Request Forum Pointless?

I've posted like 4 or 5 requests, and not one has been filled. How come no one wants to fill requests? :(

I haven't seen your requests, but are they something that many people would benefit from or is it just something that is specific to your needs?

If it's a hack that many people will benefit from then your more likely to get a lot of positive response.

There are a lot of people on here willing to help

Most of them are ones that a lot of people could use.

A forum like this relies on the dedicated and kindness of those who want to help for free. Now, you can't expect every request to be filled, the forum is not for that. It's for people to make requests and give others ideas for a modification. I think you'll find a lot of requests get filled in that forum. But you can't possibly expect all of them to :)

I, too, do not seem to get my questions answered and am close to tears. :(

I'm having calendar problems -- my members can't use them and when I click on a calendar on the portal page, instead of taking me to the next month it takes me to a "page does not exist" page.

Also, while I, as the admin, can see the pictures and news articles down the center row of the 3-column portal page, nobody else can see it. What's wrong here?

Will somebody please help me so I can stop banging my head and getting a nasty bruise? Thank you.

And if I've posted in the wrong section, somebody please tell me so I can bang my head again and figure out the right place for my questions. :ermm:

SpottyPoo,

Now that you pointed it out, I'm having the same problem with my calendar (this is with vbindex). I found the problem in the calendar_smallmonth_header template. The link to calander.php is hard coded as calendar.core.

So, what does that mean? How do we fix that??

Actually, I checked out yours, and you seem to be having a different problem. Can you post your calendar_smallmonth_header template here?

I love the request forum, it gives me many ideas for new hacks that i could use.

If I have spare time, I'll go in the request forum and either find an easy mod and post a quickmod, or I'll find a good idea and make a large mod. My first "large" mod is in a usable-but-not-complete stage... It looks great, but I want it to have a lot more features. Anyway, my point is, people do use the request forum. Just give it some time.

i tend to use to suggest hacks, also it's a good read sometimes :)

I am getting more and more the feeling that people who know how to do so just don't for the reason perhaps that they just wait for someone to come to them and ask to code in exchange for money. It feels like becoming more and more a trend. Hopefully I am wrong.

SVTBlacklight -- can you see what's wrong??

HTML Code:

<tr>

<if condition="$show['dontshowweek']">

<td class="tcat" colspan="$colspan" align="left"><span class="smallfont"><b>$vba_options[portal_blockbullet] 

<else />

<td class="tcat" colspan="$colspan" align="center"><b>

</if><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/calendar.php?$session[sessionurl]month=$month&amp;year=$year&amp;c=$calendarid&amp;do=displaymonth">$monthname $year</a></td>

</tr>

<tr align="center">

        <if condition="!$show['dontshowweek']"><td class="thead">&nbsp;</td></if>

        <if condition="$show['day1']"><td class="thead">$day1</td></if>

        <if condition="$show['day2']"><td class="thead">$day2</td></if>

        <if condition="$show['day3']"><td class="thead">$day3</td></if>

        <if condition="$show['day4']"><td class="thead">$day4</td></if>

        <if condition="$show['day5']"><td class="thead">$day5</td></if>

        <if condition="$show['day6']"><td class="thead">$day6</td></if>

        <if condition="$show['day7']"><td class="thead">$day7</td></if>

</tr>

I had just given a heads up there. There are some really good hack ideas in there.

I have actually done many of them and are working, just going back and searching for all the documented code to make an installer and templates takes time which I dont have so I work on them little by little.

SpottyPoo,

Remove the $vboptions[bburl]/. That should fix it.

I'll be darned -- it sure did the trick!!! Thank you sooooo much SVTBlacklight! You don't know how happy you've made me... :)

Woops -- just noticed that when I click on a day that is highlighted as having an event, it takes me to the "non-existant" page again... :ermm:

SpottyPoo

08-21-2004 02:55 AM

Do you have a fix for that??

SVTBlackLight01

08-21-2004 03:07 AM

You may have to do the same thing to the calendar_smallmonth_day template.

SpottyPoo

08-21-2004 03:57 AM

Dang, you're good!! Thanks again, BlackLight!! :)

SVTBlackLight01

No problem. Glad you got it going.

I'm glad you brought up the issue as nobody (including me) had noticed the problem on my site yet.

SpottyPoo

08-21-2004 10:36 AM

Something else I've noticed -- I have created a category called News and I've set it so only I can see it listed on the forum. However, my unregistered/lurking people are not able to see the info from that forum that has been set to show up on the portal page down the center column.

What permission am I not changing correctly?? ;)

SVTBlackLight01

08-21-2004 07:27 PM

Is it hidden using forum permissions? The portal uses the forum permissions to display the threads. If you want to hide the forum, but display it on the portal page, set the display order to "0".
