Thanks guys -
Well that's what I needed a point in the right direction. I changed the description field from VARCHAR type to TEXT which text has an 8000 character limit but the one bad thing is supposedly it takes a performance hit. I changed it and so far so good? I figured what the hell I could still get to phpMyAdmin if I hose up my forum.


See pic.

One or two silly questions. I have it running, no problems. But in the config for what stands "Pagerank" and "Alexa information"? Both are enabled, and "Show Alexa
Show Pagerank" also, but I cant see them. where does i find them?

[SMFHacks]

Pagerank and alexa are not currently supported/working

[klabautermann]

I have installed this MOD, it looked so good and will do what i need, But i have an issue.

I am using SMF 1.1.4 and i installed it.  I did install it while in the default theme, because you never know if a template will work or not or at least i never do.

What i get is in the Admin area under Configurations is a space inbetween server settings and current think.  I am assuming this space is suppose to be for links since it was not there before. What i do get is a way after it is installed to get to links anymore after that.  At shows under packages there and installed with no errors. 

   What i should add is right after it is installed you are in the links area to add links and all that, so it works.  What the issue is after you leave that area the first time, this is no way to get back to it via forums or in the admin section.

   If there is already a solution i missed for this or a item i need to check that i did not know.  Please let me know, i really want to use this mod.  I had saw under the mods comment i was not the only person having the same issue with SMF 1.1.4 with this mod.

Thank you!

Check your language under Sever Settings it should be english not english utf8 if you are not using english as the main language copy themes/default/languages/modifications.english.php to themes/default/languages/modifications.yourlanguage.php

[Flintridge]

First thank you for the very fast reply.

I went there and checked it, it has a drop down but my only choice is English. It had no other options. 

Here is the link to my site  www.newbieworldorder.com  I have it in default template while i work on this.

I use Tiny Portal.

I also noticed when i went to permissions, then group permissions there is a blank area with boxes to click but no words between personal messaging and Member Profiles. 

does that give you any clues of what i could try next?

Open up Modifications.english.php

Add these before ?>

I would like to add that you had a fix for it on the 3 page of this topic.  This completely worked for me..


Thank you,

[Flintridge]

I would like to add that i still get that space though

What i get is in the Admin area under Configurations is a space inbetween server settings and current think.

Not sure what that is about but was never there before the mod.

Thank you.

PS does not seem to hurt anything 

[Flintridge]

OK,

So now i have a new issue.  ^^   I changed back to my template i like to use Helios Multi and the link item in the menu bar disappeared, but when i go back to default it comes back.  I looked under languages for Helios but did not see the modification.english.php to add to it. 

Could you help me with what code on what file i need to edit to get it to work with any template that is not default?

Thank you,


I like to add i tried 5 different themes and all had the same issue.  So i can only assume its some file i need to add some code to right?

[Flintridge]

1. Depends if you are using a custom theme you will need to add a link or button.

2. Nothing is in the admin panel you manage all links from the links page.

3. Same as #1

This is probably a dumb question, but i am a noob at this.  How do i add a button to a theme? 

Update,

Went to the Indext.template.php

added the following code.

   // Show all the relative links, such as help, search, contents, and the like.
   echo '
   <link rel="help" href="', $scripturl, '?action=help" target="_blank" />
   <link rel="search" href="' . $scripturl . '?action=search" />
   <link rel="links" href="' . $scripturl . '?action=links" />
   <link rel="contents" href="', $scripturl, '" />';

<link rel="links" href="' . $scripturl . '?action=links" />

and Under this

// Show the menu up top.  Something like [home] [help] [profile] [logout]...
function template_menu()
{
        global $context, $settings, $options, $scripturl, $txt;

I added this

// How about the [links] button?
          echo '<td><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=links">', ($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/links.gif" alt="' . $txt['120'] . '" style="margin: 0px 0;" border="0" />' : $txt[120]), '</a></td>';

I put mine between my search button and arcade button in that list there.

I also created via paint a button from modifiy one of the buttons from the template to say links and uploaded it to:

Themes/heliosmulticolorTP/images/english/links.gif

All is well now except my poorly made button for that template

I hope that helps someone else, was kind of inconvenient to find but its one nice mod!! 

Thank you,
