Sub-Forums for RavenNuke 2.4

Posted: Tue Mar 30, 2010 10:52 am

Hello guys.

Today wanted to create some forums but I realized I had to create some sub-forums but actually this version doesnt have it. I downloaded the last version of sub-forum and the old version mod. It was a lot of work but at the end I got a blank page when I wanted to enter to control panel from the forum. I brought everything back again Embarassed

I would like you to advice me what I should do about it. I do need to do sub-forum mod otherwise my forum will be long way to scroll down. Thanks in advace for your time.

Good evening,
It is possible to install sub-forums on bbtonuke..
I succeeded to install them on rn2.3.01 but haven't tried on RN2.4 . However my attempt succeeded on the second try.
I know for a fact that two versions of sub-forums exist for bbtonuke but only one works right out-of-the-box for the latest version, the other one displays the same symptoms that you are describing (blank page on ACP). On the other side I remember having problems with the good version displaying nothing else than blank , but that was due to a mis-installation of the mod.

If I remember correctly, the working one takes 30 mins to install , but the "non-working" one takes up to 70 mins (more or less than 3 hours of hair-tearing).

have a good day.

Can you please guide wich one I have to use because I used the last version with the last version of RN 2.40.1. I wonder why this sub-forum is not implement it yet. it is so important in order to organize the forum if you are thinking of building a concise forum. Thanks in advance. I will wait for your answer

This is what I did

unicornio,

RavenNuke(tm) has never had sub-forums. So if you were using it then you must have added it yourself.

I am doing that right now Raven.

I am having a little problem in understanding this part

Code:




#


#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------


#


<td class="row2"><span class="gen"><a href="{catrow.forumrow.U_VIEWFORUM}"








#


#-----[ IN-LINE FIND ]------------------------------------------


#


"row2"








#


#-----[ IN-LINE AFTER, ADD ]------------------------------------------


#


{catrow.forumrow.STYLE}





Can u please tell me how if they mean to do this








Solution:





<td class="row2"{catrow.forumrow.STYLE}><span class="gen"><a href="{catrow.forumrow.U_VIEWFORUM}"

Is this correct?

I guess they mean this

Code:

<td class="row2">{catrow.forumrow.STYLE}<span class="gen"><a href="{catrow.forumrow.U_VIEWFORUM}"

I cant get it work. I give up with this sub-forum mod. I spent 45 minutes but this subforum is not compatible with RaveNuke.

I have a sub-forums mod working. I just need to edit the theme templates for the themes that do not use subSilver, and then I will post it for testing.

Test this out and tell me what you think.

I had subforums working on 2.30.00 very nicely.. but it was a maddening experience...

just upgraded to 2.40.01 and still working on getting all the kinks worked out, then i'll tackle subforums and let ya know how it goes.

Palbin, 1000 of thanks my friend. I didnt see this post until now. I will try to isntall it today. Thanks a lot buddy. I hope this necessary sub-forums comes with the next version of RaveNuke. it is really necessary to organize your forum.

Palbil, Excellent, Thank you very much. I just installed it and it is working properly, no erros, no problems.

Posted: Thu Apr 08, 2010 1:38 pm

Palbin, please write this up in Mantis for 2.41.00 and add it to the wiki. We may skip 2.40.02 and have a quick release of 2.41.00 in a month or so. Thanks!

Does that mean you plan to have sub-forums in the default package?

Btw isn't 2.40.02 supposed to be the "stable" version?

Hi eldorado

Do you know how important is to have an organize forum?

In my opinion there are many mods which are not necessary but sub-forums is so important nowadays. phpbb3 has it and I guess Raven is considering to include a nice sub-forum like this one. Thanks Palbin and Raven for taking into account my suggestion.

Yes , I actually do unicornio , one of the reasons i haven't upgraded from 2.3 on my gaming website.
I also have AUC on.

v2.40.01 is the current stable version.
v2.40.00 through 2.40.99 would be for bug fixes only.
v2.41.00 through 2.99.00 would be for enhancement releases and any bug fixes along the way.

Using v2.40.01 as an example:
2 is the Major release number.
40 is the Minor release number but would include fixes AND enhancements.
01 is the Bug Fix release number.

Sorry, I mistranslated. I thought 2.40.02 was going to be the next version.

I was expecting you did your versioning Linux style.
as 2.40.xx being a "Long Term Support" version and 2.41.xx being an "engine test" before 2.42.xx

like OpenSuse11.1 isn't considered as LTS whereas 11.2 is Smile

but that versioning doesn't work well with php( thinking of it)

We decided to use kind of a mash-up. Sorry for the confusion!

Take a look at Palbin's and see if you see any issues. Thanks for your offer to help!

I tested this mod on other hosting with RavenNuke. Working perfect. Just to let you know. Very Happy

I have never used a sub-forum MOD because of the site I have visited that use them, I find them hard to navigate.
One thing I'm certainly interested in is if the url shortening still works and gives nice links.

Posted: Thu Jun 03, 2010 9:09 am

Little late, but yes the url shortening still works as it is still just a link to said forum.
