Topic: punBB doesn't show updated Forums

My database, MySQL, has been updated with the correct forum names via the punBB Admin pages... but when I navigate to the main page, index.php, it shows no updates at all.  I still have the default forum called "Forum"

Re: punBB doesn't show updated Forums

That's odd. It isn't just a caching issue right? You've tried refreshing the page?

Could we get an URL to test it out ourselves?

Re: punBB doesn't show updated Forums

No it is not a caching issue.  I have refreshed and it does not help.  Just so you know everything I am doing:

I am iframing punBB... here is my temporary url... select "Forum"
http://colemans.homeip.net/christiantrailrider

config.php looks like this:

<?php

$db_type = 'mysql';
$db_host = 'localhost';
$db_name = '******';
$db_username = '******';
$db_password = '******';
$db_prefix = 'punbb_';
$p_connect = true;

$cookie_name = 'punbb_cookie';
$cookie_domain = '';
$cookie_path = '/';
$cookie_secure = 0;

$language = 'en';

define('PUN', 1);

?>

In forum/admin_options.php I have entered the following for "Base URL":

http://colemans.homeip.net/christiantrailrider/forum

I go into MySQL and all my modifications are there.  HELP!

Re: punBB doesn't show updated Forums

So what you're telling me is that if you navigate to admin_forums.php, you see a list of forums you've created, but if you look at index.php, you see a different list or just the default forum?

That is what I am saying!  I see a list of forums I've created in admin_forums.php and the default forum in index.php.  For some unknown reason index.php is not updating... hopefully it's not something that I did!

I'm gonna have to see that with my own eyes before I believe it :D

I've registered in your forums. Could you make me a temporary admin so I can have a look in admin_forums.php?

Rickard, you're admin.  Thanks so much for taking the time to help me.  And by the way I am VERY impressed at what you are doing at your age.  You'll be running places like Sun Microsystems by the time you're 30 smile

Re: punBB doesn't show updated Forums

I just had a look in your admin interface and you only have one forum. You have created a few categories, but there's only one forum. A category is only displayed on the index page if it contains any forums.
