It's described in the first post.

Dang nifty mod. Thanks.

PossumX clicks >>Installed<<

is this mod suppose to automatically have google.com in the options area of a users profile? reason im asking is when a user updates their options, other options, they get a error saying something like the panic link isnt set, and there isnt a address in that field automatically. i thought there was suppose to be. lemme know, probably causing confusion amongst alot of my members, i just found out about this.

Edit the settings where you set it up and check the "Field Required" option. Yes or no.

It seems that existing members do not get this automatically, I think I know why (but am not 100% sure yet), which is why the above quote is in the first post. But saying that, as this should be disabled, when they first turn it on, they can fill the field when they do so.

This does not happen when members sign up after this is installed, just existing members.

Once I find a solution for this (the easiest fix I can think of, off the top of my head, is to run a manual query from the admincp), it will be incorporated into the next version of this hack :)

Nice thanks !!! is there a way to heve it on by default ?

Yes, change the Options when setting up the Panic Button - ON/OFF Switch User Profile Field from:

To:

I have installed this as well and it is not showing up ... I followed the instructions to a T .. is there anything else that I need to do ????

I also checked the posbit and posbit_legacy and it was not there ... I edited it and added the script from the previous version ...

Still not working ...

DOH!!! Nevermind .. I had the wrong field # entered ... It works now ..

Thanks ..

i installed it as per instructions and the button does not show up
what did i do wrong?

You did steps 1 (if more than 1 style part) and 5 (you input the correct ids) correctly?
Did you set you panic button url in your UserCP?

As following the instructions exactly to the letter, will show the panic button.

i have done these things
the on/off options show up in the user cp but the panic button does not

In that case, [s]I will need to look at your installation to see what is going wrong.

What I will need to do so, is for you to PM me your site address, temp ftp details, a temp admin user (with admin permissions - Can Administer Settings for editing options and Can Administer Plugins for editing products and plugins, Can Administer Users for editing User Profile Fields and Can Administer Styles for editing templates) without this I can not help you. I will look when I have time, I can not guarantee that I will be able to fix it, but I will definitely have a look at it.

You can revoke the temp details once I am done.

If you do not want me to look at your installation, then[/s] there is nothing I can do to help further.

very nice. :)

i'd also like to say that i'm impressed at the .pdf instruction file....very thorough!

thank you for the add-on.

Thank you for the compliment, I am glad you like the hack :)

Mosh, out of curiousity, is there a way to make all of my members use google?

i know current members would have to enter the url into the box and google is a default for newly registering members but was wondering if google could be made as mandatory.

my site uses Dismounted's vbAnonymizer because we want to prevent the referrer information from being sent so my only worry is if someone entered a certain url which we wouldn't want.

cheers. :)

Yes, it is possible, but not the way this hack is at the moment, you would have to do some alterations.

You would probably have to alter Step 3, setting Field Required to Yes, Always and Field Editable by User to No

You would also probably have to run some form of SQL query to set everyone's Panic Button - URL Jump to the url you want them to use.

So, the only thing they would have control over is turning the panic button on and off.

I have not tested this, and am not really interested in pursuing this, but that is probably the way I would do it, and so the above is just general advice.

ok, tnx again. :)

hello Mosh.

i couldn't find the answer in the paragraph just above the installation instructions section here.

my question is in whether or not the actual address of http://www.google.com is supposed to show in the address bar of my browser after clicking the Panic button

when i clicked my panic button, it indeed takes me to google but my site url still shows in the address box rather than http://www.google.com

i'm using IE7 if that makes a difference.

cheers. :)

I don't know why that is happening to you.

I have just testing the panic button in Firefox, Opera, Chrome and IE7 and can not replicate this, sorry.

i'll try again in a couple days as we are currently upgrading our server.

i'll also try reinstalling it.

if i still see the same thing after reinstalling, i could create an account for you if u wanted to see first hand, depending on your freetime of course. :)

Is there a way to make this allowable to only certain usergroups?

Your answer is in post #17 and post #19.

Can you provide a sql query so that all existing member get it activated & set google as default panic url

That would be nice to have a SQL query do this, esp for those of us with larger forums and more users.
