Karma Description Mod

[BelleLeDonna]

using SMF version 1.1.3

I've just installed this mod (ver 2.3) ... it first appeared all went well, however, when I go into the karma page in the ACP, there are new checkboxes, but the description for each line is blank.

please advise
Thanks ~ Belle

The same thing happened to me!

[Grek.Kamchatka]

What is default language of your forum??

[Chip103]

English,I already checked to see if it was English UKT Or whatever.

The mod, like almost all mods, only installs into the SMF Default theme so if you are using any other theme you will need to manually install into it.

Thank you for your replies ~

My forum is English - and the new option checkboxes show up, but not the descriptions preceding the checkboxes. (see attachment)

It's doing ^that^ in both the default theme as well as in the the one other theme I've installed and use for my forum default theme. (I haven't yet gone thru with the modparser to manually install it to the forum theme I've installed)

I found and read the topics you pointed to prior to any downloads .. but I'll re-read them to see if I missed any important steps.

I used the package installer thru the ACP, but I'll go thru the different steps with the modparser to see if it did everything in the default theme that it was supposed to have done.

I've attached a screenshot to show what it is doing. I used the screenshot from the mod page to read what each checkbox was supposed to be for to see if I could get any results even though the descriptions weren't showing up.


also, where would I be able to find what is supposed to be the output of this mod .. the karma log results?

Thanks for your assistance

Show your error log please

[BelleLeDonna]

that's the problem .. I'm not getting an error. at least not one that I've seen.

by the way, I did try to give karma to someone and got the page that (I'm assuming) is where you'd put the explanation, but the label/description was missing from there as well...entered an explanation - clicked on the unlabeled button there and the karma went thru as it's supposed to.

so the mod is working, sort of.

I've just gotten back from dinner, so I'll start going thru the modparser to see where the language codes are first and check back here in a bit.

I really appreciate your helping me with this.

[BelleLeDonna]

ok ..

I did all ^that^ .. does it matter that I don't have the word 'english' in some of those files?
for example, I have Admin.php - but NOT Admin.english.php
I have help.php - but NOT help.english.php, etc (as you have it in the above post).
I put those codes into the files that most closely resembled what you've posted


after doing that^ the karma part in ACP is still showing blank as before and now I am receiving this error at the top of each page:

Notice: Undefined index: lang_character_set in /home/bellel2/public_html/forums/Sources/Load.php on line 179

does that help narrow things down? and/or am I missing a language file altogether?

thanks ~ Belle

edited to add that the one theme I have installed is no longer working, I just get the above error on the page

[Grek.Kamchatka]

no, no, no... this is a source files with engine as far as i say you need other files - with language strings. They are placed in /Themes/default/languages
Delete all changes that you maded

[BelleLeDonna]

oops, sorry .. I don't know what I was thinking *blush*
I deleted my mistakes and went into the /default/languages folder and made the changes you posted.

I do NOT have a file index.english.php in there.

is that what is causing problems? where do I get it from?

huggs ~ Belle

[Grek.Kamchatka]

it's impossible...
but if you haven't any installed mods, try to upload all your forums files again


oh girls..... =)

[BelleLeDonna]

you're right, I was wrong... the index.english.php file was toward the bottom of the file list (because of lower case)

so now I feel like a total idiot LOL... however the changes still didn't work.

I've checked and double checked to be sure I cepy/pasted everything correctly.

before installing this mod, I did attempt to install the paypal donation mod - using the installer with the forum ACP - it's not working for me either (donation button/link not showing in menu bar and the donation area in the ACP isn't there as it should be). Getting that mod to work was to be my next task to tackle .... but my members were heckling me to do the karma options first. 

I'm sorry to be such a pain.

[Grek.Kamchatka]

I think you use another theme then default...... what did you have in /Themes directory?
                                                                                                                                  I must go. See you tomorrow

[BelleLeDonna]

in my themes directory I have babylon, classic, default and bright forest (the one theme I have installed and use as my forum default - the karma page shows the same way in that theme though as it does using the default theme, descriptions blanked out like in the acreenshot), there is also a file index.php in that directory

I have triple checked and the changes you indicated above were definately made to the default theme files. changes do not reflect in the default theme on the forum.

please let me know if you think of anything else ...
Thank you for working with me tonight, I am grateful to you for your assistance.

huggs ~ Belle

[BelleLeDonna]

I got it to work!!
I kept checking/double checking/triple and quadruple checking ... then I noticed there were english-utf8.php files in that directory too...
so I added one of the changes from above to one of the pages and lo and behold! it worked!!
so, I applied all ^those^ changes to the english-utf8.php and everything is working just as it's supposed to. it works with the bright forest theme as well, so I'm reeeally happy.

thank you again for your continued assistance tonight - I apologize for my girly goofs
This mod is just what I was needing and my members are going to be thrilled (I'll probably get a bunch of applauds from them for getting this applied to the forums) LOL

now I'm off to see if I can get the paypal donations mod to work using the same theory....

goodnight ~ Belle

[TrueSatan]

You might be best to go to ACP>Server Settings and switch your forum to English and not English utf8...this would save you having to do anythign to the English utf8 files. To make sure your members don't select English utf8 and override the forum default setting go to ACP>Features and Options>Basic Features and uncheck "Enable user-selectable language support" then save (bottom of the page.)

[BelleLeDonna]

I've done that now TrueSatan ... thanks

[Grek.Kamchatka]

TrueSatan, big thanks for your assistance.
