ForumsCollapse Block

dad7732 · Posted: Thu Nov 26, 2009 10:04 am

Is there any easy way to get the ForumsCollapsing block to work in this version. Client does not want to upgrade to 2.4 yet but likes the block.

Right and left blocks do not appear as well as the ForumsCollapsing block doesn't appear either.

Default theme Ravenice.

PS: Have searched and read other posts where it has been working in earlier RN versions.

PS+: Copied the block-ForumsCollapsing.php from the 2.4 distro, possibly the problem? Is there another one that does work?

Cheers

Still doesn't work, right and left blocks disappear in ravenice and in fisubice the left blocks are visible and neither theme displays the forumcollapsing block. Dunno

Thanks

Did you add the javascript in the javascript.php file?
Here is the download that has the instructions and extra files.

That works, I didn't take into consideration that all that was part of 2.4 - just assumed that copying the block was sufficient.

The block in the package now uses jQuery. So in order to get it to work properly you would need to assure that the main jQuery library is loaded. Other than that you should have no problems in any version.

Ok, how do I make sure jQuery is loaded.

Now that I think about this I am a little hesitent to recommend this because I also think you have to use the latest version of jQuery. I think origiannly this casued a problem with the form validation script on registration page for the username and password.

I think this is all you need to do. If you wnat to give it try do the following. Grab the latest version of jquery.js and jquery.validate.js from "inlcudes/jquery/" of the latest release. Then open "includes/jquery/jquery.php" and go to the end of the file:

Code:

</script>
';
}
?>

Change it to this:

Code:

</script>
';
} else {
echo '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="includes/jquery/jquery.css" />';
echo '<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript" src="includes/jquery/jquery.php"></script>';
}
?>

I don't think you need the css file, but I wasn't sure. I didn't try this because I don't have 2.3 installed, but I think it should work.

jquery.js doesn't look anything like that ... it's a javascript file, not a .php file. Smile

The end of the file jquery.php looks like:

Quote:

</script>
';
addJSToHead($JStoHeadHTML, 'inline');
}
?>

Now what?

Ok, I changed it to jquery.php Smack

The file you posted is the 2.4 file. I was refering to the 2.3 jquery.php. If you use the jquery.php from 2.4 you will have big problems Smile

Nope, not using the 2.4 file, using the one provided above by SpasticDonkey.

Well anything using the addJSToHead() function is from 2.4. So just use the jquery.php from the 2.3 distro.

Yes, I'm confusing this issue with the other one I posted, getting mixed up with what I'm posting and where. However, back on track now, thanks.
