Character Names and Alts

[necranom]

Link to Mod

This mod adds the ability for users to specify their main character name and up to 4 alt names in their profile.  This is a general add on that will work great on any gaming site as it is not game specific. (Though it was written for a WOW site)

This mod is based on the Socom 1.1.0 mod written by GC

Wierd. I am getting an error message. The error is as follows.

2: OpenDir: No such file or directory (errno 2)
File: /path/to/httpdocs/dod/forums/Sources/Subs-Package.php
Line: 949

any ideas what may be going on?

To avoid Undefined index errors filling up your forum error log, you might want to change

Code Select Expand

// WOW Names
if ($message['member']['options']['main_name'] != '')
echo '
', $txt['main_name'],' : ', $message['member']['options']['main_name'], '<br />';

if ($message['member']['options']['alt1_name'] != '')
echo '
', $txt['alt1_name'],' : ', $message['member']['options']['alt1_name'], '<br />';

if ($message['member']['options']['alt2_name'] != '')
echo '
', $txt['alt2_name'],' : ', $message['member']['options']['alt2_name'], '<br />';
if ($message['member']['options']['alt3_name'] != '')
echo '
', $txt['alt3_name'],' : ', $message['member']['options']['alt3_name'], '<br />';
if ($message['member']['options']['alt4_name'] != '')
echo '
', $txt['alt4_name'],' : ', $message['member']['options']['alt4_name'], '<br />';

Change it to

Code Select Expand

// WOW Names
if (!empty($message['member']['options']['main_name']))
echo '
', $txt['main_name'],' : ', $message['member']['options']['main_name'], '<br />';

if (!empty($message['member']['options']['alt1_name']))
echo '
', $txt['alt1_name'],' : ', $message['member']['options']['alt1_name'], '<br />';

if (!empty($message['member']['options']['alt2_name']))
echo '
', $txt['alt2_name'],' : ', $message['member']['options']['alt2_name'], '<br />';
if (!empty($message['member']['options']['alt3_name']))
echo '
', $txt['alt3_name'],' : ', $message['member']['options']['alt3_name'], '<br />';
if (!empty($message['member']['options']['alt4_name']))
echo '
', $txt['alt4_name'],' : ', $message['member']['options']['alt4_name'], '<br />';

Is there any chance that this will work with 1.0.7?

[TRANCEMANIAC]

Hello friends,

please excuse, if my english is not so good, im german but i'll try my best.

I've installed the mod "WoW Itemstats" and the theme "WoW-DK", so far so good.
But i have no chance to install the "Character Names and Alts" mod.

I had a look into the error log, but nothing there.

When i try to install the mod i get only the massage (i try to translate, curse i' using the german language):
"Sorry but you can't upload / install the modification, curse the paket directory or data in there are not rewriteable."

I thinked "ha, i'm not stupid!", and i set the directories and the datas all to 777 for a tryout. - Nope, it won't work. 


Hope you can help me.

Thanks,
TRANCEMANIAC

Any plans to update this to SMF 1.1 RC3?

Where is this MOD different from "custom profile fields" mod? Can you select which name to present in which board? 

[GJSchaller]

Hello!  I was using this mod with 1.1 RC2, and it was wonderful - any chance of seeing it updated for 1.1 an 1.1.1?  I would manually tweak it, but the zip file also seems to be gone.

Edit: It's there, I just missed it on my desktop - never saw my browser download it. 

Thank you!

[gamerxgirl]

I too am hoping to see this mod updated, or would like to know if it's working with 1.1.1, I guess in the meantime I shall try it out and see for myself.

[URPG]

Jup me too... starting an online gaming section on my site, as soon as some working dice bot is out there too.

[Brian Lacy]

Hey, I just found this Mod and installed it, 'cause it sounds like nearly exactly what I'm looking for... however I don't seem to be able to use it for any useful purpose. In my profile I can specify a Main Character name and four Alternates, but how do I actually use this in Posting?

Does it still not work with 1.1.1? Or am I just totally missing the point of this Mod??

[bulkhogan]

I have installed this but can not find where i can set my characters or anything. I had no errors on install

[RiderRaghav]

Is there any chance of it working on smf 1.1.3 ...
It'll be very helpful to me coz I'm making a gaming clan website ...


Thanks in advance

this mod works in 1.1.3... i have been using it since the update was released.

I am getting the mod to work when I access my profile but when I post on the forum, the names do not show up under my SN.  IS this how it was designed, or what am I doing wrong?  Do I have to edit something in each forum template?


EDIT:  It does show up in posts when using the default SMF theme.  What do I have to edit to make it appear in the other themes?

[0zzi]

is there any chance that this mod could be updated with more alts because i have a gaming site with member's that play all types of games mostly MMORPG's and most mmorpgs can have have a few  alt's on different server. 

[AT-HE]

is there any online demo to view it ?

[PAPABEAR]

Anybody know if this works for 1.1.5?

[e3jeremey]

sadly I dont think it works for 1.1.5 Papa I just installed it on my forums and it does not show up anywhere at all.

[PAPABEAR]

thanks man.
