great hack!! :up:Ty very much Cyb.

I have a question, If you Expand the vision eg using .../forum/admincp/options.php?expand=1 (I am using the vB default theme for admincp) there would be some hidden text (working link). Is this to be fixed or is something wrong with my install?

Note : This isue is seen also for Cyb - Advanced Forum Statistics

take care

ciao

Dude, that's not possible ... It must be that you have some Usergroup Permissions set wrong ... Go into the your Usergroup Options in AdminCP and make sure you have "Can See Deletion Notices" under "Forum Viewing Permissions" set to No for each usergroup you dont want to see the Soft Deleted Posts

Dotara · #**143** 07-04-2007, 05:33 PM

Hello,

I don't have

PHP Code:


			
$vbphrase[user_options]</a></td>

on "MEMBERINFO" template. Also auto replace is not working for member profile. What should I do?

Dotara · #**144** 07-04-2007, 05:46 PM

Okay fixed it.

After

PHP Code:


			
       <td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="infraction.php?$session[sessionurl]do=report&amp;u=$userinfo[userid]">$vbphrase[give_infraction]</a></td>
    </if>

I put

PHP Code:


			
$cyb_ltoua_link_mi

It's working now fine. Thoug I didn't find

PHP Code:


			
$vbphrase[user_options]</a></td>

If I want to login to user account I'm getting logged out instead of redirected to user's account.

All settings correctly set, cookies enabled.
Version: 3.6.7 PL1

This is known bug.

User ID is not detected if you access user profile through last post info.

Open user profile directly (member.php?u=[userid]), than click "Login As", and you will not experience such problems.

captainslater · #**148** 07-10-2007, 02:16 PM

I did exactly what you wrote and the error appears too.

edit: I can reduce this to IE 6, it works with latest FF and IE 7

Valter · #**149** 07-10-2007, 03:49 PM

Then check cookie settings in IE6.

And clear existing cookies set by your forum.
