hummm, not sure I can post screenshots but I could reproduce the call stacks.

this is lonny's module call stack:

CREATE TABLE logdforum (`id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,`postdate` datetime NOT NULL default '0000-00-00 00:00:00',`newpostdate` datetime NOT NULL default '0000-00-00 00:00:00',`author` text NOT NULL,`parent` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',`replies` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',`userid` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',`title` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',`category` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',`content` text NOT NULL,PRIMARY KEY  (`id`)) TYPE=MyISAM;

Lonny's Forum thing and Mighty E's blogs both cause a call stack on my system.

Can't even uninstall them now but at least they are inactive.

What the heaven is the problem with these things and is there an actual module for a Player Forum somewhere??  One that actually works??

I have forever been trying, without success...to figure out WHERE in the coding or settings, that you end up with the addnews about someone's pet devouring a fairy in the Gardens.

I find it annoying to have four or five news items like that added and I want to stop that news from adding.

But I cannot find where it happens.

It is NOT in the hook to the gardens from petshop.php and it is not anywhere in gardens.php either.

So where is it coming from?

I also don't see it in the settings in the petshop module, or in the individual pets settings.

Can someone point me to the right place so I can take this out?

Thanks

Well, my site goes back quite some time.  I do not think, at the beginning, I was doing that.

I do now.

But I am pretty sure I never had any reason to muck around with the sanitize function.

I should look, what file is this?  I do have archived the original core files I could always try uploading a fresh copy and see.

Of course I would save my own so I could do a side by side compare.

That was what I thought.
And I do not get a fatal error.

I know I got a number of fatal errors with the Item system for not requiring /lib/itemhandler.php - but those all got fixed long ago.

So...so come this is not working for me?  I still get the stupid codes...

I am pretty sure I never messed with the sanitize function, I would have had no reason to.

Any help here?

I do not believe that was in any way edited or why I would.

I will look for another declaration of page_header then.

Just looked, I do not see another declaration.  I am stumped.

Do you have to somewhere require_once /lib/sanitize.php or something?

That is the only thing I can think of...

Humm...not sure I get it.  It LOOKS like the sanitize is already being used, nevertheless, I still get unwanted stuff in my page headers.

Here is the code snip for case_enter on dwellins:

Is that not supposed to sanitize the name and get the bold and color codes out of the page header?

Or am I missing something here?

Thanks.  I wonder how come dwellings was not done that way to begin with. Oh well.  Should solve my problem.

Even if it is a two-step process, no biggie.

But in my Dwellings, when anyone uses bolds or color in their Dwelling name...then the page header for their dwelling us the name f their Dwelling, as should be...but the stupid color codes are there so that I get "` b Joe's Dwellling ` b" etc, when all I WANT there is "Joe's Dwelling"

So...how do I strip those color codes out so that the page header will not include them, since they do not parse in page headers?

I actually made all the items I wanted - by modifying the code of houses.php - but it is all hard-coded specific to my site and my items.

I would release this to anyone who may want it with the note that you can't just plug and play this, you would have to alter the hard coding for your own site.

It works on 1.1.0 and I see no reason it should not work on any 1.x.x version.

Didn't your mothers ever teach you that if you don't have something nice to say, DON'T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL??

You COULD have just let it go if efficiency is what you were after, so I call B.S.  - you were cruel and intended to be so.

Because I do not look at how old a thread is.  I'm not sure why that matters so much.

It was a subject I was interested in, okay?

Maybe the better question is why you and some others must absolutely find fault with everyone else. 

I have n idea why some people here are so absoultely terrible to other people?  Why the cruelty?

I run 1.1.0 - the way I got around thee being no increment fuction was to increment a different variable, and then use the set function to set the value to the variable value...and just increment the variable.

It's a three-step process istead of a one-step process but it works.

I know, nobody but me uses 1.1.0 anymore right...because older core is so terrible, right?

BUT if you are using older core...or you don't really understand how to use the increment...or, if you are like me and you LIKE more steps so that you can SEE each step...this is how it can be done.

I know I am a terrible and sloppy coder, and not too confident of my abilities, so I tend, myself, to like the extra steps so that I can SEE each function as it happens.  I am just not all that confident of getting it right when I skip steps or combine steps.  Just an idiosyncracy I have.

SO...FWIW, there is a workaround for the not having an increment function, if anyone is interested.

Hummm, I do not see anywhere in the Creature Editor I can do this.

I should mention, at the moment, I am running 1.1.0 - is that matter?  Is this something that can only be done on higher versions?

Again, this was a curiousity question.


I now have a test server...and I am looking at the possibility of an upgrade, but ONLY if it can be done without breaking anything I already have in place.

Cool.  Have to try it.
