With the latest download dev:
There are no errors showing (via screen or log) regarding this block
The Situation is:
for any user logged in:
at www.example.com/main/node/ user's ID reflects 1, which is admin (Status Block: 1 is testing)
shows what admin (user 1) is doing at all /node/ paths
at www.example.com/main/tid/ user's ID = logged user (Status Block: username is ....)
shows what user is doing (this is okay)
at www.example.com/main/ user's ID = logged user (Status Block: username is ....)
shows what user is doing (this is okay)
See attached.
I hope this helps.
FYI: anonymous/guest does not have this enabled

James

Comment #1
icecreamyou commentedThis is with the Facebook Status block I assume? D6.4, PHP5, MySQL5?
1) The module is designed to show the status of the author of the node you're viewing on pages with a URL of node/*, so what you're seeing is probably almost correct if you were just looking at nodes created by the administrator. If you don't want this behavior you need to build a custom block using the hooks provided; you can look at the module's code for assistance (look under
hook_block()atcase 0).2) The problem you're having is because your site is located at /main/* instead of the root directory, and I completely didn't think about that when I built the module. The module detects if it's on a node or not based on whether
arg(0) == 'node' && is_numeric(arg(1)). There's probably a similar issue on your user pages. So I'll have to go back through the module sometime today and rewrite some of the page-detection code.Comment #2
jjoves commentedIceCreamYou,
Thanks for the response.
This is with the Facebook Status block I assume? D6.4, PHP5, MySQL5? Yes.
Good to know. I see now how it works on the node/ pages... So the user will know what the author of that node is doing. Excellent.
Excellent! Yes, my main root for drupal is under the folder seaandsnow.org/main/... as opposed to seaandsnow.org/... I did this when I transitioned from an "html/js" site to drupal. So, yes, let me know when the page-detection code is ready. I'll glady test it.

James
Comment #3
icecreamyou commented*Sigh*... it's really difficult for me to test this, because I don't have any test sites set up that way and it takes too much time to go set one up...
Will you do something for me? Before I go override some core functions, can you create a page with the PHP input filter and this code?
If my original diagnosis was correct, the first result will look something like /main/node/nid and the second result will look like node/nid. If I'm wrong, then everything should be working as expected, and I'm going to have to take another look at this one.

jjoves commentedIceCreamYou,
No problem. This will have to wait until after work since I don't have direct access right now. I'll post results later.

jjoves commentedIceCreamYou,
Here you go. I created a page
Preview:
http://www.seaandsnow.org/main/node/add/page
http://www.seaandsnow.org/main/node/add/page
At Save:

I hope this helps (it's not marked private, so it's viewable)

Comment #6
icecreamyou commentedHmm. That means arg() works as it should, so I was wrong about the cause of this problem.
...it looks like I was using db_result() instead of db_fetch_array() on a query on node pages that was supposed to grab both the UID and username. In an earlier version of the module there were two separate queries so it worked to use db_result(), but since I combined them I apparently forgot to switch to db_fetch_array().
Change committed to CVS, and the next dev build will be compiled at noon GMT. Let me know if it works for you, and if it doesn't go ahead and change the status of this issue back to active. If you don't want to wait for the build (it's only a very minor change) just change line 105 to use db_fetch_array() instead of db_result(), like this:
However, do update to the dev build when it comes out, because I fixed another problem where the status update form wasn't showing up on pages that aren't nodes or user profiles.
Comment #7
jjoves commentedHa! SWEET!
EXCELLENT! line 105 works wells from an admin standpoint. logged in as a user and it works well too!
"because I fixed another problem where the status update form wasn't showing up on pages that aren't nodes or user profiles."
does this mean the form (e.g., text box) does not show up at /tid or /?
I thought you can only change your status at the My Account page? no?

James
Comment #8
icecreamyou commentedYes, I meant the text box doesn't show up on non-user/node pages.
...that's how it used to be. It's not how it was supposed to be. If that's not what you want, you should copy-paste the code in facebook_status.module in hook_block() under case 3 into a custom block, and do this:
That will ensure that you get the functionality you want, but won't cause problems when you upgrade the module.
Comment #9
jjoves commentedI'll wait for whatever changes lie ahead. I'm very pleased that the "1" id thing is no more. Excellent work! Excellent!

BTW on a side note: what would you recommend for users to use for creating and editing their own galleries (like facebook)?
BTWII: This issue can be closed as you mentioned from above.
Comment #10
icecreamyou commentedThanks. :D
1) I personally use the Image module and a freetagging vocabulary combined with Views. This lets users create their own galleries with whatever name they want. The problem is that the galleries are open - in other words, anyone can add images to them. Taxonomy Access Control Lite may be one solution; I haven't tried it. Alternately, you could just create a gallery view that shows only images with a certain term from your vocabulary that are also by a given user. I hadn't thought about that until just now... probably a good idea to look into.
2) The issue will close itself after two weeks of inactivity, because it's marked as fixed.
