avatar error is only when using a av uploaded via admin cp. using your own uploaded from pc via user cp shows up.

Thats the same error i get when i switch the way my forum handles "read posts" etc? when i switch from cookie to database thats the error i get

bill: have you been able to nail this problem yet? cause i still want to switch to database on my forum, and this is preventing me from doing such ;(

I have removed the database error by removeing the the part of code that outputs the new posts.

hey, iv installed this and it all looks ok, expecpt from when i actually type in my login details, it tells me that i entered wrong details.... but i havent. and oddly enough the failed login attempts stays at 0 of 5 attemps, every time i try to login.. any ideas?

I see you have a user ID that is just plain weird.
u=1.1

I will see if I can replicate it on mine and go from there.

Not yet, but to be honest I havent spent much time looking at it.
Ive been working on another hack. Sorry :(

I cant see what is why that SQL statement throws up that error, but I think I can approach this problem from another angle with a bit of a rewrite.
No timeframe, but it will be quite soon, Ive nearly finished the other project.

Sounds like a cookie problem maybe.
Have you tried doing the troubleshooting in post 2 of this thread yet?

hey there, yeah i have. I changed the settings in admin panel, but then it wouldnt let me log out at all.

its odd, if i log in from the forums, it works fine, its just when i login from outside the forum, i had this working like a week ago, but i changed my site design and reinstalled this hack, and now it just doesnt seem to want to work..

i have everything set up and the login code does work and it shows me as logged in, but only if i login from the forum.

just tried it again this morning on a different pc, and it takes me to the wrong username and password page..any ideas?

hi sorry to post twice - i did that tesp.php page you suggested in the troubleshooting part...it logged me in fine...no errors and it worked.

but where i actually want it to work, it doesnt.

heres my site code details :

I have an included header in all content pages so the top part of the site is the same on all pages, in that header file i have the login_inc code.

but i have no other php code or anything to do with cookies at all in my header file..its just html and then this vb simple login stuff.

im confused as to why its working with the test page, but not where i want it to work..

Wicked bill, ill wait for that option :) thanks a lot!!

...ignore me...i had to mess about with file includes and requires etc, got it working now though. thanks!

Hi,
Thanks for this great mod! Really helped me out.

Coupla things:

Is there any solution to IE expecting a '(' and showing 'done but with errors' yet??

Also I'm using the login box not only on my non-forum pages, but within my forum template too. Works great, apart from the private messages - doesn't show whether you've got any or not. Any idea what might be causing this? I'm guessing I don't have to include global because it is a forum page so must already have it allowed.

Also, when I logout in a forum page, the login_inc ends up a step behind. eg. I logout but login_inc shows me as still signed in til I refresh.

Any help with these minor quirks would be great!

Thanks

It doesn't work with files in different directories. I'm using a header file, where the global.php include comes in. I use the header file throughout my site. However, I get an error similar to erinys (page 2):

(thats his error code) This is using the chdir() function. Is there another way to get the global.php (and the include inside of it) to work properly throughout various directories without having to go through each file and changing it manually?

Ok so I have a quick question if a user is banned on the forums is there a way to carry over so they cant see whats on the page we put this login on?

I have got the error

Does anyone know how to fix it

Sure can. :)
Have a look at the usage guide on post 2 of the first page.
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....49&postcount=2
Just change the conditionals in the example to suit.

I havent been able to replicate this.

Anyone else getting this error?

NEW UPDATE
Version 2.1 has been released to fix 2 reported issues.
It is recommened to update.

The current login_inc.php here is the revised version.

Changelog

Version 2.10 (4th June 2006)

• Fixed - "MySQL Error : Invalid SQL " when using Database thread/forum marking.
• Fixed - Javascrip error in some versions of IE.

Only get the error when using Pre-defined Avatars that are saved in the database, output of Custom Avatars works fine :)

BTW could you add the following.

1) output of total members.
2) output of the newest member.
3) output of user joined date.
4) output of user age.

I tryed adding echo "<b>$vbphrase[age]:</b> $post[age]<br />"; for the age put it only put out the phrase.

Ah hah! I was getting this error and had no idea where it was coming from or what was causing it. I posted questions over at vb.com and they suggested it was probably caused by a hack or mod, but I had no way of knowing which one. I will try upgrading later today and hopefully it will fix this problem.

Thanks for the update.

Hi again,

Thanks for the latest update - nice to see that it loads without errors in ie now!

I still have the minor issue that where I've used the login_inc on actual forum pages everything works great except for pm's aren't displayed. Any idea what could be causing this? This doesn't happen on non forum pages, login_inc works perfectly.

The other issue I'm having is that when you click logout it shows that you're still logged in until you do a second refresh of the page. Anything that can be done to sort this?

Thanks.

Thanks a lot bill for the update!
Its working perfectly as far as i can see ;)

Ive only used this on non forum pages.
I cant really see the point of having it in the actual forums, it seems redundant having it there.
I think thats more browser dependant than anything.
Ive noticed that sort of behaviour in (either Opera or Firefox) but IE was fine.
You are still logged out either way, if you try and go somewhere that requires you to be logged in you will see this.

I know what you mean that it seems redundant, but I'm using the login in the header of the site that is also there when I go to the forum.
My client has requested that I continue the login in the header throughout the site, including forum pages.

I also use vBa CMPS and have the same problem on the pages making use of it.

Now do you see why I want to use it on the forum pages?

As for the other issue, I agree that it's browser dependant and doesn't really matter. My client pulled me up on it that's all, but it doesn't really matter.

OK, makes more sense now :)

Off hand I dont know why it just does not show PM's on those pages.
I have a couple of suspicions and will have a look.

Confirmed working on vB 3.6 Beta 1
:D

I get this message above when I dont put in the chdir code.

I tried putting in the chdir lines but then I get a "headers already sent" fatal error. I checked for white space above the line as suggested and there is none. The paths I am using are correct. (When they were not, I was getting a file not found error)

Here is the message about headers:


Any ideas? I'm using vb 3.5.4

UPDATE: NEVER MIND! FOUND PROBLEM:
I was using include
instead of require_once when calling the login script....
Apparently thats a no-no.....

Yes if you include a file twice it can cause all sorts of problems.
Using require_once like I have in the instructions prevents this problem from happening.

Hey,

I managed to install this mod successfully, but i have a problem with the avatars.

I get the following error

The avatars are in a folder called "customavatars".

Thanks!

p.s. is it possible to add the amount of members on the forum also in the stats part?

Did you change any setting in the vB admin CP so that it will get the avatars from that folder?
Maybe.
I will have a look and see how currently active users are done.

Nope, the only thing i did was have the avatars move from being uploaded into the database and had them moved to a custom directory, nothing changed other than that.

Hello. Please please help. I put it on a page. When I login, it shows the forum message that I am logged in but then again takes me to the same page without being logged in. I have already set the Path to Cookies -> Suggested Settings to / and tried vice versa also and tried firefox and opera but still gives the same problem. Awaiting your kind reply.

Ive been playing round with my test forums and I cant replicate this problem.

Anyone else experience this?

every now and then after reloading the page i get the message:

Unable to add cookies, header already sent.

this stops to i close the and then reopen then its fine again.

im guessing its a prob with my site coding.

Great mod. I have finally integrated this fully with eqdkp and vb! :)

Please please help me, im a newbie :(

My forum is here: www.hiven.net/forum
My test.php file is here: www.hiven.net/test.php

Im getting this error:
Here is the contents of my test.php file:

Here is the forum path in my login_inc


Many thanks for any help you can give!

try using the full path eg:

<?php
chdir('/home/****/public_html/');
require_once('/home/****/public_html/global.php');
require_once('/home/****/public_html/test/login_inc.php');
?>

I love you!

It worked, im uber happy now, thank you :banana:

Just wondering if this has been thought of/fixed. I've experienced this same issue and for the time being simply removed the avatar code to get rid of the blank image IE users are receiving.

Besides that little issue though this is a great mod, makes my life much easier :).

Not fixed as of yet.
I will post here if/when I come up with a work around.
