I think you can also try turning MyN back on - I find it best to DEACTIVATE MYN, upgrade Xthreads, reactivate. Though that fancy post rep plugin HATES Xthreads first posts....
Sorry to continue being off-topic, but I tried doing a 1.32 update to 1.337 with MyNetwork installed and active but I didn't get any (visible) errors. I also tried installing the plugins in different orders in case that was a cause but couldn't get anything.
Didn't manage to check the first post thing with the post rep mod, though I did see this in there:
PHP Code:
$plugin_cache = $mybb->cache->read("plugins");
if(in_array("xthreads", $plugin_cache['active']))
{
$GLOBALS['first_post'] = str_replace($search_array, $replace_array, $GLOBALS['first_post']);
}

Supposedly, this is a workaround I guess?
Hi Zinga
I was one of the first users of MyN and immediately recognised it did not play well with XThreads. I contacted Tomm and he modified my MyNetwork installation for me. I have not changed the modifications he made for me, or changed the files generally.
The biggest issue is templates (especially the first posts). I found that it saved me a lot of bewildered button pressing to just deactivate MYN, install any Xthreads updates and reactivate. Maybe its just superstition now, but I deactivate MyN, update Xthreads, activate MyN.
The first posts templates is a difficult one; first posts etc work well in Xthreads (of course) but I have not managed to get the plug in to work as I wanted - (thats custom Post Rep). I wanted it ONLY on first posts, and only on those forums where I had XThreads installed - to use it as a like/thanks button basically as it also works for guests. I never really managed to get it working and I had other priorities - so I kind of abandoned it.
Hi RateU, just wondering how you did the Featured Links on your demo site. Did you add the links in manually?
Do you mean the "Featured Links" in index of the demo forum?
If so, I use plugin for that. It will displaying all selected links in forum index. Similar to the newsbar or the displaying selected thread in index/portal.
But I think we can do that with template edit. Just use the URL "scheme" to get the thumbnail link automatically.

What exactly are the problems with MyNetwork? I might try out the post rep thing.
Hi Zinga, I put a bit of effort into making this work, and I found that all you have to do is add {$post['posttags']} into the postbit_first and postbit templates to get it to show up. This is for custom post rep.
I have not tried the other one yet.
Thanks for pointing that out.
I would like something like this:
Once the user submit the link it would appear for one of the admins to approve it before the thread is visible.
Is this possible?
I think you can do that by checking the Yes, moderate new threads checkbox under Moderation Options in Edit Forum page.
OK, I was trying to add new image links for NEW THREAD but I ran into a snag...if I change xtld_forumdisplay_threadlist to show this:
Code:
<div class="float_right"><a href="http://www.7173mustangs.com/newthread.php?fid=43"><img src="http://www.7173mustangs.com/images/addlink.png"></a>
</div>
|
Then all the new threads go into one category since I had to select one of the link directory categories (fid=43). How can I do this to make it work properly?

It is "better" I think if you create a new template in global template:
xtld_forumdisplay_newthread:
HTML Code
<a href="newthread.php?fid={$fid}"><img src="your_image_path/addlink.png" alt="{$lang->post_thread}" title="{$lang->post_thread}" /></a>
|
Or, you can put the code above directly in xtld_forumdisplay_threadlist.
BTW, may I put your Link Directory as one of the Live Demo in example application post, RocketFoot?
