Members would love to receive a notification when someone posts a reply to their blog (weblog). Would that take a lot of coding?

Oh my! I didn't know there would be a test! (lol)

I have it named "Snitz Weblog by Oxle v2." In the instruction file it's titled "MarcelG’s Weblogs."

This uses the standard files for posting. All the members need to do is to subscribe to the weblog topic.

Well, I am red-faced over this! Silly me forgot to turn the subscriptions on for the blogs!

Oh my!

Thank you so much, Carefree!

Hmmm, that option is only displaying after someone does a reply. The "Reply to Topic" option, where the "Subscribe to Topic" option is normally displayed near, isn't displaying until after someone does a reply. Only the "Post a Reply" (like the "Quick Reply" is displayed if/when that option for posts is turned on) is displaying at the bottom of a blog until after someone does a reply.

Any ideas?

Is the behavior the same for all forums or just for this one?

It's just with the blogs, Carefree.

And like I said, after a reply to a blog has been made the "Subscribe to Topic" option appears. Prior to the reply, the only option is to type something and the "Post" and "Preview" buttons are displayed.

Here's a screen shot of what is displayed just below a blog. The only option at the top of a blog is to start a new blog.

I haven't installed this, but it looks like the issue.

"log.asp"


Look for the following lines (appx 259-264):

	IF T_STATUS <> 0 then
			IF T_REPLIES > 0 and Request.QueryString("log_id") = "" then
			Response.Write "  <hr color=""" & strTableBorderColor & """ size=""1""></font><center><a href=""log.asp?log_id=" & TOPIC_ID & """>" & "<font color=""" & strDefaultFontColor & """ face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strFooterFontSize & """>" & strSMMReadRepliesText & "</a>   |   <a href=""post.asp?method=Reply&topic_id=" & TOPIC_ID & "&FORUM_ID=" & strWeblogsForum & """>" & "<font color=""" & strDefaultFontColor & """ face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strFooterFontSize & """>" & strSMMReplyText & "</a>" & vbNewLine
			else
			Response.Write "  <hr color=""" & strTableBorderColor & """ size=""1""></font><center><a href=""post.asp?method=Reply&topic_id=" & TOPIC_ID & "&FORUM_ID=" & strWeblogsForum & """>" & "<font color=""" & strDefaultFontColor & """ face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strFooterFontSize & """>" & strSMMReplyText & "</a>" & vbNewLine
			end if
		ELSE

Change them to say:

	IF T_STATUS <> 0 then
		IF Request.QueryString("log_id") = "" then
			Response.Write "  <hr color=""" & strTableBorderColor & """ size=""1""></font><center><a href=""log.asp?log_id=" & TOPIC_ID & """>" & "<font color=""" & strDefaultFontColor & """ face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strFooterFontSize & """>" & strSMMReadRepliesText & "</a>   |   <a href=""post.asp?method=Reply&topic_id=" & TOPIC_ID & "&FORUM_ID=" & strWeblogsForum & """>" & "<font color=""" & strDefaultFontColor & """ face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strFooterFontSize & """>" & strSMMReplyText & "</a>" & vbNewLine
		else
			Response.Write "  <hr color=""" & strTableBorderColor & """ size=""1""></font><center><a href=""post.asp?method=Reply&topic_id=" & TOPIC_ID & "&FORUM_ID=" & strWeblogsForum & """>" & "<font color=""" & strDefaultFontColor & """ face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strFooterFontSize & """>" & strSMMReplyText & "</a>" & vbNewLine
		end if
	ELSE

Arrrgh!! My entire domain is down right now!

I hope someone asks me about this hosting company before they make the same mistake I did by using them!

I Soooo wish I was already moved and ready to open the new site!!

I'll have to come back to this, Carefree. I'll let you know when I get to it.

THANK YOU!

Carefree, I probably should have shown you a screen shot of the way it's supposed to be displayed even before a reply is made. I'll do that now.


This first image has an arrow pointing to the changes made my your coding in your reply. You can compare it to the image in my previous post if you need to.






This second image shows the way it's displayed after a reply has been made but like I said, it's supposed to be displayed like this even before a reply is made to a blog. It used to display like this just below a blog but perhaps a mod I did has it messed up in some way. That's the only thing I can think of that could have caused it. As you can see, I had to highlight two of the links since the text was too dark to be seen.

OK

Look for the following lines (appx 725-726):


 	if iReplyCount = "" then  '---------- No replies found in DB
		' Nothing


After them, insert this:

		Response.Write	"                   <tr>" & vbNewLine & _
			"                 <td colspan=""" & intCol & """ align=""center"" bgcolor=""" & strCategoryCellColor & """ width=""100%"" height=""" & strCategoryCellHeight & """>" & vbNewLine
		Call PostingOptions()
		Response.Write	"         </td>"& vbNewLine &_        			                  
			"               </tr>" & vbNewLine

These are the lines you directed me to and this is how the lines around it look.


Response.Write " </td></tr>" & vbNewLine
' ---------- Forum_SQL
' strSql = "UPDATE " & strActivePrefix & "TOPICS "
' strSql = strSql & " SET T_VIEW_COUNT = (T_VIEW_COUNT + 1) "
' strSql = strSql & " WHERE (TOPIC_ID = " & Topic_ID & ")"
' my_conn.Execute (strSql),,adCmdText + adExecuteNoRecords
If iReplyCount = "" Then ' ---------- No replies found in DB
' Nothing
Call PostingOptions()
Else
intI = 0
rM_NAME = 0


But nothing changed after I added your line, Carefree.

Should I have removed what I added earlier?

Try the above. Yes, you can remove the earlier change.

It may be a bit later when I do this, Carefree, but I will let you know when I do.

Thank you so much!
