Just figured out what it was and fixed it. It's an issue with the foreach loops that pulls the usergroup and location data. It doesn't clear out the temp array between loops, so it repeats the information from the preceding loops.

The database appears to be fine, although it was causing odd looping issues for me which I can't explain, but either way it works just fine for me now!

To fix it, you'll need to edit admincp\force_read_thread.php.

FIND:

Code:

print_cells_row($cell);

AFTER add:

Code:

                unset($usergroups);

                unset($forums);

Am I missing something - a setting maybe? I've had this installed for a few months and used it for the first time today, but I'm having a problem with it.

It all appeared to work fine, but it keeps telling people to read the thread over and over, instead of only asking people once.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Try my fix right above your post. Fixed the problem for me, although it really shouldn't have.

:up: Thank you!!

I've been using this one from a long time and I can confirm it works perfectly on 3.8.4

But are you sure this one can work good on 4.0 ? That would be great !!

Same here - this works on 4.0.1

Is there an update for 3.8 at all?

The option of force read does not appear in Threads & Post tab in ACP

I take that back - I had to disable it - it works 100% fine on the forum, but it makes the CMS have a "white page" error.

I hope someone takes this on for 4.0.X - it's a valuable tool for us and we really miss it.

Edit: Here's what shows (anonymized) in the error log when this plugin is enabled in 4.0.1 and you try to access the main content.php page if it helps at all:

[Sat Feb 13 11:43:37 2010] [error] [client xx.xx.xx.xx] PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function query_first() on a non-object in /path/to/my/site/htdocs/forums/packages/vbcms/controller/content.php(256) : eval()'d code on line 61

Hello
Can you update this mod to VBB 4.x?
Thanks you!

Supramania

02-21-2010 05:43 AM

Guys, if you look at everything in Abe's sig, everything he's done is version 3.

I suspect he's not running 4 on his board - once he does I'm sure we'll get a 4.x version.

This need to be ported to 3.8.x right ?

Supramania

02-25-2010 02:10 AM

It ran fine on 3.8 for me. I need one that works on 4.0.2pl1

Anyone using it on 4.0.2. pl 1 and getting it working ?

We run the vBulletin V 3.7.3 together with "Force a user to read a thread" V2.0

I can't find any possibilty in the ACP for editing the text of the announcement. This is really needed because we run a German forum and users need to understand the content.

Any useful hint is welcome. TXS in advance.

- <![CDATA[

It cracks down vBCMS when it's on. On forums works fine.

The blog does work but it DOES NOT work with CMS.

The built in CMS? Do you mean it doesn't function? I actually like that it doesn't execute on the front page.

Or are you saying you get the CMS white screen error?

If so, you might want to try disabling all of your mods except this one, and then start turning them on one at a time until your CMS fails. If you're getting the white screen it's likely an incompatibility with another modification.

It works on my system with all 5 of my themes and the 37 other mods I have installed on my site.

Like I said above, try disabling your other mods. It's likely a conflict with another mod on your site.

Nothing special.

You might have skipped over where I said that it only crashes when I enable the Force Read mod. I believe the issue is that I'm not 4.0.2 yet. We just did a host migration and apparently I updated the old host site...doing now to test on the live server.

Ah, ok in this case I'm sure that's it. On 4.0.1 I had problems. 4.0.2 fixed it.

However what I was saying is valid - in many cases I've found that it's two mods combined that cause a problem. In this case that's not it, but keep it in mind. I'm running a lot of mods plus a bunch of custom code - how things fit together in this 4 series isn't always intuitive or obvious.

Due to the SQL injection exploits in 4.0.1, you really need 4.0.2pl1 anyway.
