does anyone know how to get this to work with vBadvanced CMPS v2.0

After installing this on 3.51 I just receive a blank page after uploading the file via product manager. Any ideas?

The one you had for 3.5 Beta where it was necessary to run the queries on the tables before installing works on another site I have. Just this one doesn't work on 3.51.

Did you do the template edits ?

This product will not install with 3.51 - I click on upload and get a blank page in the product manager.

I think this is a bit of poor feedback from the vb product install system.

This hacks install code adds an index to the post table. If you have a lot of posts, this can take time, during which nothing is displayed. Just leave it to install and it should be okay.

It fully hoses my server, Memory & CPU when trying to import this, even though it just shows a blank page it's obviously trying to do something.

PHP 5
MYSQL 5

Edit: Hoses the server when running just SQL statement too. Guess there is too many posts to alter the table.

Check your mysql process list while it's importing, what do they show ?.

Just blows out the Memory of MYSQL and you know what this can do when memory is up near maximum level.

Tried running ALTER TABLE post ADD INDEX (dateline) from MYSQL Control Centre. Same thing.

Worked fine on my board with 9000 posts.

I should really take my forum offline and try lol. Will take it offline later and try it and see what happens.

One question though, if I run the queries:

1. ALTER TABLE post ADD INDEX (dateline) ; - This will speed up the new posts query.

2. ALTER TABLE user ADD lastrepcheck INT(10) UNSIGNED NOT NULL ; - Required for new reputation check.

3. UPDATE user SET lastrepcheck = lastvisit ; - Initilise the new field above.

Then I import the new XML file will it try to rebuild the index? or will it just check and skip that part?

It will try again. It actually deletes any existing index and re-adds a new one.

To prevent it you will need to edit the xml and remove these lines ;

Cheers Paul. Will give it a go and let you know how I go. Keep up the good work :)

Worked well when forum was offline. 425 secs to Alter the posts table :)

Imported the new Modified XML file and it worked like a dream.

Cheers.

Only thing I've found with this on my test board is that if doing a getnew or getdaily search, if the search returns no results, the hack doesn't appear. It's fine if there ARE results though.

Yes - I blame vB for that ;) - the variables values are not carried over into the error page, I expect a global statement in the right place would cure it.

Thanks Paul.

You mentioned in the original post being able to switch off the new posts bit and just have the rep...I'd quite like to do this as, certainly on my main board (which is still on 3.0.10 while I work on a test board for upgrading), I have always found the new posts thing a bit too intensive on the server.

However, I'm still new to the whole plugin thing, where do I turn that bit off, or would I need to edit the code out of the XML file and re-import it?

In the plugin manager, just untick the "active" box for the relevant plugin and click save.

great mod, makes it much easier to keep tabs on what has happened without looking at the dates/times of all the threads(and still miss some)

thanks just what i have been looking for cheers

I would like to see a modification where that message shows up only if they HAVE rec;'d new reputation - if nothing new has been given, then no message would appear.

Just set the phrase "no_new_reputation" to nothing.

would it be possible to display only if there are new comments? So that people don't see the 'no new reputation comments'. It will only show up if there ARE new ones..

Erm, I just told you how to do that in the post above. :)

LOL - old lady brain - i forgot that I already asked..lol

Nice little addon !!

Installing this
Tnx a lot bro

Greetz

awesome ! installed !

You can't set a phrase replacement to "nothing." It has to at least have one character in it (space is ok I guess). however, it still ads in the newline <br> which causes the box to be one line larger than necessary.

If you have enabled true post read detection (not on by default) where VB remembers all new posts you've read and ones you haven't, then will the "new rep" count still be accurate since the last visit?

-vissa

The new reputation comments has nothing to do with read posts (or actually, with your last visit). It's new reputation comments since you last viewed them in the usercp - and new posts since your last visit.

Any way to make it work with vba cmps?

What do you mean exactly ?

Everything works perfectly in the forums. But in my homepage (CMPS), the new posts count dissappears.

Try adding $pcount and $rcount to the CMPS global variables list (in it's settings).

I just tried that, with and without "$", but neither worked. :(

Dunno atm then.

One forum I'm an Admin on has recently install CMPS so if I get time I'll have a look.

Found this thread:
http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/showthread.php?t=12593

Now everything works! I'm not sure why it didn't work for me the 1st time.

Ah good, I just came back to post that I tried it and it worked, but I see you're okay now. :)

Ah ok thanks for clearing that up. Since I'm only using the rep part, it would appear to work perfectly.

Thanks -vissa

NP - Feel free to click install :)

Clicked! (this is the only mod of about 20 that I forgot to click!)
