[TIP/TRICK] ForumTools Settings Manager

[Arantor]

And SMF has hundreds of functions that may well be relevant to you, but I guess you're not interested in making use of what's already implemented, tested, debugged and will continue to ignore all that in favour of doing your own thing. Have fun.

I am gonna use a few functions but I'll make most myself.

Project renamed: ForumTools Settings Manager.

1.3 is about to get released.

- Now is in the FTSM.php format (ForumTools Settings Manager, instead of SMFTools Settings Manager)
- Cleaned up code
- Can now notify the administrator if an error has occured (if the administrator has enabled this feature, via mail)
- Now tries to recover the connection when the ['enable'] variable isn't true, nor false
- Fixed lots of code.
- Fixed GuestDB connection code (though it still needs applying in our actual DB)
- Redone error messages

(oh and wow I didn't know you could expand the Quick Reply textbox?)

I will release an upgrade package later tomorrow which will remove SMFTSM.php and extract & apply FTSM.php.

Manual edits: (No package needed)
Find (index.php):
require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/SMFTSM.php');

Replace (index.php):
require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/FTSM.php');

Then remove the SMFTSM.php from your forum and upload the FTSM.php (click to download) to your forum.

This release is tested & is comfirmed stable.

Thanks, I'm testing it

I'll release 1.3.2 later today in an install package so I will suggest waiting for that one

- Now hides the PHP error when SMTP isn't correctly set up (it now shows a message in the FTSM error)
- Removed GuestDB feature; it wasn't able to connect anyway.
- Added "send_mail_from" and replaced "send_mail_address" with "send_mail_to", to ensure nothing can go wrong.
- Fixed a little bit of help layout.
- Fixed a tiny T_ELSEIF issue.

*sighs* that's the reason why nobody uses this...

I want it to be a new developing platform for SMF...
