The Shoutbox problems are fixed! Still puzzled by the Gallery Block issue though.

Hi Thanks for the link to the blocks thread. I've tried creating blocks for Recent Images from the Gallery and also for the Shoutbox. Any idea why I'm not getting any thumbnails or images in the gallery block? Also, any idea why the system thinks that the shoutbox database table is "brummie_php...

Hi

Just a thought. As the Gallery is part of the forum distro from here, can we also have a pre-installed Gallery Block (there is a MOD for just this purpose) for the Portal page in the next release please??

Thanks

Martin

I'd love to find out where to find some that work! All the RSS MODS that I seem to find are those that create a feed from the forum for the benefit of the outside world. What I want is for 3 blocks on the Portal to display other people's RSS feeds, in a nice scrolling manner - one horizontally in th...

I'm going to give the situation the benefit of a night's sleep and a fresh pair of eyes in the morning. The lag isn't anything specific to the portal as such. The web host is having a bad hair day. The FTP and mail service is even slower! Thanks about the YouTube Block comment. It's a breeze to do. ...

I'm having problems with blocks. I've added two MODs into my test site - www.brummiesfans.com/test - 1. Gallery Block MOD 1.22 2. LastRSS Aggregator 2 Both of these are supposed to show blocks in the portal, and maybe the RSS MOD shows elsewhere too. HOWEVER, despite configuring them in ACP to show,...

I've got my BBCode for the image alignment sorted out now. It needed the BBCode to look for the "float" style to enable the script to wrap around the image, so all is now well. There's a border around the image at the moment which I don't want there, but I assume that this is a CSS issue, ...

Actually what I am doing is a bit more boring than that. My old phpBB2 site had a MOD that gave the site "Custom Profile Fields" which weren't standard in the old system. (and of course the non-standard won't feature in the automated conversion, so, it's back to a manual solution) I've now...

Just something that has emerged from the migration project that I'm currently undertaking. The Birthdays database seems to have imported all the days into the month table, and the months in the days table, or something to this effect. For someone whose birthday is on 5th December, then the phpBB3 pr...

Hi

That was the fix that was needed. It all works fine now.

Thanks again

Martin

p.s. (now to MANUALY! amend about 250 users worth of Custom Profile Fields that didn't migrate over from my old board in the conversion... )

Hi I just tried changing some profile info, in a field that formed part of the built-in Custom Profile Fields section. Sadly I got this error: SQL ERROR [ mysql4 ] Unknown column 'user_gender' in 'field list' [1054] SQL UPDATE phpbb_users SET user_icq = '', user_aim = '', user_msnm = '', user_yim = ...

Yeah, that's the one...the HTML option not being there is a big drawback.

I'm still struggling with getting enough BBCode alignment options to work correctly to replace the HTML that the old phpbb2 board welcome message had.

I wasn't encountering the errors when running queries as such. They occurred when clicking on the "Board Index" link, either in the main menu or in the link in the top right of the ACP. It came down to 3 or 4 tables that the Index.php checks for, not being in the database, which I'd have t...

brummie_phpbb is the name of the database phpbb_chat should have been a table in that database BUT it wasn't there. Surely it should have been? I've done a MyPHP "transplant" from my test site (which doesn't contain any non-transferable data anyway) of the Chat and Chat Sessions tables. Th...

Thanks, I'd overlooked that second zip file. OK, I can now get into the Portal, and from there I can get into ACP. HOWEVER clicking the Board Index link at the top of the ACP page gives me a page with the following error message: General Error SQL ERROR [ mysql4 ] Table 'brummie_phpbb.phpbb_chat' do...
