Recently instaled on nuke 7.5 with chatservs v3.0 patches - I'm just getting a blank page when accessing the module - any idea's??

Module is activated.
I even commented out the file check at the beginning of index.php but not luck at all.

So far, I think the error is with

Code:

get_lang($module_name)

as commenting this out means the page loads but with no language defines being imported from the language file.
I have added some echo statements to the file in order to assist with diagnosis.

Has anyone else having a problem with this module or could it be something specific to my installation?

I think the problem was with the Language file! here where I fixed

I noticed that <? in my php editor was not red so I thought there something missing or not there! learning bit by bit! colon on the second one "

define("_MCSPONSOR","<center>Place any text or ad here. Or erase _MCSPONSOR to keep it blank.</center><br />');

define("_MCSPONSOR","<center>Place any text or ad here. Or erase _MCSPONSOR to keep it blank.</center><br />'");

Still trying to figure out how to set it up like the site described somewhere can't remember where? not a php god yet!

If you can figure how to add it please drop me a note or two!

Thanks

Good catch!!
I missed that one completely!!!!!!!!!

Off to try and get it all set up now - I don't see any link to it on this site but I'm no doubt in for a fun time.

Configuration is done from the language file

Code:

define("_MCARTICLETOPICNUM","2");//topic number
define("_MCFORUMSTOPICID","4");//forum id
define("_MCLINKCATID","2");//link category

where topic number, I assume means news topic category
forim id means forum category
link category - I am assuming that refers to the Weblinks module category.

Are you still using this- you module page is inactive, there is a new version out. http://www.metopen.com/project_details-25-MetOpen_Super_Topics.html

Hi, I just installed the latest version to my site - v7.5 and I'm getting the following error msg: Warning: mysql_fetch_row(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/bportal/public_html/includes/sql_layer.php on line 286

Other links seem to be fine.

Any suggestions?

Hi, can you give some script examples on how to add images w/links and/or google ads to the MCSPONSOR tags?

Thanks.

do you get that error message instead of the whole module or is that just one error message you get somewhere- if so where...

all language definitions need to be excaped. so if you want to print a " you need to write \". MCSPONSOR would be:
"<a href=\"test.html\">this is a link </a>"
or for an image
"<img src=\"test.img\" alt=\"test image\" >"

The error is in the articles section only.

All others seem to be working fine.

Dont know what it could be. what's your value for: _CATIDTIP

Newbie Joined: Jun 25, 2005 Posts: 14

Which file would I find it under?

I checked the metopen file and the lang-english?

Regards.

Sorry I looked in the wrong file.

what are your values for: _MCARTICLETOPICNUM and _MCARTICLESTORYNUM ?
(you'll find them in the language file)

Another possibility is that you dont use nuke_ as your prefix? (This is fixed in the upcoming version).

Hi.

I checked the file and did not see the _MCARTICLESTORYNUM

Also, the prefix is different from nuke.
