My Package Server is now working...

[Grudge]

Hey,

This thread is used to keep people updated with what is on my package server. I want to first stress that The Packager Manager is still being developed - and is NOT done!. As such you may have problems getting MOD's to install etc. If this is the case please feed back your problems in this thread and don't start others about it. Also - before attempting to install a MOD from the package server please read the guidelines at the bottom of this post for "setting up" your forum to stand the best chance of installing successfully.

New Mods added to my package server recently:
Buddy List - Allows you to add members as "buddies", showing them online easily and making it easy to PM them.
Gender based membergroups - allow you to specify male AND female versions of each membergroup
Redirection boards - allowing you to make a board redirect to any url when clicked
Post Moderation - Moderate either ALL posts or on a member by member basis before they appear (BETA!)

Existing Mods on the package server
Topic Solved
Shoutbox (You'll need to edit your template manually for it to appear)
Custom Message Icons (Including adding icons, making radio selectable, adding to quick reply)
Visual Warning Mod Including Post Moderation
Pie Chart options on polls
Coloured Jumpbox
Redirection Boards.

Please try these out and let me know how you get on. I love to hear both good and bad experiences. Try to keep all comments in this thread as I check it regularly. Also let me know of any bugs or problems as these are easily fixed. Also - before posting about a problem read the posts in this thread incase I have already answered it!


Now onto setting up the packager manager!
As mentioned above the package manager is still in development so things won't necessarily go smoothly first time. Recent additions to the package manager have meant that on some servers chmod'ing directories may be a thing of the past - however - it is safer to do so anyway. Basically, before the package manager is used you should CHMOD certain files and directories to have permissions 777 (read, write and execute for all). This can be done with any FTP client - usually by right clicking on the files you wish to change permissions to. Below is a list of files I believe you should chmod to 777. If you wish you only need to chmod the Packages directory and any file being changed by a certain package - however, you can't go far wrong by doing them all at once!

CHMOD these directories:
index.php
SSI.php
/Packages - directory and all files inside it
/Sources - directory and all files inside it
/Themes - directory and ALL sub directories
/Themes/default - directory and ALL files inside
/Themes/default/languages - directory and ALL files inside
/Themes/default/images - directory and ALL directories inside

If you do these you should be ready to go!

What do I do when I upgrade?
When you upgrade to the next version of SMF you will most likely lose all the MODs you have installed - note you DON'T lose the data the MOD's stored. When upgrading if you desperatly need a MOD I would wait until I have updated the MOD to the next version (normally within a few days of release) before upgrading. If it is a security fix then that takes priority! Before doing an upgrade I recommend you uninstall all the MOD's you had installed previously and then reinstall new versions afterwards.

What if things go wrong?
If the worst comes to the worst and a MOD breaks your forum. The worst you will have to do is reload files from the original distribution. If this happens reload the entire contents of the Sources and Themes directory - except style.css and any templates you have manually changed (normally index.template.php)

Hopefully this will help everyone use this great feature of SMF. I'll reitterate that this isn't a completed feature so don't get too worked up if it doesn't work for you - be patient! The MOD site will be up shortly so anyone who cannot use the package manager yet will soon be able to get the MOD's via the MOD site.

Cheers,
Grudge

They are now completly uninstallable so removing them is easy.

I think you meant isint easy

I tried them, only the warning thingy worked at first glance, the topic checked thingy didnt work or maybe I checked in the wrong area...

But good job...

[Winters]

All the changes are always made to the default template, and all my mods are english only although I would happily add other language support if I had translations!

I'm not yet familiar with the template system, so my question may be dumb: Does this mean, the mod will not work with the converted template?

[Zippo]

I failed to chmod sources/Subs_Package.php and recieved a chmod error.  After chmoding it to 777 I now recieve this error:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare smfshout() in /home/sites/site99/web/body/Sources/Subs.php on line 1724

Any ideas?

[Grudge]

Winters, the mod should work fine on a converted template. Basically, if someone made a massive theme changing all the templates then it would likely cause trouble, but just changes in index.template.php should be fine.

Zippo, open up Subs.php, skip to the VERY botton and you'll most likely see two functions called smfshout(). Delete one of them

Lamper, there's no reason why it shouldn't work assuming you have beta 4.1 and have chmod'd the files that it changes. chmod is VERY important, and needs to be done on uninstall too

[Winters]

Thanks. Uhm, is it normal that I only see "yabbse"-Links in my package manager?

[Grudge]

What do you mean? I don't see why you would see YaBB SE stuff. Do you mean in the list of servers? If you upgraded maybe the new server list isn't there. If not you can add my server as:
http://www.mymods.co.uk/Packages

[Zippo]

Zippo, open up Subs.php, skip to the VERY botton and you'll most likely see two functions called smfshout(). Delete one of them

There was two, deleted one and recieve this:

Parse error: parse error in /home/sites/site99/web/body/Sources/Subs.php on line 1496

Hey,

Didn't really know where to post this but anyway... as people will know there is a package server option in the admin center. If you go there and select my package server you'll see a list of MOD's for SMF that I have done, namely:
Topic Solved
Shoutbox (You'll need to edit your template manually for it to appear)
Custom Message Icons (Including adding icons, making radio selectable, adding to quick reply)
Visual Warning Mod Including Post Moderation
Pie Chart options on polls
Coloured Jumpbox
and a *real* beta version of an instant message centre mod. (Most likely buggy).

I'd appreciate it if people would try these out. They are now completly uninstallable so removing them is easy. Obviously they are still beta mod's but they should work but I take no responsibility if they don't. We will have a mod site up soonish but until then if you want to post any problems here I'll try answer them.

Now - if you have any problems using the package manager it is most likely due to the fact that files need chmod'ing to 777, so see how it goes. All the changes are always made to the default template, and all my mods are english only although I would happily add other language support if I had translations!

Thanks a lot,
Grudge

Note to moderators: If this isn't the place for this feel free to move it elsewhere!

it is not working i get error's 

[Grudge]

Zippo,

Can you post line 1490-1500 so I can see what the problem is. You didn't delete the ?> at the end of the file did you?

de3jeh,

You need to elaborate! Are you using a UNMODIFIED beta 4.1 at the moment?

[de3jeh]

de3jeh,

You need to elaborate! Are you using a UNMODIFIED beta 4.1 at the moment?

yes i am using a UNMODIFIED beta 4.1

what do i have to change to make it work ?

thanx in advance

[Grudge]

I can't help you if you do not tell me what the error is!! I saw your post in another thread and replied to it about some errors you got trying to install one of the mods. Have you chmod'd the files correctly? You need to chmod your directories (Sources, Theme/default, images and languages) and any files that will be modified to 777.

[de3jeh]

I can dowload it that is not a problem

but if i want to install it it depend's on whitch mod then i get an error like this

[de3jeh]

were do i have to change this ??

[Grudge]

Zippo,

Is this before or after adding the smfshout function into the template? If it is before then maybe somehow Subs.php got messed up. Get a fresh Subs.php from the SMF package and manually add:

Code Select Expand


function smfshout() {

global $sourcedir;
include_once("$sourcedir/shout.php");
$shouts = shout_reader();
$shouts .= shout_form();
print $shouts;
}


to the bottom of it (assuming you have no others mods installed).

If this is AFTER adding it to the template please show me how you added it.

Cheers,
Grudge

[de3jeh]

but what do i wrong

[Grudge]

de3jeh, the reason I didn't annswer you is I'm not sure. Hopefully Unknown will see this and help me out. It's not a problem with the MOD it still looks like a chmod problem but if have taken every file to 777 I can't see what the problem would be. Hopefully you'll get an answer soon!

[de3jeh]

Okay i will w8 thanx m8

[[Unknown]]

The package manager really isn't ready for use yet.

De3jeh, the following are not 777:
/home/internet/public_html/Themes/default
/home/internet/public_html/Themes/default/images
/home/internet/public_html/Themes/default/languages/
/home/internet/public_html
/home/internet/public_html/Packages/installed.list

Please chmod them so that they are writable.
