Module: Favorite Forums

Is this module dependent to another module? I am not able to activate it, the according field on the admin panel is grey although I uploaded a fresh version. Mh..

Please redownload the module and reupload the info.txt file. The required version was set at 5.2 and should have been 5.2.01. Thanks for catching that bug.

No, I am sorry that I didn't catch it! Thanks, problem solved!
Could you give me a hint how to use this module to integrate an option for users to select their preferred (home-)folder during registration while setting a custom field with the according folder id? I think that there is no hook "during_registration"!? I need this option in order to set forum permissions. Thanks for your thought!

did you check the developer manual? there is a section called "user data handling" for hooks where there are quite some registration hooks.

Yes, I did. I assumed that "before_register" is the hook after the user submitted his registration data. I need to add an option during the registration process. Thanks.

you mean in the form? add it in the template then.

Thanks for the hint, Thomas! I managed to integrate the folder list into register.tpl. Now I am trying to set the custom variable $folder_sel with the selected $forum_id (line 3). It only catches the value 1 though. What is the mistake I make? Thank you!

Language: PHP
global $PHORUM;
            $forums = phorum_mod_favorite_forums_get_forums();
        $content = "<select name=';folder_sel"."[]'; size=';5';>";(custom variable)
        foreach ($forums as $forum_id => $forum_data) {
            if (!empty($forum_data["folder_flag"])) {
 
                $content .= "<option value=\"{$forum_id}\"";
                if (!empty($dropdown_chosen)) {
                    foreach ($dropdown_chosen as $chosen) {
                        if ($chosen == "$forum_id") {
                            $content .= " selected=';selected';";
                            break;
                        }
                    }
                }
                $content .= ">".$forum_data["name"]."</option>";
            }
}
        $content .= "</select>".$HTML_wrappers["data_end"];
        print $content;

There is a bug in this module.

When a user is logged in and trying to open an attachement it redirects user to the main page. The problem is in here;

Language: PHP
if (!empty($PHORUM["args"])) {
        if (in_array("addfavorite",$PHORUM["args"])) {
//Add a forum to the favorite forum list from a link
            if (!empty($PHORUM["user"]["FavoriteForums"])) {
                $PHORUM["user"]["FavoriteForums"] = $PHORUM["user"]["FavoriteForums"].",".$PHORUM["args"][0];
            } else {
                $PHORUM["user"]["FavoriteForums"] = $PHORUM["args"][0];
            }
            $user_to_update = Array(
                "user_id" => $PHORUM["user"]["user_id"],
                "username" => $PHORUM["user"]["username"],
                "FavoriteForums" => $PHORUM["user"]["FavoriteForums"]
                );
 
            phorum_api_user_save($user_to_update);
            if (in_array("index",$PHORUM["args"])) {
                $dest_url = phorum_get_url(PHORUM_INDEX_URL);
                phorum_redirect_by_url($dest_url);
                exit();
            }

I have changed this line;

Language: PHP
if (!empty($PHORUM["args"])) {

with this as a quick&dirty solution, but it needs a better one.

Language: PHP
if (!empty($PHORUM["args"]) && !preg_match("/^\/file\.php/", $_SERVER[';PHP_SELF';])) {

best,

Hello folks,

I´ve added this module to my forum list, looks great, nevertheless, when you select any forum as favourite, the rest of the list does not show the "last post module", author and subject appear empty, does anyone knows how to solve this?

Example



Thank you in advance.

pepe

I have released v5.2.1.4 of this module with the following changes:

- Bugfix: Users can now deselect all favorited forums from the Control Center. Thanks go to Phorum user masei1202 for reporting this bug.

- Bugfix: Removed various PHP notices.

- Bugfix: Updated Phorum version requirement to be compatible with the Phorum version checker.
