Block or Article: Social Bookmarks snippet

[DawnsWebDesigns]

It's ok ianus.  I was just telling people what happened.  I probably didn't upload the images. 

But I already added the digg this topic mod.  It works.  So it wasn't worth the trouble to mess with this.  Blogs are more important to me than social bookmarking.  I don't even use most of the stuff myself...I KNOW my family/friends don't.  They won't even use our site.

So Tank don't be offended.  This is surely fine code.  I don't recall uploading any images...so I'm sure it's my fault it didn't work for me.  It's just not worth my trouble.  Most of the snippets/mods aren't worth my trouble.  There's a few I go for every single time.  Less is better.  Less potential for bugs/filled up error logs.

I never got offended.. and i wonder why my thread is being highjacked like this.. my snippet can not cause harm to any SMF/TP installation.. it dosnt interact with your database and if you didnt upload the images it would just show you some little red crosses. It can only cause a php error at the worst. And this snippet will act the same way no matter what versions of smf/TP that you are running. Only thing i can imaging is that your php version might not like some of the code..  So cheer up. TP is still the best software for creating nice websites

I never saw any X's...I didn't see nothing at all...a blank page.

But I found out my problems are with my host having things (fopen) disabled which makes free simple easy to use software programs basically worthless.  I can't use the feed poster mod or TP's feed blocks.

I've had several hosts over 8/9 years & this is the first that disabled things for security reasons.  Is everybody else ignorant?  Or are they ignoring the security issue & enabling things just to make these softwares work?

So I've either gotta figure out a custom php (heh heh heh...so funny)...or move to an ignorant host for ignorant self-taught do-it-yourselfers like myself.  Anybody know any good ignorant hosts?  Preferably one with a reseller program?

Code works with my install just great, except for one thing. It shows the domain name as subdomain (it's addon domain on this shared account) which I would like to avoid.

So, it is:

mywebsite.aaaaa.com

instead of

mywebsite.com

Can I get help to fix it?

Code Select Expand

function selfURL() {
$s = empty($_SERVER["HTTPS"]) ? '' : ($_SERVER["HTTPS"] == "on") ? "s" : "";
$protocol = strleft(strtolower($_SERVER["SERVER_PROTOCOL"]), "/").$s;
$port = ($_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"] == "80") ? "" : (":".$_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"]);
return $protocol."://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].$port.$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; }
function strleft($s1, $s2) { return substr($s1, 0, strpos($s1, $s2)); }

This bit of code actually graps the current address that the user is viewing when he clicks on one of the social bookmarks.. so if the address is a sub domain it will send that address to the rest of the script.. i did not write this code because php is not a language that i master in any way.. so maybe one of the fine php gurus can help determin how to fix the problem.. all i can say is that it works perfect on my site.. but then again, i dont use a subdomain..

Cheers

Can we get help from our php gurus, then?

Well I don't know much about the $_SERVER global, but from what it looks like it is using the current URL you are visiting. I have no idea how you could change it to make it use a different URL than what you are currently viewing.

[itweb]

Actually, it's grabbing the whole server path. As my domain is an addon, it also grabs the main domain.

Maybe there is a way to show just the current url, instead of server path?

Same Problem. I could really need a fix.

Hi,

I feel this is an excellent snippet/mod you have created...

I have been hunting for this for ages and the one on SMF site did not work with my theme even after modification..

I had to manually submit stories....

I love this mod very much and so do my site members...

Thanks
