Shouts and Login going to Forums.

[ColdCoffee]

Ok I just recently reinstalled TP with the new beta build.
When I hit shout or login it brings me to forums instead of the frontpage.
Is there a setting I forgot to click ?

No, its supposed to do that. Its simply a fix for SMF. Since SMF expects a empty redirect would go to the forum index(thats the "frontpage" of SMF) TP changed that to go to TP frontpage. But by adding a "action=forum" into an empty redirect this problem in SMF is solved. However..shouting should redirect you to whatever page you are on, if not its a bug.

Login should ALWAYS redirect you to SMF "frontpage", so thats correct.

In .9 it would take you to the TP frontpage using the userbox to login and I liked that. I could create HTML blocks set them only for members to view and post important items into them. I'm afraid new members will miss them now if it goes directly to the forum index. Could I change something in 1.0.5 to make that work like the old one ?

Thank you for you response.

If you post on the shoutbox, it takes you to the forum, even when you post from the portal, i reported this in another topic here and was told it was a bug we have to "live with" for now

One option for you is to get something along the lines of yshout and use that in place of the shoutbox in a block, if I remember it was only a small bit of code to change in order to integrate it.

Its already fixed in the next beta, for shoutbox at least, so shouts made from portal frontpage doesn't redirect to forum index:

Open up tp-files/tp-modules/tp-shoutbox/Sources/TPShout.php and find:

Code Select Expand

redirectexit($_POST['tp-shout-url']);
Replace it with:

Code Select Expand

redirectexit($_POST['tp-shout-url'], false, true);



If you want to change it for all though, you can do that too. Open up Sources/Subs.php and find:

Code Select Expand

function redirectexit($setLocation = '', $refresh = false, $tp_not = false)

replace with:

Code Select Expand

function redirectexit($setLocation = '', $refresh = false, $tp_not = true)

any word on how to do this with the adv shoutbox?

[bloc]

Well, Stormlrd have been working on a fix for that one, so it will be out soon enough. I think he may have did it slightly different. The trouble is really that the update fucntion of TP modules isn't 100% yet otherwise you could just update the module with a click. We hope in beta 2 to have those in place and allow for easy updates of modules through TP admin. Much like SMF updates itself through package manager.

@Bloc, you could have patches that edit pre-existing code using mod packages.

Use a url base like-

Code Select Expand


http://yourdomain.com/forum/index.php?action=pgdownload;auto;package=http://tinyportal.co.uk/downloads/patch.zip;sesc=#

It'll be a 1-click patch download.

That code fixed both the shoutbox problem and my login problems

Shoutbox isnt picking up group colors tho bloc, dont know if you will fix this in the next release

Cheers for the update tho
