[BETA] Archives - Tested

[Joseph Fung]

I tested both the 1.4.1 and 1.5.0 versions of this mod and they appeared to intall fine on my computer.

THIS IS A BETA MOD.

PLEASE don't install this on production sites.  If you do, and there are problems, I will mock you heartlessly

Also, when you archive a topic you can not "un-archive" it.  This is non-reversable.

This mod will create an archiving system.  The archives are stored as php pages
that are non-spiderable (sorry people).  They will still respond to most forum layout and preference settings including modifications to the template.

The archives maintain 3 levels of security - world readable, members only and admins/global mods.

The archives are searchable on the subject of the first topic, and on keywords the archiver can set on archiving.  These key words can be changed at any time.
The security settings can be changed at any time.

Keywords are limited to 255 characters worth of text

Only admins and global moderators can archive topics.

It's easy to install, but there are a number of files you need to upload.  The readme.txt is short, but explains what to do.

Okay, I've one bug:

My archive is in /home/www/web1/html/Archiv .
If I move a thread with only one page, everything went fine. But if I move a page wit multiple pages (2 or more, tested it a few times) then I get this message if I trie to select the now archived thread in the archive:

Code Select Expand

Parse error: parse error in /home/www/web1/html/Archiv/118_0.php on line 13
On line 13 in the archived thread there is always a:

Code Select Expand

      <td><b><?php echo $txt[139]; ?>:</b><?php echo $modSettings['compactTopicPagesEnable'] ? " [<B>1</B>] <a class="navPages" href="<?php echo $cgi; ?>;action=archives;sa=display;sortBy=<?php echo $sortBy; ?>;dir=<?php echo $dir; ?>;topic=118;start=15">2</a> " : " <b>1</b> <a href="<?php echo $cgi; ?>;action=archives;sa=display;sortBy=<?php echo $sortBy; ?>;dir=<?php echo $dir; ?>;topic=118;start=15">2</a> <a href="<?php echo $cgi; ?>;action=archives;sa=display;sortBy=<?php echo $sortBy; ?>;dir=<?php echo $dir; ?>;topic=118;start=15">&#187;</a> "; ?></font></td>
      <td align=right><input type=text size=30 name=searchstring value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($searchstring); ?>"> <input type=button value="<?php echo $txt['archives21']; ?>" onclick="window.location.href='<?php echo $cgi; ?>;action=archives;sa=search;searchstring='+URLEncode(searchstring.value);"></td>
This error appears regardless of the page I cklick on. Here's an example:

http://www.travar.de/koops/priv_eloya/index.php?board=;action=archives

Try to click an ED-CHAT, it will throw up this message

Greetings,

Nico

PS: If this works I'll give you a tablet full of beer - or a other liquid of your choice *gggg*
We've currently about 80.000 Posts waiting for archiving *fg*

[Joseph Fung]

Ahh - stupid mistake on my part.

I fixed the Archives.php  here's the new version. I also updated the zip file attached to the first post for all those people who will download it later

[Eloya]

Could you point out where the error was?

Greetings,

Nico

[Eloya]

Found it with Ultraedit Works fine now - but the search funktion will not work *gggg*

Nico

[Joseph Fung]

where is your urlencode.js file? did you put it in the right place?

[Joseph Fung]

btw, could you send me that german translation so I can package it with the final mod?

[Eloya]

My mistake - I forgot to upload it *smiles*  

Here's the translation into German:

   $menusep = ' | ';

@Eloya

There is a small translation bug at the end.

- Instead of

"deine Sucher ergab kein Ergebnis"

is must be

"deine Suche ergab kein Ergebnis"


- tt['archives5'] wasn't translated

it must be Administratoren; Globale Moderatoren

[Eloya]

DONE

I've corrected it.

[Eloya]

And one more

Under http://www.travar.de/koops/priv_eloya/index.php?board=7;action=archives i've a lot of archived threads. If I click now on page two he directs me to a board in the forum

Greetings,

Nico

[Eloya]

Corrected. You must replace your action=messageindex throughout the entire file with action=archives

Greetings,

Nico

I've a question.
What does happen, if you archive a thread "Testthread". And someone link to the old location of "testthread" before it has been moved to the archive.

Will there be an specific error message like this, if you click on the old link of "testthread"?

"The thread, you have been looking for has been archived. Please search at the archive for it"

Or better: Will you directly linked to the archived topic

[Eloya]

Defintely no. Although this would be a nice feature I think the preferences of this mod should be to move informations out of your DB. People who are looking for an old thread can search the archive. But as an option, for importan threads, this would be fine!

Nico

[Joseph Fung]

Thanks - I updated the zip with the changes to Archive.php as well as the german translations.

Regarding the bookmarking of archived topics, no there won't be any such error message.  It's the same as when you've bookmarked a topic that is moved.

If you are concerned about it, you could change the error message in your langage file to suggest the topic was moved or archived. It's $txt[472]
