[ABD] Custom Title MOD

Post by Aexoden »

MOD Title: Custom Title MOD
MOD Description: Adds a custom title field to a user's profile. phpBB 3.0.x version of the popular 2.0.x MOD.
MOD Version: 2.0.0-rc1

MOD Download: http://www.aexoden.com/projects/custom- ... .0-rc1.zip

This is almost a straight port of the phpBB 2.0.x version of the MOD. There is really only one major change in functionality: Instead of enabling or disabling a user's custom title via the user editor, it's become a set of full-fledged permissions. The two new permissions are "Can edit own custom title" and "Can ignore custom title requirements", which should allow the same range of functionality as before, in addition to allowing group-level control.

This version has passed my limited testing, but it's possible I've made an error in the installation script. Due to my familiarity with the MOD, I often correct errors in my head without even noticing. (This happened once or twice with the old phpBB 2.0.x version.) In addition, the time required for installation is an estimate, and I'd like to get some real numbers from people less familiar with it.

Installation with AutoMOD is highly recommended. (Upgrading with AutoMOD is possible, but more complicated than it needs to be, however.)

Any testing, comments, or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Excellent work Aexoden.
I loved this MOD for 2.0.x :D
Will give it a whirl on my test board as soon as I can (may be a few days though, I'm getting Guitar Hero tonight \o/ :ugeek: )

Installed according to directions ...

Admin CP and Mod CP are now completely white, with an instant load. They are now just blank pages.

I'm not sure what would cause that, since I can't reproduce it here. You could try uncommenting the two lines in config.php that define DEBUG and DEBUG_EXTRA and see if that helps shed some light, but I'm not sure even that will help. All I can suggest is to make sure to clear your phpBB cache (delete all .php files in cache/) and try again. If I find time, I'll try to see if I can replicate it, but that's probably a couple of days away at least. (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday are really busy for me).

My best guess is a syntax error in one of the acp files, but that didn't produce the problem on my machine, so I don't know.

I can replicate the forum onto a test site and give you access to the ftp if you want to take a look at it.

- plus I cleared the cache and still no goal.

That's fine if you want to do that. Just PM me the details or whatever and I'll take a look at it when I get a chance over the next couple of days. (And then assuming I figure it out, I'll make sure to post the solution so no one else runs into it. If there's one thing I learned from the phpBB 2.0.x version, it's that the same problem comes up again and again.)

There's also the possibility that I just broke something in the installation script. I haven't had any reports of a successful install, and I haven't had a chance to do a thorough test install myself. Boy, it'll be embarrassing if that's the cause. :shock:

Hey Aexoden.

I downloaded the mod (finally -- sorry it has taken so long for me to reply - and thanks so much for fulfilling my request!) the problem I seem to be having is that the download has no files in any of the folders except contrib.

Are there supposed to be files in root and whatnot?

I just want to check on this before I try to install this, I don't want to make any mistakes. :)

It looks like contrib should have README.txt and templates should have prosilver.xml. root is empty and so is languages. I'm not sure if the MODX standard requires me to include them if they're empty, so I did.

EDIT: See below for upgrade instructions from alpha1 to alpha2.

Hi Guys someone can say to me if this mode is suitale for:

2. I would like to understand if it's possible to get a name of a subforum composed by the country of the subscriber + a number that is the ID number picked up on the dbase of the forum. (so 1,2,3,4,5 etc) For instance A U.S. guy is gonna to create (as per point 1) a subforum . I want that the subscription form doesn't allow them to choice the name but the name must be US+"shop"+number = US-shop-05 that means the fifth shop opened so far in US.
Anyone has an idea on this issue?
I guess I need to go through the dbase structure as well as the phpbb3 code for modifying the subscription form more deeply. I need a rule that compose the name of the subforum nad get a message where is written:

"You've successfully created US-shop-05 . etc etc..."

any help by mod expertise is truly appreciated.

There's no fundamental reason it shouldn't, though it looks like at least one of the template FIND instructions might need some changes. I'll take a look at it in a couple of days. Otherwise, I didn't notice anything too critical in my initial scan.
