(Solved) 2 Probs: 'who's online', & help page...

Problem 2: You have to add the who's online code to your skins tpl files. The code needed are {online_title} and  {online_content}

Problem 3: For your links just use "submission.php" instead of " http://yayay..../efiction/submission.php"

Thanks. You can laugh at me if you want, but I don't see an option anywhere to change the links to the ones that work for problem #3. I spent hours last night/this morning trying to figure out where I could modify the help page, to no avail. I feel like a moron, but where do I go to change that?  😕

For # 2 -- I can just put those brackets in anywhere on those tpl files and it will work?

I never edited anything for efiction 1.1 so this is totally new ground for me.

Thank you kindly,

I think I was having the same problem as you were. I just downloaded v 3.3 and several of the links didn't work. I finally found the Help Page under Custom Pages in the admin menu and was able to change the links there(after pressing edit). The main thing I noticed is that the Help Page template tries to go to a page called newaccount when the real page is listed as account. And the same thing with submission rules. The templates are using different names than the actual pages that were created. Hope that helps.

#1 - Look under "custom pages" under the admin panel.
#2 - Theoretically, that should work. 🙂

... also, "(We would LOVE to see some skin submission! Please let us know if you're interested so we can provide guidelines.)" I can help with that. I mean, you are an affiliate and stuff. :p PM me if interested. xD

Okay, I've got my help page fixed. Thank you both for your assistance with that.

Is the index.tpl file correct to edit if I just want them showing up on the first page people see?

I now have the following on index.tpl:

{info_title}
{welcome}{info_content}
{login_content}
{random_title}
{random_content}
{categories_title}
{categories_content}
{recent_title}
{recent_content}
{news_title}
{news_content}
{online_title}
{online_content}

No 'who's online' showing up anywhere though. Did I pick the wrong tpl or am I just missing something?

Make sure that the Who's Online block is active in the Blocks panel.

Go to Admin... Blocks...

Who's Online should be listed as Active. Submit!

I've done that at least 5 times already.

If you are trying to get it to work on Zenlike, it isn't working because the variable isn't on it.

Zenlike's index.tpl:

<!-- INCLUDE BLOCK : header -->

{welcome}<br /><br />

<div align="center"><table width="75%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td class="c1">{categories_title}</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="c2">{categories_content}</td>
</tr>
</table><br /><br /></div>
<hr />
<div class="n1">{news_title}</div><div align="center">{news_content}</div>
</td>
<td class="m2">

<div class="m3">{info_title}</div><div class="m4">{login_content}<br /><br />{info_content}</div>

<br /><br />

<div class="m3">{random_title}</div><div class="m4">{random_content}<br /><br /></div>
<!-- INCLUDE BLOCK : footer -->

Add {online_title} {online_content} to the index.tpl file and see if that works.

If it doesn't, check your variables.php file and make sure that you don't have it to set that block off. For example, this is what the categories block looks like on in variable.php:

$blocks['categories']['status'] = 1;

And if that doesn't help, then I dont know.

Thank you -- finally had time tonight. Got that code into the index.tpl for the skins I currently have, and all show who's online now.
