Contact Admin

[david63]

Are you looking at the .xml file in the templates folder for either prosilver or subsilver2?

[grogo67]

Ah, I have the Black Pearl style loaded so I did not look at those files! I tried to make the same changes to index_body.html in the /styles/black_pearl/template folder but unfortunately it is still not working. I want to keep this style so I guess I'll just have to do without as I do not know enough about HTML or PHP to make it work....

If you made edits to your black_pearl template, upload edited files to server and do not forget to clean cache!

Nice and easy mod allowing for user to contact Admin. I added the contact link in the Overall Header to display with the other links I have there with the fisubsilver style.

While looking at the necessary changes I noticed this, a not needed trailing anchor tag in the changes for the styles/subsilver2/template/index_body.html, in the following line.

<td class="cat" colspan="2"><h4>{L_HAVING_A_PROBLEM}</a></h4></td>

Just out of interest, how do you have this link appear on every displayed page whether index, forum or topic?

I tried moving it to the overall footer but it only appears when the Index page shows, the rest of the time is blank.

I tried placing it on viewforum.php, viewtopic.php or viewonline.php and it seems to break them badly.

The footer would be a great place to have it. Can anyone give me any pointers on how?

TIA. I will have a try later myself ...

have your tryed Purge the cache in ACP

[nonegiven]

Yes ... and it should would be good to have an instant "developer's button" to purge and refresh in one for the number of times I have done it.

Does not work. It is something in the code, or that needs to be coded for subsequent pages.

[david63]

If anyone wants to have the link on a page, or pages, other that the Index page then you will need to put the index.php edits in the appropriate script(s) for that page. ie if you wanted the link to be in the header then you will need to put the edits in the page_header() function in functions.php.

That does work, thanks. Here are the specifics to put it in the footer;

Find:

Code: Select all

	$template->assign_vars(array(
		'DEBUG_OUTPUT'			=> (defined('DEBUG')) ? $debug_output : '',
		'TRANSLATION_INFO'		=> (!empty($user->lang['TRANSLATION_INFO'])) ? $user->lang['TRANSLATION_INFO'] : '',

After add:

Code: Select all

	$template->assign_vars(array(
		'DEBUG_OUTPUT'			=> (defined('DEBUG')) ? $debug_output : '',
		'TRANSLATION_INFO'		=> (!empty($user->lang['TRANSLATION_INFO'])) ? $user->lang['TRANSLATION_INFO'] : '',
// Contact Admin mod
	'U_ADMIN_CONTACT'			=> '<a href="mailto:' . $config['board_email'] . '?subject=' . $user->lang['CONTACT_SUBJECT'] . '">' . $user->lang['CONTACT_ADMIN'] . '</a>',

The end result should look like this:

Code: Select all

	$template->assign_vars(array(
		'DEBUG_OUTPUT'			=> (defined('DEBUG')) ? $debug_output : '',
		'TRANSLATION_INFO'		=> (!empty($user->lang['TRANSLATION_INFO'])) ? $user->lang['TRANSLATION_INFO'] : '',
// Contact Admin mod
	'U_ADMIN_CONTACT'			=> '<a href="mailto:' . $config['board_email'] . '?subject=' . $user->lang['CONTACT_SUBJECT'] . '">' . $user->lang['CONTACT_ADMIN'] . '</a>',
		'U_ACP' => ($auth->acl_get('a_') && $user->data['is_registered']) ? append_sid("{$phpbb_root_path}adm/index.$phpEx", false, true, $user->session_id) : '')
		
	);

Which places the contact admin email link before the 'delete cookies' link.

Of course, on retrospect, I suppose it could have been done with a simple mailto: link? May be ...

Anyway, this works.

Hi, I edited index.php and common.php rightly, but nothing change in my forum.
I had purge cache also, but still nothing change.

Please help me
