rick,
just send me your files and I'll edit them for you.
Would you be able to help me out with my setup on this? The message icons seem to work fine execept for when users "reply" to a topic. When they do, the messageicon doesn't show up (I get a blank box with red X in it). I checked the path and all looked fine, the image was there.
Take a look at my site:
http://www.steel-breeze.com/forum/forum.asp?FORUM_ID=2&CAT_ID=2&Forum_Title=General+SB+Forum
You'll see that the person who started the topic gets his icon to show fine. Only the people who reply are having problems.
Can you advise?
Thanks,
Lothar

Lothar,
If you e-mail me your post_info.asp file I'll fix it for you.
You probably just inserted the code in the wrong spot. (see a few posts up for the solution for someone who had the same problem.) |

Hi Richard,
As usual, I'm wondering if this will work in sr2...
Is the "origianl version that was in the original post, sr2? If so, are they otherwise the same? Or is the functionality different and one has also been updated?...
Thanks!
Rob

Rob,
The only difference in the 2 versions is the line #'s that I reference in the instructions to install it. There is nothing in this MOD that is version specific. |

Very cool Richard. Fixed me right up too. I'm confused though. In the message_icon.txt it's written
strSql = strSql & ", T_MSGICON"
strSql = strSql & ", T_MAIL"
Is this a mistype or does it work that way for some people?
Also, as the mod is written it doesn't allow you to change the icon when you edit a post. Is this hard to enable?
Ideally it would come up in edit mode with the previously selected icon already selected. I'm not sure if that make sense. What do you think?
Thanks,
Mario

Mario, I'm guessing you are referring to the line #'s
The line #'s in the post above were from the file liliput sent to me.
The line #'s in your file might be different.
Go by the code that I show in the instructions if the line #'s don't match up.
I understand what you are saying about editing the Icon when editing a message.
I just didn't think it was something that was needed. But it could be added.
If you want, you can send me your post.asp and post_info.asp and I'll add it for you. |

I knew the line numbers were different and like I said your fix recommendation worked perfectly. What I meant was that the installation instructions in the message_icon.txt file tells us to put those two lines in the opposite order from your recommendations. No big, just thought you'd like to know.
BTW, I've e-mailed those two files to you.
Thanks man,
Mario

I got the files and will work on them tonight and then send them back to you.
I hadn't realized that the instructions were wrong.
I have updated the .zip files with the latest instructions and verfied that all referenced line #'s match for a standard (unmodified) copy of Snitz Forums 2000 v3.1 SR4. |

Richard,
I just went to the demo site, looks cool, I tried to register so I could leave a message, but it gave me an error. Anyway, I'm going to implement it later tonight on my site.
I also loved your color scheme on the demo site, is it possible you can send me the color settings for the site.

Got the files back Richard. Everything worked perfectly. Thanks! Is this change you made now part of the message icon distribution zip? Perhaps it could be an addendum to the mod?
Thanks again!
Mario

Derek,
Here is the colors that I use:
Mario,
No, I haven't added those changes to the .zip file. I try to make the instructions and the modifications to the code as small and simple as possible. As far as I know, you are the first one to request the ability to edit the Message Icons.

Richard,
I tried to add your message icons mod, but as I ran mod_dbsetup.asp I got a syntax error in the last database modification. I have read through the readme and cannot find any solution.
What am I doing wrong? I have not modified any Snitz code for your mod yet as I wanted to get the DB working first...
Thanks!

are you using a connect string that looks like one of these 2:
'strConnString = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=" & Server.MapPath("/fpdb/snitz_forums_2000.mdb") '## MS Access 97 using virtual path
'strConnString = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=c:\inetpub\dbroot\snitz_forums_2000.mdb" '## MS Access 97
or one that looks like one of these 2:
'strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("/fpdb/snitz_forums_2000.mdb") '## MS Access 2000 using virtual path
'strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=c:\inetpub\dbroot\snitz_forums_2000.mdb;" '## MS Access 2000
if you are using one that looks like the first set, it would be better if you switched to one in the second set.
The problem is with setting a Default value in a field using the Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb), it doesn't seem to support it. |
