Post not displaying in showthred.php

Hiya

I have a slight problem. The posts are not showing up at all. I have found that it is three lines in the showthread.php file that is causing this.

If I "comment" the lines out (ant move then aside), then the posts show up. However, if they are active, then the posts do not show up at all, only the "post reply" bottuns with a small bar between them.

There are the three lines of code:

//		FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post AS post, ".TABLE_PREFIX."rpg_battle_options, ".TABLE_PREFIX."rpg_items_options
//			user.ma AS uma,user.hp AS uhp,user.pp AS upp,user.ap AS uap,".TABLE_PREFIX."rpg_battle_options.namefield,".TABLE_PREFIX."rpg_battle_options.exprate,".TABLE_PREFIX."rpg_battle_options.privacy AS battleprivacy,".TABLE_PREFIX."rpg_items_user.*,".TABLE_PREFIX."rpg_battle_stats.*,".TABLE_PREFIX."rpg_rpg_race.name AS rpgracename,".TABLE_PREFIX."rpg_rpg_race.alignment AS rpgalignmentname,".TABLE_PREFIX."rpg_rpg_classf.name AS fclassname,
//        	".TABLE_PREFIX."rpg_rpg_classf.folder AS fclassfolder,".TABLE_PREFIX."rpg_rpg_classm.name AS mclassname,".TABLE_PREFIX."rpg_rpg_classm.folder AS mclassfolder,".TABLE_PREFIX."rpg_rpg_element.name AS elename,

What could possibility be wrong?

Please post the whole block (10 line above and under this part)

I have absolutely no clue whatsoever why posts won't show.
Maybe seeing the entire query will help, I dunno.

It is where I am supposed to replace (from the install instructions provided):

	$posts = $DB_site->query("
		SELECT
			post.*, post.username AS postusername, post.ipaddress AS ip,
[......]
		WHERE $postids
		ORDER BY dateline $postorder
	");

with:

	$totalcats = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS countcats FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."rpg_items_cats WHERE type='0'");
	$posts = $DB_site->query("
		SELECT
			post.*, post.username AS postusername, post.ipaddress AS ip,
			user.*, userfield.*, usertextfield.*,
			user.ma AS uma,user.hp AS uhp,user.pp AS upp,user.ap AS uap,".TABLE_PREFIX."rpg_battle_options.namefield,".TABLE_PREFIX."rpg_battle_options.exprate,".TABLE_PREFIX."rpg_battle_options.privacy AS battleprivacy,".TABLE_PREFIX."rpg_items_user.*,".TABLE_PREFIX."rpg_battle_stats.*,".TABLE_PREFIX."rpg_rpg_race.name AS rpgracename,".TABLE_PREFIX."rpg_rpg_race.alignment AS rpgalignmentname,".TABLE_PREFIX."rpg_rpg_classf.name AS fclassname,

	");

The following lines, if taken out, allow everything to work okay. However, if they are left in, they cause the posts to not show up at all.

              FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post AS post, ".TABLE_PREFIX."rpg_battle_options, ".TABLE_PREFIX."rpg_items_options
                      user.ma AS uma,user.hp AS uhp,user.pp AS upp,user.ap AS uap,".TABLE_PREFIX."rpg_battle_options.namefield,".TABLE_PREFIX."rpg_battle_options.exprate,".TABLE_PREFIX."rpg_battle_options.privacy AS battleprivacy,".TABLE_PREFIX."rpg_items_user.*,".TABLE_PREFIX."rpg_battle_stats.*,".TABLE_PREFIX."rpg_rpg_race.name AS rpgracename,".TABLE_PREFIX."rpg_rpg_race.alignment AS rpgalignmentname,".TABLE_PREFIX."rpg_rpg_classf.name AS fclassname,
              ".TABLE_PREFIX."rpg_rpg_classf.folder AS fclassfolder,".TABLE_PREFIX."rpg_rpg_classm.name AS mclassname,".TABLE_PREFIX."rpg_rpg_classm.folder AS mclassfolder,".TABLE_PREFIX."rpg_rpg_element.name AS elename,

I have this same problem, running on 3.0.3

[Revan]

Well Im sorry, I have no idea whatsoever what's causing this.
All I know is that the incomplete v3 Im running on my live board on 3.0.7 works fine, so I guess you will have to either upgrade or wait.... :ermm:

[laeth]

If you upgrade to the newest version of vb, will I have to install all my hacks again? Slightly annoying if you have a load of hacks. heh.

[Revan]

Well you COULD of course reapply all file changes manually, or you could be smart and use a Compare program
Look in the Hints and Tips forum for info on this

Thanks.

[Revan]

No, because I need to be registered to view the lottery.
And like F**K am I registering to a site where I risk having to see anything related to Marilyn Manson
