hi there,
i currently have the max number of messages set to 200.
when that limit is reached does the count go to 201, 202. etc, or start again from 1, 2...
also, the newest topic will still be displayed at the top right?
any help appreciated.
Thanks!

sorry just another relating question.
for example if the limit was reached, and the oldest topic was msg number 1, with a reply being 2. what happens to the reply when a new topic is posted? is the entire topic deleted, i.e. posts 1 and 2 are both lost?

[Klemen]

After that old posts will be deleted (yes, including replies)

Hi
Is it possible to have page breaks
i.e

| 1 2 3 4 of 4 | Next Page >>

On the Mboard?

Many thanks for any help!

[Klemen]

No, MBoard doesn't support that.

No, MBoard doesn't support that.

Hi
Ok many thanks for your reply
it's much appreciated!!!

hi again
i was wondering if there's a max count limit on mboard.
i.e. after a certain number of counts, i'll need to reset the count or something, or will it just keep on going up to 10000000, etc
is there a way of recycling the numbers. for exmaple if i get the max msg to 200, is there a way of making the count cycle between 1 and 200, so that what would be msg 201 becomes 1.
thanks

No limit regarding how high the ID is.

You can try changing

Code: Select all

$count++;

to something like

Code: Select all

if ($count >= 200) {
	$count = 1;
} else {
	$count++;
}

, but I haven't tested it. The above change needs to be made twice inside mboard.php.

hi,
and that would limit the posts between 1 and 200?
so after 200 posts, it just goes back to 1 again?
if so i'll change it on my mboard
will new topics still be displayed at the top?
cheers Klemen!!!

[Klemen]

Haven't tesed it, but yes it should. And everything else remains the same.

hi Klemen,
made the change and works great so far, one last thing...

In settings.php, I've set the max msg to 200, so should the above code be

if ($count >= 201) {
$count = 1;
} else {
$count++;
}

to accommodate the additional post. or is the old one deleted before the post made?
thanks!

[icepack]

hello?
does anyone know? please help!

[Klemen]

Yes, that should do it.

[icepack]

hello
after i made this change the old posts are not getting deleted automatically. i have to do it manually via admin.

[Klemen]

Told you I haven't tested anything

Try removing this code:

Code: Select all

/* Delete old posts */
$count -= $settings['maxposts'];
$newfile="msg/".$count.".".$settings['extension'];
if (file_exists($newfile))
    {
        deleteOld($count,$newfile);
    }

Then in line 340, just below

Code: Select all

function createNewFile($name,$mail,$subject,$comments,$count,$date,$other="",$up="0") {
global $settings;

try adding this:

Code: Select all

$newfile="msg/".$count.".".$settings['extension'];
if (file_exists($newfile))
    {
        deleteOld($count,$newfile);
    }

Again haven't tested this...
