[Done 1.5.x & 1.4.1] Application Mod

[Nathan_T]

David,

This is my first time creating a forum so I'm a newbie at this.

Can you explain that to me a little better. I'm not sure how to do that.

Thanks,
Nathan

1. go to www.boardmod.org
2. download the boardmod program, put the .mod file into YSE 1.5.1 directory (if it doesnt exist, create that directory inside /mods directory)
3. extract yse safe mode version (if u don't have one yet)
4. point the boardmod to your yse index.php
5. run the mod
6. if everything goes fine, upload all the changed files
7. upload application_dbmod.php and execute it with your browser

What is the possibility of having the option of a GLobal Mod being able to view and approve/ reject applications?  Just it would proove very useful in my setup...  

Also how compatible is it with other mods for 1.5.1

[Spaceman-Spiff]

hmm... u can do that if u take out the functions from Admin.php and make a new file, example: Application.php, then put the functions and do the admin/global mod validation there

Also how compatible is it with other mods for 1.5.1

it depends on which mod u're trying to install, it should work with most 1.5.1 mods

OK let me ask this, only just getting into the manual side of changing things in files and mods, exactally would one do to set Admin's and Global mods to view and have access to the waiting applicantas..

Also in addition,  when I go and view the applicants waiting I see this:


Applied date: $time
IP: 139.86.186.50
Message:$row[message]

I am sure $time is supposed to show the time and $row[message] the message they leave, in addition to other posts can someone tell me what needs t be done to fix this...

I'm trying to learn all these things so that I can better my skills, hence I'm asking...

[Spaceman-Spiff]

hmm... did you install the mod using boardmod or by hand?
maybe you're missing a line or something

[Overseer]

i get

"An Error Has Occurred!

You are not allowed to access this section "

when a user tries to sign up


(1.5.1 final, used boardmod and it gave no errors + upped register2.php to sources :/ )

[Spaceman-Spiff]

hmm... actually i haven't tested the mod after changing the filename...
have u uploaded the new index.php?
can u provide a url to your forum?
i'll try to test it when i get home

[Overseer]

 

url : www.dubcc.com

i've uploaded all new files, i modded the update package before i uploaded the whole lot.


update: just double checked index.php got upped ok to be sure... its fine tho

[Spaceman-Spiff]

sorry, i forgot one thing when i renamed Register.php into Register2.php
in index.php, search for:

Code Select Expand

      'register' => array("$sourcedir/Register.php", 'Register'),and replace it with

Code Select Expand

      'register' => array("$sourcedir/Register2.php", 'Register'),
i forgot to change this, will do it in the next release fix

I installed it using Boardmod which was a shock because when I way back tried using boardmod to install it it didn't like it...

[Spaceman-Spiff]

released version 1.2a, this should fix version 1.2's registration problem

[Overseer]

ok handmodded.. seems like it works.. but I now have the other problem reported by stitch above..

Applied date: $time
IP: 217.39.114.34
Message:$row[message]

btw.. one thing that confused me from the previous version i was using (for 1.4.1)

the readme file says...

- go to Forum Settings in admin section and check the checkboxes for: "Disallow guests from doing anything but login or register?" and "Email Random Password to New Member Upon Registration?"

the piece in bold doesnt matter does it....

[Spaceman-Spiff]

it's optional
but the "send random password on register' is a must

i haven't really had the time to test the mod actually
i'll try to do that and see what causes the IP address not displaying properly after i finish my exams

[Overseer]

yeah i know the other is a must  

ermm IP is the only thing that does work ok... lol

it works ok now... got post this on notify so i'll be able to mod again after you've been able to get the the sign up message & time bits sorted
