Importing into Wedge / Database permissions
« on January 23rd, 2014, 02:29 AM »
So yes the absolute path works fine and I amended the opening post.
If the wedge database user does not have permission to the smf database then the following message is given:
Sorry, the database connection information used in the specified installation of Wedge cannot access the installation of %1. This may either mean that the installation doesn't exist, or that the MySQL account used does not have permissions to access it.
The error MySQL gave was: 'SELECT command denied to user 'wedgeuser'@'localhost' for table 'smf_members'
Obviously the importer works if the SELECT premission is given to the wedge user on the smf database.

Importing into Wedge / Importer tool
« on January 22nd, 2014, 03:38 AM »
https://github.com/Wedge/importer
I have just used it and worked on my SMF 2 installation. However there was a bit of guesswork involved so to help others here's what I had to do.
1. the 'path to smf2' must be the relative address. So if wedge is in a subfolder off of your smf install then you need to input ../ (dot dot slash). For me SMF is in public_html and wedge is another folder off the root, and I access wedge using a subdomain. So I had to put ../public_html - the dot dot slash says "take me to the folder above this one." Absolute address works fine :)
2. The importer asks for the wedge database password but it then gave me an error as it wasn't able to read the SMF database. So the other thing I had to do was to give the wedge database user permission to the SMF database.
The above is not intended for techie people who are probably grinding their teeth at such language!
Anyway it worked well and everything seems to have been imported - even an unread message I received today :)

Archived fixes / Unable to use 'Upload a media file' button from Android S3
« on March 13th, 2013, 10:49 PM »
One of our members is looking at the alpha Wedge and reports that he cannot upload a file using the Media button. He says:
"I'm having problems using android on my galaxyS3 jellybean. Clicking the icon opens another window with buttons to choose file. However when clicking the link the whole button highlights and then does nothing to allow file select."

Archived fixes / Media / Settings / Configuration gives WSOD
« on February 26th, 2013, 04:34 AM »
Originally found this on SMF but it's there if Wedge is installed on the same host. It's down to the exec() function being disabled on that server, and I imagine that other users will come up against the same problem on shared servers.
On SMF the code is in Aeva-Media.php and in Wedge it appears to be in Class-Media.php. For SMF I think I've fixed it by wrapping:
Code: [Select] around blocks of code with the exec function in.
But I'll leave the Wedge code to you, I don't want to classed as hardcore ;)

Bug reports / Profile field values lost when edited
« on February 20th, 2013, 05:59 PM »
This is on SMF and it seems the same on Wedge. We have a Custom Profile Field of field type Select Box, with about 10 values. If one of these values is changed then all its values are removed from the themes table and those members who formerly had this value will now have none.
The work around is to use sql to update the themes table to the new value for the appropriate members, then come back to SMF / Wedge to change the field value.
I.e. run this:
Code: [Select] then go to the Custom Profile Field modify screen to change the value - which must be changed to exactly the new value in the SQL code.
Is this an old bug or is editing the values beyond the idea of select boxes?

I've *eventually* loaded this but cannot get it to work. I've extracted the files and so now I've got /wedge/Plugins/PersonalMessageFlash with 2 files in it (a php and an xml). I sent PMs to my two test users and sent one back, but it looks much the same as my unmodded version i.e. I get a green (1) but no flashing.
Is it set up wrong or have I misunderstood?

Archived fixes / Admin Centre item goes to wrong place?
« on January 7th, 2013, 01:26 PM »
If you use the admin menu structure to choose Configuration - Current Theme you are taken to the current theme's settings page.
However if you click the Current Theme icon from the Administration Center you are taken to the Manage & Install screen.
Just a small one :)

This happens from within the forum or the admin centre.

Archived fixes / Error log entry when viewing image in linked topic-album
« on November 25th, 2012, 12:36 PM »
Not a biggie - functionality is unaffected (as far as I can see).
I created an album and linked it to a topic. When adding the first picture, or when viewing it, this error is logged:
Code: [Select]
This appears to correct itself once another image is added, and is not reproductable without a reinstall.

Archived fixes / Missing likes.png file
« on November 15th, 2012, 03:42 PM »
On the admin panel there's a broken image that opera tells me is likes.png - I cannot see this image file in the installation download. Hopefully an easy fix :)

Plugins / Request for 'Media Album Custom Fields' plugin
« on November 15th, 2012, 03:31 PM »
At the minute you can create a custom field that is used when uploading media items. This request is for custom fields that are used when creating/editing albums.
E.g. when creating a new custom field, specify whether it is for items or albums.
If for albums then the field is placed whenever creating, editing or viewing an album. As with existing fields it could be text, dropdown, radio or check.
If this is possible it would enable me to use Wedge for an upcoming project :)

Archived fixes / Modify board: "All groups who can see a board can enter it as well"
« on November 4th, 2012, 09:06 PM »
I'm really chuffed by the look of this feature because I've got my board set up in a well cack-handed way, and this'll make thinks much simpler.
However, I cannot get it to work. I've un-ticked this option to reveal the extra panel, but unless Regular Members are given permission in this second panel they cannot see the board i.e. they can only see General Discussion.
Am I missing a trick?

If I go into this screen I get three entries in the error log:
Code: [Select] Entries 2 and 3 are ditto bar:

Presumably related: the "Show group titles under user names?" dropdown has 'Nothing' and 'No groups' and then blank entries for the other groups. (Pity, because it looks like a really cool feature that I'd love to set up :))

The Pub / Language pack
« on November 4th, 2012, 04:20 PM »
I was gonna contribute a bit by doing an english_british language pack. Now I've read the "Language editing inside Wedge" thread and whilst I barely understood the first posts my comprehension flowed to almost zero as the thread went on.
So my question is do language packs (or Wedge equivalent) need to be created and if so in what format?
