Four Questions - Forum/Pagination/Levelup

PHP Code:

$pagination = new Pagination($adopts, $query, $rowsperpage, "http://www.".constant("DOMAIN").constant("SCRIPTPATH")."/messages.php"); 


You can edit out www. and the code should work for site url not using www. I, however, strongly recommend including www. though, since this is the convention we use for this script.

So it is recommended to use www. then? Well, I guess i could switch, because otherwise I'll have to keep changing it over every upgrade.

And yes, it is doable to direct user profile and message page to the forum, but that will require a lot more coding. You have to be familiar with the way your forum engine works. If it is MyBB, the user profile page looks like this:

PHP Code:

http://www.yourdomain.com/mybb/member.php?action=profile&uid=5 


The cheapest way to do this is to edit the navlink 'memberlist' and change its url to http://mysidiarpg.com/site/mybb/memberlist.php. If you still want to use the member list for Mysidia Adoptables but not the profile, you may go to profile.php and find this line:

PHP Code:

$article_content .= "<strong><a   href='profile.php?user={$row->username}'>{$star}{$row->username}</a></strong><br   />"; 


And change it to:

PHP Code:

$article_content .= "<strong><a  href='http://www.yourdomain.com/mybb/member.php?action=profile&uid=".usernametouid($row->username).">{$star}{$row->username}</a></strong><br  />"; 


And it should do the trick, but keep in mind that it requires the ids from adoptables and forum's user tables to be consistent. If your user id is 1 in adoptables table, but 2 in forum table, the above code will fail and you have to do a lot more coding to make it work.

Can I change the ids in the forum to match the ones on the site and then just do that thing you showed me of telling it where to start counting from?

The third one is, well, doable but definitely difficult. This requires a significant modification over the core script of your adoptables site, and will take me at least 3 days to complete, and not sure how long it will take you.

@Silver, this is actually what I wanted - I just want my forum to look the same as my site. I just wasn't sure how to transfer over the nav bar and stuff. I don't want to do some advanced mod or anything.

The last request is quite easy to achieve, you just have to re-write these lines from levelup.php to whatever you want them to be:

PHP Code:

$article_title = $lang_gave."{$owned_adoptable->name} one ".$lang_unit;
      $article_content = "<img src='{$image}'><br>{$lang_gave}{$owned_adoptable->name}    one {$lang_unit}.<br>".$lang_levelup_encourage; 


Note the $owned_adoptables is an object with various properties such as level, click, gender and tradestatus, you can access them by $owned_adoptables->property. A concrete example is already available above, note how the adoptables name is accessed as {$owned_adoptable->name}. If you do not know what properties are available in $owned_adoptables object, simply go to your prefix.owned_adoptables table and the column names are the property names.

I'm slightly confused with how to add stuff like that - basically all I want to display is clicks, level, trade status, image, name, gender and that's about it. I do like how Silver has done her's, I just want it to be displayed even when you've already clicked it.

Silver, would you mind showing me how you pulled the information from the database? After that I think I can handle it, I just don't get that part too easily.
