No message are displayed.

Make sure you have selected proper forums and groups and have added the message and a number of days that meets the start date of the topic.

Hi Adriano,

another great plugin from you.

I imported the plugin to our 4.2. testbed and have a problem with it: The Banner with the dead topic protection text is shown next to the reply button, not below...

What is going wrong here?

Thanks,
Thomas

 

[Adriano Faria]

Probably your theme is out of the pattern. I mean, when designer change things place this happen.

Please, test in default theme and let me know. 

[Thomas P]

Yes, you were right. On default it is where it should be as in your screenshot.

How can I change that on my theme... is there a place in the theme next to the button to change the hook line wrap...?

Thanks for your efforts

[Adriano Faria]

It’s not a thing you can do. You should contact your designer and request “fix” in that area.

[Thomas P]

Thanks, fair enough. I now edited your plugin to remove the top notice, so it just shows the bottom notice next to the quick reply dialog.
I am aware that this is a quick fix and I have to look into this issue at a later time...

It seems I cannot select certain forums for this to work on, while exempting other forums. It's all or nothing.

What's New in Version 1.0.1:

• Fix error when selecting forums

Notification is shown for all forum sections, even if one section is selected in the plugin settings.

[Adriano Faria]

Notification?

Banner with the dead topic protection text

[Adriano Faria]

Banner?!? It doesn't has banner or notification.

Please, post a screenshot.

You mean this?

Баннер?!? У него нет баннера или уведомления.

Пожалуйста, разместите снимок экрана.

Вы имеете в виду это?

Yes it.

[Adriano Faria]

Are you using the Default or 4.2 theme? If you’re in Default, switch to 4.2 and test it.

Is it possible to remove the top message (whilst keeping the bottom one)? If so, how, please?

This one?

[Adriano Faria]

Just checked and you can't, unless you have FTP access, then I'll show you how to edit the hook file, rebuild cache and then it will show only above reply form.

[Millipede]

Yes, that one. I have FTP access, that would be great, thanks! Would editing the hook file mean redoing it after updates?

Yes. But this hasn't been update in a while, no bug, etc. So it's safe to make the edit.

[Millipede]

Super, thanks!

[Adriano Faria]

Here it goes, in case you want to do it.

Download and open \plugins\deadtopicprotection\hooks\dtpTopicView.php and find:

/* !Hook Data - DO NOT REMOVE */
public static function hookData() {
 return array_merge_recursive( array (
  'topic' => 
  array (
    0 => 
    array (
      'selector' => '#elClubContainer > div.ipsClearfix > ul.ipsToolList.ipsToolList_horizontal.ipsClearfix.ipsSpacer_both',
      'type' => 'add_after',
      'content' => '{{if $topic->deadTopicProtection()}}
	{template="deadtopicprotection" group="plugins" app="core" location="global" params="$topic"}
{{endif}}',
    ),
    1 => 
    array (
      'selector' => '#replyForm',
      'type' => 'add_before',
      'content' => '{{if $topic->deadTopicProtection()}}
	{template="deadtopicprotection" group="plugins" app="core" location="global" params="$topic"}
{{endif}}',
    ),
  ),
), parent::hookData() );
}
/* End Hook Data */

Change it to:

/* !Hook Data - DO NOT REMOVE */
public static function hookData() {
 return array_merge_recursive( array (
  'topic' => 
  array (
    0 => 
    array (
      'selector' => '#replyForm',
      'type' => 'add_before',
      'content' => '{{if $topic->deadTopicProtection()}}
	{template="deadtopicprotection" group="plugins" app="core" location="global" params="$topic"}
{{endif}}',
    ),
  ),
), parent::hookData() );
}
/* End Hook Data */

1. Uploade the file.
2. Go to ACP -> System -> Support -> Something isn't working correctly, click in the button to continue.

You'll get the message only above the editor:

[Millipede]

Brilliant, that works a treat, thanks so much!

Each message has a css class deadTopicProtection

So you can hide top message using css

.ipsToolList + .deadTopicProtection {
    display: none;
}
