that is what u need to download:
www.objectclarity.com/index.php?option=c...nc=fileinfo&id=9

Thanks a lot, I"m downloading it

Cy all

OK thanks but why does it say 'Still testing - not for release yet'

Cheers

Greg

it says testing because that is the latesst release and the developer is a restless sould that enhances the bot all the time. u can see that by following this huge thread
for me that realease works great, without any flaw... if it does not then use the last stable release..

O.K., problem.

I finally decided to drop the other discussbot and use the objectclarity one--deleted old, installed new...now I get this error written all over my front page:

Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated...followed by a bunch of stuff ending in a link to line 355 in the discussbot.

Any ideas?

As luck would have it with the redesign of the board the downloads section is not working so I can't go back to the old one...kinda of a pain!

I am getting the same reference warnings and the bot does not show up whether on auto or manual mode.
Have not had enough time to debug myself.

Do you have access to the php.ini file on your server?

You can define what to log and where to log errors/warnings/notices...

I too log a lot but have them written to my error.log file on the server rather than bothering my users with these messages.

Anyway same error message here.

Hadn't noticed that before...

Simply remove the two ampersands from line 355. That's the pass-by-reference indicator causing the warnings and in this case there's no need to pass these variables by reference.

[code:1]
$resultid = insertContentAsFirstPost( &$row, $catid, $subject, $prefix, &$insertTime, $ipAddy, $botCopyContent);

After:
$resultid = insertContentAsFirstPost( $row, $catid, $subject, $prefix, $insertTime, $ipAddy, $botCopyContent);

[/code:1]

O.K., great! That worked perfectly.

Now another question.

1) I see the option for having an image appear instaed of text--good! But what link do I use for the image?

2) The discuss link is appearing at the bottom of the article. In the old discuss bot I used the tag at the beginning of the article, so it appeared after the byline. Can I control the position with this discussbot?

3) The quickpost feature is cool--but doesn't appear on the front page. Very few of my posts require going beyond the front page, thus viewers will almost never see the quick post link. Is there a way to make it appear on the front page? Even better, make it appear as an image?

Thanks!

There's an image included in the 1.0.3 version - I guess I don't know what you're asking.

It was never intended to put the link at the front of the text, I never tried it there. If you don't mind reading code, have a look and try it.

Quickpost was left off the front page on purpose. It really messes with the page layout so I didn't expect people would want to use it there - just like comments on the front page. Comments aren't displayed on the front page either.
