What do you mean by ‘box’? Do you mean the part where it reports on who has thanked you for a post?
Can we have a link to a page with this on so we can see it?

Yes. The forum is behind membership software but I have a screenshot if that helps: http://i.imgur.com/kNeqgCC.jpg

Is this a standard Simple:Press supplied theme or has ot been customised? And which theme is it you are using please?

I am using the “default” theme, copied and re-named so that a small number of customisations are not overwritten, such as removing the stats box at the bottom.

So we really ought to start out by taking a look at the theme template to make sure there hasn’t been any problem introduced there. So…

…can you take a look at the spTopicView.php template in the custom theme and check that the function:

sp_thanks_thanks_for_post();

is only called once? If you search for the actual call (as opposed to a ‘function_exists’ check then it should only appear once.

I have:

# Add Share This and/or Answers Topic to bottom of post content
# ———————————————————————-
if (function_exists(‘sp_ShareThisTopicIndexTag’) || function_exists(‘sp_AnswersTopicAnswer’) || function_exists(‘sp_thanks_thanks_for_post’)){
sp_ColumnStart(‘tagClass=spPluginSection spCenter&width=100%&height=40px’);
if (function_exists(‘sp_ShareThisTopicIndexTag’)) sp_ShareThisTopicIndexTag(‘tagClass=ShareThisTopicIndex spLeft’);
if (function_exists(‘sp_AnswersTopicAnswer’)) {
if ($spThisPost->post_index == 1) sp_AnswersTopicSeeAnswer(‘tagClass=spAnswersTopicSeeAnswer spButton spRight’, __sp(‘See Answer’), __sp(‘Go to the post marked as the answer’));
sp_AnswersTopicAnswer(‘tagClass=spRight’, __sp(‘Answers Post’), __sp(‘This post answers the topic’));
sp_AnswersTopicPostIndexAnswer(‘tagClass=spButton spRight’, __sp(‘Mark as Answer’), __sp(‘Mark this post as topic answer’), __sp(‘Unmark as Answer’), __sp(‘Unmark this post as topic answer’));
}
sp_ColumnEnd();
if (function_exists(‘sp_thanks_thanks_for_post’)) {
sp_InsertBreak();
sp_thanks_thanks_for_post();
}
sp_InsertBreak();
}
# End Share This and/or Answers Topic addition
# ———————————————————————-

Next stage, I think, is that we really do need to see this topic. Are you able to set us up with an account so we can take a look? If so then please PM credentials to both myself and to ‘Mr Papa’. Please include in the PM a link to your site, a link to this thread and brief reminder of the problem. And one of us will take a look for you.

Will do

Most curious. I think it’s something in the template – I can certainly see some what looks like malformed HTML but I can’t yet put my finger on it.

Could you do me a favour? Could you very briefly switch to the standard, supplied ‘default’ theme, clear your browser cache and then run  page or two again to see if the problem persists? If it persists it will at least save me going on a wild goose chase.

It’s fine with the default theme.

Ah. Good news. Let me take a close look at your theme. I will see if I can find anything…

Thank you

PM sent…

back to post #6 I am afraid

You DO have two calls to that function in your spTopicView.php template. Look above the part you copied and pasted in this thread and you will see it. That’s why you have two displays!
