at least: you need the language strings this section

I'm guessing I have to enter the URLs myself in that last code block you put?

[Inti31]

no, the urls you have to set in the admin area http:\\yourforum.url\index.php?action=admin;area=modsettings;sa=custombuttons;

Is there any upgrade in the pipeline for SMF2.0.2

I used this mod before upgrading, was very useful.

Thanks for any replies

No need to wait.

The mod works perfectly on 2.0.2

Have a look @ the Mod Emulate link in my signature.

[ɔɔɔɔɔɔuɥoɾ]

This is why I keep my mods script basic, instead of advanced code which nobody can understand, its simple code, it may be alot of code, but the simplicity of it makes it work even when other things around it change.

[Matthew K.]

What? Sorry, but that doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

You can write advanced code that hooks into SMF using various hacking methods.

[ɔɔɔɔɔɔuɥoɾ]

I mean the PHP functions I use do not really require anything from SMF coding, so when things change in new versions my mods should continue to work where other more advanced mods may fail when SMF is updated. My logic may not be perfect, I may not be correct, but I believe making code as simple as possible is best for any mod.

[Matthew K.]

I missunderstood your previous post then

Typical kid.

Thankyou for the info, I wasn't aware of that feature.

Tried it & unfortunately it came up with an error on install using the emulator also.

Oh well, will have to wait for the update I guess.

Thanks

[Inti31]

i don't think you will see an update because this mod works fine in 2.0.2

If it has worked for someone else using 2.02, then it should work for you, its likely because another mod you have has edited one of the hooks that this mod uses to add code after. I intentionally use hooks that should not ever be changed, thus making for zero errors, one of the mods you have installed may have changed one of those hooks, which errors are you getting, try again with NO emulation and post here which files are giving you the errors, expand the error files and check which edits are effected, then we can see where the modified hook is and see why its failing.

Gr8 mod, works fine in my 2.02. SMF..

Question: IS it possible to open (some) links in a new window?  And how will I do that?

[Inti31]

Hi!
This is not a big deal and easy to implement...

you need only that:

Code Select Expand

'target' => '_blank',

Example:
Have a look to /Sources/Subs.php to my 8th custom button code

Code Select Expand


            'custom8' => array(
                'title' => !empty ($modSettings['label_custombuttons_8']) ? $modSettings['label_custombuttons_8'] : $txt['cb_default_8'],
                'target' => '_blank',
                'href' => !empty ($modSettings['url_custombuttons_8']) ? $modSettings['url_custombuttons_8'] : $scripturl,
                'show' => $context['allow_custom_button8'] && !empty ($modSettings['enable_custombuttons_8']) ? true : false,
                'sub_buttons' => array(
                    'subbutton1' => array(
                        'title' => !empty ($modSettings['label_subcustombuttons8_1']) ? $modSettings['label_subcustombuttons8_1'] : '',
                        'target' => '_blank',
                        'href' => !empty ($modSettings['url_subcustombuttons8_1']) ? $modSettings['url_subcustombuttons8_1'] : $scripturl,
                        'show' => !empty ($modSettings['label_subcustombuttons8_1']) ? true : false
                        ),

That opens the main link in a new window, also the first subbutton...

[usa4all]

That will do it!

Tx!!

[ɔɔɔɔɔɔuɥoɾ]

Just remember to restore to stock coding 1st if you decide to uninstall the mod, or else it will fail to uninstall, because of the edit.

This should have been implemented, but I just do not have the time.

[Kaitlyn]

how do I hide these buttons from guests only visible if your logged into our forum

[Inti31]

in the permission area you've to uncheck the buttons should not be visible for guest.
