[3.2][RC] Topic Template

[martti]

Extension Name: Topic Template
Author: martti
Extension Description: With this extension you can set a Topic Template (text) in the ACP for each forum in your board. The editor gets prefilled with the text that you defined in ACP whenever someone starts a topic.

Migrate from "Posting Template":
This is an upgrade and rewrite of my "Posting Template" extension.
It got renamed to "Topic Template" to reflect better what it does.
The "Topic Template" extension checks in the install process if the "Posting Template" extension is enabled.
If this is the case, all template data is copied to the "Topic Template" extension.

In order to migrate the templates from "Posting Template":

• keep "Posting Template" enabled.
• Install and enable this extension.
• Disable "Posting Template".

(If you are looking for setting a template for the replies in a topic see the Reply Template extension)
Extension Version: 0.1.1

I needed this thanks

[jan_2017]

I love this ext.

I have had up to yesterday the ext "support ticket" from user dmzx

It was nice but no adjustable content in acp.

Now I can set everything individually for each forum.

Very Thanks

sorry double post

excellent extension

Currently I use phpbb3.2.2 and could use an topic template extension, so I created a folder named marttiphpbb and an subfolder named topictemplate.
In the subfolder I copied all unpacked files and finally found the extension in the admin extension manager.
Yet at enabling this extension I receive the following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '?' in /public/sites/www.mkservices.nl/computerhulp/ext/mart ... /store.php on line 61

How do I solve this?

You got stuck at a Null coalescing operator
Your PHP version is probably not 7+

[php-bb3-user]

It is actually 5.6.17-1~dotdeb+7.1

[martti]

It is actually 7.1

Still my guess is that you are not using PHP7+. Did you check with phpinfo() (ACP > PHP Information) ?
The line in question reads:

Code: Select all

	return $this->data[$key] ?? null;

The Null coalescing operator (??) was introduced in PHP 7.0
But your PHP parser expects a ternary and doesn't understand the second question mark (?)

[martti]

It is actually 5.6.17-1~dotdeb+7.1

So it's PHP 5.6

[php-bb3-user]

I misread, therefor I copied it from acp.
Do you know of an older extension version that does actually support the 5.6 php for phpbb3.2.2 version?

[martti]

It is actually 5.6.17-1~dotdeb+7.1

So it's PHP 5.6

~dotdeb+7.1 is the build for Debian 7.1. Which is from June 2013.

My previous extension "Posting Template".

Thanks.

So Later on, when php 5.6 has been upgraded, an conversion can be done, correct?

That's right. It's described in the first post here.
