UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 6 V6 Modifications Forum Design Integration IIP6.5 "Recommend Us" not working

Ok, I have IIP6.5 running under Threads 6.5 and so far most things seem to be working with one possibility:
When I click the "Recommend Us" link in the Menu Box, my index page just refreshes and only shows the Pal boxes on the left side. No pop up or anything else where I would put in an email address to send to someone. I'm sure its some small thing I overlooked, but darned if I can figure out what. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Basil

see if in your recommendedpal.php file you have the following

// load variables
require("../includes/main.inc.php");
require("$thispath/pals/languages/{$myprefs['language']}/genericpal.php");
require("$thispath/includes/configpal.inc.php");
$html = new html;



if so remove those lines and retry it.. then tell me if on front page or sidebar

We're getting close. This time the recommend box came up in the center (above all other PAL boxes). I filled it out with a test (one of my alternate email addys) and clicked send and got this:



Now what? (And thanks!)
Basil

whats your line 100 of the recommenduspal.php say?

I just commented out the referrer check (these were the lines causing the break), and am waiting to see if I get my own email back.

// if (!$config['disablerefer']) {
// $html -> check_refer($Cat);
// }

I could have sworn I already posted a reply to your question, but I guess I didn't so I will now. Lines 99,100 and 101 are:

99>> if (!$config['disablerefer']) {
100>> $html -> check_refer($Cat);
101>> }

try what medar stated.. comment out the referer check

Not too deep into this, I can only access certain stuff from work.

However, I received a blank email when I tested this out just now. Will see if I can tinker tonight a bit.

And scroungr - if I have not said it before, I totally dig the IIP Control Panel integration!

Okay I "think" I have this fixed and need some testers.. can someone test the recommenduspal.php script here for IIP 6.5.. much appreciated...

That works! One small nit though. On the form it asks for "Your Email" (I presume th eemail of the person sending the recommendation goes here) but it doesn't seem to do anything with that field? I entered a bogus email as "Your Email" and then sent it to myself but when I received the recommend email from the system it did not include what I had put in the "Your Email" field. Instead, it put in the email address I use for [][email protected][/]

it works, but not perfect to me. The generated eMail looks like this (I work on german translation for IIP):

Hallo <<FRIENDNAMES>>,

you may need to fix the other language genricpal.php copy the english one to the selected language and change the values. I don;t know any other languages than American so thats the one I made sure is updated...

actually it gets sent out from the admin but the message should include thesenders email in the body?

found my bug in the translation. My fault. I is not FRIENDNAMEs, should be FRIENDNAME and now this work. Sorry.
