Karma MOD

Look carefully...

And sorry, but here is a support of karma mod, not basics of mods installing. No more answers on questions like this.

I'm sorry - I'm new to this and I'm getting a little frustrated.

When I try to open the files in question, nothing happens. i just can't seem to get this working. If you are familiar with installing this, I'd appreciate any step by step guidance you could provide.

hi, i`ve sucesfuly installed this great mode but when I`m clicking "Karma MOD" in admin panel:

Code: Select all

Cannot find module ./../includes/mods/mods/acp/acp_karma.php

I`ve tried to fix functions_karma.php by removing 'mods/' from:

Code: Select all

$directory = str_replace($module_class, 'mods/' . $module_class, $directory);

but after that:

Code: Select all

Cannot find module ./../includes/acp/acp_karma.php

Please help

[m157y]

please, check your installation at includes/functions_module.php
because i can't reproduce this.

If you are trying to edit files you need to get a text editor, I would recommend using Crimson Editor. It has tabs, but don't be tempted to edit more than one file at a time unless you are making comparisons, open them, edit them, and save them in a different location that maintains the locations of the files, which means that if the file was in \includes you need to make a folder for your mod with a folder inside it called \includes and put it there, making sure that you don't capitalise any of the names.

And whatever you do, make sure that you follow this method:

Put all the files for your mod in a new folder and give it the name of your mod, making sure you include any files that came with the instructions.

Never, ever ever ever, do a second mod without testing the first one, you'll make lots of work for yourself redoing them.

When you want to do a new mod, copy the previous mod folder and rename it so that they stay in alphabetical order, like this:

a Karma Mod Folder

b Quick Reply Mod Folder

c Shoutbox Mod Folder

Then edit the new folder only, this means that you can undo mods.

And once you have done that, make sure you do these four things:

If your mod affects any files with 'registration' in their name, or you suspect the mod might affect it, register a test account and make sure you get the activation email, and that this still works. This is because you might not find out for months that nobody can register as people rarely, if ever, tell the admin! Make sure you delete the account afterwards so that you don't have junk accounts and extra email addresses.

Post somewhere in your forum, this is a very good bench test! You might find you can't complete this, especially for mods that affect the viewforum or posting files.

Send a PM to yourself, and check you can read it, if you don't your PM system could be down for weeks or months.

If your mod affects admin or moderator panel files, check you can still use them.

Have fun!


Unfortunately, the Karma mod is still not working and I have no idea where to start.

I am using the CA Black style from this site http://beta.colorizeit.com/ my problem is that the mod tells me my breadcrumbs file is missing or corupt when I try to add or remove Karma, but everything else works fine.

As is see CA Black is proSilver-based template and breadcrumbs is part of subSilver-based templates. Which instruction are you used for CA Black?

[Dragonwolf]

That's very odd, but explains a lot! I was totally sure it was subsilver2 based. Thanks! I'll try remodding the styles. Are you sure it's prosilver?

[m157y]

if you'll look at main css-file(stylesheet.css) of CA Black, you'll see:

Code: Select all

	Style name:		proSilver
	Based on style:	proSilver (this is the default phpBB 3 style)

Any questions?

[m157y]

Sorry me for delay, but i'm currently fixing bugs and clean-up code for more stable and fast work. I'll release new version not later then 24 February. Sorry again.

[Dragonwolf]

Thanks, Karma is working properly now, though for some reason I have lost the line that divides the posting text from the post title. Do you know what might have caused that? It seems to have been replaced by a copy of the poster's name

[m157y]

Sorry, which line and on which template?
Can you post a screenshot?

[Dragonwolf]

*Edit*

Found out what it was. Thanks for your help though!

[m157y]

Glad to know that it was not my fault

[m157y]

Khm, sent to MODDB for validation.
Also i can release it via sourceforge and internal update-checker early then it'll be validated at mod db.

[Mr.Victor]

Can't wait for validation!
