Is the forum module capable to handle nested url's ?

Hey there,

it would be quite easier to answer fresh problems of others if there would be something like a 'latest posts' view in this forum. Almost as usefull could it be if read posts would be marked somehow. I really would like to give something back to this forum and these functions would make it easier. (Or do they already exists and I'm just to stupid to find them? ;))

Just my 2 Cent!

Problem since 2.4.6

WalterW — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 02:20:46 +1300

We use the forum module quite a while under 2.4.5 (the last forum forum-0.3-r113106.tar.gz)
Now we changed to 2.4.6 with the blackcandy5 theme and now we get a lot of silverstripe errors, when our users look around in the forum entries. We cannot exactly determine the way how to reproduce the error

Warning: popCurrent called on ModelAsController controller, but it wasn't at the top of the stack

Anyone has some idea?
Is it the theme or is it 2.4.6 ???

Re: Javascript error when attaching files to forum posts.

Okay, a few minutes after posting the question, I have my answer. The version of jQuery.MultiFile.js in the forum module is old. Replacing it with the latest version fixes the problem. I'll be posting a bug ticket shortly.

Javascript error when attaching files to forum posts.

HansR — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 15:29:38 +1300

I'm getting the following javascript error with the first attempt to attach a file to a forum post:

An invalid or illegal string was specified
div.innerHTML = wrap[1] + elem + wrap[2];

This error occurs in line 4448 of jQuery.js. After this error, the second attempt to attach a file works, but not exactly the way that it's supposed to. Basically, the filename ends up in the filename entry box, and clicking post will upload it. However, multi-file attachment doesn't work.

Has anyone else encountered this before? More importantly, how can this problem be fixed? It occurs with the latest trunk version of the forum module, and was tested with Firefox.

Submit patches to the module, what each author does it up to them.

SS3.0 alpha is due early next year, I would suggest a beta a few weeks after that so you're looking at a couple months till everything settles down a bit.

@Willr

Thanks. I haven't had a chance to try out your suggestion yet, but it looks like it should work.

You'll likely run into some issues with all the modules and 3.0. I'm holding off working on them till the 3.0 beta is out and API's stable so you'll likely run into a number of things that have been deprecated.
Will the 3.0 beta be out soon? I realise that no definite timeline was given, but a vague idea would be helpful.

Given that the API is still unstable, would submitting patches for modules be a waste of time? Some of the modules don't need much work to get them going.

Forum module, Silverstripe 3, and InnoDB

HansR — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 17:48:28 +1300

I tried to use the Forum module with the latest Silverstripe 3 alpha, but the build failed because InnoDB doesn't support full-text search (until MySQL 5.6). I'm not in a position to upgrade the database, so is there a way to switch to MyISAM for just the Post class?

Or, is there another method to get it to not use the "fulltext" option without modifying the module's code directly? If I use a different search engine, then it wouldn't be needed anyway.

Which plugin was it?

Often plugins need to make database changes so a good idea is to always run dev/build/?flush=all after adding one. Also, put your site in dev mode by adding Director::set_environment_type("dev"); to your _config.php file.

Before I dive into a bucket full of custom SQL, just wondering if anyone here has already written a code snippet that retrieves something like Most Active Users, based on number of posts/replies/etc.

So far I think I'll need to follow http://www.silverstripe.org/dataobjectmanager-module-forum/show/13265 and do a count of Post, grouped by Member. Does that sound right?

Best Practices for Tagging (Tags, TagField, etc.) across entire site - Forum, Blog, and other pages

johnmblack — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 12:57:53 +1300

I'm having difficulty getting the tagging data that is built into the Blog module to be made available to Forum posts and the core website. I tried also installing the TagField module, but that doesn't seem to be the same tag feature as the one included in the Blog, and in fact seems to conflict with the Blog's models. Has anyone had any success coming up with a unified Tagging model that works across all page types?

The real issue I'm having is that I'm not using a SS installation for a blog, or for a forum, or for a website -- I'm using it for all three at the same time.

Re: ForumRole::NumPosts() includes spam posts

johnmblack — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 18:55:12 +1300

I considered that -- there are currently 4 statuses on the Post class:

"Status" => "Enum('Awaiting, Moderated, Rejected, Archived', 'Moderated')",

I don't know when Archived comes into play but it seems like it would be another type of "valid" post.

It would take two conditions one way or another -- either we say "not awaiting or rejected", or we say "yes archived or moderated". Now consider that as people extend the forum module (or enhance its core) there may be additional statuses, and this has the potential to be a "gotcha" in that regard. The question is -- do we think it is more likely for additional statuses to be of the Valid kind, or of the Invalid kind? If we think it's more likely for extended statuses to be Valid ones, then it is safer to code against the "not awaiting or rejected".

Re: ForumRole::NumPosts() includes spam posts

Willr — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 18:45:59 +1300

Good catch! But wouldn't it be better to only count the moderated posts rather than not awaiting and not rejected?

return (int) DB::query("
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM \"Post\"
WHERE \"AuthorID\" = '" . $this->owner->ID . "' AND \"Status\" = 'Moderated'")->value();

If you submit the fix to github I'll add that in. If you want to earn extra points, add a unit test showing that it works (doesn't count awaiting posts)

Thanks!

ForumRole::NumPosts() includes spam posts

johnmblack — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 07:00:20 +1300

ForumRole::NumPosts() looks like:

function NumPosts() {
   if(is_numeric($this->owner->ID)) {
      return (int)DB::query("SELECT count(*) FROM \"Post\" WHERE \"AuthorID\" = '" . $this->owner->ID . "'")->value();
   } else {
      return 0;
   }
}

But this returns not just *approved* posts -- it will also include any spam that has not yet been reviewed (and spam that was rejected.) A spammer can therefore rack up X number of not-yet-approved posts, and bypass any logic that anyone writes against NumPosts.

I just added the following into my own member extension:

   function NumApprovedPosts()
   {
      if(is_numeric($this->owner->ID)) {
         return (int)DB::query("SELECT count(*) FROM \"Post\" WHERE \"AuthorID\" = '" . $this->owner->ID . "' AND \"Status\" != 'Awaiting' AND \"Status\" != 'Rejected'")->value();
      } else {
         return 0;
      }
   }

Does that look right? (Is there a better way to do this?) I'd prefer negative awaiting/rejected instead of affirmative on the others, since it is more likely that status might be added in the future that are more related to valid posts than invalid.

Re: Get User to change password on next login

JonoM — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 13:19:09 +1300

Looking at the Member table there is a PasswordExpiry column which accepts a date. For all members you want to have reset their password - maybe try setting that date to a date in the past? I assume this would force a member to change their password upon next login.

If that doesn't work another possibility is to use the MemberPassword table - all previous passwords are stored here for any member (so if required you can ensure members don't use a previous password). You could write some simple SQL to count the number of passwords stored here for a particular member, if the count is only 1 then you can assume they're using the original password you generated for them and prompt them to change it.

Re: Short Codes (or Extending BBCode) in the Forum Module

johnmblack — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 05:56:10 +1300

Thanks swaiba, I actually need to go in the other direction (get SS shortcodes working inside blog/forum) but you've just pointed me in the right direction for hooking into the bbcode parser.

I think my short term fix is going to be simply adding the 2 or 3 custom codes there to try to function the same way as over on the main site. But I'm also wondering if I could make BBCodeParser.php look at the SS shortcode collection in real time, and include them, such that *any* custom shortcode also works in Blog/Forum. If that works out, maybe you folks would find it useful in the core? I'll let you know how it goes.

Hi John,

I can't comment too much on the forum module, however regarding bbcode. out of the box silverstripe itself supprots basic bbcode. Just replace $Content this in your template with...

$Content.Parse(BBCodeParser)

Short Codes (or Extending BBCode) in the Forum Module

johnmblack — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 04:44:31 +1300

We added some custom short codes to the "core" site code to allow various media embedding. We are now installing the Forum Module. The customer's two biggest requirements are:

- BBCode or similar, not full HTML, for security reasons
- Authors must be able to embed the same kinds of media as the core site.

Is this possible out of the box? Do I understand correctly that the BBCode components are totally separate from the SS ShortCode capabilities? If that is the case, is there a way to *add* a custom BBCode similar to how I added the SS shortcodes? (I don't mind hacking into the bbcode php, if that is possible.)

Thanks!

I have a ConfirmedPasswordField in my edit profile page that loads details from the $Member. I can save and edit here just fine but the minor problem is that I think it's showing the sha1 characters in the circled out characters for existing passwords.

e.g. I create a user with a password of 'elf' and then go to the edit profile screen. The change password and confirm password fields have content in them that is, I'm guessing, the sha1 code i.e. instead of seeing *** in the fields, I see ********************************************************

Is there a way I can get the hidden characters to reflect the actual length of the password? I'm not sure if this is possible...

The other potential solution was mentioned here ( http://api.silverstripe.org/2.4/forms/fields-formattedinput/ConfirmedPasswordField.html#methodperformReadonlyTransformation ) where the poster suggested making the password fields empty and then not saving them. I can do this but that then triggers validation. If I turn off the validation then they can potentially set their passwords to an empty string.

So...not the biggest problem in the world but wondering if i'm the only one who has experienced it?

Any help appreciated.

Regards,

Andrew

Use the latest forum master release from the github page as it should include some fixes for exactly that. Just like most of the modules currently around, master is the one to use as they're all being used as 'stable' (apart from cms/sapphire).

Hi all,

I cannot install the forum module. I use SS 2.4.5/Postgresql 8.3.5/Forum 0.3.0

Here is the message:

Re: Disable User Registration

Could you explain a bit further the part of how can I use redirect in _config.php to disable member registration?
I like the way it sounds, but I couldn't find how to set the director rule in _config.php
So plz give me a link to what I need or just the code I have to save in _config.php

thank you all!

Apologies for opening an old thread but I was having similar problem.

I found it in the admin area under the topic > Access > Can users attach files?

When changing this however it raised an error

[User Notice] Upload::setAllowedMaxFileSize() is deprecated. Please use Upload_Validator::setAllowedMaxFileSize() instead

To fix change this line in Forum.php (appears twice)

$fileUploadField->setAllowedMaxFileSize(1000000);

$f_validator = new Upload_Validator();
$f_validator->setAllowedExtensions(array('pdf','png','jpg')); // set your extensions here
$f_validator->setAllowedMaxFileSize( array('*' => 1000000) );
$fileUploadField->setValidator($f_validator);

Forum: Members cannot change profile - access issue

DeklinKelly — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 08:52:46 +1300

Logged in members cannot access these pages:
/ForumMemberProfile/
ForumMemberProfile/edit/

The get an error:
You don't have access to this page. If you have another account that can access that page, you can log in again.

I tried this but it did not help:

class ForumMemberProfile extends Page_Controller {

function canView () {
return true;
}

Forum Pagination Issue

DeklinKelly — Fri, 16 Sep 2011 09:36:29 +1200

In Forum.php, I edited the Topics function to display 70 topics at once.

function Topics() {
if(isset($_GET['start']) && is_numeric($_GET['start'])) $limit = Convert::raw2sql($_GET['start']) . ", 70";
else $limit = 70;

The problem is, the pagination links at the bottom go in increments of 10!

When you click on the link for Page 2, it puts &start=10 in the URL instead of &start=70 and it shows way too many pagination links!

Not built into the module, though lots of requests for it. Here's a couple long standing tickets for the features -

If you get syntax highlighting working please submit a patch!
