not without some rewritting of the newspal.php [/]
doh!
in other words, not easily then (?)
ill try to poke around in there, i guess ... why, i dunno
1) still can't figure out the post re-ordering in the news IIP. drivin me nuts
2)i've been using the custompal boxes, but have found them a lil tedious to update (i'm assuming they weren't really intended for frequent updates). so, i was wondering if there was a way to sorta make a NEWS option into a custom box.
essentially, i'd need to create a private forum that only i could see in the actual forum display page, but that everyone could see on the entrance page.
as if ubbdev.com only wanted their "announcements" on the entrance page, and NOT as part of the forum.
hit upon something today.. I have current threads in my left hand panel and although it only shows the subject title when someone creates say JACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it pushes it off the edge.. so what I did was
IIP displays things based on your groups/permissions. So, if you something is posted in a forum that only you have access to, then only you will be able to see it.
Errr I am getting the following errors on the index screen
Notice: Undefined variable: Cat in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\utstats\forum\index.php on line 66
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\utstats\forum\index.php:66) in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\utstats\forum\ubbt.inc.php on line 269
Any idea why I am getting this? I have tried many different installs and everytime I get these errors.. Running windows 2003/IIS6
Cause 2003 is picky and tempermental? Seriously no idea. Cat is created and posted in MANY places. And if it's NOT set it even sets itself in this line in index.php
A setting in the php.ini file, I turned it from off to on..
; Output buffering allows you to send header lines (including cookies) even ; after you send body content, at the price of slowing PHP's output layer a ; bit. You can enable output buffering during runtime by calling the output ; buffering functions. You can also enable output buffering for all files by ; setting this directive to On. If you wish to limit the size of the buffer ; to a certain size - you can use a maximum number of bytes instead of 'On', as ; a value for this directive (e.g., output_buffering=4096). output_buffering = On
Sounds like Admiral and Cro didn;t have the files setup right. Sounds like it either wasn;t pointing to where it was suppose to or you had something else afoot.
yes that was the case, now its working! But i have a problem with the Poll List feature: when i click on it(its in the menu) it should execute the "polllistpal.php" right? but i get this error:
Warning: Failed opening './/pals/polllistpal.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /homepages/4/d95285407/htdocs/ubbthreads/index.php on line 738
I dont think i have this file....what should i do? thanks
I have no idea what happened, but all of a sudden my shoutbox isn't working anymore. I didn't make any changes since installation a few weeks ago. The shoutbox appears, I see the messages, but as soon as I type something and press "shout", the palbox turns blank.
I re-uploaded all shout-files, but it didn't help.
try this.. go into admin and select the shoutbox forum and change your ADMIN access to read/write.. go to where the forum is in the main index and try posting there. if you can't, then it has nothing to do with this mod and you may have a corrupt db.. if you can then we will need to look further..
I did as you told me. I could see the shoutbox in my forums list and post in there. Also I deleted my shoutbox forum and recreated it... no change. I uploaded the original 4 shoutbox files from the pal's directory.. no change Very weird!
ok what "I" would do and yes I know it's dangerous if mishandled is close my boards.. go to admin and delete the shoutboxpal forum using the delete forum button, and then create a new one. thats me though. I just tested it and it does work.
[]Pasqualist said: I already deleted my shoutbox forum, but without closing the board... this didn't make any change. Why do you think it's dangerous ?! [/]
cause to me deleting anything is dangerous anyways so you deleted the forum and tried to make a new? Heres some things to try.. add the board again and add a shout.. then go and do what you did earlier and see if it was added and you just can't see it. If it was added and you just can't see the problem may be in shoutdisplaypal.php and I would start there with the queries and see why they are getting picked up. especially this query
$query = " SELECT t1.B_Number,t2.U_Username,t1.B_Posted,t1.B_Last_Post,t1.B_Subject,t1.B_Body,t1.B_Main,t1.B_PosterId,t1.B_IP FROM {$config['tbprefix']}Posts AS t1, {$config['tbprefix']}Users AS t2 WHERE t1.B_Board = '$shoutBoard_q' AND t1.B_Number = t1.B_Main AND t1.B_PosterId = t2.U_Number ORDER BY t1.B_Posted DESC LIMIT 0,$shoutLimit ";
if its not added I would look at shoutaddpal.php and start with the inserts there and see why it wasn't inserted.. especially this query
what I usually do is before the closing "; add som random text to fake it out so it gives me an error saying can't do query so and so which lists the query in its entirety and then I paste that query into my phpMyAdmin and see where it fails.
now let me explain a few things also.. saying it doesn't work isn't enough information. it is either not posting to it or not showing whats posted. so I had you go make it accessible to admins and you were able to post to it and see it in the forum so its good there its just the script now when you look at the shoutbox was what you say in the forum there? that could mean shoutdisplaypal.php was in err.. if you saw it then try and make a shout in the shoutbox and see if you can see it in the forum if you can't then that means shoutaddal.php could be in err... the last two pals, shoutdelpal.php just deletes a shout if your admin and shoutboxpal.php which assembles it all could also be in err but only in rare circumstances. I would mostly check the shoutadd and shoutdisplay pals.
why dyou dont you give me your shout box files here and i will delete mine and upload yours. If it works with you than ideally it should work with me. if this doesnt work, than i would say its a server error, maybe an ertror of Java configuration of some sort
no luck , guysssssssss help out here, MY MEMBERS ARE SHOUTING THEY WANT THE SHOUT BOX BACK. Get it, shouting, shout box . Seriously though, what is going on?
well without taking a look at it can't offer more then I have. if you would like me to take a look PM me your ftp info and i will set up an account you can make temp admin and I will look further into it.
I'm in with salim.... I tried the install exactly as suggested and never got the pal to work - ever... I've even taken the scripts apart from their STOCK format, to see if there was programmer error from before I received the files (FRESH DOWNLOAD)... still couldn't get it to work
I did my final cross checking between other sites successfully running the shout box and my site which was never able to get it running (always turns to a BLANK screen in the box window whenever a shout was entered)
either way - I'd be much interested to see how this all turns out...
From a programming history since 1988 and being quite fluent at HTML, PHP and SQL.... this problem has stumped me
thanks for any additional information posted... I truly appreciate all of your hard work on the creation of this PAL!!!
Is Infopop not bugging you about the missing copyright notice on your forums? I once just removed the infopop .gif but left the copyright notice, and they ddn't want to give me any support untill the .gif was restored. I did pay for the licence and member area access though.
It was up until a few days ago - I have been moving things around (notice the duplicate "TOP" buttons when reading a thread in FLAT MODE). The copyright notice is about to go back in its original location @ the footer again within a day or so
I am very proud of Infopop and the service they have provided to me over the past 4 years of being with them
PS - I read my PM often too... Staying on-topic is a good thing
izzit possible to integrate any one of the pal boxes to the actual forum pages? like, say, to include the "news" pal into every page's header, for example?
you could but you will need to look and see what variables are set in the configpal.php and set it in the newspal.php and then include it into the forum header and then you will lose the ability to cache the box unless ya write some code. but it is doable.
Is there anyway I can prevent this url? /index.php?Cat=0&paction=attachments - Being a site where certain groups and forums get permissions to download, this is a wide open hole. I realize I can't completely prevent this in other ways but I would like to close this up if possible.
