Hacks not updating
 

I changed a hack so that an automated post that was made had new information. Its done via a php file and pulled in.

It seems the update I have done isnt working yet. When I check the file via FTP its different than whats being displayed in the forum.

Is there someting I need to do to make the forum update this file?

The only thing I can think of is that we use a cache for php files, so when something is changed the cache needs to be flushed.

ok ill try that, thanks :)

sorry if i sound thick, i flushed the post cache? But it seemed not to do anything. Am I dong the riht thing? I searched google for flushing the cache, but didnt really get any help from google.

Maybe a link to the hack or some more information on it would help :)

I cannot do a direct link, but I can send you the file if you like?

Sure but if you do please be aware that i may post it of excerpts of it here so that folk can help you (us :)) sort out your issue :)

PM me for email address

Well, you may not have the kind of cache I was talking about, it was just an idea. You'd probably already know about it if you did.

But when you change the script that auto-posts you're not expecting the existing posts to change, right?

nopes, its the new posts that arent changing.

Im happy for the code to be put in here ill send both pieces.

Ill warn you its a mess, it was programmed by someone who didnt have a clue... I only took the website over in December.

@kh99, im looking at the files and its only text that has changed in $bodytext, i think the file isn't being uploaded to the correct place which is why it's assumed it isn't working :)

I didn't ask for the files. But that sounds like a good possibility - we all do that on occasion.
