Membergroup Color Legend

[JayBachatero]

Nope.  I suggest you ask Oldiesmann though.  He was the one that provided the code I just turned it into a mod.

[Dannii]

Coolness. I shall ask him.

I'd like to incorporate this, and then add links to the pages of my mod which will soon have public descriptions of the groups. So in your example, you'd see "[Lead Mod Developer]", clicking it will take you to that group's page, where there could be a brief (or lengthy) description saying what they do and how to contact them for example.

I am getting the following error code generated for every visitor when they hit the index.php page.

Code Select Expand

8: Undefined index: enableMCL
File: /var/www/html/forum/smf1/Themes/default/BoardIndex.template.php (eval?)
Line: 375

The section that this occurs in is:

Code Select Expand

// "Users online" - in order of activity.
echo '
<tr>
<td class="catbg" colspan="2">', $txt[158], '</td>
</tr><tr>
<td class="windowbg" width="20" valign="middle" align="center">

</td>
<td class="windowbg2" width="100%">';

if ($modSettings['enableMCL'])
        {
        foreach($context['online_groups'] AS $group)
        {
            if(!empty($group['color']) && $group['color'] != '')
                    echo '[<span style="color:' . $group['color'] . '">' . $group['name'] . '</span>] ';
        }
            echo '<br />';
        }

if ($context['show_who'])
echo '
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=who">';

echo $context['num_guests'], ' ', $context['num_guests'] == 1 ? $txt['guest'] : $txt['guests'], ', ' . $context['num_users_online'], ' ', $context['num_users_online'] == 1 ? $txt['user'] : $txt['users'];



I have the latest version of the mod "Membergroup Color Legend" installed on a RC1 forum.   Other than the error being generated the site works fine and the colors show up for the various member groups.

Thanks,

Ok it seems like its adding this line wrong.  I will have to update this mod soon.  I might just update in in a few and have it out by tonight.  Just add this line to Themes/default/Help.english.php before ?>

Code Select Expand

$helptxt['enableMCL'] = 'Show a legend with the members position and color ex. [Administrator], [Newbie] and so on.';

That should fix it.

[jsdoyle]

Themes/default/Languages/Help.english.php already has this added.

Is there a different file?

Thanks!

[JayBachatero]

Ok I gave you the wrong line.  It's

Code Select Expand

$txt['enableMCL'] = 'Enable Membergroup Color Legend in board index';add it before ?> on $themedir/languages/ModSettings.english.php

What I think happened you might have updated or installed a mod that provides its own ModSettings.english.php file and that line was removed.

[jsdoyle]

Nope.  That's there too!   

Maybe I should uninstall and then reinstall?  Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

[JayBachatero]

Run this querry in phpmyadmin so it will return a more descriptive message.  It will change eval() to require()

Code Select Expand


INSERT INTO smf_settings VALUES ('disableTemplateEval', '1');

What message do you get after you changed that?

[jsdoyle]

Okay, I'll have to do that later this evening.  Can't access the phpMyAdmin from work.

I'll let you know later.

Thanks,

Scott

[JayBachatero]

I just went to your website and I didn't see it there.  Is it by anychance enabled?
Admin > Features and options > Enable Membergroup Color Legend in board index

[jsdoyle]

I am such a dumb a$$.  At least now you know what error is generated when someone doesn't enable the feature!

Sorry to waste your time!

It is working and the error log looks clean.

[JayBachatero]

Ok this is something that I will take a look at.  It is not supposed to spit an error.  I have an idea of what is causing this.

SMF has a built in feature that when you add a permission or something to that matter it will aadd the info to the correct table in the database.  Since it was not enabled it didn't have information on whether it was on or off since it didn't have a row in the database.  I will make a query that will add this automatically.

Thanks for helping me spot this issue out.

[eriktm]

The message I got is: The file is not valid or corrupt

WHAT SHALL I DO???

Please; help me!

[JayBachatero]

What version of SMF are you using?

[eriktm]

version 1.0.5

[JayBachatero]

version 1.0.5

This mod is for 1.1 and above you can do this here to install it manually.
Small thing but?

[pcigre]

I have 1.1 RC1 and instalation was error free, and I enable it but it still doesnt show it on index... Any solution?
