Thanks MOD team!

Any changes of note from the pre-release version? 0.1.1 I think it was...
http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=16

Or only adding the release information and the Subforum capabilities?
## 2007-01-21 - Version 1.0.0
## - Added license.txt

## - Simple subforums addon by noobarmy

As I don't use subforums... I am not sure there is any need to update mine... - please let me know though if any changes need to be incorporated for security... or other reasons.

Again great mod - thanks!

The only change is in viewtopic.php from this:

Code: Select all

redirect(append_sid("{$phpbb_root_path}index.$phpEx", true));

to:

Code: Select all

redirect(append_sid("index.$phpEx", true));

But it should even work if you don't do that. I still suggest you change it though, since it's cleaner.

Demo please. or can you give me more details about it (forum will be links) ?

For a demo click on my sig - or follow this link:
http://www.cyber-mag.com/phpBB2/index.php

The forums that have this icon next to them are links to external sites or pages outside of the standard forum one expects to enter.

The icon to use is totally up to you of course - I generated my own for each template in use.

Thank you ShadowKnyght for your clarification. BTW, it's very impressive site.

Thank you - although I do need to speed it up a little - first time visitors have a pretty bad loading time... especially if they are on dial up instead of broad band / cable.

This is from the simple subforums addon install file:

Code: Select all

#
#-----[ OPEN ]------------------------------------------
#
admin/admin_forums.php
#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------
#
				$prune_enabled = '';
			}
#
#-----[ AFTER, ADD ]------------------------------------------
#
//-- mod : Forum Title Link ------------------------------------------------------------
//-- add
			$link_ary = array( 'link_is' => 0, 'link_url' => '', 'link_append_sid' => 0, 'link_count' => 0, 'link_count_do' => 0 );;
			while( list($key, $val) = each($link_ary) )
			{
				$$key = ( $mode == 'editforum' ) ? $row[$key] : $val;
			}
//-- fin mod : Forum Title Link --------------------------------------------------------

note the ";;"

please correct it

Yes i know, it's a minor issue and doesn't prevent the MOD from working

Dynamicadam · Post by **Dynamicadam** » Tue Aug 21, 2007 9:30 am

Maybe I'm being stupid, but I can't find any installation instructions, so I haven't got a clue what to do...

EDIT: Sorry - ignore that - i was opening Install.xml before I extracted it.

Hi,

I've been looking at this MOD for ages but had no need for it... until now! But, have a problem.

I have Simple Subforums installed but have hit an issue with the required code changes to index.php:

Code: Select all

#
#-----[ IN-LINE FIND ]------------------------------------------
#
append_sid("viewforum.$phpEx?" . POST_FORUM_URL . "=$forum_id")
#
#-----[ IN-LINE REPLACE WITH ]------------------------------------------
#
$u_viewforum
#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------
#
							);
#
#-----[ AFTER, ADD ]------------------------------------------
#

//-- mod : Forum Title Link ------------------------------------------------------------
//-- add
							if( $forum_data[$j]['link_is'] && !empty($forum_data[$j]['link_url']) )
							{
								$template->assign_block_vars( 'catrow.forumrow.is_link', array() );
							}
							else
							{
								$template->assign_block_vars( 'catrow.forumrow.not_link', array() );
							}
//-- fin mod : Forum Title Link --------------------------------------------------------

The first INLINE FIND is repeated twice in the index file! What is the code before / after in order to determine exactly where it needs to go (replace)?

The second FIND. Quite a few of them! Again, where about does the required AFTER, ADD need to go?

Yes, I've installed a lot of MOD's but I'm sorry to say the Forum Title Link MOD (simple subforums) install file is confusing and I apologise for saying that!

Many thanks!

Thank you

This part of your index_body.tpl file:

Code: Select all

<!-- END not_link -->
       <!-- BEGIN is_link -->
       <td class="row2" align="center" valign="middle" height="50"><span class="gensmall">{catrow.forumrow.LINK_STATS}</span></td>
       <!-- END is_link -->   
      </tr>
      <!-- END forumrow -->
      <!-- END catrow -->

Should be:

Code: Select all

	<!-- END not_link -->
	<!-- BEGIN is_link -->
	<td class="row2" align="center" valign="middle" height="50" nowrap="nowrap" colspan="3">
		<span class="gensmall">{catrow.forumrow.LINK_STATS}</span>
	</td>
	<!-- END is_link -->
<!-- END forumrow --> 
<!-- END catrow -->

In other words, replace </tr> with </td> as above.

Hope that helps.
