I´m pretty familiar with this module from my previous forums. Now, I´m trying to use it with "virtual hosting" module, but it is not working.

After turning on this module, all colors and layout get lost on my forums. After turning off this module, everything go back to normality. I put together 6 forums with "virtual hosting", all of them were affected, so I decided to remove this module.

Any idea about how to make it compatible with virtual hosting?. Thanks

How can I specify the color for visited links?

The first time I successfully applied a modified color scheme and then navigated to the updated site, I had this PHP error:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in C:\xampp\htdocs\phorum\mods\easy_colorscheme\easy_colorscheme.php on line 14

But otherwise the module seems to work, so I won't worry about it. FYI, I have phorum version version 5.2.14 and PHP version 5.2.8

It seems, that Module: Easy Color Scheme Manager 5 2 1 08 does not want to work with Phorum version 5.2.13

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{' in .../public_html/mods/easy_colorscheme/settings.php on line 1376

Hi,

I was having the same problem of "accessing the admin after a security timeout.", and am using kevinkevins approach of readding the phorum_admin_token variable, but this time appending it to the query string - since occasionally the "location" header is issued, which I assume would not preserve POST variables .. check the attached diff.

Hope this helps,
Cheers!

EDIT: It helped very much. Thank you for posting your bugfix. I have incorporated your work into v5.2.1.08 of this module. Thanks again ~ Joe Curia.

This mod doesnt' work for me either. I get this when I try to make a change:

You are accessing the admin after a security timeout.

The requested URL was:

xxxxxx

Please make sure that you really want to access this URL and weren't tricked to go to the admin.
Please click on continue to go to this URL or on cancel to go to the forum homepage.

THis is very late here...

But I downloaded phorum 5.2.11 today.
I downloaded the module at the top of the forum.
I have it installed and the settings page shows with I go to access the module.

But some of the functions cause the timeout error:
"You are accessing the admin after a security timeout."

I have added the [code="php"]

[/code]
to all the form blocks in the settings page.
Still the error persists.

Also, in another case, I am getting You don't have permission to access /phorum/mods/easy_colorscheme/export_file.php when there is no reason this error should exist. It has correct user/group and chmod values. Changing any of them does not correct this error.

Any help?

thanks
Kevin

Sorry for the delay in responding, I haven't had time to revisit this until now.
I tried wiping the settings and redoing everything and it now works. I'm still not sure what the problem was. but many thanks for the help.

Hmm, looking at your site, the images should be available to the mod. Try this from the README:

A note for those of you upgrading.  As a last case resort, You may find it easier to 
simply start your color schemes over from scratch if you run into problems.  To do so,
please open the settings for this module then paste the following into your web browsers 
address bar after the page information that is there:
&erase_easy_colorscheme=VERITABLY
The address should look something like:
http://www.yourweb.com/admin.php?module=modsettings&mod=easy_colorscheme&erase_easy_colorscheme=VERITABLY
Now hit ENTER and this will erase all of your color scheme settings.  Please note
this is irreversible so only do this if you have the need.  You can then rebuild
your color schemes and they should work just fine.

I would suggest erasing the images from the mods tmp_images folder as well.

If completely resetting the data doesn't do it, then the only other issue can be that the mod is unable to use the imagecreatefrompng function.

I copied the whole folder, then renamed the info file. The ECS module seems to recognise it OK and can update its colours.
I've tried wiping the cache too, but the error about default images is still shown.

Do you still have the emerald template installed in the emerald folder, or did you rename the folder?

Re: Module: Easy Color Scheme Manager

sheik — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 13:32:50 -0500

Thanks for the speedy response!

I have GD enabled on my server, and in fact, your module has created my graphic here:

However, the graphic doesn't show in my phorum, although the colour changes do.

It comes up if you do not have those images available in your template

How can I check this please? I am running an ever-so-slightly modified Emerald template - no files have been deleted.

Many thanks,

Joe Curia — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 13:27:03 -0500

That error is given if the module is unable to create the necessary images (the gradient bars and the gradient message background). It comes up if you do not have those images available in your template or if you do not have the necessary GD support enabled for PHP. The color schemes you create will work, but you will have to add your own gradient images (or remove them and use solid colors set in the module).

Sorry, but what does "You will not be able to create background images properly as there were no default images from which to establish dimensions" mean? What do I do to resolve this please?
I've searched for this error but couldn't find any more info.

Apart from this minor hiccup, the module seems very useful, thank you!

These questions are best asked in the thread for the individual mod, so don't be suprised if this gets merged onto my ECM mod thread.

Anyways, these variables are used througout the template files. To find a specific variable, you could do a search for it within the .tpl files in your template folder. It may be just as easy to see the changes as you suggested.

Due to the nature of the variables being used in multiple places throughout the template files, I don't know that there will ever be an exact listing of where each variable occurs.

When you open Easy Color Scheme Manager, there are grids that show all of the backgrounds, borders, etc., and they are listed by their name, and what color they are before any editing. Is there anything to show where these names are on the template when you view it. Default_Font_Color is an easy one to find, but where or what is a Post_Moderation_Background_Color, or a Breadcrum_Border_Color? Is my only option to just change something and then look to see what was changed?

I don't know...but it doesn't really matter anyway. I changed my theme color to green to match phorum. Thanks!

Re: Module: Easy Color Scheme Manager

Joe Curia — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 18:31:30 -0500

Sorry, posted this in the wrong thread earlier:

I see that you have Phorum embedded within your own site. It may be that this is causing a problem for the mod as the overall body of the page may be set in your site's framework. Does it work if the forum is viewed outside of your site's framework?

Re: Module: Easy Color Scheme Manager

SecretNinjaMan Maker — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 15:01:13 -0500

Help please?

Re: Module: Easy Color Scheme Manager

SecretNinjaMan Maker — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 19:20:30 -0500

No, it still doesn't work. This time I used the "Tabbed_Emerald_Template_5.2.1.00_Default_Colors" color scheme and overwrote the data and I set the bg color to #CCCCCC but the background color is still default: #FFFFFF

What am I doing wrong?

Re: Module: Easy Color Scheme Manager

Joe Curia — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 16:27:34 -0500

When you changed the settings, did you save them as a new color scheme? Did you then apply that color scheme to all forums?

If so, another thing to try is to go to the "Cache Settings" on the left and disable the caching stylesheet data. Please let me know if this fixes the problem as I thought I had the caching issue fixed.

Re: Module: Easy Color Scheme Manager

SecretNinjaMan Maker — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 15:50:39 -0500

Ok NOW it doesn't mess up the forum but when I try to change the settings they do not change on the forum. I don't know why but could you please help me some more? Thanks!

Re: Module: Easy Color Scheme Manager

Joe Curia — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 14:32:58 -0500

My guess is that you are not using PHP 5. I am going to just give in and assume that no one has upgraded to PHP 5. Please redownload the mod and it should work for you now.

Re: Module: Easy Color Scheme Manager

SecretNinjaMan Maker — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 13:04:50 -0500

Excuse me, but I believe that there is a problem with this module. I just downloaded it and when I tried to change the settings, there is an error message, shown below:

Quote

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{' in (my directory here, which I am not going to reveal)/forum/mods/easy_colorscheme/settings.php on line 1344

It would help a LOT if you could fix this problem. Or maybe I am downloading it wrong? I put it in the mod folder just like all the other mods I downloaded. Please help! Thanks in advance!

Module: Easy Color Scheme Manager v5.2.1.07 - bug fixes

Joe Curia — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 10:03:09 -0500

I have finished v5.2.1.07 with these changes:

- Fixed a bug which required disabling template caching.

- Fixed a bug which would possibly cause the settings page to not load the first time this module was setup.

- Fixed a bug which caused an error when trying to export color settings to a file.

- Removed further PHP warnings.

- Confirmed compatibility with Phorum 5.2.8.
