Re: Module: Forum Subscriptions - 11 years ago

The Forum Subscriptions module is working better now that I've moved my Phorum to another server, but I've realised that notifications don't get through to Gmail users.The same is true for virginmedia and ntlworld addresses, which run on the Google Apps mail platform. I've done the usual checking of Google's Spam/Promotions/All Mail folders – the messages really aren'

Re: Module: Forum Subscriptions - 11 years ago

I've been having problems with this module for a little while now and can't work out what's going on. My forum is seeing the same 'illegal string offset' errors mentioned by yupri in this post. I changed line 483 of db_functions.php to return DB_RETURN_ASSOCS instead of DB_RETURN_ASSOC. This got rid of the errors but the module still wouldn't send out emails (this

Attachment download issues - 11 years ago

I have a problem with attachment downloads on two of the three phorums I run. Attachments seem to be uploaded successfully, and look to be downloaded correctly right until the end of the download when the connection drops or the file is otherwise save incompletely. A summary of the phorums I run: Forum 1 – working – Phorum 5.2.18 Forum 2 – problem – Phorum 5.2.19 Forum 3 – problem – Phorum

Re: Signature in profile.php - 13 years ago

In my Phorum, I've had to turn off the displaying of email addresses on the profile page, because the feature was causing an issue with messages sent from the Phorum to my mailing lists. But I still want logged-in users to be able to see each other's email addresses. Given that almost every one of my users have created a sensible signature, it seemed that a good way to display email add

Re: Signature in profile.php - 13 years ago

I think you've misunderstood my question. There is no problem in creating a signature. The problem is that I don't know how to get that signature to display on the user profile page (the one that tells you a person's name, number of posts, email address, rank, etc.).

Quoted-printable for outgoing messages - 13 years ago

One of my expert users posted a query on my forum and I said I'd raise it here. Please tell me if I'm missing an obvious admin setting for the following request (the key query is in bold).

Re: Using Unicode symbols in posts - 13 years ago

QuoteThomas Seifert Is that character saved into the database? Is your database connection set to utf-8 and the language too? The character doesn't seem to be saved. In fact the more pressing issue is that the remainder of the post after the troublesome character is also lost. I wrote more in my OP above than what is shown, but it was lost after submission, even though the entire post ren

Email notifications when users request to join a group - 13 years ago

I think this may have been asked before but if it was I'm now unable to locate the thread, so sorry if that's the case. Is it possible to generate a notication email to go out to the relevant moderator when a user requests to join a group that requires moderator approval?

Using Unicode symbols in posts - 13 years ago

Does anyone know why some symbols that are part of the Unicode set can't be rendered after a post has been submitted? Here's an example. One of my users was making a post about a mathematical formula and in it he used the 'mathematical italic small a' symbol. He pasted in the character, which looked fine in preview but then disappeared from the post when it was published.

Re: Importing messages to a moved topic - 13 years ago

Thanks, Thomas. I've been able to sort things out by manually changing the forum ID on the post in question, via phpMyAdmin. I'm sure I already know the answer, but there's no way of automating this, is there?

Re: Importing messages to a moved topic - 13 years ago

Emails sent in response to the original post (now moved) don't appear in the forum. The Phorum import process goes ahead as normal (the mailbox that External Phorummail has access to is being cleared out, as usual) but the messages themselves don't appear, because somewhere along the line the system must be getting confused by the original topic having been moved. I can see that,

Importing messages to a moved topic - 13 years ago

I use External Phorummail to import and display messages in my forums. I've found that imported messages aren't displayed if the original topic is moved to a different forum. Is there any automatic way of making sure that imported messages appear correctly, even in moved topics?

Re: Module: Post Previews - 13 years ago

Hi, guys. Thanks for another useful module. I'd like someone to clarify whether the following is just me being dumb or simply the intended behaviour: Preview a post and use Ctrl+Shift+right-click to mark the thread as read. Return to the message list later, when there's been a new post in the thread previously marked as read. Preview panel no longer displays the shortcut box. Ctrl+S

Mark topic as read from list page - 13 years ago

Is there a way from the list page to mark a topic as read without opening the topic? Marking the forum as read is fine, but sometimes one wants to mark only certain topics as read – and doing that from the list page would be quicker than clicking in and out of each topic. It would be even better if this could be achieved through some Ajax call that means the list page doesn't need to refr

Or do I need to give up using one of the modules?

Display user's real name in Unapproved users panel - 13 years ago

Is there a way for a user's real name to be displayed in the Unapproved users panel when their registration is pending moderator approval? At the moment, all that's displayed is the username and email address. I'm capturing the real name at registration by using {USERS->PROFILE->real_name} and this data is then visible when looking at the pending user account via the admin

Quoting and how it looks in mailing list messages - 13 years ago

Hi, all. I'd like to hear your wisdom on how quoted parts of a message are best handled when that message is pushed out to a mailing list. I use the quoting hook (mentioned in this thread) so that I can display pretty quotes, but the results don't look good when forum messages go out to my Mailman mailing lists. Only the text content of the quote is retained and so any attribution

Re: Module: External Phorummail - 14 years ago

Thanks, Thomas. I've found out that these symbols don't seem to be preserved in plain-text messages, and that's obviously why they're not being imported correctly. Switching the HTML just for this is probably a bridge too far. Is there any way that External Phorummail could alter the incoming data if I wanted it to? For example, could it strip a common prefix in the subject

Re: Module: External Phorummail - 14 years ago

Is there any way to ensure that en dashes (–) and em dashes (—) are imported correctly by External Phorumail?

The content of the email that arrives back from the mailing list contains the correct dashes – it&
