first it was a tiny portal issue but when I go look at the raw xml file I get

Code Select Expand

XML Parsing Error: not well-formed
Location: http://<my site url>/index.php?zc=.xml
Line Number 3, Column 3: <1>
---------^

This very error is showing up in the tiny portal rss block so its not originating at all with TP, instead its a SMF/zCommunity thing.

Where can I edit the xml output generator to see where the error may be occurring?

Thanks in advance

[Kindred]

erealmz....   try search?  That question has been answered over and over in this thread and nearly every other mod thread.   You have some code that was modified by something else, so the system can not automatically install in those sections. You will have to manually make the modifications to those files.

Create new blog, post, repeat above.

i know... and the system tells me what to add. so i go to the file, look for the part to edit... and it doesnt exist. I can not add a code if I dont know where to add it. i will try again

[Kindred]

well, see, that's the thing... if the exact code was there, the system could do the install automatically.

You have to look at the code and find the likely match.

erealmz, it may be that some mod you've previously installed has overwritten or changed just enough of the code on the files you're showing as "failed" to keep you from successfully installing the mod.  If you want to try manually installing the mod,  use the parsing instructions for your version of smf found here (click the button by the install zip you used and then use the pull-down to find the parse for your version and then, after you've first placed the zCommunity folder (from the compressed archive package that ends with __files) into your forum's root directory and have uploaded your edited files to their proper folders,  place the install_db_edits.php into your forum's root directory and point your browser to it. If you install with this method, you won't need to go through the package manager.

Another option, if you want to go through the package manager, is to get clean copies of the files that are failing the test from your SMF folder (if you still have it from when you installed SMF or upgraded) and upload those to your server.  Bear in mind, after zCommunity is installed, you will want to re-edit those files to put back any edits that some of your other mods may have used on those same files, so before you begin, you may want to have the manual parsing for your other mods handy so that you can add their edits back into your "clean" files and then reupload the files.
