Questions about M2F

[nmbr1seed]

I was wondering if anyone has any info on this mod being used on 1.4.1? I was thinking of trying it out and wanted to know if there were any known issues. Will it work with 1.4.1? Any comments on how it works?

Thanks.

Hi

Have you link to the mod so we can check it out...

Here you go, it works in a fashion apart from:

- BBCodes such as Quote, etc fail

I wish it could be made compatible as we've used it for years! The author is not interested in supporting non-vanilla PhpBBS though.

Has anyone succesfully made m2f work with IM 141? I have done numerous searches and consulted people across several forums, but I have not found any resources for getting the two to work together. I don't have any measurable .scripting skills, so trying it on my own has been completely unsuccesful.

Any/all help would be greatly appreciated!

Its working fien for me now, I solved the BBcode promblem by replacing the contents of:

template/<My>/admin/m2f_html_email_body.tpl

with the bbcode used on board the forum. Solved all my issues on one fell swoop.

Thanks for the response. When you installed, did you do it manually or with something like EasyMod? Did you just follow the m2f install instructions verbatim (aside from the BBcode part), or did you have to do some modifications?

[tekguru]

It was installed manually as very few edits of the core IM files are required. No other mods were needed apart from the BBCode change.

I will try installing it manually again. Thanks!

[tekguru]

Good luck, keep us posted on how you get on!

Still no luck. I went through it again and installed m2f manually. Although the installation didn't seem to break anything in IM141, there is no indication anywhere in the menus or ACP that m2f exists. I wish I had the patience to see this through but I have tried so many times, gotten advice from so many people, and nothing seems to work. If there is any kind soul who'd be willing to set up m2f for me, I would be eternally grateful for your assistance and I would sing your praises from the rooftops. Otherwise I am resigned to go with a vanilla phpBB site with m2f, as it 's the only thing I can manage to get working.

Thanks to everyone who has tried to help, it is much appreciated.

Hi

When manually adding files to the admin folder also remember to add the same files to admin/modules then you will see everything as you should in the ACP...

I hope that helps...

[tekguru]

Hopefully it will, just no time here to assist I'm afraid.

Okay, I finished feeling sorry for myself and I'm ready to give it another try. <img>

I think one of the problems was that I was using an older version of m2f. I've now got v1.2.6 and I am reading through the install guide (m2f_phpbb20x.txt).

I solved the BBcode promblem by replacing the contents of:

template/<My>/admin/m2f_html_email_body.tpl

with the bbcode used on board the forum

Also, tekguru, can you elaborate? I'm not clear what you mean by 'bbcode used on the board forum.' Is there a .script (or section of .script) that I should cut/paste into m2f_html_email_body.tpl? Or do I delete the file and replace it with another file entirely?

Thanks.

When manually adding files to the admin folder also remember to add the same files to admin/modules then you will see everything as you should in the ACP

found it, I added the following to the admin/modules folder per your instructions:

admin_m2f.php

I see mail 2 forum on the ACP, but when I go to Mailing Lists, I get the following error:

Template->make_filename(): Error - template file not found: admin/m2f_mailinglists.tpl
