Would be a great shame to lose LGSL on our site when we go live with our Joomla 1.6 site

How much of a donation would it take to motivate you Rich?

i also would be very glad about implementing new games like crysis 2 and others...

so tell us, when you would like to start it?

I have now switched to joomla 1.6
Although the LGSL doesn't work on j16 I have installed a blank j1.5 site inside the j1.6.

I installed the same template on both sites and you cant tell the difference tbh.
Downside is not having the LGSL modules on the front page, I have a link in the menu instead.
Not ideal but allows me to have LGSL and any other extensions that dont work on j1.6

Hope this workaround helps any joomla 1.6 users or wannabe users...

well difference between j1.5 and 1.6 is structure of mysql-tables in my eyes...

other workaround: install lgsl-stand-alone and load it into j1.6 with a wrapper or iframe....

I too would be very much interested in having LGSL compliant to Joomla 1.6. This component and module are way too useful to be lost.

Hello, LGSL works in Joomla 1.6.
You just have to create an external link to the component and edit lgsl_zone.php in line 15. Removes exclamation of isset...

We need a new updated release soon. I eventually figured it out, but I thought I should let it known that others around the internet are asking for an update because they do not understand much about source code let alone making any kind of alterations to code to make this work. An updated release will bring many smiles to many peoples' faces.

Well. I dont think it is difficult, and it takes great knowledge of the code to open the lgsl_zone.php, comment the line 15 ... is a temporary solution, pending a new version. In the event that there is a new version (hopefully if, of course). So that is what you have for now ...


global $lgsl_config, $lgsl_zone_number;



  //if (!isset($lgsl_zone_number)) { exit("LGSL PROBLEM: $lgsl_zone_number NOT SET"); }



  require "lgsl_class.php";

Thanks a lot, very helpful.

Where do I manually edit my "module class"? Cause module settings are not displayed in Joomla 1.6 ..

Hi, in lgsl_config.php you can set up zone view. If you want to create a class for the module, you must do this manually in lgsl_zone.php

Hi,
Thanks I modified the mod_lgsl.xml so i at least could choose my module style.

    version="1.6.0"

    client="site"

</extension>

Another problem with the module is that i can't see the player names. Probably there's a setting for it?

Best Regards

Hi, have you changed anything else? Just in case you have fixed this "showing players" bug anyhow.

The players names show on mine okay, on a battlefield bad company 2 server, component and module set to zone 1 (you may have an older version because i do not see zone parameter in your xml file - although I have no idea if this would make a difference??? )

It's version 5.8. I'm using now the xml file of your uploaded LGSL. > dosn't help. I'll try a new installation on a local server.

EDIT: It's working now after a clean installation with your LGSL files steve.
So forget about the PM i've sent.

This is why I do not donate to many projects unless they have a very active dev status. Yes, this is a workaround and we are very well aware of this, but the fact of the matter still remains with the 'if' factor which makes many, many people very reluctant to donate and why so many projects online dwindle away to the point they die.

The whole 'if' factor I don't like. I planned to donate to LGSL, but when I hear things like these it makes me uncomfortable to throw my money into a project (and I too must work as well) that may very well go dead and nobody gets anything out of my donation or theirs for that matter.

As I said too, I managed it, some others have managed the workaround and that is fine, but I hope you can be understanding of my points made above and in this post. It is important to have active strong communities to keep projects alive and reassurance that production or development will continue to ensure projects survive and stay alive.

Note these are only my opinions on the matter and that I'm not trying to push and pull what should be going on around here. I am only concerned that if left too long this project will die because people may have to move onto another solution being forced into using GameTracker which I personally am not fond of the idea. It's just something to think about.

Hi Borg, I personally agree on everything you said. But if you read the "entire" forum you will notice that there is no community. The person which is owned this code, is who has the floor. I have read post´s, expressing not having need to evolve the code in some variants, such as stats, pagination, search, etc ...

Understandably, your point of view, but responsible for it or is tired or not having time to the delight of everyone who says to donate or want to.
Clearly hope that this project does not die. But also you must understand that the person responsible has not opened up space for people who could help develop the code, to update or new feature.
So you have to understand the delay in updates, due to third-party updates.

I hope not misunderstand, I used google translator ... and this is not a criticism of anyone.

@KIKOFF

I entirely understand. I have posted on the Joomla! extensions comment page for LGSL to let them know they should contact Richard if they are interested in helping in development of LGSL. It would really take a load off him if there were others that could help. I think it would be a positive thing and bring more interest to LGSL and perhaps make it even more feature rich. I can also speak with some people and see if I can spark some interest. Thanks for the prompt replies too!
