Great addons ChrisTERiS but please try to update release compatible with vb4.2, thanks for your time :)

Looks very cool. But I want to upgrade to 4.2 next week and because of that, I will wait until this mod is compatible before installing it.

Looks like a great mod - one of the best in a while really.

I installed it on V4.1.12 p2. There is a conflict - at least for me - with DragonByte Tech: vBEditorTabs (Lite) Clicking on Answers on the nav bar displays all the smilies. Disabling VbEditor Tabs they go away. Hopefully that info helps you some.

I have four different styles and it doesn't display correct on any of them - including VB default. I did get a 4.2 style to work for a few minutes but I am not running 4.2.

If the display of this mod is repaired I think it would be a mod of the year contender. Thanks for developing this mod and I look forward to the updates.

Hi Chris
thanks for your mod its fantastic mod
I saw your signature on the top "... not install VBB 4.2"
but i tried it
1 bug i found myselft is navbar is not show "discuss" the rest of them seems to be okay to me, and i have an question is how can i add the term of use

thanks for advance,

By not showing the navtab is an incompatibility, right? :-). I know how to change it, just need to find some free time to do it.
For the terms you need to edit the file at: discuss/includes/terms.php
HTML is allowed there, but better use simple tags only (eg bold, headline etc).

Chris

thanks Chris

one more thing i acknowledge that is the editor box for "Post your Answer.." all icon it not show and arrange as order tool editor too, it replace by red x icon

again, thanks

Excited about this MOD and looking for 4.2 version.

hello all
by the article for new navbar code on VB 4.2
after i install this mod i went to navigation manager to add the Discuss for Navbar
it worked fine!

thanks Chris to share a great mod for us,

note: you can also add subtitle on the navbar too, such as discuss_modcp or discuss_usercp all of them worked fire to me :))

Just now I'm working on the navigation:). Yes, everyone can add any type of menu to link anything. But its good to have it done automatically.

Chris

Hello,

I just released the file discuss_1_2_5_vB4_2_0.zip which is compatible with vB 4.2.0. To upgrade you must import the product-discuss.xml and upload the files discuss.php, discuss_usercp.php and discuss_modcp.php

For those who have manually build a navigation menu, I suggest to remove it and add my own, as it has permissions on what menu options are visible to whom.

Thank you
Chris

absolutely, I will … Chris
thanks for your time and again that is a great mod

one more thing should I ask you Chris
it is not compatible with mobile style on vB 4.2.0
the issue is a blank page when I switch from default style to mobile style
do you still have time to play around with it right Chris. :-)

well, I have no luck.... update the new file and re-install the newest version that you just released
no navbar show at all

Have you deleted your old navigation menu? Even if I used unique names for it, the whole menu is assigned to Discuss product, and I suppose that every product can has only one tab.
You can see it working at: http://www.christeris.net/vb42/discuss.php

Edited: Also clear your browser's cache.


Chris

Haven't checked the mobile style. The reason is that I'm coding seperate versions for mobile users, to eliminate the amount of queries. Its not good approach to use the same code for mobile users, as not all features are needing.

Here is an example of my Classifieds mobile version:
http://www.christeris.net/vb4/mobilt...o=main&catid=0

and here from my Gallery Mobile:
http://www.christeris.net/vb4/mobilgalleri.php

as you can see even the menus are different, using buttons and dropdowns.

Chris

I am getting database error while trying to import the product through admincp in my 4.2 VB

Hey, nice mod!

Just installed, but my interface looks far different from yours.

edit: I confirm same issue with default VB skin

Please post the database errors, otherwise how I can understand what's going wrong?

Chris

Hello,

A new version for vB4.2.0, with new features is available for download.

1.- Added a tab "Resolved Questions" in homepage
2.- Added a Tab "Questions" in user profile
3.- Added some info in postbit
4.- Fixed some design errors especially in sidebar

Maybe there are other features too, but is almost 2 months that I have added them, and don't remember them.

To upgrade please upload ALL the files, and import product-discuss.xml

Chris

Here are the error messages:
Database error in vBulletin 4.2.0:

This means that you have did an unsucessfull uninstallation before, and the field discuss in usergroup table left behind. My opion is to uninstall the product, and the check if any of the fields below are still there:
Table: usergroup ... field: discuss
Table: user ... fields: discuss_questions, discuss_replies, discuss_winner
If you find any of them, remove it. Then try a new installation.

Chris

Hello Chris. New version still works with vb 4.1.12? Or it's for vb 4.2 Only ?

Thank you !

No, it does not!!. All new updates from now on, are for vB4.2.0+. If you try to install it on earlier version, you'll get a warning message.

Chris

Still having same problem after upgrade.

My installation is at: http://www.christeris.net/vb42/discuss.php
If you're seeing something different, then something is wrong with your styles. In any case you can change the discuss.css to see if something changes. Also clear your browser's cache.

Chris

It looks great! Thanks a lot.

Nothing wrong with my styles. I confirmed with you same issue with default vb style. I cleared my cache, did a hard refresh, flushed system cache too.

Hope we can figure this out together as I'd love to use your mod my friend

What do you mean? That my installation has problem? What exactly? As I seen in your screenshot, the difference is on the Ask block, the tabs below and the sidebar. Am I right?
Also I need you url to check it.

Not your installation, but something on my end is not working the right way. I'm running 4.2.0 VB (release not beta). I just noticed that the vb style does work right on my end now after clearing system cache. The custom style doesn't though. Frustrating a bit.

My site is in maintenance mode, but what info can I give you to check this please?

Just the URL is enought. I have a thought that you're using something incompatible. eg prototype.js in most cases conflists with jquery used by vB and my mod.

I searched for prototype.js and all I got was a few results from search templates

Any other idea? I heard VSA plugins cause conflicts too.

Then again, its not conflicting in the default vb style.

The last that I can suggest you is to copy the content fo discuss.css to vbulletin.css in case that vB does not loads it.
As for the default style. vB uses a minimalist version of juqery just for lightbox, while I'm using the normal version.

Chris

Thanks, that worked 99%. The only thing is trying to replicate the rounded corner cat strips on the mods sideblock. I'll see if I can figure this out.

Thank you so much for your awesome mod and great support!

I realize I won't figure this out on my own :D sorry

This is a sample code for default tagcloud sideblock. How can I replicate the look to your mods sideblock? Thanks in advance.

This is an awesome Mod! I just recently installed it, workiing fine but the avatars are not showing up.

the discuss page is here: http://tsikot.com/forums/discuss.php

The image file link seems to be off... it is

http://tsikot.com/forums/forums/cust...atar1092_2.gif

when it should be: http://tsikot.com/forums/customavatars/avatar1092_2.gif

which template/file should i edit to remove the additional /forums? i guess this is the only bug that i am seeing so far. Thank you in advance!

I also seen that double "forum" in the link, but its not something wrong from my side (code or template). I'm using the correct coding to get the useravatar and the correct call to the forum directory. That's why it works in my site. Check your vB settings for Forum URL and in Avatars section for the link to your avatar folder.

Chris

Thanks Chris! problem solved. The URL to avatars (Relative to your forums home page) setting in the User Picture Storage Type was wrong.

Expanded moderation tools would be a huge boon here, ideally I'd like to see everything that the main forum product allows one to do (edit, soft delete, hard delete, infract, close, and report questions/answers), but I'd currently be happy just for the ability to delete. The forum I help moderate is testing this mod for a crowdsourced support desk of sorts, and the lack of policing ability is currently a huge turn-off point. While I'm sure it'd be mostly trivial for me to modify the code to allow this sort of thing, I have better uses of my time plus I'm sure many other users would desire this feature as well.

Some of them will be in the PRO version. Actually by mistake I published version 1.4.0 which was to be the 1st PRO release.:eek:
I believe that current features are more than enought for the majority of users.

Chris

PM settings would be nice. I would think getting 1 per answer would get a bit annoying.

I see that there is a place in the usergroup permissions to choose whether or not to moderate posts, but I do not see of an area to moderate comments.

Is there a way to enable moderation of comments as well to prevent potential spam?

Before someone posts a question, they have to read and agree to the Terms of Use.

Is there a way to disable the requirement for someone to agree to the ToS? Currently, they are forced to check the box before the "Submit" button appears. It may be nice to disable this feature altogether.
