BUMP

I still get this error:

Warning: mysql_fetch_row(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result ressource in ../extensions/DiscussionTags/gettags.php on line 31

...when I edit tags separated by commas. Anybody encountered this problem?

hutstein · January 2007

could you please change in the extensions/DiscussionTags/ajax.php


while ($row = mysql_fetch_row($result)) {
if ($Loop > 1) echo ',';
$Name = FormatStringForDisplay($row[0], 1);
echo $Name;
$Loop++;
}

to


while ($row = mysql_fetch_row($result)) {
if ($Loop > 1) echo ',';
$Name = FormatStringForDisplay($row[0], 1);
echo $Name;
$Loop++;
}
echo mysql_error();

and tell me what error message is displayed

SlashedZero · January 2007

Err, I can't find this part of code in ajax.php...

What looks like the most is this, at lines 12 to 15:


while ($row = mysql_fetch_row($result)) {
if ($i++ > 0) echo ', ';
echo $row[0];
}

sorry i've meant the gettags.php

SlashedZero · January 2007

No problem, I should have think about looking here by myself... Okay, here's what it says:
Illegal mix of collations (latin1_swedish_ci IMPLICIT) and (utf8_general_ci COERCIBLE) for operation 'like'

Sounds like the old non-latin characters compatibility problem.

SlashedZero · January 2007

There are also other informations about this here, if it can help.

hutstein · January 2007

yes i think this has something to do with the non-latin characters. I think this is no error from the extension, you need to declare the database as utf8

SlashedZero · January 2007

Okay, but what should I do in fact? I know phpMyAdmin a bit, but I don't really know how to declare the database as utf8.

hutstein · January 2007

I think you can change it when you select the database, then click on Operations, then there's a drop down field collation...

But I think you my need to setup the vanilla tables completely new...

SlashedZero · January 2007

What I don't understand is the database is already supposed to be encoded in utf8. I encountered this problem with Vanilla 1.0.1 and fixed it with a patch suggested in the dev forum. I'll have a deeper look at it when I'll get more time.

Would there be a way to just disable this MySQL warning? I mean, it causes no other harm than displaying an error. The only problem is it confuses my users when it occurs.

hutstein · January 2007

you can change
while ($row = mysql_fetch_row($result)) {
to
while ($row = @mysql_fetch_row($result)) {

SlashedZero · January 2007

It seems to work, no warning anymore

Thanks a lot for the tip!

Does anyone know how to get the .htaccess to make the Discussion Tags add-on use the FriendlyURLs? /extension.php?PostBackAction=DiscussionTags should be something like: /extension/DiscussionTags/ and /index.php?TagFilter=7 should be something lke: /tag/7/ Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Minisweeper · January 2007

You need the extension do that, not the .htaccess. Any thoughts, houseinprogress?

houseinprogress · January 2007

Because of the amount of work involved FriendlyURL compatibality probably isn't something that would happen very soon.

I have a question. I decided to changing the number of "Recent Tags" that appear in the Panel. Right now, the default is 30 and I wanted to change it to 10.

I found the following line of code:

$result = mysql_query("SELECT count(A.TagID) AS number,B.Tag,B.TagID FROM ".$DatabasePrefix."DiscussionHasTags A INNER JOIN ".$DatabasePrefix."DiscussionTags B ON (A.TagID = B.TagID) WHERE TO_DAYS(NOW()) - TO_DAYS(A.Created) <= 365 GROUP BY A.TagID ORDER BY number DESC LIMIT 0,30",$Context->Database->Connection);

and I changed the 0,30 at the end of the line to 0,10 and it seemed to reduce the number of items in the panel down to 10 nicely.

However, the 10 that are displayed aren't the most recent tags. It seems like the tags that are being displayed are only the 10 most popular tags.

Above, it says that one of the features of this add-on is the "Viewing of recently popular tags." Do newer tags that aren't as popular ever make it onto the list? It doesn't seem so as far as I can tell.

Unless I'm mistaken — or did something wrong when I changed the setting — the list of tags in the panel are only the "most popular" tags at any given moment (or at least in the 365 days, it seems). Can you confirm?

Thanks.

yesahasureok · January 2007

hello,

is there a way to regulate the fontsize of the diplayed tags in the panel?
its actually on somthing like 18-20 px or such .. very mighty at least

thx

yesahasureok · January 2007

for now as non css solution and for those who are interested in:

around line 250

 else $color = 'your textcolor';
$toreturn .= ' <a style="font-size:XXpx; text-decoration:XX;font-weight:XX;font-stretch:XX; color:'.$color.';" href="index.php?TagFilter='.$Value[2].'">'.$Value[0].'</a> ';
}
$toreturn .= '<div style="text-align:right; padding-right:5px;"><a style="font-size:XXpx; text-decoration:XX;" href="extension.php?PostBackAction=DiscussionTags">All tags ...</a></div>';

now im looking for a solution to display those tags in various fontsizes like on bbpress.org... anyone?

hutstein · January 2007

the fontsizes are actually between 80% and 150%,

if you add


$Configuration['CLOUD_COLOR_80'] = '#ff0000'; 
$Configuration['CLOUD_COLOR_90'] = '#ff0000';

and so on to conf/settings.php you can change the colors from the different font sizes
