FAQ

1. How do I rebuild Bitfields?
   Run the following: http://www.yoursite.com/forum/adminc...buildbitfields
2. Help! I ran the install Script, but My Phrases aren't showing!
   Go to your phrase manager. Open any phrase and save it.
3. My usergroup permissions aren't saving!
   Make certain you uploaded bitfields_userpage.xml to your includes/xml directory and that you rebuilt your bitfields.

Just installed in 3.5 Gold. Everything appears to be OK EXCEPT there are no links showing in the members user CP to create/edit the userpages. Links were added correctly in the usercpshell template. Permissions were properly set to yes for the usergroup.

Is it possible that the userpage_plugin.xml didn't import correctly (even though it said it did)?

Any ideas on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

People have been reporting the same problem at vbulletin.org. I just haven't had time to look into it and won't be messing with it until I work on the new versioin with the new features.

Yes I've read all 30 pages of that thread (twice) today. I always get a kick out of that first post where they tell you to send him an e-mail when the hack is done (they must not know how busy you are). Anyway we fixed the usercp problem It had to do with not installing the plugin correctly (even though it said it did).

Now we have have two small things not working, one phrase that is not showing up (see screenshot). All other phrases are fine. We checked in the ACP and the phrase DOES appear to be there (according to the phrase manager). We also tried saving it to see if that would help get it to show up, but when we try to report a userpage the error (shown in the screenshot) appears. Any ideas on what we should check to fix this?

Also it will not allow us to delete userpages (says we don’t have permission) even though permissions are set to yes, and bitfields have been rebuilt. How should we correct this?

THANK YOU Amy!

[AngelArs]

Fixed the error where we could not delete pages. The fix is below:

On lines 767 of the php file change:

PHP Code:

  if ($pageexists) 


to:

PHP Code:

  if (!$pageexists) 


Also another phrase appears to be 'missing' even though it's there (see thumbnail).

I hope I'm posting this in the right place-forum-thread if not would a mod move it to the proper one? Here goes:

I've installed this on my 3.5.4 'test' forum with no problem except for the 'report bad' thing not posting into the forum i set it to post to in the userpages.php file.
Also have:

• Added the link to userpage from viewprofile, no problem
• Added the link to the user pages list on the navbar, no problem

But, on my live board instead of having the link as described on the navbar would it be possible to change 'Memberlist' link on navbar to just 'Members' and turn it into a drop-down with the choice of 'Memberlist' link and 'Member-User Pages' link, similar to how the 'quick links' and 'usercp' dropdowns work. Or even add it to the Quick Links Drop-down.....but would prefer it under the 'Members' description above.

Reason being on my live board the navbar is already a bit crowded..UserCP-FAQ-Members List-Calendar-Chat Room-New Posts-Search-Quick Links it's getting a tad crowded and I really don't want to sqoosh things up or have to add another row, I think that would be too confusing for my users besides not looking all that great.

I know it will simply be a matter of editing the navbar accordingly, but I'm afraid of totally screwing it up. Any help would be appreciated

I'll see what I can do about your dropdowns later this evening. Is the report userpage throwing an error?

[Eq4bits]

no, but when you click the 'report' link you aren't give a place to write anything like in the example in the vb.org thread... I see the code is there, but when you click the link it just brings up a page with the header, navbar, the footer, but nothing in between. pretty sure i have permissiions for posting to the forum i made for reports but....

[Eq4bits]

Thanks Amy, got it figured out
here's what I did:
in navbar template:
found where I wanted the drop-down to be located on navbar (in this instance between 'FAQ' and 'Calendar' and added between them

<!-- Setup for Member menu in navbar -->
<td id="members" 
class="vbmenu_control">
<a href="$show[nojs_link]#members">Members</a> 
<script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("members"); </script></td>
<!-- / Setup for Member menu in navbar -->

Then, ABOVE

<!-- / NAVBAR POPUP MENUS -->

I put:

        <!-- Drop down for menu Member in navbar -->
                 <div class="vbmenu_popup"()
id="members_menu" style="display:none">
                <table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" 
border="0">
                <tr><td 
class="thead">Members</td></tr>
                <tr><td class="vbmenu_option">
                        <a href="memberlist.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[members_list]                                    </a></td></tr>
               <tr><td class="vbmenu_option">
               <a href="userpage.php?do=list">Members Pages</a></td></tr> 
               </table>
               </div>
        <!-- / Drop down for menu Member in navbar -->

it seems to be working simply smashing and I may just mod the FAQ link too to give a dropdown to the different catagories of FAQ's i have (i.e. vbulletin, sigmachat, clubspecific, etc...)

My forum is located at dawnsistersweyr.net/forums/
seems I can't post links yet, so I just took the http etc off, ..
edit: urgh, dontcha hate it when you forget a trailing slash? heh

Okay, now for the problem with the 'Report This Page' thing....
I did the fixes that were in chris langs post at vbulletin.org/forum/showpost.php?p=911906&postcount=970
have all permissions set correctly for usersgroups AND for the forum reporting/posting to;
I edited userpage.php and stipulated the forum i.d. for reports to post to but still not working...
attached are screen shots of what i get, 1st one is of the top part of user page with report link (circled).. when you press that link the next screen that shows up is what you see in the second screenshot... as you can see there is an open folder image below the name of the forum called 'Reports'... but that's not the name of the forum i.d# i put in the userpage.php... also you will note that there's not a place to actually write a post/text area for person reporting to type why they are reporting it.; also when i go to the forum it's supposedly sending this report to there's nothing new there, just what is normally in that forum, no reports at all... what have I done wrong?

[Eq4bits]

oh and is there a template or phrase or something that can be changed so that 'location' when viewing 'whose online' doesn't show up as in attached pic? To make it 'viewing members with personal pages' or even just 'searching forums' like it does when someone is utilizing the newposts or todays post search button... just wondering,
