(ACP)Forum Creation radio button default state

[PhilDiscuss]

Is it possible to do this, automatically of Forum Creation?
So the next time I create new Forum I will not do the click?



Maybe a setting or change of code to make this happen?

Thank you

You can do that by giving them a true value in includes/acp/acp_forums.php

// Fill forum data with default values

Code: Select all

							'parent_id'				=> $this->parent_id,
							'forum_type'			=> FORUM_POST,
							'forum_status'			=> ITEM_UNLOCKED,
							'forum_name'			=> utf8_normalize_nfc(request_var('forum_name', '', true)),
							'forum_link'			=> '',
							'forum_link_track'		=> false,
							'forum_desc'			=> '',
							'forum_rules'			=> '',
							'forum_rules_link'		=> '',
							'forum_image'			=> '',
							'forum_style'			=> 0,
							'display_subforum_list'	=> true,
							'display_on_index'		=> true,
							'forum_topics_per_page'	=> 0,
							'enable_indexing'		=> true,
							'enable_icons'			=> true,
							'enable_prune'			=> false,
							'prune_days'			=> 7,
							'prune_viewed'			=> 7,
							'prune_freq'			=> 1,
							'enable_shadow_prune'		=> false,
							'prune_shadow_days'		=> 7,
							'prune_shadow_freq'		=> 1,
							'forum_flags'			=> FORUM_FLAG_POST_REVIEW + FORUM_FLAG_ACTIVE_TOPICS,
							'forum_options'			=> 0,
							'forum_password'		=> '',
							'forum_password_confirm'=> '',

And change from 'S_ENABLE_QUICK_REPLY' => ($forum_data['forum_flags'] & FORUM_FLAG_QUICK_REPLY) ? true : false, to 'S_ENABLE_QUICK_REPLY' => ($forum_data['forum_flags'] & FORUM_FLAG_QUICK_REPLY) != true,. That should do it.

All it needs now is to make it into an extension

Ik David! I would love to do it myself but i am new in this "extensions world". I've done just some very simple ones so far. He was asking about code changes too so i don't think there is a prob xD

Hello. Thank you for the replies

I will edit that file, save me from thousands clicks

[PhilDiscuss]

Gee hee hee.. reply again,

Yeah, its good to have an extension for this. That determines the radio buttons on acp forum creation, just turn off or on.

So the core files will not be touch, virgin.

Just for reference, Phil is trying to make 50,000 forums (despite advice not to ) so it's not a setting that will be applicable to many other admins.

[PhilDiscuss]

..chillax.

Thank you for the advice , 50, 000 will see if phpBB will cry .. seems like you are more worry than me.

Anw, it is a interesting for phpBB. That's how I love phpBB ...

ADD: back on my topic, I know there is someone out there might have interest.

Thank you Amigo

In /includes/acp/acp_forums.php, I set

Line: 685

Code: Select all

'S_DISPLAY_ACTIVE_TOPICS'	=> ($forum_data['forum_type'] == FORUM_POST) ? ($forum_data['forum_flags'] & FORUM_FLAG_ACTIVE_TOPICS) : false,

to become NO,

but still

[PhilDiscuss]

I change the value, and works great!


but when I edit, this happen

[Neculai Anisor]

Oh ... I don't know why but i find this really funny (the story about the 50.000 forums). Sounds like a comedy movie to me tho.

The values are like that when you are trying to edit the forums because ... THEY ARE SAVED IN THE DATABASE ALREADY. Sorry for caps lock pal.
The modifications i gave you, are only when you are trying to create a new forum and the values are already set to Yes/No. When you submit the forum, values are going to database. Got it?
You might need a sql query to change the values in the database.

Regards.

Does he know about phpBB • phpBB3 QuickInstall - Contribution Details? Could it provide a starting point for whatever he/she is really trying to accomplish?

50.000 forums not 50.000 boards/installations.

Sorry I misunderstood the objective. Carry on.
