Re: Global Announcements - 1.0.5

Ok so now you've already updates to 1.0.4, the Error page has gone. I see that the error cause by you use multi language at Admin plugin so when it call the language (which is none) it goes to the Error page. Is that right? wink

But it still has a bug on it, Notice: Undefined variable: forum_id in ........

It looks like the problem at footer.php after

else if ($footer_style == 'viewforum' || $footer_style == 'viewtopic')

as an information, i also install Easy_Poll-1.0.6 and Colored_Usergroups-1.0.2 which is all made by you.

Please help me... thanks before..

Re: Global Announcements - 1.0.5

I see the problem the viewannouncement.php file uses the footer call for viewtopic.php. 1.0.5 will be out shortly.

Re: Global Announcements - 1.0.5

could not paste the full thing Smartys, don't know why something cover it. I'm newbie in php so sorry..!!

Ok then I'll wait for 1.05 but wait I found something...

when I saw at the DB tabel Topics at column forum_id it show that AP_Announcements.php don't send the correct number so it only fill with 0 (zero).

I hope that can help you finding the solutions... thanks anyway...

Re: Global Announcements - 1.0.5

The forum_id should be 0, as 0 will never be a valid id for a forum. I could have made the forum_id null but 0 just seemed nicer

Re: Global Announcements - 1.0.5

after I take a look at the code I found answer for myself, don't know is this the correct one but It can fix.

at viewforum.php line 249 replace

$icon_text .= ' '.$lang_forum['Announcement'];

with this

$icon_text .= ' '.$lang_common['Announcement'];

then at moderateannouncement.php start line 153 replace

<ul><li><a href="index.php"><?php echo $lang_common['Index'] ?></a></li><li> » <a href="viewforum.php?id=<?php echo $fid ?>"><?php echo pun_htmlspecialchars($cur_topic['forum_name']) ?></a></li><li> » <?php echo pun_htmlspecialchars($cur_topic['subject']) ?></li></ul>

with this

<ul><li><a href="index.php"><?php echo $lang_common['Index'] ?></a></li><li> » <?php echo $lang_common['Announcements'] ?></li><li> » <?php echo pun_htmlspecialchars($cur_topic['subject']) ?></li></ul>

What do you think Mediator?

Re: Global Announcements - 1.0.5

hmm, Well I'm not sure about the first error as when I went to fix it in the readme 

        if ($cur_topic['announcement'] == '1')
        {
            $subject = '<span class="stickytext">'.$lang_common['Announcement'].': </span>'.$subject;
            $item_status .= ' isticky';
            $icon_text .= ' '.$lang_common['Announcement'];
        }

Which is correct

As for the second one, people can use your fix, I would rather wait for more changes to release another version so quickly

I enjoy pie :)

Re: Global Announcements - 1.0.5

Hey, can I change version in this mod to make it work on 1.2.5 or it will be critical to the whole mod ?

Re: Global Announcements - 1.0.5

probably, why don't you try and see? chances are all mod 1.2+ will work with 1.2.5 (obviously there may be slight changes in line numbers etc)
