All of the sudden I can't change my votes. I used to be able to. Tried clicking Vote Down but it didn't change even though it changed to "Voted"...

Also the mouse doesn't change to the hand when you hover over the buttons that's after "Rating". The hand generally indicate it's a button/link.

EDIT: Okay I have NO idea what happened, now it's working again all of the sudden. Ignore this post. Again. So sorry. -_-
Firebug toses this

Code: Select all

TypeError: href is undefined

return href.indexOf('status=4') !== -1;

ideas.js (Line 279)
so its exact the reason, why its not working ;)

Ah, see the edit. In Firefox it works for me, hm.
But the firebug error still remains.

Okay, now "Top Ideas" won't show anything, even though when I go to view all, it shows one idea...

Hi

Please forgive me if this sounds too newbish but I dont get if ideas require a complete dedicated empty phpbb installation or not. I mean: I already have a (small) phpbb board (in /forums) up & running with all my forums and so on.. I would like to create a link forum that links to /ideas and have all the ideas there, more or less as it is done here.

Do I need a separate phpbb installation or may I just install the /ideas dir as described?

thanks

You can use your current "board". Just create an IDEAS "forum" on it for IDEAS to use as it's forum. From the first page: viewtopic.php?p=13342903#p13342903 That forum doesn't have to be viewable by normal users: viewtopic.php?p=13342960#p13342960

I'm trying to get it going on my board. So far I did the following:

1. Downloaded the "ideas" zip file from https://github.com/phpbb/phpbb-ideas.
2. Unzip that, to get the ideas extracted folder.
3. Created a folder in my root-directory with name "ideas".
4. Copied the 'ideas extracted folder' to the folder created in step 3.
5. Created a file named "config.php" as a copy of "config.sample.php".

Now when I direct the url to myboard/ideas/install.php I see the following:
Warning: include(../phpBB3/common.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home4/anujdhaw/public_html/ideas/install.php on line 19

Warning: include(../phpBB3/common.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home4/anujdhaw/public_html/ideas/install.php on line 19

Please assist.

You need to modify config.php so that the settings are correct: namely, in this case, telling it where your board is.

I think it should probably be changed from:

Code: Select all

define('PHPBB_ROOT_PATH', '../phpBB3/');

Code: Select all

define('PHPBB_ROOT_PATH', '../');
Also remember to change

Code: Select all

define('IDEAS_FORUM_ID', 1);
define('IDEAS_POSTER_ID', 1);
To the forum id and the userid of the user you want IDEAS to post as.

Thanks, I did this and was able to direct the browser to the install.php and installed it but now what is next? As when I direct my browser to http://board.com/ideas/ it shows:

Hi,

Does someone have this working on their Board? I'll probably explore with them...

Thanks callumacrae. I've to start over to tell where I'm stuck:

1. Downloaded the "ideas" zip file from https://github.com/phpbb/phpbb-ideas.
2. Unzip that, to get the ideas extracted folder.
3. Created a folder in my root-directory with name "ideas".
4. Copied the 'ideas extracted folder' to the folder created in step 3.
5. Created a file named "config.php" as a copy of "config.sample.php".

Now when I direct the url to myboard/ideas/install.php I saw some warning (posted in previous message). This goes away when I change define('PHPBB_ROOT_PATH', '../phpBB3/'); to define('PHPBB_ROOT_PATH', '../');. And install seems successful. However, now when I direct my browser to http://www.ibm-mainframes.com/ideas/ it shows:
Warning: include(__DIR__/common.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home4/anujdhaw/public_html/ideas/index.php on line 13

Warning: include(__DIR__/common.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home4/anujdhaw/public_html/ideas/index.php on line 13

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening '__DIR__/common.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home4/anujdhaw/public_html/ideas/index.php on line 13

Fatal error: Call to undefined function page_header() in /home4/anujdhaw/public_html/ideas/index.php on line 15
The help I need in - how to get it going.

Thanks for your patience for reading this long post... :oops:
