What I did on the SQL for the install (used my test board first) to keep all the current user settings and not the red boxed in colored names is the following SQL:

Code: Select all

ALTER TABLE phpbb_users ADD style_color varchar(255) NOT NULL default 'normal';
ALTER TABLE phpbb_users ADD style_fontweight varchar(255) NOT NULL default 'bold';
ALTER TABLE phpbb_users ADD style_fontstyle varchar(255) NOT NULL default 'normal';
ALTER TABLE phpbb_users ADD style_background varchar(255) NOT NULL default 'transparent';
ALTER TABLE phpbb_users ADD style_decoration varchar(255) NOT NULL default 'none';
ALTER TABLE phpbb_users ADD style_border varchar(255) NOT NULL default '1px solid normal';

One issue I am having with it though, is when the user submits the changes they want, it does not work, but if they return to the profile page and hit submit again, it works the second time.

Not sure what would be causing that. The board is 3.0.4 and I used AUTOMOD to install it. It seems to have installed just fine and is functioning as it should otherwise.

Could someone please tell me how i can make the usernames shown in the Visitors Today Mod as well as regular, permanent links manually added to one of the HTML documents also get the colours from this mod?

Much appreciated!

I noticed this with 3.0.4 more than other versions for whatever reason.
Did you clear the cached after you installed it?

Of course. Like I said, it works, I just get that anomaly occurring.

Hi im trying to add this mod but i dont use prosilver so im assuming i substitute this with the style that i am using is that correct because in the styles template that i do use i cannot find the part posted below or do i still make the changes to the prosilver template.

Code: Select all

<dl>
    <dt><label for="interests">{L_INTERESTS}:</label></dt>
    <dd><textarea name="interests" id="interests" class="inputbox" rows="3" cols="30">{INTERESTS}</textarea></dd>
</dl>
Do you need anymore info than that? thanks

Have you went into the ACP and set permissions for it so that people can use it?

Image

The instructions say:
(In the admin panel, the permission is in the user overview, and for the user to change the color, it's in the main profile section (where you can change interests))
But this is inaccurate, you need to enable the permission under Users & Groups > Groups > Group permissions. Click the ADVANCED link for whichever group to see the setting

Yeah, I'm sorry about that. That instruction was accurate for the first version of my mod, I moved it to use normal permissions for the next, the description was never updated.

I've noticed it just now on a board I installed it on for someone. Am I right in saying that once you change it, if you even go to the page to change it again (but don't do it), simply loading the page will make it update?

What style do you use? If it's subsilver based, I included a separate install file for that.
Otherwise, post the style and I'll see if I can help.

What's happening is, the user goes to the control panel, sets the changes they want, hits SUBMIT and then clicks the "RETURN TO USER CONTROL PANEL" or whatever link, and their name is still the same, but if they click submit one more time, it will then change.

It doesn't do it ALL the time, just every so often.

I know, I'm asking next time you see it happen, go to the profile page, but DON'T hit submit, instead, just click the profile link again. Does that still fix it?

Negative.

Tried it on LOCALHOST on a vanilla install OF 3.0.4 (Using AUTOMOD), same issue.

If this helps... I'm noticing that this error doesn't occur on the subsilver2 templates (least it hasn't for me).

Ok, here's something to test, you said when you hit submit the second time, the change takes.
What happens if you change the color then and hit submit.

Does it do the first change or the second?

(I'm almost positive that this is due to where I destroy the cache)

I'll keep on the lookout and see, it isn't doing it now, and yes that makes sense. Theory: On initial use it will happen, on subsequent uses, it doesn't. I can replicate the problem on a vanilla install, use the board for a while, go back and try again, no problems. I'm not gonna wipe out and reinstall a bunch of time to test that theory.. perhaps deleting the cached files might replicate it.
