UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 6 V6 Modifications Forum Design Integration Finished-[6.5.1] Integrated Index Page (IIP) 6.5

IIP v6.5
========

Well, a bit confused as to why the side bar listed on my Main Index page is not using the correct full link to the links on my Menu Pal.

On the Menu Pal it lists the following links for the users:

Entrance
View Polls
Profile Index
Call Us Home!
Add to Favorites!
Recommend Us!

When a user clicks on any one of these (except Add to Favorites!) the link starts out correct in taking the user to my domain name....but then it cuts out the subdirectory of where my threads is located.

For instance, "View Polls" links out to:
http://www.f-bodyhideout.com/index.php?Cat=0&paction=polls
However, it should be linking out to:
http://www.f-bodyhideout.com/ubbthreads/index.php?Cat=0&paction=polls

Can anyone help me set this correctly?

Thank you,
Gonzo

okay your IIP index is INSIDE your ubbthreads directory?

then you will need to find in menupal.php

if (!(eregi("index.php",$phpSelf))) {
$palurl = "{$config['homeurl']}/index.php";
}
else {
$palurl = $phpSelf;
}


and change it to

if (!(eregi("index.php",$phpSelf))) {
$palurl = "{$config['homeurl']}/ubbthreads/index.php";
}
else {
$palurl = $phpSelf;
}

Worked like a charm! Thank you scroungr.

For some reason, I cannot get the Events Pal to show up on my index page.

I've reviewed and confirmed all the settings under Event Mgmt, and I've set the Events Pal option, and triple-checked that it's not using the same order number as something else in the same column. I've tried it under all three columns - I'll submit the changes, and then IIP refreshes, and it repeatedly shows the Events Pal as turned off, and it never displays on the index.

This is IIP 6.5 with UBB.Threads 6.5.1.

sounds like a problem with the eventpal variable in the index file If I get a chance I will check.. in the meantime uyou can change it in the configpal.inc.php

okay found the issue.. download the new zip and just put the editconfigpal.php, doeditconfigpal.php and editconfigpal.tmpl in the pals directory to replace the ones there... had CurrentEvents in too many spots

grazi for the bugfixes

Thanks for the fixes. This one was driving me nuts.

I seem to have a problem in that even if I set my current threads to display to say 20, it will only display a max of 5.

Is this right?

Also, it would be great if there was a pal that listed a set of current posts in specific forums, so you had a pal that had say 3 blocks of current threads for 3 specific forums.

It seems this information is valid as of when uo activate it.. its growing as more posts are made.. so that would explain that one!

cool..

Do you think its possible to add the 2nd part of my note? Would be really useful.

i.e

You have 5 forums, and you want to list in a single pal window the latest titles only of the say last 5 posts of each forum, seperated by a line ?

well seeing as threads is at end of life.. and I don't think I will be messing with this anymore than it has been.. I didn't create it.. I updated it to use with 6.5 so if you would like to commission someone I am sure someone can... but otherwise..

Good point.

I had noticed that my pals were not using the spider non friendly files, so I just copied them across, but the currentthreadspal file doesnt appear to be working.. now I just have 5 dots instead of thread titles.. ?

can your server handle spider friendly? and does the nonspider friendly one work?

Sorry I have it the wrong way around.

The spiderfriendly one displayed the information properly but the links didn't work.

Its the unfriendly one that doesnt work. It works for the hot topics and top rated ones ok.. jsut not this one.

I have a problem with the top posters.

It is displaying me with 953 posts on the IIP when on threads I have 1039. All boards are unticked so it should be picking up from all of them and cache days is set to 0 to disable.

I have changed to non spider files to fix the click to user profile.


edit, I had to remove the pic as you could not see anything to read.

whats your U_TotalPosts in your w3t_Users table say?

It matches the post count in threads
I am on 2041 in U_Totalposts and on threads, but 955 on IIP. So both are increasing

well heres the complete query

$query = "
SELECT COUNT(*) as total,t1.B_PosterId,t2.U_Username
FROM {$config['tbprefix']}Posts AS t1,
{$config['tbprefix']}Users AS t2
WHERE t1.B_PosterId = t2.U_Number
AND t2.U_Number > 1
$dayssearchlimit
$limit
GROUP BY B_PosterId ORDER BY total DESC
LIMIT 0,$topposters
";
$sth = $dbh -> do_query($query,__LINE__,__FILE__);


and looking at that there must be more threads than what your couning.. and there is no way to disbale that per board basis...so am wondering run this query and see what you come up with

SELECT COUNT(*) as total,t1.B_PosterId,t2.U_Username
FROM w3t_Posts AS t1, w3t_Users AS t2
WHERE t1.B_PosterId = t2.U_Number AND t2.U_Number = '<number of the user>'
GROUP BY B_PosterId ORDER BY total DESC

Thanks scroungr

I will run a backup when I get home and let this one rip

I have run that and it came back with no results and the post are not correct still

you did change <number of the user> to the user id of that user right?

Yep, (2), number 2, me

you sure you entered it right? cause I just did it on my board and got total=3268, B_PosterId = 2, U_Username = Couchtomatoe...

barring doing it myself on your site.. I don;t know.. if you want me to check send me a PM with an Admin account for your threads so I can run the query

I kept one of the < in still

Anyways, it has said that I have 962 posts the same as on IIP so that means why does my profile in threads say I have 1048 ???

Thanks again for your help scroungr

no idea but that query is almost fool proof I said ALMOST..

Any update on why I am getting no current threads appearing?

MattUK run this in a sql session and see what you get

SELECT B_Number,B_Posted,B_Last_Post,B_Subject,B_Main,B_Replies,B_Counter,B_Board
FROM w3t_Posts
WHERE B_Number = B_Main
AND B_Approved = 'yes'
ORDER BY B_Posted DESC

Hi,

This comes back with 43 records..

The Upcoming Events PAL box is listing events there one day prior to what they should be. For example, there are two posts entered as Calendar events for June 15th - they show up properly on the calendar - both the PAL Calendar box and the full .threads Calendar, but the Upcoming Events is listing them for the 14th.

question: is there a way for the NEWS pal to display the most recent posts, as opposed to the most recent threads?

anything is possible.. you just need to rewrite the pal.

ha! that is not possible

I'm currently having this same issue. I keep editing the initial Setup to read Yes, but still see:
Sorry But Front Entrance is currently down for maintenance.

The Yes defaults back to No. I have also tried to set up page Layout and it reverts as well.

editconfigpal.php I set to 666, won't save, tried 777, still no save.

It's a fresh, clean install of threads 6.5 and IIP 6.5

What am I missing?

Scroungr - anything on this problem?

which events are they? are they holidays? public days? private days? entered through a forum post or directly thru the calendar? birthdays? the eventspal was kindof involved so I would need more info.. do a database dive and tell me what the record of one of the misappropiated dates looks like so I have more to go on.

Thanks...i've been wondering about that EventsPal issue... all fixed now.

ok, i'm tryin here, so go slow with me ...

i'm assuming the information i need to tweak is in here:



and somehow alter the "ORDER BY t1.B_Posted DESC" line ...?

... i think?
