Hey,
I wondered how I would go about changing Cilla Black to Roger Lodge?

Performance.
If the Code is in a PHP File, it can be precompiled/cached => eAccelerator.

That's why I wrote a Plugin-slipstream tool for me :)

and you will surely share it with us, because you really appreciate us here, isn't it?!

;)

[OT]
Nope, this one won't be shared as it is really written crappy - and not PHP.
(Windows, written in Delphi)
[/OT]

*dunce cap* Duh...figured it out. :ermm:

is the script working fine? just thought I'd ask before I install

can i get that add on then?

If you do code an extension to this nexialys, I'm happy to give you credit and support stuff for this hack and to post instructions and such up above... or to link to another thread for you to offer it seperately, etc.

Still getting this error:
Fatal error: Unable to proceed with save while $errors array is not empty in class vb_datamanager_pm in /includes/class_dm.php on line 758

... nah, i don't plan to code it for the time being, i'm too occupied with the baby... if i do, i will contact you buro9...

Works fine for me....

Are PM's enabled on your system?

Admittedly I should be checking ;)

I have PMs setup using Promotions, not everyone can use them.

Is the current version free of any known bugs, ready to run on a 45,000+ member website? Do the phrases used follow proper grammer and spelling?

It is now ;)

Just updated to fix a PM usergroup permission bug. Also to reduce the size of the datastore (which caches all plugins!) and to allow eAccelerator to cache and compile, etc :)

I've just nabbed the last two hard-coded phrases too, and yes my English is adequate.

Thanks for the update :)

Couple of questions:

Can users turn this feature off if they don't want to be part of it?

What happens if the secret admirer is on someone's ignore list?

I haven't written such functionality, but there's no reason you couldn't create a custom field and then edit the MEMBERINFO template so that the link to admire that person doesn't show if they have decided to turn it off.
Currently it would still admire that person. I hadn't thought of this scenario (ignore lists are barely used on my forum).

Not sure what you'd want to happen in this case... the person who admires should think they've succeeded, but the person receiving shouldn't know about it.

Would silencing the communication be enough? But to let the admiration go through?

Where do we change the text sent via PM's/Emails?

how do you change it from cillia to something else?

Not sure how I'd do that with it being in options rather than profile .. VB is relatively new to me.

I would like to see the ignoring person not receive any notification at all ... ie. No PM from cilla.


What happens if a user clicks the same person loads of times ... is there any anti-spam mechanism?

There's two levels of anti-spam:

1) You can set a qty vs time based limit on the number of admirations a user can make against all other users. This is easier with an example: On my board users can admire a maximum of 3 people every 24 hours. So they can't just run around and admire everyone.

2) You can't admire the same person twice... it simply advises the person making the admiration that they've already admired that person, and perhaps it's time to send a PM to them and strike up a conversation.

Simply use a different user (that you create) and change the settings in the AdminCp to reflect the user you want to use..

AdminCp > Phrase Manager

The phrasegroup is: User Tools (global)
The phrases all start: secretadmirer_

You didn't upload the PHP file. It's in the instructions, the .php file is in the .zip file.

I'll try again but I know i did.

You were right I had the file in the wrong folder.

*Intsalled*

OK I have another issue. I don't see the link in a few members info. How do I make it so everyone has this?

*edit.* I figured it out.

My users simply adore the secret admirer hack, i laughed a lot when i got my first email saying 'i got two messages saying i liked myself whats going on?'

install for teenager forums definately. 9/10

I'm going to tell my forum of adults this ;)

clicked install..
btw buro9 how many admirer did u got? :P

Er, probably 70 or so.

The strange thing is that I match with lots of girls but never boys. I think the boys are kinda embaressed about admiring other boys. Such fools, I've admired a roughly equal number of girls and boys in the three years I've had the system installed.

Wow, great mod! Does this work for vb 3.5.x?

Yup :)

I'm really, really hoping for an opt-out for my users before I install this...could you take that as a suggestion?

//Edit

Thats Great

My Error coz of another thing

thanks

This looks really cool, I think I'll add this to my functions later on ;)

Does not work for me. Vers 3.5.3

Always says that you've already registered your admiration for that user.
