This is another one of my 'all in one' hacks, this time without the 'latest posts' part.

Features

Turn on/off each option. An individual setting
Alter the amount of rows to retrieve (ie. only get 10 recent threads)
Easy access to used SQL queries, so advanced users can alter the SQL to get extra information.
Uses phrase system
Fully customizable templates
Latest Threads can be from only forums you specify, or from forums that the current user has permission to see. Deleted threads are not shown.
Online Users Today shows invisible marks to those who can see them, and shows open/close tag (ie. admins are bold and italic).
Dates uses vbdate function, which uses your date string in vboptions
Installer for phrases and templates!
+ more

Support
I can offer limited support for this hack. I wrote it for my forum, and its workin' pretty good. If you find any problems, post'em here and I might find some time to help you out. Just back up all your data before you apply anything, as goes with all hacks!

Demo
Online demo (with some template edits, I might add!): http://www.DevBoxForums.com

Notes
I didn't have the time to edit the default templates, so I don't think it's too pleasing out-of-the-box. If someone would like to spice it up a notch and submit it here, I'd be glad to include it in the actual package.

Installation
Upload devbox_work.php to your forum root path, as well as the devbox_install directory. Navigate your browser to devbox_install/install.php and follow onscreen instructions. You will need your database username and password simply for authentication to start the installer.

Should I install this hack? Is it buggy? Etc
I've been making the installer for a little while and I must've run it at least a dozen times throughout and I haven't had any errors. But thats only me. Before people can install it for themselves and see how it goes, I can't say much.

Troubleshooting / Common Problems
If you end up running the phrase step or template step more then once, you'll probably get mysql errors complaining about duplicate entries. You can go in phpMyAdmin into the phrase/template tables, sort by the primary key so oldest is first, and delete all the devbox related rows.

Template Variables
Since this hack is obviously lacking some default-template looks, I thought I'd go over all of the variables you can use. If you want more, you'll have to edit the SQL queries under 'Section 2'. All variables are accessed through the $data array. Example: $data[threadid]

Latest Threads
- threadid - The ThreadID. Used in URL's mostly
- title - Thread title
- replycount - The number of replies the thread has
- views - The number of views the thread has
- lastposter - The username of the last poster
- posterusername - The username of the thread starter
- posteruserid - The UserID of the thread starter
- forumid - The ForumID of the the forum the thread resides in
- forumtitle - The forum name the thread resides in
Newest Members
- userid - The UserID of the member. Usually used in URL's
- username - The username of the member
- date - The readable joindate of the user. If for some reason you wanted the timestamp, use joindate
- posts - The number of posts this member has
- opentag/closetag - The open/close HTML tags for this member. (ie. Admins are generally bold and italic)
Top Posters
- userid - See above
- username - See above
- posts - See above
- opentag/closetag - See above
Online Today
- userid - See above
- username - See above
- invisible - The invisible mark shown next to invisible users. Set to '*' to members that are hidden users, and set to '' (nothing) to those who are not. Note: Hidden users are only shown on the list if the user viewing the page has permission to see them.
- opentag/closetag - See above

I'm getting the line 180 error as well. Any ideas what is going on here?

Also where would I find this FORUMHOME thing??

domelor · #57 11-27-2004, 10:20 PM

Guys the line 180 error is driving me crazy..... anyone can help?

boo.3 · #58 11-30-2004, 10:57 PM

what username and pass am i sopossed to use?

Imperial Fritz · #59 12-02-2004, 07:06 PM

Trying now.

Btw minor spelling error at the last step, last sentence: "Everything fron turning it off..."

EDIT:

Hm, do I have to manually do those replacements?

I get the same three errors (line 81 and 180) after following the install :ermm:

Imperial Fritz · #60 12-02-2004, 07:40 PM

OK. I looked again over the install and obviously I thought it will do the replacements on its own. So I did them and all worked. You should make it clear that these replacements have to be done by hand and place on a visible spot what file needs to be edited.

And I still get the errors with devbox_work.php

EDIT:

I think I found the problem - it's in us trying to open devbox_work.php as a page, whereas it's actually just a collection of functions that get included in the index.php page. There is no way it can be viewed separately. To change the settings you manually edit it and reupload it.
