Yes... Just checked... this should've been picked up by the beta testers How did you all install it, eh?

I left some extra quotes in two of the templates... these were the alert_email and alert_pm templates.

I'm just going to update the installer for you... but in essence, where you find $vboptions['bburl'] just make it $vboptions[bburl]

Sorry for that... updating now

D'oh.. I should have picked up on that one too!
Installed and working well.. Not sure how popular this will prove to be though, as mentioned.

I guess we'll soon find out.!

Is there a limit for the # of admirations a person can use. I can really see this getting very out of hand. My forums is mostly females so instead of everyone just admiraring everyone I would like a limit this as Buro9 asked aswell.

Proving successful then

I was considering adding limiters to the code as this was suggested on my board. The debate has continued though, and whilst a small minority are making a large number of admirations... the majority are only making one or two. Yet it is the small minority who are encouraging the majority to participate... and as no member can admire someone twice the minority do run out of steam eventually.

As such, I don't think I will be adding limiters to it for my benefit.

However, now it's stable I am thinking of doing a set of improvements to make it easier for others to offer translations and to take better advantage of the phrase system in VB3.

So if you can think of ways in which to define limitations (a maximum X admirations in the last Y days?) then I will consider including them as an option in the next version (hopefully still before Kier can get VB3 to gold).

I modified your notification messages and did not see that error.

Anyway, nice to see people installing this hack.

Well my forums are pretty much for others to hook up and since 90% are girls that are bi this is really going to get out of hand. Every will just admire everyone. Then just wait for someone to say it in return. Instead of just doing the ones they like they just select everyone.

1 a week is fine with me. Or 3 a month. Something like that.

For most sites I can't see this being much of a problem but I'm mostly on gaming sites or something like that is why. But on chit chat and people meetin sites I can see this being very used. In the first 2 weeks up and running I had people just join the site just to PM girls. So I had to limit PM access to users that actually post. I've talked it over with some of the other admins about this mod and they all love the idea of it just want it to have a limit.

OK, I've added the ability to enforce limitations that you define... if you enable this feature it is one additional database query.

The changes I've made to accommodate this:
* Created two new indexes on the table to increase lookup speed - this is an optional thing, new installs will benefit from it.
* Created new config and code within functions_secretadmirer.php - you will need to re-upload this.
* Changed the code in profile.php - you will need to upload this again.
* Added a phrase to declare the limit is exceeded.

Rampag33, can you install the version I've attached to THIS POST and let me know if it solves your needs.

If it does and there were no errors, then I will replace the zip file in my first post.

[Oblivion Knight]

Just to let you know I've updated to the latest zip..
All seems to be running well so far, haven't had time to test the limit yet but I'm sure it'll work..

[Rampag33]

Alright thx. Downloading Will install after work today.

[Rampag33]

Install no problems to report yet

Thx!

I have it set to 3 admirations in a month and the only error was human error forgot to remove the table_prefix on installation

Thx for a great hacc
