Here is the edit to list by a category

in the variables add the line

$category = x; //where x is the category id number found in your AdminCP

in line 35, find:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

and AFTER add:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

then in line 38 find

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

and REPLACE with:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

This should result in only comments from the category selected being displayed. Please let me know how you get on.

Thank you for your hard work! With the default solution (all categories) it works very fine.

But if I try with the changes for a specific category:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare shorten_string() in /home/xxx/public_html/forum/modules/blog_comments.php on line 18

I've changed the code in the above post. I had a stray , and category should have been categories. Tested and working 100%. Om the additional variable, don't forget the ;

Sorry doesn't work for me. I have tried for 1½ hour now:

Now I get this error:

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'nobody'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in [path]/modules/blog_comments_cars.php on line 31
I cannot connect to the database

I am 100% sure the password is correct - as I use it with success with e.g. your default version. This is the code I use with your changes:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)

I'll PM you the code/file with the parts inserted. Make sure you use notepad, not word or wordpad for editing as it looks like you have returns and extra spaces all over, that or there is a wordwrap issue or something.

The only other notes I can see that are worth mentioning is that the website url should stop as follows

$website = "http://xxx.com/forum";

and is your database table prefix really forum?
$prefix = forum;

[BWJ]

Thank you very much for your superb support!

First of all the code you sent me works!

One interesting note is that the initial error message I received after implementing your original specific category code (before the code from you pm) was:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare shorten_string() in /home/xxx/public_html/forum/modules/blog_comments.php on line 17

Then I think I messed with things too much (as you said it works 100%) Then I suddenly got the new error message I wrote about:

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'nobody'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in [path]/modules/blog_comments_cars.php on line 31
I cannot connect to the database

Probably due to the messing around.
Okay, then I used the code you sent me by pm and then I receive the same error as initially:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare shorten_string() in /home/xxx/public_html/forum/modules/blog_comments.php on line 17

Then I found out I had two instances of your mod on the same cmps page - one with blog_comments.php and one new file for the specific category blog_comments_cars.php

Then I removed the "get all blog comments" file: blog_comments.php

And then it worked!

Thank you again! I am sure other people will find this mod interesting.

PS: yes it is forum :-)

Excellent, glad you are all sorted.

PS if anyone has vbseo, then it makes adding the avatars easy

[goxy63]

How to disable shown images in this module !?
And pls few words about user avatars infront of comment

Thanks

[optrex]

To remove images you would need to change

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

to

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

I've not tested this but basically the first 0 turns off html and the last 0 turns off image code. Please try it and feedback.

VBSEO for avatars:

My avatars are in the format url/avatars/username.gif?datelinestamp
I can use this method, due to the fact that usernames are unique.

The code I use on the hack is

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

place is where you want the avatar to show

[goxy63]

Just changed code regarding to images, works like charm


But I think with avatars I dont have much luck, its on my side for shure as Iam noobish to all this

I have installed VBSEO for my forums, free version...I guess I should install addon for CMPS in order that this avatr thing work out for me

Thank you very much for this mod

[optrex]

AFAIK there is not a free version for VBSEO, unless you are on about the sitemaps generator, which is not the same thing.

[goxy63]

Yes my mistake .... was thinking about sitemap generator

Thanks again for great mod

[joerns]

I've followed the installation instructions but get a blank page at the moment. I've checked my variables, and they seem to correspond with those in the config.php file. Any ideas?
