[3.2][RC] Thanks for posts (and optional Tapatalk integration)

[Naguissa]

Hi Naguissa,

first of all : Thanks for the 3.2 version, it's a functionnality that my members and I are using a lot!
The extension is working fine: giving thanks OK, display of thanks given and received OK, counters OK.

I have an issue though, It appears after upgrading my forum from 3.1 to 3.2: The links to the lists of thanks are leading to a 404 error.

For example, the link to the "Top 10" at the bottom of the forum is

Code: Select all

https://www.maquettes-papier.net/forumenpapier/thankslist

The link "Thanks given" in the member information is

Code: Select all

https://www.maquettes-papier.net/forumenpapier/thankslist/givens/2/true

and so on...

I tried to find a fix and the only thing I see is my modification of the httacess. But that modification was already there with my board in 3.1...

Any thoughts?

Regards

It seems you are using Apache web server.

If you have mod_rewrite enabled, check phpBB 3.2 ".htaccess" file, as it seems to have problems.

If you don't have mod_rewrite enabled, you should disable "Rewrite URLs" on phpBB site config on ACP.

I disabled the rewrite url in the ACP and it's working fine now. Unfortunately the urls for the rest of the forum are now changed as well (obviously).

I will try to play with the rewrite rules in the htaccess and see where it leads.

thanks for the help

I suggest you to check your actual .htaccess to a new download of phpBB 3.2 one. I use nginx and rules are coded differently, but I think you miss the equivalent to this one:

Code: Select all

if (!-e $request_filename) {
      rewrite ^(.*)$ /app.php;
    }

It redirects any not found request to phpBB's app.php file.


Now that I think of it... you may try clearing cache first....

[buzuc]

That's exactly what I'm doing right now: rewrite my htaccess based on a "out of the box" one from phpbb3.2

Now that I think of it... you may try clearing cache first....

that's what I do each time I change something on my board

Looks like just what I'm looking for.
Any known security risks with this extension?

None reported or that I'm aware of....

I'm really sorry if that question(s) has already been answered...

I have the rxu's ext (Thanks for posts) installed on my 3.2.5 board with the extra ext for the "Addon for Thanks for posts"(no page refresh on like).

So here are my questions...

• How is this ext differs from rxu's (besides the tapatalk integration)
• If I disable rxu's ext and install this one will it use the already existing thanks of the users or it will start from the beginning?
• Wouldn't it be better/easier to have a ext like the "Addon for Thanks for posts" (no page refresh on like) for tapatalk as well?

Thank you!

At the beginnit, it was a 3.2 port of rxu's main branch. Then I added Tapatalk support. Not they've evolved separately, integrating minor different options and glyphs usages.

Still, core functionality is the same, but now they differ in a lot of details.

• If I disable rxu's ext and install this one will it use the already existing thanks of the users or it will start from the beginning?

Last time I looked for this, one or two months ago, we were still using same tables. It should be compatible.

• Wouldn't it be better/easier to have a ext like the "Addon for Thanks for posts" (no page refresh on like) for tapatalk as well?

Yes, but I needed a phpBB 3.2 version of the extension and didn't saw an existing development branch in rxu's repository. Then I devoloped more options suiting my needs (i.e.: change images for FontAwesome glyphs).

Thank you!

You are welcome!

Great mod Naguissa.

Two questions:

• How is the rating calculated
• The screenshots on the opening post has a shot with a heart on it (assume instead of thumbs up)- what theme is that?

Great mod Naguissa.
[/list]

Well, it's only a fork of rxu's extension, and that one was a conversion from Палыч 's mod....

Thanks anyway.

Two questions:

• How is the rating calculated

current thanks / max_thanks_from_same_element_type

i.e.:
score = thaks of this post / max number of thanks in any post
score = thaks of this thread / max number of thanks in any thread
[...]

• The screenshots on the opening post has a shot with a heart on it (assume instead of thumbs up)- what theme is that?

If it's the mobile display (you can see a black bar with back soft-button on bottom) it's Tapatalk Android 4.1 app from long time ago. I'm still using my 5.5 years old Jolla Sailfish OS phone that has compatibility with 4.1 Android.

A recent "problem" with member list, made me notice one thing.
On the "toplist" of [Thanks for posts] extension, permission "Can see hidden users" is not respected.
I try to better explain:
If board is settled with "Can see hidden users" at No, the column "last action" of the "toplist" should be hidden as well.
Like in board member list.
If a user can see "last action" of other users, it's a way to know that a user is online and this is like a bypass of the board permission setting.
In my opinion it should be corrected checking the "u_viewonline" flag like in "memberlist.php".

I'ts that clear?
