Couple of problems with the forums in 7.9 patched 3.2 which I just downloaded from this site.
And I really am running 3.2 not like the other guy that was mistaken about his version.
I'm also running Sentinal if that makes a diff.
I ran the upgrade.php which successfully created the tables changes.
I installed all the 3.2 patched files and edited mainfile.php for Sentinal code and a few other module adds I have on my site - mainly just includes.
Everything seems to be running fine except the forums.
There are none!!!!
When I click on the forum link I get a page with the header, footer & left side blocks and that's it. The rest of the page is blank save my theme colors. When I go into admin and click on the Forums to get to Forums Admin I get a blank white screen. <shrug>
I wanted to upgrade the forums especially because patched 3.1b exibited a problem when changing permissions. On submit i'd get a page of hyrogliphs, but the permissions would save and take effect. Also it would cough on long posts. Cough so hard it would log the user OUT!!!! <imagine that!!!> Never saw such a thing. There were other bugs as well in 3.1b. I applied all the code fixes in these forums except for one or 2 because the code to be replaced just wasn't there or the code applied would break the mod and it wouldn't parse.
Also occasionally a user tries to post a new topic in the forums and if they click either button, preview or submit, the end up on the index.php page without the new topic post being saved.
I returned the site back to the old forums module (from 3.1b) in the meantime, despite the above listed problems, till I can solve this problem. At least it displays.
In the case of the gibberish make sure gzip_compress is set to 0 in the bbconfig database table, for forums half empty page try loading the subSilver theme if you're using any other to make sure it's not theme related, as for the blank forums admin page turn on display_errors in config.php
Thanks for the reply from the 2 best guys in the world to get help from!!!!
Awsome work you guys do for the Nuke community!!!!
Anyway:
I think I found the culprit.
I enabled error reporting the the config.php. Reloaded the new mainfile.php and the new forum module and, for some reason, everything was working. The forums were there and I made test posts as replies and a new topic. all went well.
But when I went to the forums admin up came the error:
Code:
Warning: main(modules/Hot_Or_Not/h_config.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in htdocs/modules/Hot_Or_Not/rate.php on line 29
Warning: main(): Failed opening 'modules/Hot_Or_Not/h_config.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /htdocs/modules/Hot_Or_Not/rate.php on line 29
You see I reconfigured both FriendFinder module & Hot Or Not to run on phpnuke 7.9 patched and the line:
Code:
if (defined('Hot_Or_Not')) {
require_once("modules/Hot_Or_Not/rate.php");
}
Was added to the mainfile.php right below the Sentinal code for the Hot Or Not rating of pics. This error only appeared when trying to access forums admin. The page was blank except for the error and rating of pics in Hot Or Not stopped working. Friendfinder still works fine.
Strange thing is that the file htdocs/modules/Hot_Or_Not/rate.php does exist.
So ...all in all is working well except Hot Or Not rating of pics. The line, "Your installation is up to date, no updates are available for your version of phpBB" does appear. So that's good!!!
I removed the 'include' in the mainfile.php for htdocs/modules/Hot_Or_Not/rate.php and the error is gone.
So I'm faced with trying to figure out how to get the rating of pics in the hot or not module working. It will not work without that include. Perhaps the placement of the include is the problem. Not Sure.
To answer ChatServ's question - subsilver is the forum theme loaded as the default. I'm using a customized 'deep blue' nuke theme pack that came with the 3.1b patched series, with graphics I customized. Seems to work fine. I haven't checked the gzip setting in the database tables as of yet. I did test changing permissions in the forums and didn't get the gibberish page.
So.... things are really looking UP for 3.2 patched for me except for the legacy Hot Or Not mod which I'll work on. I'd appreciate any ideas you guys would have on that.
