[ Closed ] PunBB 1.2.17 (Page 2 of 3)

$cookie_seed. Add some extra, random, alphanumeric characters to that string.

SuperMAG,

For example you have this line in your config.php:

$cookie_seed = 'xxxxxxxx';

Then replace it with something like this:

$cookie_seed = 'xxxxxxxx275be39a';

or this:

$cookie_seed = '275be39axxxxxxxx';

or this:

$cookie_seed = '275be39fewqhf342qw4132oh423fdiuqwha';

or this:

$cookie_seed = '21212121dsafasxxxxxxxxfdsffafa3123123';

I hope it's clear now.

Thanks guys for the update!

Something odd I nnoticed with this new update.
I have 1.2.16 installed so I just downloaded the modified files.

If I overwrite my login.php with the new one, I can't logout >.>  Clicking it simply refreshes the page or something of the sort.

My logout button goes through login.php?action=out&id=2 (my id)

But could it be that this mod causing issues with the new update: http://www.punres.org/desc.php?pid=438 ?

Congratulations!

(1) Is it possible to get a step by step tutorial about the exact code changes in the changed files from 1.2.16 so that I can do them manually. These changed files on My PunBB have been modded so I have to do the changes manually.

(2) Also, my mods have added some extra tables in the mysql database. Will the db upgrader script keep those while upgrading the 1.2.16 db to 1.2.17 or remove them?

(3) I don't mind if the version number remains as 1.2.16. Are there any other bug fixes in the db upgrader script? Can I leave out the db upgradation? Thanks.

Regarding hdiff, in include/common.php, you added a test :

if (version_compare(PHP_VERSION, '4.2.0', '<'))

Ok.
But in the next file (of the hdiff), include/functions.php, u use a function (sha1) which is ONLY AVAILABLE in PHP 4.3.0 and sup. (dixit manual).
What's the logical out there ?
(note: and sha1 is used in install.php whereas a strict test is done at beginning of the same file for assuring we're using at least 4.1 version, not 4.3).

I know future 1.3 will require at least PHP 4.3, but was thinking this applies ONLY to 1.3 branch.
So :
- is this a mistake ?
- or has this "1.2.17 update" raised the requirements for 1.2 branch ? (and in this case, u should mention it on the changelog, and modify the initial test in install.php)

Thanks. Is it ok if I just make the changes in the files without upgrading the database by running the db upgrader script? Or can I please know only the specific db query which has to be run for upgrading from 1.2.16 to 1.2.17?

My mods have added some extra tables in the mysql database. Will the db upgrader script keep those while upgrading the 1.2.16 db to 1.2.17 or remove them?

The update script will not remove extra tables.

Talk to the MegaPun people, that's not a PunBB problem

...which is something the MegaPun developers can deal with, not us. We're not familiar with the modification, whereas they are. Therefore, if something with it breaks, they're the ones who need to figure out why.

erased messages? I don't know what that means, it's not possible that updating the forum would do that.
As for double login, I usually see that in sites that are accessible both with and without the www., like yours is. You can either redirect all traffic to one of the two or set $cookie_domain in config.php to .forocure.com.ar
