NewBB problem - post went to non-existant forum!

I just had a wierd occurance. One of my users said they posted to the forum, but their post did not show up.

I found their post in the Database, and everything seemed OK except for the topic_id is showing '60' the actual number is '61' (bb_posts_text). 60 does not exist as a topic yet.

Anyone else have this problem?

Re: Top 10 Referring USERS

Not looking too popular, but tracking who referred a user can help with promoting anyone's site. If you have your users advertising your site, it will only be more popular

Therefore I am bumping this to see if I can get someone to look into it

Re:News Block Module?

To clarify why it is a problem for me to have my news module as the homepage, I have this setup CURRENTLY on the news module:

1. Custom welcome block (center-top)
2. Last Posts to the message boards (center-middle)
3. News stories (center bottom)

This is the way I want it to look, but this creates a big usability issue:

1. If a user clicks on a topic icon, they are taken to what looks like the exact same page because the Custom block and last posts are at the top - to them, they do not notice that they have changed pages unless they scroll down the page.

I would like to have the home page (index.php) display a few like above, and if they select a topic, they are take to the news module with only the topics listed (not the custom block and forum posts block).

Does this make more sense?

Re:News Block Module?

rcjohnson -

I don't know if you are on the same track that I am trying to go down.

In the news module, the news is displayed - or each story teaser with 'read more' links etc.

I want the news to appear this same way, but on the home page (index.php).

I do not want to set the news as my home page - I have it this way already, and the layout I want just doesn't work the way I want it to - So I need a block that will display news on index.php the same way that it appears in /modules/news/

Is there a module that does this? The XOOPS system does not have an option to put news blocks on the index page (only a series of links to news stores) - unless I am not finding it - but I am pretty sure.

News Block Module?

Is there a module to allow you to put news stories in other pages with the same formatting that they have in the news module?

Re: User Activation Question - Referred by...

I guess this might be better as a module request - I have posted the request in there as it is probably more appropriate.

Thanks,

Top 10 Referring USERS

Users can use a special link to refer others to your site. This could work for recognizing your users who draw in the most member signups.

In my situation, I want to have a contest for users who refer the most signups. They can put a special link in their 'signature' on other mesaage boards, or sig in their email, etc... Likehttp://mysite.com/index2.php?referring_user=Predator

Then index2.php will cookie the user with 'Predator' as the referrer to my site. If the user signs up, and clicks the activation link in their email, the users.php page will check for a cookie called 'referring_user' and if present add a referral to Predators total. It could be used like the Top 10 Posters - it is just a Top 10 Referrers.

I could make it in regular PHP, but the OOP structure still eludes me - so I am requesting this Mod.

Thanks for reading!

User Activation Question - Referred by...

I am not an PHP expert, but I want to add a field to the users DB called "referred_by" (varchar, null).

When a user 'activates' (by pressing the activation link in their email) I want the resulting page to check for a cookie that I set previously and insert it's value into this 'reffered_by' field of the users table.

Basic flow: I am having a contest for who can refer the most users. They can make a link with their user name:
http://www.mysite.com/index2.php?referred_by=username

Index2.php will set a cookie:
<?
if (!isset($referring_user)){
setcookie ("referring_user",$referred_by,time()+86400,"/");
}
header("location:http://www.mysite.com");
?>

So now the cookie just sits until they activate their registration, it's value is inserted into the users table, then the cookie is cleared.

Can anyone help me put the code in to user.php to accomplish getting the cookie value into the db?

Thanks!

Re:Update cloned templates?

Arg - duh. Thank you so much! I actually have done that in the past - not sure why I forgot.

Thank you!
