It is started to install this hack on my database a ways back and never used it.

I installed the new getforumview.php and it is still showing the forumhome tables expanded.

Now this may be a bit unreadable because the code is in beta but here is one of the forumhome tables...keep in mind I am using the Template_options. hack too that adds the "Forum...Posts...Thread...Last Post" to each main section.

The html looks roughly correct.

When you look at the raw user table in say phpmyadmin does the "forumviewset" column for your? userid have a entry like "57|1:" if it doesn't please try this debugging version of getforumview.php which will output details to help in cureing this bug.

The numbers in "forumviewset" look like this: 59|:192|:

I ran the debugging getforumview.php and ran updateindex.php manually and it output this:

65Array ( [59] => [192] => ) done

However, it did not set any value to "forumviewset" so now it is blank.

I'm having similar problems to Virtuetech on my board at http://www.shadowedsoul.com/forums.

The interesting thing to me is the hack works perfectly after following along with all the updates to files you've given as of now for 4.2.0 installs when Im not logged in. As soon as I log in I start getting page errors like this when I try to expand or contract.

Line: 563
Char: 1
Error: Object expected
Code: 0
URL: http://www.shadowedsoul.com/forums/index.php?s=<sessionID>

When I manually call

/updateindex.php?fid=6&val=0

and

/updateindex.php?fid=6&val=1

the hack works properly, it just doesnt work when Im trying to click my expand and contract buttons.

It didn't work for me...

Can you supply me with the mysql code that will undo the changes that were made to the database with the cx_install.php file?

That error idicates that the javascript is not being included. Compare the source output of logged in and not logged in to check that is in both cases.


I am aware of some problems still lingering with this hack and php 4.2.x so will be releasing a new version of the complete hack by the end of the week to correct these issues.

Henry-RS:
The SQL is
ALTER TABLE forum DROP collapsed
ALTER TABLE user DROP forumviewset

Thanks Dabean....I'll be anxiously awaiting your next post

Yep looking at the two sources the javascript is in one but not the other which is interesting since I thought they would both generate off the same templates and php files.

EDIT: Figured out my problem. I slipped up and put my code above the } in the

addition to index.php. Thanks for the lead that helped me track this down.

Updated the zip to include PHP 4.1.x and 4.2.x support.
Also tested this new version on vb2.2.6.

This hack can now safely be used with register globals turned off and has been tested accordingly.

To update from a older version just upload the new files. updateindex.php, getbrowser.php and getforumview.php.

There is no need to re-run the installer, however the installer can now remove the database changes.

Test configurations where
- Apache 1.3.23 + PHP 4.2.0 (freebsd)
- Apache 1.3.17 + PHP 4.1.1 (redhat7)
- IIS5.1 + PHP 4.2.1 (winxp)
