1.) If I set in config.php define('awcs_forum_convert_latin', true); Many language Variables not displayed in the skin

2.) On my Wiki the <forum_info>...</forum_info> not working ...


1) can you post your lang file so i can test with it.

2) LPH, posted about this (here in this thread). The forum_tag has changed alittle.



Thanks for posting back, Kitsufox.
Will have to look into the update-script and older version of the forum.


LPH, what did you have to change in the skin templete ?

I edited:

Forum >> Admin >> Skin Templates >> all >> footer_whoshere

I simply replaced the lookup of the variable in the language file to simply "online" ... turns out what I edited didn't need to be --- the language file was a better place to modify.

Also, noticed spelling errors (i.e., Avatars as Advatars, etc...), these were easily changed in the lang_options ...

Okay... In my workings with the new software, I have a few concerns...

  1. Avatars only work if the user re-uploads their old one.
  2. On pages for viewing threads, you get "Notice: Undefined index: edit_count in /.../extensions/awc/forums/functions/post_phase.php on line 281" as an error at the top.

The CSS Editing though... That works PERFECTLY and wonderfully.

I sorted the avatar problem. I just forgot to upload stuff during the confusion of the fix.
Other problem still stands.

Also, is the Recent Posts page supposed to work? Or is that down at the moment?

Made some more changes, fixed a few things, noticed acouple more problems, will post a new download in the next day.

Alittle tid-bit for you all...
If you save your css file -
Forum >> Admin >> CSS - Theme > "Save as .css file" button
and then change "Run CSS off file ?"
Forum >> Admin >> Forum Config Settings >> General Option's to yes, it will help your forum pages load alittle faster. If you do that, one thing to keep in mind is if you edit your css after that, you will have to save the file again.

Doing that will create a css file (instead of embedding the css code in the web page) and then browsers will cache that file. Less info to pass from your servers to your clients and one less MySQL query.

Use 0 as the forum ID in the AdminCP and set the forum tag to "showall=true".
Will look into more options.

# On pages for viewing threads, you get "Notice: Undefined index: edit_count in /.../extensions/awc/forums/functions/post_phase.php on line 281" as an error at the top.

This has been fixed (its odd your the only one getting this error), if you want to make the change right now, goto line 281 and replace that line of code there with the following:
$to_skin['edit_count'] = isset($mem_Info[$this->p_userID]['edit_count']) ? $mem_Info[$this->p_userID]['edit_count'] : null;

That shuold to the trick.
Kitsufox, if you do make this change, can you do me a favor - before you make the change, ask the user who noticed the problem to go to their MemCP:
Forum >> User Control Panel >> Board Options
and just click the save button (no need in making any changes if they do not want to) and then see if the problem goes away. It does not make sense that your forum is the only one with this error.

Thanks to you all for helping out, and again, sorry for any problems which you have gone through.

That should be working, here and at your forums.

I didn't pursue having the user who noticed the error try that, because it's been EVERY user on the forum that I have talked to. I must have gotten a dozen reports of that particular error.

Instead I installed the fix. It appears that it's been resolved, but after my army shows up this evening (Central Standard Time, that is) I'll pop back here to followup and let you know for sure.

It is weird that it's just us... But we do use a lot of templates in forum threads, and we use a skin for the main wiki. Something there would have either exaggerated a problem that will be occasional at best on another forum. Code can be weird that way.

Everyone PLEASE re-download this 2.5 version.

http://downloads.anotherwebcom.com/wiki/updates/awc_forum_beta_2.5.rar
While at work tonight i noticed a problem with the pre tag which was not good.
You do not have to re-run the installer, just upload the files.

This is only a "quick fix", i will have to re-do some of that code, but i didn't want this problem to be public.



Other changes:
  • pre tags where not displaying correctly
  • Whoe's here page - now has links, title and breadcrumbs
  • Check on the words "Admin Control Panel" - if blank (because of language problem) will display text so link is clickable
  • Notice: Undefined index: edit_count (should be fixed, cant test it because i could not reproduce the problem)
  • Added search box back to main forum page (still needs work)
  • Screwy pages jumps, both in thread and forum page which lists the thread titles

Before the 2.5 beta download when't public, i ran alittle test on acouple peoples sites to see how much of a speed difference there was from 2.4.x to 2.5

The "test" was just viewing a few pages, then "right clicking - view source" and checking the
<!-- Served in #.### secs. -->
which wiki embeds at the bottom of the html source.
While viewing the source i refreshed the page three time and took note to the lowest/fastest number.

Heres what i came up with, top numbers are form 2.4.x and bottom are from 2.5
http://www.thechembook.com/index.php/Special:AWCforum
<!-- Served in 0.688 secs. -->
<!-- Served in 0.401 secs. -->

http://www.thechembook.com/index.php/Special:AWCforum/?action=sf/id6
<!-- Served in 0.983 secs. -->
<!-- Served in 0.410 secs. -->

http://www.thechembook.com/index.php/Special:AWCforum/?action=st%2Fid30%2FReading_Guide_22
<!-- Served in 1.019 secs. -->
<!-- Served in 0.674 secs. -->

http://www.thechembook.com/index.php/Special:AWCforum/?action=st%2Fid16%2F%7EFinals%7E
<!-- Served in 0.989 secs. -->
<!-- Served in 0.752 secs. -->






http://www.freggers-wiki.de/wiki/index.php?title=Spezial:AWCforum
<!-- Served in 0.915 secs. -->
<!-- Served in 0.397 secs. -->

http://www.freggers-wiki.de/wiki/index.php?title=Spezial:AWCforum&action=sf/id15
<!-- Served in 0.388 secs. -->
<!-- Served in 0.262 secs. -->

http://www.freggers-wiki.de/wiki/index.php?title=Spezial:AWCforum&action=st%2Fid7%2FVe...
<!-- Served in 0.644 secs. -->
<!-- Served in 0.395 secs. -->



There was two other sites which i tested but they have not tried the update.

In the end, even if the speed stayed the same i would have been happy being there has been a few big things added to 2.5, with faster load times like that is always good news.

Has anyone tried the poll option ?

Not sure if its noted anywhere, but...
After you submit a new thread (or even old threads) there now is a new link at the top of the thread near the "Quote" button which will let you create a poll.

I'd been looking for a way to create polls, but until you explained it, I hadn't noticed the new button. I put a test poll up and everything seems to be working fine.

One thing that a few of my users have said they'd like to see is the return of the 'last editor' indicator on the Recent Posts page. And I have to agree with them. It's nice to know if it's time for you to go again on the threads.

That should be there, maybe the text has been removed.
Can you looking under the lang section, general text and then '1indicator_newThreadOrPost'
