Forum Display
 

Hello everybody.

I have a problem in my forum. In error I placed a script in the forum & administrators.

I edited the forum and went to the Team Leader forum and copied the wrong text in the Title of the forum... The incorrect text starts at<SCRIPT.... and ends at <br/> and users belonging to the team leaders group are unable to view the forums.

<a href="forumdisplay.php?f=9"><font color="#FF0000"><SCRIPT language="JavaScript"> var scolor='FFFF00'; var a_speed='3'; var shimm</a>
<br /><div class="smallfont">Team leader Area</div>

How can I fix this? please someone help me :) Thank you in advance

Well, I don't know what's supposed to be there, but I'd start by replacing everything between (and including) "<SCRIPT" and "var shimm", with some text (like the name of the forum). If you remove everything up to <br /> then you take away the </a> which you need.

The text "Team Leader Lounge" was there. The thing is that in the admincp
i can no longe see the forums that are below the one displayed here..

Is there a way via SQL to amend the table?

Oh - I see now what you mean.

I think the table is "forum" (prefixed by whatever your TABLE_PREFIX is set to), and it looks like that's forum 9. So you could try "SELECT * from forum WHERE forumid=9" and see if that looks like the record with the error.

I will be trying this and will give you feed back :) thank you for your assistance

Unfortunately this did not resolve the problem.

I have even tried to amend the order of this forum to be at the bottom (last) but it still does not rectify the problem.

Any other suggestion?

*Exactly* what did you try that didn't resolve the problem? If you don't tell us exactly what you did, then we can't tell if you just did it wrong.

I amended the title and the title_clean for forum=9 to read Team Leader.

It is as if when a member that had access to this forum (and the child forums) can no longer view the forums that are equal or greater than '9'.

Could I amend the forumid to read 300?

After you change something like that directly in the database, you need to rebuild the forum list. Go to edit another forum and just hit Save.

Lynne Thank you so much!!

Problem has been resolved! You are super :) :)
