[ABD] Simple Points System 0.5.1

[Ganon_master]

I use Notepad++. It's a free editor released under the GPL license.

Ganon! this is a great mod and I thank you for the time you put into it. I know it must get annoying being a tech support for newbies questions so i'll try and keep it simple!

the point numbers are showing, it shows up in the ACP, I modified the settings (i.e. 10 for post, 5 for reply) and the point count numbers just aren't going up! Everyones is at 0 permanently. I made sure the "yes" box is checked so this leaves me to conclude it's something in the code. Can you easily narrow it down off hand to one code bit that I can go and double check?

(also, off hand, I don't want you to do any complex coding just for me because I don't want to be a pest but -- since I'm implementing this mod late into the forum, is there a way i could make the beginning score count a users # of posts? i.e. if I have 1533 posts, my starting points number is 1533 and we just run it from there (topic 10, reply 5)...I doubt this is easily doable but hey -- was worth a shot!

thank you!

[Ganon_master]

You are probably not getting any points because the forum permissions per group are probably still set to 'no'.

And unfortunatly I can't help you with the post counter.

I haven't looked at any of the database construction for this MOD, but what you want to do could be pretty easily achieved by running an SQL query that SETs the point amount to the same amount as members' post counts. Someone familiar with this mod could probably help point you to the right spot...

I actually meant to say that I was unable to anything at that time.

I didn't test this, so use it with caution. It uses the config entry for points per post.

ok looked at the posting.php file got nothing there.

here is the error:
[phpBB Debug] PHP Notice: in file /includes/functions.php on line 4312: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /language/en/posting.php:1)

there is nothing before the <?php or after the ?> so where would the problem be?

[Ganon_master]

ok looked at the posting.php file got nothing there.
.....
there is nothing before the <?php or after the ?> so where would the problem be?

I already posted about your problem. Read the quote below. It came from the previous page.

The errors seem to come from phpBB Debug] PHP Notice: in file /includes/functions.php on line 4312: is there a way to look at that file on that line and see what the problem is

You are misunderstanding the error. Normally /includes/functions.php uses the header function to start sending the page to the user. However, this results in an error if a character has already been sent. That is the error you are getting. Take a look at the bolded area in the error below.

[phpBB Debug] PHP Notice: in file /includes/functions.php on line 4312: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /language/en/posting.php:1)

So the problem is probably in your /language/en/posting.php file. I don't know what the problem could be except for outputted characters before the <?php or after the ?>.

As I stated there, I don't know what the problem could be. Are you using wordpad to edit? If so, try using Notepad or some other program to save the file. UTF-8 format would be the best.

[Zheverling]

i deleted these lines
header('Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8');
header('Cache-Control: private, no-cache="set-cookie"');
header('Expires: 0');
header('Pragma: no-cache');

and that problem went away but the points system is in the ACP and it is on but no points show up?

I recommend that you put those lines back immediatly. They are very important to all the pages of phpBB.

and that problem went away but the points system is in the ACP and it is on but no points show up?

Since you are having so many problems, I think you should upload you backup files, and re-do the entire Simple Points System installation again. And please, don't use Wordpad, or Word. Use Notepad or a special PHP editor.

[Da Undead]

I use wordpad, it works great. I have dreamweaver, but that takes to much time to load. I only use it on php files when it says I have an error on line xxx... then I can go in dreamweaver and check it out . But wordpad works great for me.

[Da Undead]

Btw how do you use the upgrade xml file. I don't get how to install it or w-e. Im using 3.0.

EDIT:
Nevermind, I just read the upgrade file and i found what line it was going to change. But in future updates, how do I use the xml. Do i rename it, then upload it or wat?

[Ganon_master]

You are supposed to open the XML files in your browser. That way you can read the MODX format.

[Da Undead]

oh lol, well 1 bug. It doesn't show the correct points under avatar in a topic .

[Ganon_master]

That should (in theory) be impossible. Go into phpMyAdmin, navigate to the phpbb_users table, look up the user_points for one user and match the amount with the amount displayed in viewtopic for that user.

Hello guys,

After installing the mode, I get following error with viewtopic.php

[phpBB Debug] PHP Notice: in file /viewtopic.php on line 1431: Undefined index: points_name
[phpBB Debug] PHP Notice: in file /viewtopic.php on line 1433: Undefined index: points_enable

[phpBB Debug] PHP Notice: in file /includes/functions.php on line 3722: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /includes/functions.php:3264)

I had a similar one with posting.php but after setting the includes/mods/ directory structure it went away. But i can't get rid of the above error.

Also the potential characters before <php and ?> should be void as I'm using nano (am i right?) in a terminal window for editing.

The SQL update went ok as well. Just had to change the table names cuz of local installation.

Any idea?
