Contact Board Administration

[RMcGirr83]

I don't believe that style "Mybird" is updated to even 3.0.6 let alone 3.0.7. Do you have the prosilver style involved? You may want to change to that to see if the errors still present themselves.

The captcha_default.html file is part of a 3.0.6 style for a phpBB forum.

When I visit the link you posted, I see this

Code: Select all

{ CONTACT_BOARD_ADMIN }

So check the edits to language/xxx/common.php

..and it looks like you may have uploaded the prosilver html file from the mod download instead of the subsilver2 one as well.

I really need help with the Contact Board and it doesnt looks good. Can you please tell me why is wrong?

You also are missing the edits to your language/xxx/common.php per the mod install instructions.

Other than that it looks fine.

[EDIT]You have also used an editor to the common.php file that has inserted a BOM. You need to use a strict text editor like notepad++ (google) and reedit the file making sure to save it as UTF-8 without BOM[/EDIT]

When I add the code to the common.php I get this error.

Code: Select all

[phpBB Debug] PHP Notice: in file /includes/functions.php on line 4253: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /language/en/common.php:1)

And the when you are log-in on the forum the "Contact Board" looks differentis missing email, Confirmation code etc.

When I upgraded each version, I just let the auto update do the work and it never errored and the forum looked fine later. In the ACP it definitely says 3.0.7 so I'm not sure how to update my template. How can you tell what version each template is? Or do you just know because of files that is should have with the new versions?

Ok, I activated the prosilver and deactivated my template, but Prosilver doesn't come up as the default now? Preview shows it looking fine with my site, but I can't see the contact page that way.
Installed styles
prosilver * 0 Details Deactivate | Export | Delete | Preview
forum_14161 58 Details Activate | Export | Delete | Preview
I did notice that this says forum_14161 but my directories are using myBird?!? This was installed a while ago and was used from another forum template. So could have gotten confused since I dealt with 4 forums at the time! Do you think that's why my templates don't get updated correctly?

The captcha_default.html file is part of a 3.0.6 style for a phpBB forum.

Well, that explains that once I figure out how to upgrade my template that I didn't know wasn't.

When I visit the link you posted, I see this

Code: Select all

{ CONTACT_BOARD_ADMIN }

Not showing errors now after copying the contact_body.html from the subsilver.

So check the edits to language/xxx/common.php

This is what I have....edited in both en and en_us now

Code: Select all

//-- mod : Contact board administration ------------------------------------------------------------
//-- add
$lang = array_merge($lang, array(
	'CONTACT_BOARD_ADMIN'		=> 'Contact Board Administration',
	'CONTACT_BOARD_ADMIN_SHORT'	=> 'Contact',
));
//-- fin mod : Contact board administration --------------------------------------------------------

?>

..and it looks like you may have uploaded the prosilver html file from the mod download instead of the subsilver2 one as well.

put the contact_body.html file from the subsilver into my template.

So I guess the issues I have is that I need to update my template and I don't know how. That will give me the captcha. And, at this time, I still don't have a .mods tab. But if my template is up to date, then I can see if the rest is good. Actually, I don't think the mods tab would have to do with template would it? Is updating the template something you can tell me or should I go start another forum because it's getting off subject? Thanks!

[azdolfan]

Since posting the previous message saying there were no errors on the contact page and just the captcha was not there and .mods tab in ACP, I ate dinner, came back refreshed my forum and it''s back to errors. Without me changing a thing.

Anyway, I started a new thread about updating my template because I thought it was getting off subject of your mod. I'll let you know how it goes once I get that problem fixed. Thx!

Everything is working great except that when you are log-in on my board the contact look like this..



And when you log-out as guest everything looks perfect. So, any suggestion?

What do you mean? If you are logged onto the forum there is no need for the user to input a username or email address....is there?

[marcus85]

Yep, there is no a username or email address.

Yep, there is no a username or email address.

I'll try saying it this way.

If a user of your forum is logged on, then there is no need for them to input a username and email address as the ones from the forum will be used for that user.

This is a really neat mod. I have it installed on a 3.0.7 test board and everything looks great, but it keeps saying I'm typing the wrong code on the CAPTCHA. I've tried many times, it isn't a case of misreading it. Any clue how to fix this?

Also, I would like the emails to go to a different address rather than the admin address. Is there a way to reroute it?

Thank you.

This is a really neat mod, I really want to install it on the main board. I have it installed on a 3.0.7 test board and everything looks great, but it keeps saying I'm typing the wrong code on the CAPTCHA. I've tried it many times, it isn't a case of misreading it. Any clue how to fix this?

First I have heard of that...the mod uses the captcha of the board. Registering on your forum the captcha works okay?

Also, I would like the emails to go to a different address rather than the admin address. Is there a way to reroute it?

Thank you.

Just choose "Board Founder" or have your admins choose not to be able to be contacted via email...or use the post to forum method or the PM method.

[CarolC1]

OK, I can do the PM method. Thanks. Any idea on the CAPTCHA? It isn't working.
