Re: Some NewBB 2.0 questions

Actually hacked together something for this one:

2. Is there any way to get the anonymous posting option in specific forums and/or categories instead of system-wide?


I am never, ever going to use the prefix option, so I made it into an "Allow anonymous posts?" option instead. Works pretty seamlessly. So, *whew!* one down.

The thing that's really killing me is the corrupted thread problem. Does anyone have any insights at all? I've never seen this particular problem, and I ran a repair on the database to no effect. I'm quickly pulling my hair out on this one.

Some NewBB 2.0 questions

Just upgraded to NewBB 2.0 and it is BRILLIANT! A great leap forward. I have some questions related to the module, though, that I hope someone can answer:

1. Why can't I get any imageset other than default to show up in my preferences dropdown?

2. Is there any way to get the anonymous posting option in specific forums and/or categories instead of system-wide?

3. When I upgraded, all of the existing posts reverted to having the BBCode and HTML formatting turned off. Is there a way to turn that on system-wide?

4. Several of my threads (and I can't seem to find a pattern) now generate an "internal server error" when I click on them. Any clue as to what causes this and how to fix it?

5. What exactly is a "digest"?

6. What is the RSS feed supposed to do, exactly?

7. How do I make the default view one of posts "from the beginning"? I did this before, but the upgrade reverted it back and I can't remember how to fix it.

Again, GREAT JOB on this one! I am totally blown away!

HELP! Updated to NewBB 2.0 Final and all contorl panels are gone!

I updated from NewBBPro to NewBB 2.0 Final, following all of the instructions, and now every single control panel is gone. The Control Panel menu has all of the proper framework, but none of the control panels show up. Not only that, but before I did the update I turned the site off, but now it appears to be open. I ran a repair on the MySQL database, and that didn't help. I can't even access the control panels by using the direct URLs.

HELP!!!!

WF-Channel (Mime types)

I am working on a client site and they would like to use WF-Channel to create pages containing links to downloadable documents. Since there is minimal internet savvy among those who will be using the site, we'd like to make it so that they can upload the documents (mostly .doc, .rtf, and .pdf files) to the images directory using the same dialog that allows for upload of HTML files. The module does not allow this, however; ir rejects these files as being the wrong MIME type. How would I go about modifying the module to accept .doc, .rtf, and .pdf files?

Forum problem after upgrade

I just upgraded from 2.0.5 to 2.0.7.1 and at the same time put on the NewBB Pro hack, and one user (and it seems to be just this one user) is currently having a problem now. Here's what she told me:

Quote:

I log in...I see the "you are currently logged in as Athenia" message, I view posts or write one and when I try to submit, I get the log in screen again!


The "you are currently logged in as XXXX" is part of the theme; that hasn't changed. The thing that's wierd is her getting logged off while trying to post a message. Has anyone seen this?

dind't get correctly the remark in the code about wheter you have to modify templates or not. Looks like you have to rename them in my case


See? Eventually, you can do almost anything you want by yourself. (At least, that's what my wife keeps telling me... )

Unfortunately, I've got another thing (in addition to the MIME issue) that I can't seem to figure out. Some of the threads now use a new icon (called "red_user_folder.gif") to indicate their status, but for the life of me, I can't figure out what this icon is supposed to indicate. I thought it was "threads started by this user" but that doesn't seem to be it. Can someone enlighten this poor ignorant soul, please?

*makes puppy dog eyes*

Re: Newbb Pro (attachments, mark read ...)

Answered my own question: as long as you're careful, it seems to work just fine!

Only one problem now: i get an "unrecognized mime type" error when I try to upload attached files. Any thoughts on this, anyone?

Re: Autologin for 2.0.7

I *still* cannot get this to work!!!

For the life of me, I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I followed the instructions exactly.

Grr.

Re: Newbb Pro (attachments, mark read ...)

Does this hack work with 2.0.7?
