If Link Mode is enabled, this message becomes a link, pointing to "New Message" window.

If you enable Message Index text, this mod will show a message saying No messages are present.

SMF tells me that this mod isn't compatible with 1.1.2 version.
I just edited the .xml file and it works with SMf 1.1.2 .
i attached the mod i used.
basically it is the same package as the current with only these 2 changes :
In the package-info.xml file i replaced this

Code Select Expand

<install for="1.1 RC3, 1.1, 1.1.1">
with this

Code Select Expand

<install for="1.1 RC3, 1.1, 1.1.1, 1.1.2">

Did you try the one attached in this thread? What errors did you get?

I just tried to install this mod (the new version for SMF 1.1.2) but I got an error message. (see attachment)
If I do not use the Turkish language, would that create problems if I continue
with installation?

I also added attachment with current mods installed.

Just go ahead with installation and it will still work fine.

I just installed it, but no "empty board notifications" for me ... 

Nothing happened at all.

What went wrong?

It should not create that kind of error. I have checked the file, and there is still "ignore" line on the languages other than English.

You can check files (ModSettings.php , BoardIndex.template.php and MessageIndex.template.php) for the installation and if needed you should add missing lines by hand.

Also, if you use languages other than English, you have to add proper lines to language files;  Modifications.your_language.php and index.your_language.php

Hey yall. I just installed this mod and it works on default theme. However,it doesn't work on a custom theme. (custom theme does not have a boardindex.php)


What gives?
