Version 2.3 --- is this one compatible with 1.1.8 yet? I already know how to change the package-xml file so that it will install/uninstall but are there any other changes needed to make it compatible with 1.1.8 other than that? The mod page says that this mod in general is now only compatible with 2.0 RC1 - whch is incorrect because I am currently using 2.3 on 1.1.5 so I just need to know of any other changes because I am moving to 1.1.8 tomorrow.

Thanks

Help, I intsalled this mod and now I am getting this error when anyone tries to view a forum topic, 1.1.8

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: is_limitedbykarma() in /nfs/c03/h03/mnt/52866/domains/bcfishingreports.com/html/forum/Sources/Display.php on line 915

Thanks in advance!

I'm getting the same exact error message. In my case, it's on line 917!

As part of trouble shooting, I uninstalled each and every single MOD that I ever had! No luck!

What puzzles me is how it installs (ver. 2.31 on SMF 1.18) without any error message or warning but once your forum gets screwed and you wanna uninstall it, then all hell breaks loose!I would put a warning that do not install this MOD if you have any kind of MOD installed or .... uninstalled!

Greg buddy, thanks for all your hard work though.

This function looks like it might be part of the Limit Karma Mod

Code Select Expand

'limitkarma' => is_LimitedByKarma($message['ID_MSG'], 'm'),

When I was researching the Karma mods I seem to recall in the topic that the Limit Karma mod author noted that mod was not compatible with this one, KDM.

YES, that's the one! I was just going to update my post which saw yours! Thank you.

NOW, I can live without KDM but certainly NOT without Limit Karma! In my book, Limit Karma is more critical.

But on the side note, I wonder why we love open source so much! If these 2 folks worked for a commercial company, they would be forced to get their codes to play nicely!   

There are probably thousands different MODS around here but less than 20 KARMA related. What would it take for either developers to do a little research before releasing their codes? AHA .... compiled ... let's ship it

We have low budgets.

If these 2 folks worked for a commercial company, they would be forced to get their codes to play nicely!

And we'd be forced to pay for it. I think you're being rather harsh on mod developers who've spent hours and hours working on mod code, and possibly time that they could have spent earning money doing something else with their time.

If two mods are incompatible, it means that they both alter the same blocks of code. Once one changes the block, then the other can no longer find the matching code to change. If every mod author had to read through all the thousands of mods to make them compatible with everything that could edit your Display.php file, nothing would get done at all.

It might not be difficult to get them working together if you edit manually and/or know a little php or are willing to learn. Share your fix and give a little something back to SMF. That's what open source is about.

Package choice is a matter of carefully reading the descriptions and support threads to work out what features mean the most to you and limit the mods you use accordingly.

Golden words, leah =)

Yes, Golden words, leah! Indeed!

Low budgets???!!!! HA! But, UNLIMITED RESOURCES worldwide! And, ONLY if / when the developer asks for assistance.

For heaven sake, read between the lines, leah. As I said ---> less than 20 KARMA related MODS do not require RE/viewing millions lines of codes!

I have already made up my mind, based on my clients' responses, this particular MOD would not be beneficial. However, at this time, my contribution is:

1) WARN others be careful not to screw up their systems

2) HELP the developer to understand he is responsible for his codes even though there is no one to fire him!

I am not harsh. It's just there is not enough time to be wasted.

Yes it fixed but..........when you give negative or positive karma, after you give the reason and press continue you get this error,

An Error Has Occurred!
Sorry, you have reached your maximum for adding karma to this Post/PM. 

it will still leave karma even though you get this message?? Any ideas??

Strange, this mod doesn't work, all it does is move the Info Center to the top of the forum...

i hope this hasn't been addressed yet, and if so, sorry.

when i install this mod, my "users online" area on the site index ends up being located immediately above the first category (the arena).  this happens whether the mod is actually enabled or not.

any ideas?  i've been looking for a mod that would remove anonymity from the karma system for a long time, and i'd love to be able to use this.

cheers.
