Icy Phoenix

not only you are lost , Lopa

i think he´s got the most of the coders crazy, searching around

If and when the MOD is finished, it should be a good example of how MG now handles the catrows and block vars in forum_admin.php and forum_extend_admin.php.

While I can see what he has done - working out the whole scenario left me somewhat bewildered. :(

Anyway, he did say he would have a look at it this weekend. So we're getting closer. ;)

Thanks again..
If you can tell me, i would like to know if you continue doing this..
If that's true, i would like to see the code... So, i can try to help you xD..
Thanks!!

Yes, we're going to continue doing it until it's working 100%.

As for the code - I think it's better if MG sorts out the Admin problems because he did make it quite different from what we're all used to.

;)

I'll hopefully have a look tomorrow on this.

I'm gonna' fly over to Italy and look over your shoulder while your doing it.!

So don't start until I get there!! :twisted:

If you are interested, I may point my webcam on my LCD... :LOL:

Hehehehe!,

I had another look at that rotten MOD today, and still couldn't work it out. :(

But your other post with the tutorial has hopefully thrown some light on what you are up to. Other than that - - I've gone as thick as a brick! :mryellow:

That mod is a total mess... it needs a recode.

I have just made some basic adjustments and fixes (for example the common thanks switch is used, so there is no need to add another one).

I have added some constants and removed some unuseful code.

I have also reformatted the code and the TPL.

What I would do:

• I would remove the buttons to thanks and I would just add a text link (avoid unuseful graphics elements in mod... or we need to have graphics for all styles!).
  
• I would remove the popup feature (it is awfully coded and unuseful because it doesn't update the post view).
  
• I would optimize the SQL which currently aren't... and those SQL will add a lot of charge to viewtopic.
  
• I would add the "cleaning" parts to functions and integrate them properly into Icy Phoenix functions (this to avoid that some mess remains after users / posts deletion).

Apart of that... the mod should work at least in a basic way. :LOL:

I don't have the time to improve it further now, because I'm working on other stuffs.

What did you expect for a phpBB version 1.nothing MOD? :mryellow:

I knew it was rough and probably a Hackers "Dream" - But I didn't want to take it any further until I could see that it could in fact address the Db from the admin panel just to turn the "Bloody" thing on and off. :LOL:

You have done us all proud MG, and we do appreciate it. Now I'll have a look-see and see if I can make all the recommended changes and present it as an acceptable MOD.

If I can't - I'm gonna' kill myself. :censored:

PS: Do you want me to add your name to the credits, or should I say "MOD by MG - Lopa' helped a little bit". :icy_lol_flag: :lol_flag:

I've given this thing away, so anyone else can have a go if they wish. :mryellow:

I'm also beginning to agree with MG too that the thing is going to give the DB one hell of a workout once users start congratulating others excessively, and is not something that Icy Phoenix needs. :(

But I have started on something else which in my opinion does basically the same thing under a different name. And I don't know how long this one will take me to finish, but I do prefer this to the Thanks Mod.

I agree with you and MG on that.

It´s already dificult not to overcharge the db operations. And if a thank´s mod start´s crosschecking everything it will drive us all crazy. And maybe timeout or crash in the worst.

I also like the idea of a Karma Mod or Reputation.. I previously posted in that topic about porting that mod to the new version... If that is lighter and you can do it, i like the idea!!!

I´m working on the Karma Mod from Todo-Mod´s

will post it here when i got it up and running

I've finished the Reputation MOD. Now all I have to do is drag out all the changes and do fresh install, put it all together and write up the Docs for it. ;)

Sometime in the next week, because I have a few other things to do that are priority one. :P
