[BETA] Bookmarks

[irbrian]

I know I mentioned it my 'bug report' (lol) but I just wanted to comment here that this really is a great mod, its one of the most useful i've found yet in fact. Now I can keep track of topics with a single click. Really hope it'll be officially implemented down the road.

Just wish I knew why I got that weird problem with the onchange function. Oh well.

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback.  I've been trying to come up with some mods unique from other BBs, and I was rather proud of this one

I think it's great, too, and also hope it will eventually become part of the core YaBB SE installation. But I have noticed tonight (in bookmarking one of my own topics with an insufferably long subject line) that the drop down box appears to go on expanding sideways to fit whatever you put in it. Perhaps a maximum number of characters might be a good idea?

Nah, forget that last remark! Just tried a *really* long subject line in the test forum with a view to trying to bookmark it and realised there's already a cap on the number of characters allowed on the board!

the checkbox doesn't work in modsettings if i check it and then go back its back unchecked

Solution add the following row to yabbse_settings
showBookmarks       1

now the check box works, but i still don't see the bookmars future on my boards

Could you help me?  I don't understand what I need to do to get the check to stay.

Yes please!  I love that bookmark feature and would like to incorporate it into my own boards.

SQL:
INSERT INTO dbname.dbprefix_settings (variable, value) VALUES ('showBookmarks', 1);

[update: forgot quotes around showBookmarks]

[Mr.Sins]

you need to manualy edit your mysql yabbse database.

then you need to open the following tabel yabbse_settings

and add the following row to your table
in the first colum you write showBookmarks
in the second column you write 1

if you run your own mysql server you can edit it with mysql control center or someother mysql db tool

Thanks, I'll give it a go!  

[MarcoMan]

Would it look something like this?

$dbcon = mysql_connect($db_server, $db_user, $db_passwd);
mysql_select_db($db_name);

$sql = INSERT INTO {$db_prefix}settings (variable,value) VALUES ('showBookmarks',1);

Because this is the error I receive when making a php file.  This error is on the underlined line of code.

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING

[Mr.Sins]

maybe this error is caused since you don't have the showBookmark setting in your yabbse_settings table

You have a small bug.  Do this.

Code Select Expand

include("Settings.php");
$dbcon = mysql_connect($db_server, $db_user, $db_passwd);
mysql_select_db($db_name);

$sql = "INSERT INTO {$db_prefix}settings (variable,value) VALUES ('showBookmarks',1);";

$request = mysql_query ($sql) or die (mysql_error());

You need to include Settings.php so the variables $db_something are populated, and you need to actually execute the query, not just make the query string.

Joseph,

That did the job for me.  Thanks everyone for all your help.
