Pan Widgets: Сайдбар и виджеты для форума PunBB (Page 1 of 4)

Обновлен виджет Чат-Онлайн.
Добавлена защита от спамеров. Есть пожелания, пишите в этой теме. Скачать можно из первого поста.

Мы жаждем идей!

pervik, заархивируй установленное расширение и скинь ссылку на архив. Можно в личку, потом гляну.

Такой вопрос.. А как чат чистить?

Внимание! Обновлено расширение и вся его структура. После некоторого времени тестирования расширение было переписано для новой установки.
Поэтому, для того чтобы установить это расширение, удалите старое. Если вы не желаете потерять ценные настройки или структуру кода, то можно сделать так:

Открыть страницу настроек виджета в новой вкладке
В другой вкладке удалить расширение старое
Установить Новое
Затем, скопировать код для каждого виджета соответственно.

Добавлена возможность создавать неограниченное количество текстовых виджетов.
Появилась возможность добавлять виджеты в футер. Менять позиции.
Устранены некоторые ошибки.
Позже появятся дополнительные виджеты, в том числе и чат.

ЕСЛИ ЕСТЬ ИДЕИ - ПИШИТЕ. Будем рады для вас создать что нибудь интересное 

о, это был бы интересный виджет. думаю что многие бы заценили. можно и случайные новости, анекдоты или рекламу показывать. и опционально, по порядку или рандомно

Certainly, but I am no coder ... I do what I can with my tiny abilities.

Sorry not to have answered sooner. I installed the extension and the widget.
But I have some error messages and have difficulties to understand what I must do because of the russian language.

Hello ! In fact, I am not able to use any extension with hardcoded text, I mean extensions without lang files. I could translate lang files to make extensions usable in other languages, but I do not wish to fork the files. Sorry for the inconvenience, I will now avoid commenting on extensions that are not ready for multilingualism. It's a waste of time for everyone, since I'm not able to test.

I do not "require"     the extensions to be written in English. I could translate lang strings from Russian text, provided it is not hard coded. I could even provide the English strings as well as the French ones. It reminds me that I had proposed to make available all the translations to French that I have made for PunBB extensions. I will do that today, if it is of interest to anybody.

вот еще один виджет, он позволяет читать RSS и отображает в блоке несколько заголовков и дату.

This content is available only to registered users.

К примеру для PunBB RSS:

Updated!!!

Thanks very very very much : it is far easier to configure in my language.
Here is my French lang file.

This content is available only to registered users.

I installed perfectly one widget (Last posts) in the side bar.
But I had some problems with Dynamic Entries in the footer. Maybe I did not understand how to enter the different entries...

On admin side, error message on top says :

On public page, in the footer, error is :

That is what I did

Merci !!! Thank you.

Far better, but  still a mini-bug for Dynamic_Entries :
In admin, twice the same error message :

Sorry ! my fault
I do not know why, but my English file stopped after //Widgets others. I updated it and now I am translating the last lines in the French file too.. That should do the job. I will keep you informed

Edit : everything is perfect now, thanks. Here is the new French file.

хм..
--------
придется добавить в расширение еще пару колонок для хранения данных и сериализации их. Либо для виджета создавать отдельную таблицу. Хранить данные в файлах вообще не вижу смысла.
попробуем что нибудь собрать...

это муторно и неудобно как сериализовать так и управлять данными, лучше данные хранить в таблицах

Hello ! I am testing the widget LastPost. Thanks for this feature. May I make some remarks ?

1/ The link heads to the very last message in the topic. If there are several new messages in a single topic, it will display only the last one : only one message per topic. It is not very interesting, since it will display also very old messages if the last messages have been posted in the same topic. I would like to display one link for each message instead of one link per topic.

2/ I like the idea of displaying an extract of the post in a tooltip, when one hover the link in the box. But in the widget, the extract is a kind of abstract with words that have been removed by an automatic script. It is absolutely incomprehensible and useless. It might have been a good idea to display an abstract instead of the full text, but please, do not let a machine do it in place of a human being. If an automatic shortened version of the post is necessary for the tooltip, display the first x characters.

3/ Is there a way to display the widget lot in the header too, just as the footer but before the forum table ?

http://revest.legtux.org/

Hello again !

The code for the tooltip stands in last_post.php from line 37.

The function that makes the tooltip unreadable is split_words.
How the code can be modified so that the tootip text is not modified by split_words ?

The code is :

   $last_post_title = implode(' ',array_map('forum_trim', split_words($cur_topic['message'])));
      $last_post_title = substr($last_post_title,0,700);
      
      echo '<li><span style="font-size:smaller;">'.date('d/m', $cur_topic['last_post']).': </span><a href="'.forum_link($forum_url['post'], $cur_topic['last_post_id']).'" title="'.$last_post_title.'">'.$cur_topic['subject'].'</a></li>';

Thanks for advice.

I mean in place of the Announcement or above it. Selecting on which page (index page only, for instance) would be great.

Here is a photo montage of what I would like.

.

Hello, I tried to install the new version, but I got an error message and the site could not be displayed. So I put pack previous version and everything is back to normal.

Error message said :

Thanks a lot for the new release.

I uninstalled previous release, translated completely the new strings to French, and reinstalled release 0.9.
I created 2 widgets : Hottopic and Recenttopics and settled them to the header.
Then in the widgets tab for header, I activated both widgets, selecting a number of items to display and the order of display.

I get 2 error messages in Header settings :

The site displays correctly, but the widgets do not show on public side.

I removed the Announcement display, in case it would be the problem.

What did I miss ?

PunBB 1.4.4
Pan_widgets 0.9
OS Linux
PHP: 5.6.29-0+deb8u1
SQLite3 3.8.7.1

I translated the missing strings to French and English. There is no more error messages. But the widget is not displayed.

I deleted the previous release of pan_widget. And installed the 0.9 anew.
I emptied the cache, and tried to view the site in 2 other browsers.
Did you test it with sqlite ?

My forums use Sqlite3.
Today, I will test on several PunBB, with different hosting providers and will give feedback.

I had not understood that I had to choose an option in the scrolling menu. The title of the scrolling menu is : Show groups was not explicit to me and my widgets were set to Disabled. Maybe the menu title should be more detailed such as : you must select a group.

My comments now.
The style has been greatly improved, thanks. I like the way that boxes have the same height, even if the content is smaller in one of them. I must search how I can make is responsive, so that the boxes can be aligned in column instead of row with smaller screens.

The tooltip with the content disappeared completely. It is true it was quite improper in previous release, but I miss it ... I would like it with the begiining of the post, say 100 or 200 characters ...

For LastPost, the link in the widget is to the top of the topic, the first entry. I still would prefer to display the link to the very last post, I mean : http://revest.legtux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=60#p60 instead of  : http://revest.legtux.org/viewtopic.php?id=17, just as it is in the mail. And the title in the least should be the one entered in th answer, and if it was not specified, the title of the post followed by the number od the answer.

I will go on testing and keep you informed.

I meet an issue trying to answer : I did it twice, with the same problem here on this forum.
I click on "answer", I write the answer and instead of a new post, my new answer is displayed as a modification of my previous post. The title that I had chosen disappears. I wanted to tell that the 0.91 release works correctly on my site.

Is this a new way of spam fighting, I mean putting together several answers from the same internaut ? It is strange, really. I do not like my messages to be merged.
