TAV1702 Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 Has anyone ever figured out how to make it so that it shows when new posts have been made? I am trying to use the code to show latest posts on the front page but I am having no such luck getting a new posts icon or notification to show up in the forum.

Felipe Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Hello, everyone! I'm having problem with the charset using this add-on. My language is portuguese. It has accents into some words. This, for example, should be... não tão bom, mas no momento não há diferença ... and it is being shown as... n?o ? t?o bom, mas no momento n?o h? diferen?a It has to be something inside the add-on, because on other parts of my site and add-ons it does not happen. Does anybody know how to solve it? It would be very appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators servetas Posted November 28, 2012 Moderators Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 From your phpmyadmin... Go to your database and then inport this file into your database. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freshJet Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Or just open the file and copy it into phpmyadmin and run it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators servetas Posted November 28, 2012 Moderators Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 To link to the forum index use -> <a href="<?php echo url('/Forum'); ?>">Forum</a> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighFlyerPL185 Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 Great add-on Tom, I was looking for ages on how to link the phpBB forum with the phpVMS DB's, before realizing that phpBB is actually utter rubbish compared to all forum software out there. I was wondering, as a suggestion but also as a cheeky request, is there any possibility of adding Sticky Posts feature? I'll try to have a crack at scripting it if I'll get some time this week, but with my limited PHP knowledge, I probably won't get far. I'll see how I go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freshJet Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 I have thought about that before, should be quite simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freshJet Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 NOTE: In order for my code to work you need to add name="message" to the textarea otherwise the message will not appear. Also, be sure to remove the PHP that removes HTML tags (found in the core/modules/Forum/Forum.php under new post, edit post and new topic functions) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAV1702 Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 Ok the million dollar question. Has anyone ever figured out how to show an image or something in the forum index if there is a new post made? I have recent posts on my front page of my site but I don't like it being there. I have tried until I was blue in the face and I can not get it to let me know if there is a new post or not to show and imjage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAV1702 Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 After I've finished my last exam I'll have a look further into the permissions. As for the line breaks, when adding a message you should use nl2br($message); and then when displaying the message you can use ForumData::br2nl($message) I hate to kick this up again, I did this once before and it worked. I have since replaced my files and now don't recall where I used this at. Can you give me a quick refresher Tom? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted February 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 Checked the code on github it seems to do that already. If you download a fresh copy and try does it do it? Looking back over this now it clearly needs rewriting, this can all be done so much better. I just have no time for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAV1702 Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 I actually got it solved. Thanks for replying though Tom. And boy do I know how time goes. I try and squeeze this all in when I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAV1702 Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 Hi Tom. Long time nochit chat. Hope all is well your way. I just bumped in to something after using the forum the last few years. I have had this happen twice now. I will use you and I as the example. Here is the order of the problem: 1. Tom posts a new post 2. Ray replys to the post and submits. 3. Upon returning to the the forum I just replied to Tom in, there is no reply. Only the original post. 4. Ray checks the database to find that the data for the reply was entered in to the database correctly. 5. Ray checks latest forum posts on front page and it shows that I was the last to post but yet when clicking that link and going to the forum, there is no reply at all. 6. No matter if I go to the forum directly, or through the link from the latest posts, the reply will not be there. 7. Having others try to reply, same thing happens. Only the OP's post shows up. No replies. Odd to say the least. This has only ever happened twice and it was to 2 different people about a month or two apart frome ach others occurence. No matter what I do, I can not recreate this problem. Ideas? Thoughts? Concerns? Lets chat! On a side note, Any way to get http://forum.phpvms.net/topic/5342-to-get-the-pagination-for-the-schedules-to-work/page__hl__datatables that to work in the forum? My topics listing is getting quite long. I have tried to get that to work only to fail miserably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Hello, everyone! I'm having problem with the charset using this add-on. My language is portuguese. It has accents into some words. This, for example, should be... não tão bom, mas no momento não há diferença ... and it is being shown as... n?o ? t?o bom, mas no momento n?o h? diferen?a How can I move file to configure the language of the forum?

Felipe Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Use Notepadd++ to edit all the add-on files. On the menu "Format" switch all of the to "UTF-8 without BOM". That's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Are all files or just have some that I can change? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted March 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 No you don't need to edit files you need to edit the database settings. Go into phpMyAdmin and change the charset on all the forum_ tables. And TAV1702 sorry I missed your post, best place to get me is on skype That's not a problem I've heard of before, and it's hard to work out why it would ever happen without seeing it. Add me on skype and we can talk it through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 Tom, Thanks, what I thought was the APP.CONFIG.PHP Line's 35,36,37 # Page encoding optionsConfig::Set('PAGE_ENCODING', 'utf8'); Config::Set('DB_CHARSET_NAME', 'utf8'); I change to "UTF-8 without BOM" Unfortunately it did not work the problem continues.
