Random Pagan Verse

[Kindred]

I believe that the problem is indeed your portal mod...

The issue is that the portal mod assumes control of the "home" page....   and, in some cases, it appears that this assumption screws up several mods that target the same area or use that area of code to set themselves.

i.e. Every portal mod that I have tried (except ADK Portal) kills the ADK Blog mod
I know that the random verse mod works with SimplePortal and EZPortal...   I don't know about ADKPortal, PortaMX or Tiny Portal

Yes, the problem is indeed that the portal assumes control of the section where an action is not set. SimplePortal will have the same exact problem. The problem will show in at least SP, TP, and PMX from what I recall of how they work. 

I guess those portals are "crap" too? ...

Either way, this could be fixed in this mod if it was wrote using hooks. Wouldn't even require file edits if it did.

[Kindred]

Ummmm... You quoted me, but I never said that any portal was crap...

[IchBin™]

Yeah I should of hit return there eh? Wasn't directed at you.

[Deaks]

IchBin, bad news for you this mod works fine with SimplePortal or it did when I tested it.  So please chillax.

And I dont think all portals are crap ... just the ones you have touched

(Brad before you go cry the tongue is there to indicate a joke)

[IchBin™]

Actually no it doesn't work with simple portal. It has the same effect on SP that darkangel was indicating that it had on TP. I just tested SP, TP, and PortaMx. And the mod behaves the same on all of them as I mentioned it probably would. While the install problem was because of TP removing the comment, the problem with your quotes for this mod displaying is what I'm referring to.

If you'd like I can show you a way to code this so it would work on any site without having to worry about file edits.

please would save me alot of time and would hopefully solve this issue

Check it out Runic. This why hooks are so cool! No file edits required now. Credit goes to Emanuele for the cool do_hooks.php code though. The rest is just a matter of knowing what the hook does and how it's used.

Although I'm not sure if you intended the quotes to show on all pages, that's what it does for now. You can throw in some checks to avoid that if people want though. Anyway, here's the zip.

How change text from Havamal Verse ?

[DarkAngel612]

YES! It now shows on all pages which is ok and all I had to do was find the proper places to add the apostrophe's, additional breaks and give border/color of box/font size....you know just a few tweaks.

Thanks guys

How change text from Havamal Verse ?

Change it in the Themes/default/PaganVerse.english.php file.

[Deaks]

Thank you Brad I will update the mod shortly

kyhk: out of curiosity what do you feel needs changed in the Havamal, these are the english translations from the words of Odin (browsers wouldnt accept it written in runescript), so I am unsure why you would wish to insult Odin and change his words.

[Deaks]

The mod has been updated to include IchBins, and I do wish to thank him for doing this for me.

[IchBin™]

No problem Runic. It's not real complicated. So this should give you a glimpse into how useful hooks can me. And a reference for others to see too if they need to look at something using them.

[kyhk]

I added my own text in PaganVerse.english.php at Havamal please, but still showing original Havamal messages. what is wrong?

[Deaks]

<?php
//Havamal
