Ideas Support topic

A real issue this time...

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"...
http://chenschool.elementfx.com/phpBB3/ ... a.php?id=4 (Test/test123)
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.

when I try to vote tells me that I do not have the required permissions to complete the operation.

yet I followed everything to the letter.
I state that I have installed locally.

Resolved.

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

Thanks I'll work on it!

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

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

[bonelifer]

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:

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

Hi,

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

Well, I've got it working on a few boards. What do you need help with?

[Anuj Dhawan]

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...

[callumacrae]

Have you changed anything else?

[Anuj Dhawan]

Nopes!
