Rockas, I would say the problems you're having are theme dependent like I've had. I use chaoticsoul for my theme and the forum was pretty much just the background color since that was what the theme had set. To solve this problem I had to create new styles in the css file and then link to them in the theme.inc file which is in the adaptor>includes folder. I know your problem isn't color related but what I'm suggesting is maybe you should start looking at the theme.inc file for the areas you're having trouble with and then editing them to how you need them to be. You may have to add more to your themes css file in order to make the fix the forum without messing up your theme though.

It's working for me but the only problem with this is that when foulu updates the forum you'll have to re-edit the theme.inc file again as I had to do today. A small problem though when you consider the great possibilities this plugin has over bridging a forum. In my opinion anyway.

*edit* Another oddity, I was viewing the code for the message preview and comparing to the previous version of the forum and it matched 100%. I didn't change the code at all but now my preview is working properly. Not sure why it wasn't working before and is now but it is so that's good.


^Nevermind, I uploaded the old themes.inc file over the new one and that's why the preview was working.

*edit 2* I found the problem with the message preview. In the code it looks like this:
Code: [Select]
make_request("forum.misc.php?action=preview&message="+document.forms
but in the old themes.inc file, when preview worked, it looked like this:
Code: [Select]
make_request("forum.misc.php?action=preview&message="+document.forms
So when I removed the amp; from between preview and message the preview worked fine again. I uploaded the corrected themes.inc file just in case foulu is busy and doesn't get to fixing this soon. The only modification to this file is the correction of the preview, everything else is the same as in the zip on the main post.

*edit 3* I have found several other cases where amp; was added in the code where it wasn't present before. I'm assuming the editor may have placed them there but I don't know for sure. I haven't noticed any other functionality being messed up though so I don't know if they are supposed to be there or not. I removed them from the file on my site and everything is working great but I suppose foulu will have to confirm if they're supposed to be there or not. I didn't update the zip I uploaded since I didn't know for sure if they should be removed. I'm also trying to find out where the problem with the scroll bar not appearing the post box is but I'm not a coder so I'm not positive on where to begin looking for that.

Check my first post for new version. And if anyone want to modify theme.inc.php you can create theme_{THEME_NAME}.php in adaptor/theme folder and copy the template from theme.inc.php and edit it.

i perfectly understand what you mean foulu but after trying about half a dozen themes i may say the plugin isn't compatible with any of them although i got them from the project page of coppermine although none of the ones integrated with coppermine installation.
So... even if it is compatible with the ones coming with installation, is this plugin being made just for those themes (i really don't like any of them... they were made by programmers not designers, i guess lol)?

if the answer is yes, then i am afraid it won't be useful for the great majority of users.

i'm not saying you must fix all but if possible comment a bit more the source file themes_inc... or add your own css to deal with sizes only not graphic aspect or colors.

is this possible?

forgive me if i'm asking the impossible.

thank you for your time

Thanks for the quick update on this. So far everything seems to be working properly.

*edit* While using the forum today I found a couple bugs. Though the url bbcode does work it only allows you to have one link per post. Also, from time to time, after submitting the post extra spaces get added in. Sometimes it's between words and sometimes it's in the middle of a word.

I already add a method for modify the theme without modify "themes.inc.php" directly. And I think my "themes.in.php" is rather easily to understand. If you check "themes.in.php" of the coppermine, it has the same format as mine. And all theme of coppermine is created by user not programer, right ? Sorry if I disappoint you.

1. It has something relative with "word break" feature, if your word length is more than define length then the script will add spaces between two part. I will check it !
2. And the bbcode feature which I use is come from coppermine so it is in coppermine core code. Can't do anything about it.

hi foulu

new post are group by topic id.

from the words "recent posts" i would expect the latest posts, even if they are in the same topic.. but if you want to show only the last 5 posts in different topics, your sql statement doesn't work properly

in adaptor/source/index.view.php on line 88 is:
Code: [Select]
$recent_post_array = cpgdb_fetch_rowset("SELECT board_id, topic_id, msg_id, subject, poster_id, poster_name, poster_time FROM `{$CONFIG['TABLE_FR_MESSAGES']}` GROUP BY (topic_id) ORDER BY msg_id DESC LIMIT 5;");this code doesn't necessarily fetch the latest posts..

instead use this code for fetching recent posts (if you want to group them by topic):
Code: [Select]
$recent_post_array = cpgdb_fetch_rowset("SELECT board_id, topic_id, msg_id, subject, poster_id, poster_name, poster_time FROM `{$CONFIG['TABLE_FR_MESSAGES']}` WHERE msg_id IN (SELECT MAX(msg_id) FROM `{$CONFIG['TABLE_FR_MESSAGES']}` GROUP BY topic_id) ORDER BY msg_id DESC LIMIT 5;");

my problem that guests can post works now as it should, after i uploaded the new files a third time ??? i don't know what was wrong...

Nah! no disappointment at all... just keep up the good work :-)
My only difficulty is being a complete newbie to coppermine and even using firefox web developers tools, i really can't find the way to make those fields smaller. Seems to me the problem resides on a block named "table.maintable" (that gets 1017px somehow while it should be 617 at the most) that i can't find anywhere?!?!?!
Anyway... already started working on a new theme based on a working one so soon everything will be ok :-)
I just wish coppermine themes were more "html" templates based but this is just my "complaining me" talking lol

Again... thank you for this great plugin,
Rockas

with regards to this, in the forum settings there is one for "Break up words with more letters than (0 to disable)"   by default its set to 30.
so if you put in a url or img bbcode link it adds a space every 30 letters.
just set it to 0 to turn off the feature and img and url bbcode works fine.
