Is there any information on how this mod works as I have installed it only to find the link to the example doesnt work

[Skipdawg]

Can you show us a demo?

[jerm]

the example is in ssi_examples.php when you install the mod.
i dont have a forum up and running with it installed on though.
what it does is return a topic of your choosing, all you do is put ssi_grabMessage(1). where 1 is the ID of the topic

An example of how it could be used - http://www.redandwhitekop.com/article.php?id=2004216

I see a very large website  but where is the example of the function

Code Select Expand

Being a reaL NEWBIE I am not even sure what questions to ask

[Ben_S]

There is some discussion on it @ http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=6883.0 (ignore download links etc as it is the same as the download here)

I'm using this mod. Working fine, but i want to link messages from a private board. How can i do this so that guests can see it?

[jerm]

users can only see topics that they have access to.

[NaNx]

I know. Is there a way around this?
Without giving them access to that board

[jerm]

not that i know of

[NaNx]

Ok then, thanks. I'm sure there is a way but it's probably complex so nevermind about it.

[Harro]

I'm having a problem with this.
I want to return the value of this as an array, but it doesn't seem to return anything.
Am calling it like this:

Code Select Expand

$arrMessage = ssi_grabMessage($messageID, 'array');

Already verified that $messageID is not null.

And then display it like this:

Code Select Expand

echo '<b> '. $arrMessage['subject'] .'</b>';
But nothing is displayed...

I just upgraded to RC3, and tried to load the grabMessage Mod.  It didn't change the SSI.php file, so I manually added the code from the xml file.
I want to use the function in an shtml file, but can't seem to get it to work.  I can get other includes to work, so it must either be my syntax, or grabMessage has an issue with RC3.
Can someone help?

The mod worked fine on RC3 until I upgraded to mySQL5.

Code Select Expand

File: /home/admin/domains/xxxx.net/public_html/talk/SSI.php
Line: 1676

Please help! My site lives for this mod.

[mark7144]

I fixed it.

Find:

Code Select Expand

FROM {$db_prefix}topics AS t, {$db_prefix}messages AS m, {$db_prefix}boards as b

Replace:

Code Select Expand

FROM ({$db_prefix}topics AS t, {$db_prefix}messages AS m, {$db_prefix}boards as b)

[Rasqual]

Can you refresh the package with mark's fix please?

[fir3x]

can someone give me guidance on how i can tweak this to ignore the member status, i wish to show it to all and not be restricted by forum permissions

[IchBin™]

Apologies, I didn't seem to get a notification for this post. Package is updated, and I'll look at the permission change you'd like and see what I can do.
