Hi Everyone,
First off, kudos to Brent on a great mod.
Also, i'd just like to say way to go to the active snitz community - you guys really know how to support each other, just by reading the posts i can tell you are all interested in the success of the other people ... so "way to go".
Now, for my quesiton...
if you'd like, you can have a look for yourself, http://207.102.153.240/forum/ - that's my forum, as is... now, i'm trying to install the portal. go up a level to http://207.102.153.240/ and you should be directed to the resources.asp template. I do not code VBscript, and haven't looked that much at ASP, but i understand programming language (CFML, anyone?) if you go the the resources.asp template, you will see my dillemna. no images are showing up, and although there are no errors, something just isn't working. Any help y'all can offer would be great.
Thanks very much,
Dave

make sure you open inc_top and before all links add <%=strForumURL%> some may need to be <%=strHomeURL%>
you need to make sure that whichever one of those you need is inserted along with the extra name for the images folder.
example if you have all your images for your forum in Forum/Images then this is what you need to do in inc_top before all image urls
<img src="<%=strForumURL%>Images/icon_blahblah.gif">
Also go in your admin options and in the main forum configuration make sure your Home Url and Forum Url both have a / at the end
Example:
if your home url is
http://207.102.153.240
make sure in the area i specified it is
http://207.102.153.240/
You'll need to add the <%=strForumURL%> to all the links on the top otherwise they'll be 404 errors when you click any of them. :)
Oh yeah you need to do the same in the inc_footer and in_footershort or the links and images there won't work either

in validate.asp , I got this error,
N E W ! Example Link Link Status: Working Rate This Resource!Report Bad Link! Category: Top Level LinkAuthor: admin This link is a demo to give you and idea of what this script can do. Submitted By: Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01a8' Object required: 'my_Conn' /forum/inc_functions.asp, line 656
I am not able to reproduce this error. Can you set-up a URL for me to check this out?
Note:
I have updated the zip with a new NewLinks.inc file either download the updated zip or edit the file as follows:
find line 55 (around there), there should be rsLinks.Close and set rsLinks = Nothing around there... Select those two lines and move them above the End If line right above.
If I missed your questions please post them in the Help: Mod Implementation Forum!

Also a minor problem in addlink.asp
all category tables are black, while the fonts are black as well
easily fixed I'm sure, but thought you'd like to know

Warchild,
I visited your site but could not find any links to test, they are listed in the categories but are not displaying, which means they have not been validated.
To fix your problem with the colors you should run the setup.asp file included in the zip, this will set all the colors outside of the forum directory. For some reason Snitz colors do not always display properly outside of the forum. You can always try re-downloading the zip, I just updated it with a new NewLinks.inc file...
Contact me if you have more problems in the Help: Mods forum please.
Sincerely,

This error has already been fixed. Please make sure you are using the latest files. Re-Download the zip!
blackinwhite,
I have found the source of the problem. It is indeed in my code. Open up validate.asp in a text editor and replace every instance of objConn with my_Conn (find/replace) if you cannot do this (it's very easy, only like 4 instances of this) then simply re-download the zip!
Hope this helps!
Note:
Just updated the zip (at the edited by time shown below) with new validate and showbadlinks.asp pages.
Sincerely,

Here´s a brief idea about how the personalized content could work...
When a user registers, automatically a personal forum is generated that is hidden to him. This forum copies/deletes/overwrites contents from the topics he selects in his profile/on the main page. Then the content management system shows the topics from his forum instead of from the different forums the selected content was chosen from. also this hidden forum with the attachments mods could contain a "My files/documents" forum, where the users uploaded files are available to him...
e.g. userforum>mainnews>selectednewsfromothertopic
....................>TVlisting>selectedTVlistingstopic
....................>personalinterests>selectedinteresttopics
....................>classifiedslist>selectedproducts
Just an idea to get started...I know this would be a major buildup for the database and ACCESS users would soon reach their DB limits, but for MySQL/SQL this should be possible...or maybe there´s a whole different way to do this?
Since categories from webmaster are almost stable and topics change, maybe fields should be added to the userprofile, that tells the CMS which categories>topics the user subscribes too?

When I log as admin and look at Validate new: it shows zero... I will try again, I have already validated them twice
If this doesn't work I will redownload
thanks Brent

I made the changes to the validate.asp as you mentioned. I got the same error. I then downloaded the zip again from http://www.ctsolutions.org/webmaster/snitz/Portal_Mod.zip. I still got the same error. I then then changed the updated validate.asp as you mentioned. I still got the same error. Please let me know if I am getting the most current version and if I am making the correct modifications.
Thx,
mikeniccum

It came to me, that the personalized content system would function almost as the...bookmarks function. So what really needs to be done is a parallel to the bookmarks setup with an configurationpage, where the users choose which categories/forums they want news from. These choices would then be added like the bookmarks to the DB and then the CMS system could read from this 2nd bookmark table (which off course is hidden in the forums)
on the main page, the different bookmarked forums could then be shown e.g. "latest news", "news for kids", "TV programmes" and so forth with subcontent off course being the topics of the 2ndbookmarked topics.

K...beginning to look kool...
A NEW CHALLENGE: Just went to see the "opensource" portal at http://www.adenin.com/WorkgroupPortal.html (they appear to use snitz as part of their backend BTW)
Here when a user is logged on he is able to select/deselect the items available to him.
Could we have that? is it possible to configure user profiles so, that certain categories appear depending on which he has chosen/belongs to the group he is in?
I have looked at the site, downloaded the 45Mb Zip and I must say.. bloody impressive. I am not downing anyone Snitz is superb software, but < he says crouching behind his chair> it is versitile. Basically a drag and drop situation, sorry I have looked at this thing for about an hour now and ... ag anyway there isn't such a cool group of people at there are on the Snitz Forum.. <As he gets up from behind the chair Morpheus' tomato hits him square in the eye, Brent is LHAO and HuwR shakes his head and leaves nemesis in a pool of... well NASA are still trying to work it out>
Snitz is veeeery powerful and customizable thank you all for the input..
Now why do I get this error..?
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01f5'
Illegal assignment: 'NewLinks'
/Resources.asp, line 63
Thank you all..

That's a new one on me. Can you give me a URL to take a look at? Or can you be more specific with the detail of your error? That portion of the Resources.asp page deals with displaying the # of New/Bad links for Admins/Mods only. So, do you have links marked as either of these?
Get back to me and I will help you ASAP.
