Forums collapsing block issue

registered · Posted: Tue Mar 13, 2007 10:27 am

Guess this is not exactly conversion issue, it is a bug in collapsing forums block, but since it come out during conversion test, I'm posting it here.

The name of forums RSS generator is hardcoded on line 135 character 67. So you can change the setting at the beginning of the file as many times as you want, it does nothing. I checked the latest version, it is still there. Guess this was the last bug left Smile

Thanks, Misha

I think you just volunteered yourself to be involved in the next release as a Quality Assurance Team Member! See what happens when you start finding things we missed killing me

? We will be looking into this and getting back to you.

p.s. I am serious about the QA Team. If you are interested and willing, please PM me with some background bio info Smile

Well, risking to lose your offer, I dare to disagree Mr. Green

Mentioned post has nothing to do with my original issue. My less then perfect English could, cause you obviously did not understand what I was trying to tell.

I ran into this problem first time long ago, at the time I installed your block, but I did not have time to investigate back then, I just renamed the rss generator to whatever was default name in the settings, and it went fine, and I forgot about it.

This problem has nothing to do with javascript. It is not something that needs investigation - It needs correction. I pointed out where it should be fixed, so please open your master copy of block-ForumsCollapsing.php and on line 135 character 67 replace backendforums.php with '.$backendForumsXML.' You may know better way of coding this, but this way works for me. Mr. Green

Thanks, Misha

I'm sorry. I answered your post instead of someone else's. Juggling too many things.

Line 135 should be changed as follows:

Code:

   if (strlen($backendForumsXML)>0) $contentXML = '<center><a href="'.$backendForumsXML.'" title="'.bfcBACKENDTITLE.'"><img src="images/blocks/xmlicon.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a></center>';
