I was doing some testing before upgrading a vBulletin 3.8.4 board to vB 4.0.1, for that I downloaded the MySQL database of the forum using phpMyAdmin, created a new database on a different hosting account & imported the database there. Next I run the upgrade script & all worked fine, till I accessed my upgraded testing forum & tried to open some pages, I got the following MySQL error:
As I said in the TemplateCodes.com system review, the Listing Filter module can filter ads by State or using an extra (custom) field but can’t be setup to filter by countries. There’s a way to make it do that though but you need to mess with the gears of the system, opening & editing a number of PHP files.
OK as promised in my TemplateCodes system review here's my little guide to create new blocks (or side bar elements) for your 68Classifieds site that has the Template Zones module enabled. This will allow you to add new content or move elements from the Accordion & give them a different placement & order.
So I decided to make a review & talk about things you need to know before you buy the TemplateCodes.com system of modifcations & templates for the 68Classifieds script.
I previously made a quick comparative of classifieds scripts & had chosen 68Classifieds for my project. But like other scripts it has its limitations, I guess any site has unique needs & unless you hire a programmer you won’t be able to satisfy at 100% those needs.
You may need to put some warning message or an advertisement or .. whatever in only a part of the folders inside your vBulletin forums. I guess there are some modifications that may help but the simpler way is just to edit some templates using a little PHP conditioning.
Some DDoS attacks are so strong that they just take down your server. The only way you have then to try & get rid of it is to contact your hosting provider to find some solution for you (or pay for DDoS protection). But sometimes the server manages to keep running although under attack, in this case you may be able to do somethings to at least reduce the impact of the DDoS & loads on server while working on a permanent solution. Let’s review some I could figure out from a personal experience..
I used to use two modifications (or plugins / addons) on vB for default avatars & default signatures, but then I decided to limit the use of mods & uninstalled those two. Still I wanted to keep the features.
Note: This guide shows the exact steps for AVArcade 3 script, but if you understand the idea you could apply similar changes to other versions of AVArcade or even to completely different PHP softwares.
Now that you made your theme translatable, let’s do the necessary to translate it.
For that you will have to use a translation software, in this guide we’ll use POEdit, so go ahead and download then install it.
I had really a hard time figuring out how to internationalize a Wordpress theme for a “multilingual” site I’m working on & then to “localize” it. All that because the guides I read are made by geeks, & geeks never explain things properly… seriously!
