Title: FamilyForum Changelog:
Post by: Ken on March 20, 2011, 12:09:36 PM
In recent weeks we've been doing a lot of 'behind the scenes' work on Our FamilyForum so that it could be brought up to date with current versions of our various software packages, plus cleaning up old files and code to get everything working smoothly again.

Most of the work had been taken care of by Skhilled and he has certainly earned his new Admin badge with all that he's had to do getting it all sorted out.
Good job Steve.  :2thumbs:

The following list will detail some of the packages that have been updated or added.
NOTE: A lot of the work that Steve has been doing involves edits to code and files that are part of the software platform and most of those edits won't get posted in this topic.



Site Packages:
1/ Upgraded site to RC5... 'This Simple Machines Forum' software is the basic foundation of our site and RC5 is the latest version.

2/ TinyPortal RC1 for RC5... TP is the package we use to add 'CMS' like features to the site.

Updated Mods Installed:
Aeva Media 2.012... updated to v2.10.
TinyPic Plug-in 1.0.0
Footnotes 1.08

Re-installed the 'reCAPTCHA' registration security Mod... Lately we've been getting lots of spammers signing up for accounts here on the FamilyForum, so I've added some extra security to the registration process to try and keep them at bay.   :08:

We've used it before and it helps a lot, so hopefully it will keep a few of them out this time around.

Here's what the reg screen looks like with reCAPTCHA turned on:

I've been meaning to check on that over here. I've been getting a ton of them trying to register at my site (and at other sites a lot lately) but Stop Spammer and httpBL puts them in Awaiting Approval. I still have to report them and them reject them and was getting up to 20+ per day.  :yikes:

So, I checked my settings and did not have the verification questions turned on. After I turned it on it seem to have stopped them from registering at all...so far.  :innocent:

Most of them seem to be from Russia and have .ru in their email. They are also part of the Xrumer spam group. :P

Looks like the reCAPTCHA has slowed them some.  :bigthumb:
Title: Re: FamilyForum Changelog:
Post by: Skhilled on June 23, 2011, 08:51:01 AM
I have reCAPTCHA on one of my sites but one or two still get in. On my main site, I just used the verification questions and do not use questions that require numbers like "What organ human pumps the blood?"...answer "heart".

I haven't had one register or even in awaiting approval for 2 days now. :)
Title: Re: FamilyForum Changelog:
Post by: Ken on June 23, 2011, 10:17:55 AM
The registrations have let up for now and if you check the ban log it is only showing a few hits, so maybe this wave is about over.  :08:
Of course they'll be back soon enough!

Post by: Ken on July 04, 2011, 05:00:10 PM
Just discovered that our custom '404 Error Page' got turned off at some point, so I've just re-set it. The problem was our .htaccess file, for some reason the file was blank and it needs a re-direct code in that .htaccess file so that when the 404 error page is called it will show our custom page... it likely happened during on of the updates to our SMF files.
Anyways, it's fixed now.  :bigteeth:

Busy is right! I tried to reinstall the PmxBlog even though it showed file errors and paid the price... the whole forum went blank and I had to start all over again.  :opps:

Yeppers... might have to reload SMF and reinstall all of the mods again.  :opps:
Title: Re: FamilyForum Changelog:
Post by: Ken on July 07, 2011, 12:43:13 PM
OK, me did it!  :hah:

Reloaded SMF 2.0 and TinyPortal 1.0 RC2 and that got all of the errors to stop filling up the logs, except for an error for the 'Highslide 4 SMF' mod... it was showing an error even though it had not been reinstalled. Once it was reinstalled the error went away.

So, now the process of reinstalling all of our mods begins all over again.  :08:

Thanks to a TIP (http://www.docskillz.com/docs/index.php?topic=763.0) from Skhilled (http://www.ourfamilyforum.org/FamilyForum/index.php?action=profile;u=142) we are now "Mobile-Friendly" here on Our FamilyForum!  :banana:

(https://www.ourfamilyforum.org/gallery0/64-220415101528.png)

This officially supported mod released by SMF is in response to a new "mobility-friendliness" check that Google has put in place. This mod should address those issues. But it may or may not work with your current themes or mods. Read about it here:

http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=535720.0 (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=535720.0)

This is mostly for mobile devices since SMF themes are not very mobile-friendly.

You can check to see if your site meets Google's standards for mobile-friendliness here:

Just updated TinyPortal to TP 1.110

Title: Re: FamilyForum Changelog:
Post by: Ken on July 01, 2015, 05:23:58 PM
Noted so far with TP 1.110:

Shoutbox;
1/ [... found by Mick] Clicking on a users name in the Shoutbox takes you to your own profile page... should go to theirs.

2/ Clicking on a user name in the Shoutbox while you are not logged in will take you to an error page, "The user whose profile you are trying to view does not exist."

3/ Header text not working... I thought that it was setup the same as the Shoutbox over on the TinyPortal site, but while it works there it's not here.

Thanks Ken, all bugs confirmed.  Hopefully fixed (thanks to bloc) and will be available very soon.  This one won't have the sticky shouts, but will have the header text, like the one at tinyportal.net  :thumbup:

EDIT: forgot to also mention, the clickable usernames will also be included.

We're doing an all out rebuild of our forums file system!  :happy1:

Skhilled worked on the SMF files that form the foundation of the site and the forums here on OFF, he basically loaded in a fresh install of the site.
Mick worked on the TinyPortal files and provided guidance to me so that Bloc's latest version of TP (TP 1.1) is now installed.   
When I type it like as in the above it sounds simple, but it's not so simple... it takes years of studying these forums codes for someone to reach a level of skill like Steve and Mick.

Thanks to both Steve and Mick for all the work they do, not only here on OFF, but on all the other sites where they help out.  :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Just uploaded the latest TP for testing.  http://www.tinyportal.net/index.php?topic=35478.0

If you already have 1.110 installed you probably don't need to replace it, just some version number changes etc. Hopefully we'll get thing released.

- Note that it requires a uninstall of any previous version, so be sure to make a backup of your current TP files.
Title: Re: FamilyForum Changelog:

Title: Re: FamilyForum Changelog:
Post by: Ken on July 21, 2015, 07:25:32 AM
Just installed the latest (07/20/2015) version of TinyPortal (1.110).
The version that we had installed was numbered the same, but the version that Mick uploaded yesterday to the TP site may actually contain code fixes that were not available when I installed that previous version.
... the version posted too the github is named TinyPortal-master.zip and I changed the name to TinyPortal-1.110.zip, thus the uncertainty over it being the most up to date code.

When dealing with the github it is some times easy to get the numbers of the releases mixed up, so that's why I decided to make sure that we had the correct version by installing this one.
Title: Re: FamilyForum Changelog:
Post by: Mick on July 21, 2015, 02:03:59 PM
Ken, the one I posted over there is the latest from github and all ready to go.  Yes it does have the same version number, I guess I could have added a revision number to it, but to be honest I did say to uninstall any previous version before installing this one.  The only fixes to the last one are version numbers when installing and uninstalling.  If any more fixes are added then it'll get a rev number. ;)

Things have gone very quiet over there again for some reason.  :huh1:
Title: Re: FamilyForum Changelog:
Post by: Ken on July 21, 2015, 03:49:36 PM
Yes, they have.
Maybe just a normal ebb and flow effect that we often see in life and on web sites... trouble is,for us on the TP site, there are very few members who are actively posting so if one or two slow down for a while it's quite noticeable.

Ken, just to clear up a bit of confusion, what zip did you actually install, the one I posted or the one from github?

If github, was it the Tinportal master zip, or the release zip?

Ken that was just me looking to see where those errors were generated.

bloc has hopefully answered why the forum name error is coming up.  A missing global in that language file.  Not sure about the other errors, perhaps related.  Try the suggested fix first  ;)

Some times this code stuff can be really challenging, so it helps to have friends and associates who know how to actually write code.
Case in point... Bloc posted this:

Ah, that would suggest the language files for pmxblog is missing a global.

If you haven't already, theres no need to un-install it then. But you could try adding this line in PmxBlog.english.php, right before any $txt lines:

global $context;

I would suspect the errors go away then.

And then, once I did that edit, the error was solved.  :thumbup:

Other times it can be rewarding if you can figure something out on your own. The PmxBlog was still throwing one error for a missing attachment, so I downloaded this image from the 'net...

Then renamed it to the correct attachment name, uploaded it to the Attachments folder and 'voila, we have a solution to the error!  laughing7

It's a mod conflict...most likely PMXBlog.

I checked "Disable Evaluation Of Templates" to see the real errors. Then I went into the blog as well as a few other places. You can see the many errors the showed up after viewing just 3 pages.

There is also an error for "forum_name" when I came here as a guest right before logging in.

EDIT: Yup! When a guest views the forum you get the "forum_name" error. I just logged out and looked at the forum twice. Two of those errors showed up.

Steve, it's kind of confusing, because that forum name error  changes.  when you have eval disabled (the real error) it says it's  tinyportal, and when you have eval enabled it says it PMXBlog.  It's defo a mod conflict, so Ken has a few options, 1: live with it. 2: Fix it. 3: Dump it..  :evil:

@Mick, When an error keeps changing or has a mix of mods in the error then you know it's a mod conflict.

@Ken, Hoping for an answer? From someone who no longer supports their mods or can't fix it? Good luck with that.  :funny:

Maybe if you learn PHP you can fix it but who knows how long that will be...

I've long since (years even) known that expecting help from Feline is a waste of time. Even when she was still giving support it was spotty at best. "Hoping for an answer" is merely a figure of speech, a play on words as relates to my coding skills.  laughing7

Ken, I didn't mean that in a bad way, just meant it as a last resort.  If it can be fixed then I'm sure it's a great feature to have.  That said I've never used any form of blog so far on any of my sites, they just aren't busy enough to warrant the hassle. ;)

Getting this last version of TP out is such a slow process, just found the Extended search is missing, and can't for the life of me remember when or why it was removed.  It's there in TP 1.0  I have asked over at tp.net, but no answer on this yet.

Post by: Ken on July 26, 2015, 06:30:59 AM
NP Mick.
 I didn't take it as a criticism, just as a comment on the state of things with the blog. And, actually, the code issues with this blog make it a crap shoot at best and so the best move would be to drop it. The reason for my long suffering hesitation is that the content of the blog would be lost and plus that I've always liked the idea of having the blog.

Speaking of outdated and obsolete Mods... another one that comes to mind that fell by the wayside was the Reviews mod that Dragooon wrote. I thought it was worth saving, but he grew up and moved on to other things.
I think he's still involved with SMF though.

Post by: Skhilled on July 27, 2015, 08:36:11 AM
Yup, what Mick said. I don't see the account either. However, it may be in the db. If it is then you can search the name and find his "id_member".  Recreate the account then run this query in phpmyadmin:

Quote
UPDATE smf_messages SET id_member = '313' WHERE poster_name = 'Bee' AND poster_email = '';

Change the "313" and "Bee" to the member's id and username, respectively.

I figured out how to do it when one of Beast's members deleted their account and wanted back in later.

He sounded really interested and said the he "definitely would like to give it a try." He also said that he has some RL stuff to attend too and that he would be able to tackle the Reviews mod in one-two weeks.

Now we just have to wait and watch the calendar, wishing the time would hurry up and get here!  :hah!:

Been doing a little research over on SMF for the topic post/reply preview freeze up. Not much help so far... I did find one topic from late last year that listed some code for the post.template.php file, but an examination of that file on our server shows the code already in place.

Getting some SMF Gallery Pro errors like these:

Unable to load the 'main' template.

One suggested fix is... "Gallery.template.php is in your themes/default/ folder and make sure it is the same version as the SMF Gallery version that you have installed."
So, I've dropped that file into the Themes/default folder to see what happens.

Drafts 2.2

Getting tired of loosing long posts that are still being composed in the post reply window.  :cry2:
So I've installed this mod to see if it helps a little.

@Mick... could we consider installing it to TP? I had about two long paragraphs going in the Windows 10 topic and lost the whole thing when I accidentally closed the page.

Post by: Ken on August 02, 2015, 08:34:06 AM
That sounds reasonable to assume, my problem is trying to understand how the code works and trying to find answers over on SMF by searching through topics. My search terms skills leave a lot to be desired.

EDIT: Spell check.  :-[
Title: Re: FamilyForum Changelog:
Post by: Skhilled on August 02, 2015, 08:38:41 AM
I don't think you'll get the answers over there. IMO, it's one of two things, or a combination of both. One, server issues. Two mod conflicts. When we redid the site and before you installed any mods these two things did not happen...not that I've noticed and I tried to make them happen on purpose just to see.
Title: Re: FamilyForum Changelog:
Post by: Ken on August 02, 2015, 08:47:44 AM
I guess the logical thing to do is uninstall all the mods and then reinstall them one by one until the offending mod is identified. Or, maybe uninstall them one at a time and ID the offender that way.

Now guys, I realised that while it had the Topic and Post tags removed from that last zip, the Tags icon was still there and working in TP admin, and was still there at the bottom of articles when you create or edit them.  The latest zip which is attached below has all the tagging system removed.    Remember to un-install any previous version prior to installing this one.

Thanks, I actually noticed this yesterday after installing a fresh local testbed.  If you type your shout and don't add a space and just click the smiley it'll work ok, and add the space for you.  If you add a space after your shout, and then add a smiley you get the Â.  I'm sure. and Ken will probably remember, we had this same problem a while back when bloc was trying ideas for the shoutbox.  To be honest I thought that got fixed.  Will have to look through the repo and see what happened and when.

Thanks for the heads up on this.

That's not going to happen.  :hah!:
Feline stopped supporting her Blog a long time ago, actually, from what I see on her site it's difficult for users of her PortaMx portal (http://portamx.com/) to get any support.

At some point the blog will become so out of date and broken that it will have to be removed, but that time is still a little ways off.

Just got a heads up on this problem,

The the  appearing in the shout edit, seems to be a char set issue and UTF-8 seems to fix it.seems to fix it.

if you view the source if your page, do you see
Code: [Select]
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" /> somewhere in the header?

http://www.tinyportal.net is already converted to UTF-8 which is why the problem doesn't arise there.  Not sure if there's an easy fix for this, other than converting to UTF-8.  Hopefully bloc or Brad might have some ideas on this.

Actually (just a side note) I believe when you install SMF 2.1 it defaults to UTF-8, so perhaps this is the way to in the future.
Title: Re: FamilyForum Changelog:
Post by: Ken on August 16, 2015, 08:02:55 AM
I'll take a look at the UTF-8 setup and the SMF 2.1 as well to see if that's a possibility here on OFF. I've never really looked at the UTF-8, so don't know if it makes sense or not?

Ken, the SMF 2.1 stuff was just a reference, TP isn't compatible with 2.1 and doesn't work properly.  Just saying that when people do eventually move to 2.1, they will automatically be on UTF-8.

I have no idea if converting this site to UTF-8 will break anything, it shouldn't but there's always a risk.
Title: Re: FamilyForum Changelog:
Post by: Skhilled on August 16, 2015, 12:02:11 PM
I haven't used UTF-8 in ages. The last time I did there were issues with it so I gave up on in and went on to other things.

So, I'll switch the test site over and see what happens. Personally, I was leaning toward a language or UTF-8 issue myself as the reason for it.
Title: Re: FamilyForum Changelog:
Post by: Skhilled on August 16, 2015, 12:49:03 PM
That seemed to fix it.

You don't have to look in a file to find out. Just go to Admin -> Maintenance -> Database. At the bottom of the page you'll see if you can convert it or if it already has been. Just don't forget to go back there after you convert it. This time you'll see "Convert HTML-entities to UTF-8 characters" click "Run task now" to complete the process.

Speaking of outdated and obsolete Mods... another one that comes to mind that fell by the wayside was the Reviews mod that Dragooon wrote. I thought it was worth saving, but he grew up and moved on to other things.
I think he's still involved with SMF though.

As noted later, after the above post, Dragooon sounded really interested but had some R/L issues to resolve. It has been over three weeks now and I sent him a reminder PM on the 11th, but haven't heard back from him even though he has been active on SMF. Ah well, hopefully he will respond in time.  :)

On another note... Bloc is doing themes again!  :hah!:

I did the same on testsite 2.  Do you find the admin menus a tad strange in this version. You ca also see what it does to certain blocks, they sit very narrow in the side panels at the moment.  bloc is apparently working his magic on the TP integration.  :2cool!!

Nice going Guys, the Issue with the TP admin > Blocks ( alignment is on with TP, and not with the other Portals, I did not mention this. I sent Bloc PM at SMF about some other things and one was. that the quick did not seem to enable via the Jscript !

I like this project very much!

Yepp... the menus will take a little getting used to, but they will feel comfortable in time I'm sure. I'm starting to be OK with them already.

Yes, it's nice that he's tuning it for TP now, as you say the side panels are a little out of sorts in this latest version. Also, in the previous version the bg panel showed a little more, the forum was not 100% wide and I liked that better.  :disturbed:

I am now confused, TP 1.101 ?

Maxx as far as I'm aware the support for TP hasn't been added yet.  If you were to try it on TP 1.111 you see the portal tab in the theme settings, but it's empty, no settings for it. Not on my setup anyway.

Title: Likes 1-5
Post by: Ken on September 18, 2015, 04:21:03 PM
Trying to sort out Illori's "Likes 1-5" Mod (http://smfhelp.org/index.php?topic=63.0)... on the install it throws errors for the Display.template.php file.

This is being caused by the "Say Thanks 1.3.3" (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=3898) Mod which has edits for the same locations in the file, so I went ahead and installed the Likes mod and it appears to work as expected until I try to manually do the edits to the Display.template.php file. After the edits are in place and the file is loaded to the server the forum returns a blank screen.  shocked003

Maybe I butchered the edits, so I'll give it another try later, but for now it seems to work OK without the edits.

Any ideas?
Title: Re: FamilyForum Changelog:
Post by: Skhilled on September 19, 2015, 07:53:35 AM
Seems like something is not edited properly or you can't use both mods at the same time. They may use the same or very similar coding somewhere which will make them conflict with each other.
Title: Re: FamilyForum Changelog:
Post by: Maxx on September 19, 2015, 09:29:04 AM
There are still a few issues with that theme, I reported them some may get fixed in the next update? and the others with TP and mods, maybe not! But I think he maybe busy with another project.

For me to be honest working with the Smf is not as much fun as it use to be, and no matter how much I change things around..t does not please me. I 'm trying many PHP and CSS codes changes and no Joy! :(

or you can't use both mods at the same time. They may use the same or very similar coding somewhere which will make them conflict with each other.

That would be my guess too.  I tried Illori's like mod some time back, and it installed and worked nicely.  That said, on all my forums I try to keep the mods to a minimum, and would only install something if I thought it would hold the forum back without it, or if the forum was busy with loads of members I'd probably install it if they asked for such a feature.

Just makes maintaining the sites so much easier, and less problems.  My forums are not busy enough to warrant that hassle. ;)

I saw a guy asking for support a while back he must have had about a hundred and fifty mods installed.  shocked003
Title: Re: FamilyForum Changelog:
Post by: Maxx on September 19, 2015, 10:04:07 AM
Yes and some don't even remove the old stuff, after updating or outdated stuff! Not to mention the mess it creates, in the DB tables. I use and test many, but never two of the same at a time.

Keeping the packages sorted, is very important in isolating issues and as mentioned, running smooth!

Installed Post and PM Inline Attachments.

Had one install error, need to do the manual edits for "./Sources/Display.php"
Title: Re: FamilyForum Changelog:
Post by: Ken on October 31, 2015, 01:04:16 PM
Did the edits to Display.php but botched the code somewhere because with the edits in place it returns a blank page.

Maybe, there's other code missing or out of place.

The install routine only showed the one error and that was in Display.php. During it manual edit there was one one bit of code that I found that needed to be corrected and as mentioned, I likely left something out. Gonna try it again soon.

In the SMF support topic (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=525705.msg3821913#msg3821913) dougiefresh states that his Inline Attachments mod is not working well with the forums built-in WYSIWYG editor.
Looks like waiting might be the order of the day.  :whistle1:

@njtweb and @CrescentEclipse: I noticed that both of you are using the WYSIWYG mode of the SMF editor.  I can confirm that this mod DOES NOT properly work with the SMF's WYSIWYG mode.  The attachment tags were removed from the message when I switched between modes.  I can also confirm that the ILA link beside the attachment upload box doesn't work in WYSIWYG mode.... I'm not sure how to fix this issue, but I am going to investigate this issue further....

Went over the code edits for Display.php again and discovered that there was an extra bit of code; ");", that got picked up when copying from the install.XML file and this was because another Mod have already added in that bit of code.  laughing7

There is a downside of sorts to this Mod.
You must first attach your files to your post and then save the post. Once the post has been saved, the attached files will have been uploaded and then you can edit the post and place the attached files wherever you wish within the post. Kind of like posting twice, but it work out in the end.  laughing7

Regarding the downside stuff.  It still has a bug imo, the images look like they are clickable even though they're not.  Just curious why you'd go to all the trouble getting it to work + adding another mod, when you can embed a pic straight from one of your galleries.   :whistle1:

 laughing7 Well... yes, I can do that. For me this just seems a little easier to do, with less steps.

With the gallery you must go to: Gallery > Add Picture > and then do all the(several) steps to add an image... then go to: Gallery > Album > Last Page of the album and select the image. Then copy the image url and paste it into your topic. Easy enough to do, but a lot of steps.
With the attachments Mod you go to: Your Topic > Add Attachments as Normal > Save/Post Your Topic > then go to: Modify Topic > and insert your images as desired.

Both ways gets the job done, but the attachments do it better if you have the need to do lots of image attachments.  :thumbup:

I suppose you have a point there is less steps.  :wink:  Although I would normally batch upload my images to CPG and just use the embed codes.  Using two tabs in my browser, it only takes seconds to do.  And as you know I hate adding mods if I don't have to.

The CPG with multiple tabs works well and it works OK with SMF Gallery Pro also... the free version of SMF Gallery not so much.(it only lets you do one image at a time)

Oh, in case you've not noticed, me been holding off on the Mods lately, it had been some time since the last new Mod until this last one. (Post and PM Inline Attachments)

The Studio-001 is gone now and should have been removed a long time ago, but I kept hoping that Bloc would become engaged again and finish working on the series. It's doubtful that he will take it up again though.

Saw the same thing on your Camera Craniums site.  :thumbup:

You mean the cat images Ken?  Yes, I did add some there too.  Although the CC site is using a old version of AMF Arcade, and TP 1.0 actually.  I'll have to upload fresh files and ad the latest versions to that site when I get some time.  It's long over due tbh.

I adjusted the arcade code slightly to make the cat images smaller, as default they were huge.  I see all these versions of the arcade still have the same bug, where they don't display "Todays Scores"  It always says "No Scores Today"  :whistle1:

Title: Re: FamilyForum Changelog:

Thanks Steve.  So basically SMF Arcade 2.5 RC3 is the latest version?

It gets a bit confusing with different sites offering the same mod, especially when version numbers change, also I think I got the arcade from your site, and the PDL mod from U/D's site, because I couldn't find it on yours etc. 

TBH, I would try and keep up with it a bit more over at web-develop but I find it hard to read stuff on the theme he has there, and there's no alternative theme to be used.   ???
Title: Re: FamilyForum Changelog:
Post by: Skhilled on December 13, 2015, 06:44:41 AM
Yes, that's the latest version which contains the PDL mod and the Jeza template...no need to install those separately anymore! ;) We are actually testing a RC4 version at the moment and also working on one for SMF 2.1.

I have updated the version on my site to RC3, the same on UD's site.

Thanks again Steve.  Would be handy to know what's in the new versions, so far there's no info regarding the integrated PDL / Jeza template.  This basic info should be in the mod description somewhere along with a changelog imo.  :wink:

OK, hold that last question.  I've just realised after all this time that Todays scores does work, but it only applies to the daily challenge.  Just tested that theory on Ken's arcade.  I notice on your arcade that has been renamed to "Challenge Scores" which makes more sense.

YandexGarland    1.2
Musical Christmas Garland. (... you can see them across the top of the forum.)

You can hear the sound when you touch balls by your mouse or when you press some keys. For example for play Jingle Bells press t-t-t-t-t-t-t-i-q-e-t-y-y-y-y-y-t-t-t-t-t-e-e-q-e-i



Had to comment out some code in TPortal.php so that the sound in this Mod would work, need to remember to fix the code after the Holidays.

Code: [Select]
/** NOTE: This JQuery must be reactivated after the YandexGarland Christmas ormiments are turned off.
// Load JQuery if it's not set (anticipated for SMF2.1)
if (!isset($modSettings['jquery_source']))

Well this is working out well!  groan:

Trying to follow This Post on SMF (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=197938.0) on how to change your Avatars directory from the default location and save on the calls to PHP on your page-loads.
My motivation is trying to find a fix for some Avatar errors that keep popping up in the error log.

So, I've made a new Avatar directory, 'avs' and moved the Avatars over to the new folder using, "?action=admin;area=manageattachments;sa=moveAvatars", but the Avatars are not showing!  :censored:
Uploading a new Avatar is not working either.
Playing around with file permissions currently trying to see if that helps.

Using the directions in the SMF topic I created a new folder, 'avs' and then changed the paths and urls and then ran the 'moveAvatars' command. That all seemed to work OK, but the Avatars never made it to the new folder. Then I manually uploaded them, but they still did not show.

For me it sounds like a good idea for big forums, but maybe not such a big deal for a small one like this one. As noted before, my main reason for trying it is because of the constant Avatar errors in the logs.

That was the culprit, while comparing the files against my test site I saw that this file was not in my avatar folder on the test site, so I removed it from '/avs' and now it works.    laughing7

Something is making the shoutbox blank again. If you do nothing here for a few minutes while viewing other sites (I view them in other tabs using FF) when I switch back to the tab for this site the shoutbox is blank! All of the shouts are missing until you refresh the screen. This was happening before here. I think I even posted a screenie of it somewhere here in a topic.
Title: Re: FamilyForum Changelog:
Post by: Skhilled on December 19, 2015, 06:30:34 AM

Fixed your attachment.
I guess the inline attachments thingie will need to be uninstalled because it takes more effort than it's worth to make it work.  :-[

For the shoutbox... I wonder if it's just this site, or an actual bug?
Title: Re: FamilyForum Changelog:
Post by: Skhilled on December 19, 2015, 07:21:28 AM
Not sure...could also be a browser caching issue since no one else has noticed it. I will try it in a different browser other than FF.

Same in IE11 Does it work now?  Ken, hope you don't mind. I've turned off the setting "Load jQuery File" on the snowflakes mod. And it works for me again

"If the main jQuery library is already loaded from another script, it may be necessary to disable this option."

Yep, seems quite a few mods are trying to run dupe copies of the same script at the same time, instead of sharing it like it is now.  A bit like the  YandexGarland problem you had earlier, though that doesn't have the option to stop it loading, hence why you had to comment it out.  The snowflakes mod kindly offers that option in the settings. ;)
Title: Re: FamilyForum Changelog:
Post by: Ken on December 19, 2015, 08:34:48 AM
Here's a thought:
Should we be laying the blame on SMF for this? Like, maybe they should have some kind of rule structure that mods have to follow that keeps folks from writing to the same files or functions that have already been used?

Is the 'hook' system making this issue a little better?
Title: Re: FamilyForum Changelog:

I think it's because jquery isn't part of SMF 2.0.xx by default the mod authors include it to make their mods work.  Obviously there'll be conflicts if two mods try to do the same.  All future versions of SMF will include this by default, or at least SMF 2.1 does, so mods won't need to. ;)

Agreed.  I always switch to the SMF default theme while checking issues like this. :)

Title: Re: FamilyForum Changelog:

Looks like the Garland was causing the gibberish in the SMFPacks Shoutbox.

I tried uninstalling the Garland and then uninstalling and reinstalling the shoutbox, but no joy there so for now the shoutbox is uninstalled. After the Christmas Holiday I'll sort it all out.

On the attachments, they do work, but you must first save (post) your message and then modify your message to place the attachments. To much of a chore in that, so I'll uninstall the Mod. Trouble is it's throwing red 'fails' so I'll do it in the early AM so as not to disrupt to much posting in case I screw it up.

YandexGarland    1.2
Musical Christmas Garland. (... you can see them across the top of the forum.)




Had to comment out some code in TPortal.php so that the sound in this Mod would work, need to remember to fix the code after the Holidays.

Code: [Select]
/** NOTE: This JQuery must be reactivated after the YandexGarland Christmas ormiments are turned off.
// Load JQuery if it's not set (anticipated for SMF2.1)
if (!isset($modSettings['jquery_source']))
$context['html_headers'] .= '
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.1.min.js"></script>';
**/

Done, thanks for the reminder Mick.  :thumbup:

Reset the default theme to 'Outline'
Hide the Themes Block, only admins can see it now.

Changed my mind on the themes block, I know that my preference is to run the SMF Default theme and some others may want to be able to change to that as well.

  • Install SMF Gallery Pro (http://www.ourfamilyforum.org/FamilyForum/index.php?action=gallery)... the images are missing, they will need to be uploaded all over again.
  • Install PmxBlog v1.1 (http://www.ourfamilyforum.org/FamilyForum/index.php?action=pmxblog)... the blog is still throwing the same errors as always

Anti Bot: Are You Human/Bot? 3.0

Lately we've been getting a lot of registrations from spammers, mostly from Ukraine and the Netherlands.

So I'm trying to upgrade our registration programs and have just installed the Anti Bot mod.
(https://www.ourfamilyforum.org/FamilyForum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi67.tinypic.com%2Fscxi5f.png&hash=21b403db90151102ff9a9c92c9a286c0ea5b06e5)

 I was trying to install "Forum Firewall" mod, but when it is uploaded to the Package Manager it disappears after 2-3 seconds... this happens on this site and my test site both.
This same behavior also happens when FileZilla is used.
Title: Re: FamilyForum Changelog:
Post by: Skhilled on January 18, 2016, 08:46:35 AM
I should change my article on those. Forum Firewall can be tricky and can disable your forum or even ban your users if not careful. I suggest a combination of Stop Spammer and httpBL OR you can use Underdog's mod "Spam Blocker" which incorporates both:

http://web-develop.ca/index.php?topic=3.0

The downside to his mod is you can't add users to the spammer db like you can with Stop Spammer. But you can blacklist or whitelist IP's in the admin.  Have a look in my admin and you can see how it's setup.

I can't seem to log out using this theme...can you? I keep getting a session error...

The theme is the problem... don't remember hearing of anyone having an issue with it before though. I hope we won't have to remove it, our theme choices are rather limited now that Bloc is no longer making any new ones or updating the older themes like this one.

I never log out, so I didn't notice it until now.  :azn:
Title: Re: FamilyForum Changelog:
Post by: Ken on January 27, 2016, 12:43:00 PM
Just tried this theme on my test site and the log-out function works as it's supposed to, so there's something in the mods/themes or whatever that's causing the issue here on OFF.

Fixed it!  laughing7
Thanks to Illori for the tip on 'session id's'.  :thumbup:

Here's a copy of my post from the other topic.
... me seems to be doing a lot of cross posting this morning!  shocked003
Fixed it!  laughing7
Thanks Illori.  :thumbup:

Illori gave me a tip on the proper use of a 'session id' in the Log Out address string and that fixed the issue.
I had the session id for the 'LOGOUT' button set as:
http://www.ourfamilyforum.org/FamilyForum/index.php?action=logout
This is what it should be:
http://www.ourfamilyforum.org/FamilyForum/index.php?action=logout;f23eb6ed1=232503dde130b6af7fd4345dd398c0f7

Here's a copy of my post on TinyPortal (http://www.tinyportal.net/index.php?topic=35706.msg288030#msg288030):

Fixed the Log Out issue by doing an edit to that menu option... thanks to Illori for the logout session id tip (http://www.tinyportal.net/index.php?topic=35706.msg288024#msg288024).   :thumbup:

Now it just needs the rest of the menu options sorted out.

Title: Re: FamilyForum Changelog:
Post by: Ken on January 28, 2016, 08:49:58 AM
Well, it didn't work after all!
I tried it with my test user (Mia) and it's not working there, so Illori suggested an uninstall and reinstall so I'm doing that now.

The settings must be saved in the data base because after doing the reinstall the settings are the same as before and the no logout result is the sane.

Yeah, I know but most of the good looking themes are just too old code-wise. I am thinking of trying my hand at making a new theme this year after I get a few things out of the way...
Title: Re: FamilyForum Changelog:
Post by: Mia on January 28, 2016, 09:09:24 AM
A new theme would be great!

I still have a lot of the old ones, but as you say, the code is just to out of date on them.
Title: Re: FamilyForum Changelog:
Post by: Skhilled on January 28, 2016, 09:25:23 AM
Hmm, has to be a difference between this theme and the other with the sessions part of the code, I'd assume.
Title: Re: FamilyForum Changelog:
Post by: Ken on January 28, 2016, 09:28:39 AM
For now I've set the forum default theme back to Outline... it works, so it will have to be OK as the default until a new theme can be found.
Title: Re: FamilyForum Changelog:

The WorkDesk3 theme is causing too many issues, so for now it has been removed as the forum default and we are now using SilentWave.

During that time the WorkDesk3 theme has returned as the forum default because of the coding skills of Illori, she fixed the major issues with it.  :thumbup:
Read about it HERE (http://www.ourfamilyforum.org/FamilyForum/index.php?topic=3863.0).

All mods will help prevent them from entering the site but cannot stop them from trying. The Forum Firewall may help with that but it is very easy to make the wrong setting and ban yourself or others or even disable your forum unless you know what you are doing!

The best way to stop them from hammering the site is to use a .htaccess file or use cPanel's IP Deny feature. You can set a range or IP's in either of those if, let's say, 20 of them have the same IP but the last part (host) is different like 111.222.333.856, 111.222.333.482, etc. You can use "111.222.333." or "111.222.333.*" depending on how your hosting is set up. This will block the entire range for that part (the last part) of the IP...numbers 0 through 999.

Ken, no problem.  Just been so quiet on the beta test boards lately, and we need to get this tested, as soon as it get to a stage where we're happy, the edits will make there way into the TP2 version for SMF 2.1 as well.

It works.  :hah!:

What you will achieve in 10 seconds or less with *ONE LINE* of CSS code:

*Image shown for demonstrational purposes



Let's begin!

Open file: Theme/css/index.css

Add at the bottom:

Code: [Select]

[id^='newicon'] > img{float:left;margin:10px;}.subject.stickybg2 span {display: inline;width: calc(100% - 50px);}


Done. Wow, that was fast. Yep, that's what she said.  :(

Post by: Skhilled on July 02, 2016, 08:04:48 AM
They really need a better way of numbering the versions. It's starting to get confusing. I see that today the first post was updated by allvip. When I downloaded the zip it said I already had it and asked if I wanted to replace it. If this is a new version that was put out in the last 2 days or so I would think I already have it and would not download it thinking I would be testing the same thing.

Maybe RC3.1, RC3.2, etc. If you keep using the same version number it seems to be the same one and people will think there is no need to download it again. I see posts saying it's updated but the version numbers don't change which leads to confusion. The post is dated June 25 but edited today. Is this a newer version of RC3?
Title: Re: FamilyForum Changelog:
Post by: Ken on July 02, 2016, 08:23:42 AM
Yepp... allvip added(edited) this latest version too that first post today.
He is working on bugs and the like on a daily basis and has been releasing new versions often... sometimes only a day or two apart. I agree that the numbering system is confusing at times, but I'll very thankful that allvip, Illori and Mick are putting all this effort into refining TP.  :thumbup:

Post by: Skhilled on July 02, 2016, 08:35:24 AM
Yes, I'm glad they are working on it so it doesn't die off. But for people who are used to testing it will be even more confusing and they may not download the new version and continue testing an older version.

They really need a better way of numbering the versions. It's starting to get confusing.


Agreed 100%  I find it difficult to follow, so can't really expect the beta testers to work it out.

Believe me I've tried asking them not to replace the existing zip with updated versions, and that they should post them in the team board first so I can change the versions, Do they listen,  No. lol..

I'll have to drop them a reminder. ;)

The way you have posting set by default is the problem. Go to preview mode first. Then click the last BBC icon (the little arrow with the brackets around it). You can then click on the little world icon and a small popup box will show ask you to enter or paste the URL you wish to use instead of it adding the "url" BBC tags in the post you are creating. I've setup my site so this is done by default. No BBC coding required.

Quick reply does not do this unless you have enabled the BBC icons to show along with it.

Whoops! Sorry for the delay in updating this conversation.  :christmas-blush:

Basically it comes down to what to do for the future because there are no current backups available except for the db backup's (3 days worth) that MySQLDumper has been doing.
To get the full backup's that would be needed in a situation like this my choices would be to change to a small orange, or buy the bu plan that Frank has... about the same money for either plan.
As memory serves, the reason that I've never started the plan from Frank is/was the cost and the same issue still exits, ie, my monthly income remains the same.  :christmas-wink:

The left side panel didn't look right, I adjusted the width just now (to 190) and is looks a little better now.

I was going to mention colors, but what colors to use??? Maybe change the bars a little and maybe even the bg a little, but my mind is not coming up with a color scheme that sounds good.

Ohara Youtube|Vimeo Embed mod... installed this YouTube Mod as a replacement for Simple Audio Video Embedder.

Title: Re: FamilyForum Changelog:
Post by: Mick on April 07, 2017, 01:01:05 PM
Ken. I have always used Ohara Youtube|Vimeo Embed mod on my sites, it's my preferred mod for this purpose.  Some of the copyright stuff is getting out of hand on some of these mods nowadays.  A subtle copyright notice is fine, and I agree fully as to why it should be there, but some are using it to the extreme.
Title: Re: FamilyForum Changelog:
Post by: Ken on April 07, 2017, 05:07:15 PM
Thanks Mick.
I have long thought that the Simple Audio was a bit of overkill for this forum because we rarely post anything other than YouTube except for the occasional Vimeo. And, this cleans up the footer a little.  laughing7
Title: Re: FamilyForum Changelog:
Post by: Skhilled on April 08, 2017, 06:24:27 AM
I've used to cause it does have other videos included and you can add those as well. The net keeps changing and it is good to have something that is already ready for those changes. That was a selling point for me.

I do support the copyright if something is free. If it is paid I think you should be able to remove it or cover it up.

Btw, as far as your Error page that keeps showing up...I think it is because of the line in your .htaccess for it. I have not tried to remove it. But as far as I know you can create the 404 and let the server handle it.
Title: Re: FamilyForum Changelog:
Post by: Ken on May 07, 2017, 11:01:35 AM
You are talking about the error page on sign-in?

Title: Re: FamilyForum Changelog:
Post by: Skhilled on May 07, 2017, 12:10:43 PM
You should be able to add the page in cpanel...but I'd have to check on that. I'm pretty sure there's something in there for that and the server will handle it.

Here's a site that will check your site to see if it's SSL safe and give you a report on it:

Title: Re: FamilyForum Changelog:
Post by: Skhilled on May 07, 2017, 05:51:08 PM
I think I fixed the 404 but removing this from .htacess:

Code: [Select]
ErrorDocument 404 /FamilyForum/index.php?page=208
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^ourfamilyforum\.org$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.ourfamilyforum\.org$
Title: Re: FamilyForum Changelog:
Post by: Ken on May 07, 2017, 09:23:16 PM
The 404 page is showing as unsecured, so I checked it's code and found that the main image (can of beans) only had the partial link as the gallery is prone to give. So I fixed it, but the page still shows as unsecured.
Title: Re: FamilyForum Changelog:
Post by: Skhilled on May 07, 2017, 09:28:03 PM

Think I've been lucky so far with the mods I use.  (Touches wood).

I have only updated two sites though atm.  I have noticed however that although minimum php requirements for 2.0.14 are supposed to be php 5.3  it doesn't work on it. And just found out my Cameracraniums, and all my testsites are running on 5.3 .  TP support site and Guitarist Guild are bothe updated but are running on 5.4 which they seem to behave with.

I have no idea how to change the php version without killing my sites, I'm not good with server stuff at all.  :smiley6600:

I've only noticed what I've already mentioned but also there are a couple of admin images missing for the arcade and aeva media (old and planning to get rid of it) mods. Not sure why they are missing but it should be easy to fix.

Check your server panel. A lot of hosting now have a php selector. Mine does and I'm using 5.6 but if I change to anything higher I get a blank page. I thought 2.0.14  was supposed to work with versions up to 7.0... This happens on my live site (an upgrade on shared hosting) and a VPS with a fresh install. Go figure...

Forgot about this.  I've  moved all sites to new host, so at the moment all sites are running on PHP: 5.6.30  I do now have a php selector available, although they have been experimenting with a new system, and Tinyportal needed some updates to run on it, so I haven't tried anything in php 7 - 7.1 yet.  2.0.14 runs ok on 7 - 7.1  as far as I'm aware, but some mods / portals don't atm.

You can't scroll down to the bottom of the arcade to see the copyright here. If you go to Arcade Info in the Admin mine say v2.5 RC5 and yours says v2.5RC2. The one I have in my downloads is RC3. Can't check his site cause it's down, atm.

Error log filling up a bit there Ken, think it's mainly your gallery pro mod, but not sure as I've never used it.  Do they have an updated version?

Hey Mick... You're right about the log filling up!  :o

Not sure about the gallery mod, my license is expired and I've always waited for a newer version to be released before renewing, need to check it out.
Looking just now and it looks like most errors are coming from the broken arcade and the 'simple audio video mod'. I'm not sure why the audio/video mod is throwing errors because it's not even installed.

Looking just now and it looks like most errors are coming from the broken arcade and the 'simple audio video mod'. I'm not sure why the audio/video mod is throwing errors because it's not even installed.

Aha, yes I was just going on the word pro in the error (mediapro).  Perhaps then you have some left over code from that 'simple audio video mod' when you uninstalled it.

That error has been around since the 2.0.13 upgrade.

Edit: When I get a little extra time I'll remove the old arcade and install the current one.
Title: Re: FamilyForum Changelog:
Post by: Ken on August 28, 2017, 10:24:47 AM
Thanks Steve, no worries.

On the mediapro errors I need to go through the install files and try to find the left over code.

Fixed it!  :banana:

Found this in Admin.php and commented it out:

Code: [Select]
/**

'title' => $txt['mediapro_admin'],
'permission' => array('admin_forum'),
'areas' => array(

'file' => 'AutoEmbedMediaPro2.php',
'function' => 'MediaProMain',

'icon' => 'server.gif',
'permission' => array('admin_forum'),

Because 'simple audio video mod' is no longer being used I think we need to delete it from the Package Manager.

Don't thinks that mod is set up for https Ken.  You might have to make some changes to it.

Actually, It's a tad old and outdated methinks.

True, it's old and out of date but it reinstalled cleanly after our SMF update, so I thought why not. But it's not working so you are likely right about the setup.

It's giving a mixed content warning when replying to a post, because of this tinypic button http://static.tinypic.com/i/logo.gif  Also it works if you allow insecure content in IE11 so firefox etc is probably blocking it.

I dare say there's a script somewhere that needs to be changed to https as well, not sure about that though.  Also if I read correctly if the tinypic user doesn't visit for a certain time the images disappear, thus rendering some messy threads.
Title: Re: FamilyForum Changelog:
Post by: Ken on August 28, 2017, 01:40:51 PM
I like the ability to place images wherever you want them within a post, but it's a chore to do that using images from a gallery and that's why I've always liked tinypic. To bad it's not working.

EDIT: Mick, are you still working with CPG?
Title: Re: FamilyForum Changelog:
Post by: Mick on August 28, 2017, 01:47:19 PM
Ken, yes still working with Coppermine.  Getting ready for 1.6 which should be officially released soon.

Tinypic should work if you mod it, there's at least two calls to http which need sorting.

Or you could try https://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=3770  :wink:

Yes, true. Lately I've been getting reacquainted with the shell. I can run a lot of commands from it and get things done much faster. I honestly can't think of much more to do to it except add a few plugins to make things a lot easier to do. But for some of them, cPanel does not support although their forum has a lot of knowledgeable users who are very willing to help. You can even use their forum if you have a shared account for questions.

EDIT: I think I just found something that will help stop spam dead in its tracks. I'll give it a run and see how it goes. :)

Actually Ken, I was going to ask you to look at the gallery I use on GG and TGMF it's a pretty lightweight script and integrates well with your existing forum.  No menu links to add and has the bbcodes you wanted.  It's pretty powerful.  I was a bit late as you already installed Coppermine.  Still worth a look though.

Only downside is Pete stopped work on it a while back, but he built it pretty well,  Check it out here, https://guitaristguild.com/index.php and https://thegardenmachineryforum.co.uk/index.php

You'll see a media link in the menu, that's what it adds when you install it.  It was a paid mod, in fact I did buy it, but now he's giving it away FOC. ;)

By the way ken, if you add a new TP block you'll notice there is a couple of levertine Gallery blocks built in for you to choose from. Random or (latest media) So you can add images etc from the gallery to your pages.

You can also link to youtube vids etc and add those as items.  Oh, and when you add or edit an item you can add a tag word to each item, so they show on the built in tag cloud.  :)

Yes and I'm liking this media mod, the general look and feel of the layout and features is great. One thing that caught me immediately is the image links interface, a simple click to copy an image to the clipboard and then place within your post... not having to do all that copy/paste/copy/paste that is needed with gallery-pro is great.  :thumbup:

Not bad for a freebie is it.  Pete did a great job with this media gallery.

The TP blocks like I said will be either Random or Latest media.  You can tweak them to show more or less columns or rows, I think the default is  4 x4

Using the TP blocks,
I have three images down the left hand side here, https://guitaristguild.com/

And four along the lower center, here https://thegardenmachineryforum.co.uk/

That's a good point actually.  It doesn't bother me, but I can understand why it would bother other users.  Not sure there's a setting to change this though.  Wonder if we could add another bbcode to it.

Adding another bbcode might work.

Found an importer function and I'm looking at the Aeva Media import, I had that installed a long time back and did not realize that there was still content available.

This could be a mistake because the images may not actually exist on the server, rather the importer may only see entries in the db???

Title: Re: FamilyForum Changelog:
Post by: Ken on September 02, 2017, 07:50:23 PM
I like the Media gallery because it makes including images to a post easier, and the SMF gallery because it has a much more robust 'Category' and 'Album' system. And, I've always loved CPG, but it installs outside of SMF and that's why I've used SMF Gallery Pro for the most part, but I did have it (CPG) installed for several years.
Title: Re: FamilyForum Changelog:
Post by: Skhilled on September 02, 2017, 07:56:30 PM
Yeah, I've always loved CPG. It's a shame it's not a SMF mod. But you can integrate it into SMF's system. I just haven't needed a gallery much lately...

Currently, I'm working on a new E107 site...again probably for my recipes. LOL I love E107 but it is a bit complex and you can do almost anything with it including making your own blocks, etc.

Yes, I love it and have been playing with it for about 10+ years...probably 15 or so. LOL I haven't played with it lately but just got back into it now that I'm more comfortable with the VPS.

It is VERY customizable! But there's a lot to it and will take a bit to get used to. You can do the same as you would with SMF + TP +gallery, etc. but have more freedom to customize the look and feel to your liking. Once you get used to the terms (how things are named and done) it's not hard at all. It's just different that how you are used to doing things.

The Media gallery is having an issue with displaying more than one page in an album, I've posted on SMF HERE (https://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=525210.msg3940746#msg3940746) to see if there is a fix for the issue.

Here's a quote of my post:
This is indeed a great gallery mod, I just installed it and really like the way it works, it is a keeper.

I do have a small issue and hopefully a fix can be found.
I've read all 39 pages in this topic and didn't see my issue mentioned, but one of the posters in this topic posted a link to his gallery so I checked his and it did not have the same problem, so that seems to suggest that it's my install and not the mod, so mine was uninstalled and then reinstalled and the issue remains.

So, here 'tis... when more than a single page is needed to hold all of the images a link for a second page will display, but clicking the link for the second page takes you to an error page that tells me; "The article isn't active, hasn't been approved yet, or simply does not exist."

This first link will take you to the album, and the second link will take you to the error page.

Thanks, any help will very much appreciated.

Interesting.  I haven't had more than one page in one of my albums, so can't say I've noticed this.  Wonder if it's a conflict with TP in some way, as no one else has mentioned it.

Like I said, Sadly Arantor stopped work on this mod some time back, but if we're lucky he'll come up with a fix for it.

Title: Re: FamilyForum Changelog:

This is strange...

While thrashing around with the Media gallery I've discovered that if you change the page number in the address bar from two to three it will then display the second page, including displaying the correct number on the page, as seen in this screen shot.
Title: Re: FamilyForum Changelog:
Post by: Ken on September 04, 2017, 02:11:38 PM
Arantor is saying that he thinks that to fault may be in some of the TP code because the errors are saying that the "article is not active'.

Illori is saying that it's a known issue with TP that no fix has been found for and suggests that enabling debug might give some useful information.
Title: Re: FamilyForum Changelog:
Post by: Ken on September 04, 2017, 05:18:00 PM
I've constructed a temporary work around for the Media Gallery page 2 errors.

Each page will hold 24 images, so a new album has been created and named "DC Trip 2017, p2" Then, images were moved from the original album so that only one page of images are now found in each album.
Title: Re: FamilyForum Changelog:
Post by: Skhilled on September 05, 2017, 07:45:49 AM
I don't see the page numbers on the page above the photos like in your image.

Also, the difference is in the URL and is why it is probably not showing correctly. The link below is the one that you gave above and gives the error:

https://www.ourfamilyforum.org/FamilyForum/index.php?media/album/dc-trip-2017.2/page-2/

This is the link that works:

https://www.ourfamilyforum.org/FamilyForum/index.php?media/album/dc-trip-2017-p2.3/

Notice the last part of each URL...
Title: Re: FamilyForum Changelog:
Post by: Ken on September 05, 2017, 07:58:10 AM
This is true and that's because of the changes that were made to the original album.
This link is to the original album, "DC Trip 2017":
https://www.ourfamilyforum.org/FamilyForum/index.php?media/album/dc-trip-2017.2/
... and it had a total of 48 images (max of 24 per page), but because of the error, page two would not display.

So, I made a second, separate, album and called it "DC Trip 2017, p2" and moved half of the images from "DC Trip 2017" to "DC Trip 2017, p2"
https://www.ourfamilyforum.org/FamilyForum/index.php?media/album/dc-trip-2017-p2.3/

That meant that a second page was no longer required in that first album, thus it was no longer as issue. 
Title: Re: FamilyForum Changelog:
Post by: Ken on September 05, 2017, 08:02:13 AM
I've just added some images to the original album, for a total of 26 and now the page two link of that album shows and will give you the error page when clicked.

Levertine Media has missing images, etc AND giving a number of errors in the log not seen before.

Switching back to PHP 5.6 fixes most of these issues so it is a PHP 7 issue. Any other issues here are probably because of the same. Please post all errors you find so they can be logged and possibly fixed. Or we can always switch back to PHP 5.6 at any time in cPanel.

No problem, hopefully that will sort it.

The other error you was getting

8192: mktime(): You should be using the time() function instead

is from the mini calendar block which was created with the prior version of TP the new TP1.3 and 1.3R versions have this fixed.  Basically you would just need to turn this block off and recreate it to populate it with the new code.

As it's an easy fix I have edited the code for you directly in Ken's mini calendar block. So should be ok now.

It's a TP thing Steve.  The version you have on here now = 1.3R already includes the fix. But as I said you'd need to remove the old Mini Calendar block and add a new one, or just edit the code in it as I just did a few minutes ago.

Oops, sorry I'm a bit slow on the uptake. lol.. 

The fix is right there in the error code, mktime(): You should be using the time() function instead

So if you have things that are literally just mktime() with nothing in the brackets, just replace it with time() instead.

mktime(): you simply change to time():

It was working for me before the change, and not after, or at least I think it was.  It defo wasn't working after the edit, and adding the image link directly in the address bar resulted in a dead link.   I can't test it now the theme's gone.  :wink:

https://www.ourfamilyforum.org/FamilyForum/index.php?action=login2

It does that in Chrome, Edge,  and FF on my PC...unless my caching is off, again. I wouldn't be surprised. LOL

Hi guys, hope things are good with you.

I noticed the redirect doesn't seem to be working properly here now, I men, if I use my bookmark (yes I could update it) but if you click, http://www.ourfamilyforum.org/FamilyForum/index.php I'm presented with a login at the top.  Just clicking login without entering anything in the boxes redirects me to https://www.ourfamilyforum.org/FamilyForum/index.php where I'm then logged in.  :wink:

Actually, I get the same result as you when using your link Mick.

Steve, done that, and tried different browser, still the same though unfortunately.   When I click the old insecure bookmark it should force it to https, but it doesn't until I click the login button, then I'm logged in. 

When I fist visit the username and password boxes are empty.  (screenshot). If I add a 's' to the http it then shows me as logged in. (2nd screenshot).

Yes, it should force it. I'll have to take a look at that. The funny thing is last night while at work I usually check in on the site but kept getting a forbidden message. Prolly cause of the old bookmark.

Just took a look and I'm now trying to sort out what it all means.
The error page rewrite I know about... Seen Here. (https://www.ourfamilyforum.org/FamilyForum/index.php?page=208)
The HTTPS feature I know about, of course, but am unclear as to why it's included in the .htaccess file.

Steve, actually it seems to do the same thing on your site, or at least it does foe me.  Click this link and you'll see it doesn't change to https, and you'll probably look like your not logged in.  Then click one of your tabs and you will see you are logged in. http://www.docskillz.com/docs/index.php?action=forum

Steve I'm trying to access phpMyAdmin to look at the tables and find out if the tables are still there for an old TP module, (TPReviews) and it's hanging up on the phpMyAdmin 'home' page. I thrashed around a bit but was unable to solve the problem.

Here's an image of what it looks like.

I hadn't noticed until you pointed it out Steve.  Seems it was only from the recent topics down that were showing the wrong titlebg's.   I'll be honest and say I haven't a clue if they were like that before the TP update.   I've never seen a update do this either, not on any of my sites or test sites.  :o

I changed it for you Ken, in the TP panels section, it's  easier than doing each block individually.   :wink:

Post by: Ken on June 11, 2018, 05:23:49 AM

Finally updated my site... a bit late to the game.  :-[
Uninstalled TinyPortal 1.3R and updated to TinyPortal 1.5.0

Looks good Ken.  Though I got this error when first visiting.  I still think there's some sort of strange redirect going on. 

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /FamilyForum/index.php on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.


sounds like mod_security is acting up. it should be disabled.
Title: Re: FamilyForum Changelog:
Post by: Skhilled on June 14, 2018, 09:42:51 AM
Sorry, I forgot about this. I might have to add a custom php.ini and disable it or do it on the server.

EDIT: Ken, I've enabled the icon for it in your cPanel account. I've disabled mod_security for your account. But for future reference, should you wish to turn it back on, log into cPanel and go to the Security block and click the icon. When you disable it you'll see the following message because it is a security feature:

"Warning: ModSecurity is disabled for one or more of your domains. Only disable ModSecurity while you troubleshoot a problem with your configuration. Without ModSecurity enabled, your domains lose the extra layer of protection that the module provides."

Had to fix the custom 404 error page.
Back on 2/11/14 this reply/post from 'ets' helped me correct the custom 404 page improperly displaying. Pretty much the same fix was required this time.  :thumbup:
Quote
Hi Ken,
No, that's not correct. You should have this:
ErrorDocument 404 /FamilyForum/index.php?page=208

Here's my original post that details his answer:
@Skhilled

Steve, this information may be needed for you to correctly set your 404 redirect.


I posted on the Google 'Webmaster' support forums and was told that my code was wrong and should be as follows:

Quote
Hi Ken,

No, that's not correct. You should have this:

ErrorDocument 404 /FamilyForum/index.php?page=208

(You're mixing up a 301 redirect with the ErrorDocument directive.)

Also you must not include the full URL in an ErrorDocument directive or you won't get the all-important 404 status code: it will do a 302 redirect instead (which is what it does right now), which will screw your site up.

Modify as I've suggested and then check the HTTP headers to ensure it's sending a 404 code as well as serving up the 404 page:

Check the headers with one of these tools...
Live http headers (a Firefox browser addon_: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/live-http-headers/
Rex Swain's http viewer: http://www.rexswain.com/httpview.html
Web sniffer: http://web-sniffer.net/


After making the change to my .htaccess file the error page call works as it should. (the support helper had me run a check to see how Google was reading the page call)
You can find the support topic at this link...

But now when I login it does like before and takes me to the 404 page instead of the forum.

This issue comes up because of the htaccess file edits that I did to get the custom 404 page working again. Don't know how this happened because I thought that great care was taken to only change the 404 redirect code, as seen here:
Code: [Select]
# Error Document -- Handled by a TinyPortal page
ErrorDocument 404 /FamilyForum/index.php?page=208
But, when comparing the file previously in use, (.htacess-old) to the current file in use, (.htaccess) the differences in the code are rather obvious.

It may take me a few days to sort it out, not doing so great just now.

Yep, who's online now shows what article, also what category they are viewing, and what download.   You can also upload and remove images for your articles, and upload / remove category icons.

There's quite a few changes in this one.  Menu manager also has a nifty feature now, you can add buttons to the SMF menu.  Handy if you want to add a link to a rules page, or similar, or a perhaps  a external link.

Also loads of work gone into the SMF 2.1 side of it, now there's no file edits on install at all.  It just drops a few files in and uses hooks.

That's because another mod(s) have probably put code in the same areas as the galley and it can't find the point where it needs to uninstall those parts OR everything wasn't uninstalled last time and you have duplicate code in those files.

This is the advice that he posted:

Proceed with the uninstall. Then try to do the new install.
If it still fails attach the failed files that failed on here.

Be back soon.  :azn:

That's always the case and why he said to post those files on his site. The problem is that is you do the uninstall and then reinstall without manually fixing the files it will screw something up later even if the the new install works. Sooner or later installing or uninstalling another mod or this mod will cause more problems. Whenever you have Test Failed it is always best to do manual edits of those files before proceding to avoid problems later.

Errr... back up now, after being down for several hours.  :-[

Had to wait until this AM to make sure my mind was fresh... that way, hopefully, I would not trash up the files even more.  laughing7

Just did the file edits myself, but did post the two files over on the SMFGalleryPro site just to see what he came up with.

Gonna get ready to install the v8.0.4 package now, hopefully it dosen't muck up the works all over again.

I don't remember any but I'm sure there's some around. Maybe when we get time Les and I can come up with one. It probably won't be soon enough though.

On another note, I copied over a theme for someone from smf 1.1.13. They asked me to help them upgrade their smf to 2.0.15. I knew they would need a theme and I also wanted to see how easy it would be doing it for 2.0.15 vs 2.1. Doing it for the current version is so much easier! Here's what I did in a day:

Post by: Skhilled on June 08, 2019, 05:52:18 PM
Thanks, SMF 2.1 combines a lot of the classes in the default theme whereas 2.0.15 doesn't. It makes it a lot easier when they are separated or you'll end up add styles to parts of your theme unintentionally. Then you'll have to figure out what needs to be separated and create it's own class! For me just really getting into this it's been a hard road but I've learned a lot quite quickly.

Les helped with the images. He's better at those. LOL

I already have a test site for Jeff's themes for 2.0.x:

https://skhilled.com/smftest/index.php

When i'm ready to start on updating a new one I install it there. You can still test the old ones to see if there are any bugs that need fixing. Then those can be fixed and uploaded to the downloads. Btw, I'm considering using TP's downloads since the site already uses it and needs to be updated to TP 1.6.3.
Title: Re: FamilyForum Changelog:
Post by: Ken on June 20, 2019, 07:15:56 AM
Through the years I've never really devoted much time at all to the TP downloads feature, but all indications are that it works well, it should be worth a try. Maybe Mick would have some good insight into how good it would be for your purposes.

You're perhaps thinking of LandyVlad's comic forum.  :wink:

TP downloads should work fine for the purpose.  I did have some themes displayed on Test Site Three at some point, but have them turned off atm. I could turn it on again so you'll get an idea.

You will have to add thumbnails to make them stand out, and obviously links to relevant demos etc, but yes it should be ok.  Once you get going.

Yep, I remember asking maxx at the time why he removed TP from Jeff's site, and the reply was, it kept erroring out there was a problem with TP apparently, and it doesn't work.   What it came down to was he'd gone off on one over at TP support, didn't like the response he got and fled to another portal, I think SP.  Then it happened again, and changed portals again.  There's a reoccurring pattern here. lol.. 

As for TP being Jeff's choice of portal, absolutely, that's why he was on our team and is still in the TP credits.   :wink: I really miss having chats with Jeff.

Administration Center Security (https://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=3919)
Quote
SMF is great in its flexibility. I couldn't even imagine it without Package Manager, Theme Editor and many other goodies your Administration Center offers.

Unfortunately, if an administrator account is compromised, this automatically means that your forum is in danger as the attacker gets immediate access to your files, database, ...
Since the critical settings are not accessed often, an extra layer of security can be added by explicitly granting access to those areas when they are needed.

After installation, you will find the following line in the end of Settings.php:
Code: [Select]

$enable_admin_security = false;

In order to activate the MOD's functionality you need to edit the file and set the variable to true. A warning in your Administration Center lets you know it is active.

This is a longtime issue with SMF when you upgrade through the admin. I've reported this as well as other people have years ago and we were told to ignore it and the database didn't need an upgrade. I believe it is because the mods are looking for the db version to be current and it isn't. Long ago Unknown (I think) told me to just upload the all of the upgrade files from the large upgrade package along with the .sql files and run upgrade which usually fixes it. However, they screwed up the upgrade.php files and it may or may not work! It's an easy fix and I figured it out myself. I did not click on the replies link so I had no idea but would have eventually found it.

I would have thought someone would be smart enough to fix it if for no other reason than to cut down on support. Ha! Please see these from years ago:

TP 1.6.6 (https://www.tinyportal.net/index.php?topic=36474.0)
So lately, we've had some issues with the site with slow-loading pages and lots of error pages. We are thinking that it might be that we have some kind problem with the forum software and Skhilled reminded me that TinyPortal had just made a Security Release (TP 1.6.6) and that lurkalot suggested that we give it a shot... and so we will.  :thumbup:

These images and observations are from a test site I've created with no other mods or themes installed.

1.  TPShout option is not aligned in Frontpage Settings page:

(https://tinypix.top/images/2020/05/30/NrPLJ.md.png) (https://tinypix.top/i/NrPLJ)

2.  Titlebg's have white showing around the border radius:

(https://tinypix.top/images/2020/05/30/Nriu3.png) (https://tinypix.top/i/Nriu3)

(https://tinypix.top/images/2020/05/30/Nrfa4.png) (https://tinypix.top/i/Nrfa4)

3.  Menu items vertically on the left and horizontally across the top of TP settings pages are not consistent. For instance, the Blocks and Panels section on the left has Panels, Blocks, Block Access...in that order. The menu across the top is not in the same order:

(https://tinypix.top/images/2020/05/30/NrSCi.png) (https://tinypix.top/i/NrSCi)

4. Same for the Articles section. It tricks the eyes as you would normally read left to right, unless you live in a country that reads right to left. Either way, it's inconsistent and may trick those who are not used to TP. This is something that has bothered me for a long time but I never knew why until now. LOL

Some good catch's there, are you going to post any of this over on TP? I started to quote your reply and post it over there, but it might be better if you did.  ;)

EDIT: I never noticed these menu and alignment issues before, but now that you've pointed them out, they just glare out at me!  laughing7

I posted it over there but now see there's v1.6.7! LMAO Back to the drawing board...

Now TP is having server issues. When I first tried to load the site I got a "Service Unavailable". I refreshed then while reading some of the topic just awhile later I got a server "Timed Out". Seems to be ok now. Was only me and Tino logged in at the time and about 75 guests.

Steve, TP 1.6.7 is only a bugfix for something introduced by 1.6.6 nothing serious, apart from that you'll still see those cosmetic issues in that as well.  As mentioned we're not really doing much to 1.6.x series now, other than security fixes. (although it said bug fixes).  Concentrating on TP 2.0.0 now and trying to get that ready. 

Server issues, yes that's something I've noticed for a while now, and must get onto Liroy and find out why.  It went through a faze of doing this a few months ago, but seemed to settle down after I changed the cache settings.

Thanks for the report though, they will get the attention they deserve in TP 2.0.0 because it will look the same atm. ;)

Yeah, SMF 2.0 caching sucks! I clear the cache once per week on my sites and here. If you don't the sites run slow. I haven' tested the caching on 2.1 enough just yet, tho...

Not even going to talk about Liroy...been there before back with TP Hosting. Will never recommend nor use him again. Not a very nice person nor a people person nor customer-friendly. Speaking from personal experiences with him and his hosting.

I've setup the 4 test sites for 2.0 and 2.1 for TP 1.6.7 and 2.0.0. Will play with them as time allows along with getting back to updating the Crip Zone themes. Been noticing some issues with the 2.0 versions since 2.0.16 was introduced. Unfortunately, there's 70+ themes to update...

By the way, TP has a Colorizer mod built in, same as the SimpleColorizer mod. I have enabled this too, but you might not want it on, so just shout and I'll turn it off again, or you can do so in TP Settings >  "Use membergroup color for user names throughout the forum"

Yeah, I saw that with the Smileys and went into the edit menu and changed one Smiley back to the 'pop-up' menu and at that point all of them jumped back to where they belonged... but now they've jumped back out. I posted about it over on TP, but no word back yet.

As mentioned, I had first tried the package manager and it just churned for a minute or so and the threw an error message. So after about three tries I uploaded the package to the packages page in cPanel and everything went as expected, but the package would still not show up in the website package manager.

Using the reload icon/button at the top of the cPanel packages page didn't change anything in the website P/M.

EDIT: actually the large upgrade.zip was the one that I was using. Maybe trying the .gz or the .bz2 would be worth a shot.

No what I meant was, you can't use the Large Upgrade package in the package manager, you have to unzip it and overwrite all your files with it, then run upgrade.php from your address bar.  2.0.19 to 2.1.4 is a major upgrade.

Quote
How to update to 2.1.4

If you are currently using version 2.1.3, you can perform the update using the Package Manager (Administration Center > Package Manager). There you should see a notification about 2.1.4, including a "update your forum" link. If you do not see this notification in the Package Manager, please run "Fetch Simple Machines files" from the Scheduled Tasks page (Administration Center > Maintenance > Scheduled Tasks), and then try again.

If you are currently using any version from 2.1.0 to 2.1.3, you can use the process described above to apply previous update patches successively until you reach version 2.1.4.

If you are currently using any older version of SMF (including SMF 1.x, SMF 2.0.x, or one of the SMF 2.1 Betas or RCs), you can upgrade directly to 2.1.4 from whichever version you are currently using by using the "Large Upgrade" package from the Download page. Be aware that using this upgrade method will require you to reinstall any customizations that you have added to your forum, so if you are running SMF 2.1.0 or higher, it is recommended that you apply the successive patches instead of using the Large Upgrade.

Title: Re: FamilyForum Changelog:
Post by: Mick on July 29, 2023, 07:59:12 AM
I think @rjen has recreated the issue your having with this version so it might be worth holding off and see if a solution is found.  But if you want to upgrade that's fine too, though I guess you'll probably have to at some point.  I did all mine a while back.
Title: Re: FamilyForum Changelog:
Post by: Ken on July 29, 2023, 08:18:02 AM
OK, I'll hold off to see what @rjen comes up with.
As for the process you mentioned on overwriting the files, I'll need to take a breath on that one because even though I know that you are right my skills are a bit eroded so it will take some reading to get me ready that leap.  :)
Title: Re: FamilyForum Changelog:
Post by: Mick on July 29, 2023, 08:59:51 AM
It can be a bit daunting and of course something to bare in mind, the themes used with 2.0.19 won't work with 2.1.4 likewise some or most of the mods you have installed also won't be compatible unless there is updated versions available for 2.1.4
Title: Re: FamilyForum Changelog:
Post by: Ken on July 29, 2023, 10:42:17 AM
Understood.
That's usually the case because Mod creators often stop updating their work. One case here is the PMXBlog, I finally turned it off because it had been so long since the last update(Jan, 2016?) and accessing it just threw a bunch of errors.

Mick and @rjen were working on this issue over on the TinyPortal site and @rjen came up with this fix:
Quote
Okay, I think for a quick fix we best skip the cache for the smileys in the shoutbox. This will not affect SMF2.1 because that effectively already skips the cache due to the changes in SMF2.1

Attached update TPShout.php file for TP2.3.1.
Just placing this in the Source folder will fix the issue on a SMF2.0 forum...

Mind you: you may need to clear your cache first...

I did as directed and uploaded the file and for now, thanks to Mick and @rjen, the Smileys seem OK.  :thumbup:

Also, this from Mick apparently helped.  :thumbup:

I turned the caching off on there and the smilies returned to to popup where they should be.  ;)

From TP:
Quote from: Ken. link=msg=303582 date=1690644242
On themes I use 'CleanWhite by Crip' and I think that Steve has already updated that one. There a few holiday themes that get used and if they stop working it's no great loss, the only exception is the Christmas(X-mas) theme, I love that one and would hate to lose it, but I don't think that it has been updated in a long time.

As Mods; many of the ones in use are really old and outdated, so after SMF is updated we'll have to see what will work and let the rest go.

Steve, can you show me a screenshot of what you're seeing please?   Also are you saying the smileys in the posts are ok, but in the TP shoutbox you can see all the smileys including the ones that should be in the popup?

I'm saying exactly that. The posts are ok but in the shoutbox I can see all of them.

Thanks Steve.  You have the smileys expanded.  Try clicking the little minus button at the beginning of the smileys

Ah! LMAO I never noticed that was changed until now. I knew it had to be something on my end. LOL

I do have a test site and plan to install it there so I can see how the themes look and maybe change the color of the icons to match them like I used to do with Logooff themes.

EDIT: OK, still a problem. Whenever I refresh the browser or click on anything it expands again???

That's strange Steve, not seen anyone else mention this.  What browser is this happening in? Wonder if it's a cookie thing in your browser. 

It's almost like the collapse / expand  button is working backwards for you.  If I expand the smileys and refresh the page it goes back to collapsed whereas yours works the other way around.

I'm using EDGE and no issues, what about you Ken?

Just tried it with these:
FF; no issues.
Brave; no issues.
Chrome; no issues.
Edge; no issues.
Opera; no issues.

That's all of the browsers in my lineup and they all look OK.

EDIT; forgot about this one:
DuckDuckGo; no issues.

Hi guys, It does it in FF and Chrome. So, it has to be something on my PC. I've disabled the extensions as well as disabling my Bitdefender firewall. So weird! LOL

EDIT: I'm starting to hear "The Twilight Zone" music... "The Haunting of OurFamilyForum"!!! Boo!  :D

Also, I've just noticed this with the calendar block:

I'm starting to think the problem is either a video card issue or a resolution issue. Resolution: 3840 x 2160? I may need to change to a more standard resolution???
