hello there !

a quick one please: no rush ;)

I actually found this code, not in \blogs\conf\_application.php (I looked, it wasn't there), but in /skins_adm/legacy/_adminUI.class.php. with b2evo 1.8.2, plain skin.

and this is what I found:

.'<a href="'.$htsrv_url.'login.php?action=logout&amp;redirect_to='.$admin_url.'">'.T_('Logout').'</a>
				&bull;
				<a href="'.( isset($Blog) ? $Blog->get('url') : $baseurl ).'">'.T_('Exit to blogs').'
					<img src="'.$rsc_url.'icons/close.gif" width="14" height="14" border="0" class="top" alt="" title="'
					.T_('Exit to blogs').'" /></a>

which is nearly the same (but not quite yet), and after a few trials, as usual, I can't get it working. (I really tried a few things, I really have, but I'm only good with cut&paste stuff, not with scripts).

could you help me please?

Much appreciated

Umm, this hack was written a while back before 1.8 was public, i will look into it when i have time.

Sylv, in 1.8 it should already work this way: if a global $Blog exists, it will get used in the "Exit..." link.

About /skins_adm/legacy/_adminUI.class.php: this only gets used if you use the "legacy" admin skin (check your profile). Of course, if always helps to just put an "echo 'foo';" statement somewhere to see if a given code block actually gets executed.

Probably you've "just" found a place in the backoffice, where this does not work as expected. It should work at least from the "Write" tab (and use the selected blog from the "New post in blog:" selector).

thank you guys :D

Actually, it works fine at all times.............except when a post is edited or saved or else. when you do that, you get the screen for the pings. it is then that the redirection goes wrong.

What I have to do is click another tag, just for the sake of it ( it I mean: to come back to the right blog database), and only then the redirection works. new users may not understand that, ( t'bit annoying I say :'( )

cheers

Fixed for 1.8.3.

See http://evocms.cvs.sourceforge.net/evocms/b2evolution/blogs/inc/CONTROL/items/edit_actions.php?r1=1.11.2.5&r2=1.11.2.6&pathrev=v-1-8 (you may download and replace the file from there, or apply the changes manually).

Cheers.

Thank you too

but ever since you've posted that link, I've been trying (downloading, copying, etc). All I can understand (I think) is that the changed code is

// For the "Exit to blogs..." link:
$Blog = $edited_Item->get_Blog();

:lol: Gimme another 1200 posts or so here, and [u]maybe[/u], I would crack the code :lol:

Just download the new file from;
http://evocms.cvs.sourceforge.net/*checkout*/evocms/b2evolution/blogs/inc/CONTROL/items/edit_actions.php?pathrev=v-1-8
and replace it with your old one.

Haha yeh :P

yes, I did copy the whole thing in /_adminUI.class.php, but I get:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object on line 22

???

Eh, thats because the file we are linking to above is;
b2evolution/blogs/inc/CONTROL/items/edit_actions.php

Not _adminUI.class.php ....

wow, thats because, I was so concentrating on the code....I didn't even noticed the title of the page. :oops:

New learner is getting it

IT'S GRAND !!

All working beautifully now, I'm godsmacked, only 1198 posts to go

Thanks to both of you, really.

Hehe, you still have a fair while to go, and by the time you do, we've probz hit another +1000 helping you get there :P

Nah, learners are good, and enthusiastic learners are better, because hopefully one day it's less work for us :) Which you seem to have already done in one of your posts :)

Don't worry, you'll get there :) one day... :P

Thanks mate !

(I think I've already helped a couple of people English/french)

I like the spirit of this forum, it's dedicated full power, backed up with substantiality.

ok.............updating:

now, my users see these tabs:

1 - write
2 - posts
3 - categories
4 - blog settings (disabled)
5 - my profile
6 - tools

from 1, 2 and 3, they exit to their own blog
but for 4, 5 & 6, they go to the base url

I didn't see that before. sorry

can you help please?

Thank you

Well thats because for 5&6 you are not actually browsing a blog... So there is no blog param flying around...

Your situation is a special case.

still......if I'm a user and I think : 'OK, let change my profile !'
do done, go back to my blog, .......oh hold on: thats not mine !!

why the exception?

Because you have blogs per user, there is no way of knowing which blog is attached to each user unless we do some heavy hacking.

This hack just simply uses the $blog param that gets passed around, you'll see it in your url bar every now and then.

Ok......I think I sort of understand.......I'll live with that..........

but beware, I'm not far away !!!!! ;)

Thank you
