they can be if you use the hdiff when upgrading ... easy interface, that shows where new rows are and where you replace, and where to remove rows ... it's really easy to upgrade through it smile

there's one difference, the code tag can be used for more than just code ... I'm using it to format some tables with data in columns (for F1, practise sessions and times and such) ... as it's fixed with it's easier to read data out of it, othervise one would probably need to attach images or something to show data in table format ...

I've now created a small installation guide. To help people getting started and shows how you need to setup the forum ... you can find it here http://frankh.shacknet.nu/index.php?section=15 ... the layout on that CMS is still default ... but I'm populating it with more and more stuff, and thought I'd tell that I've written the Installation Guide ... (looks like I'm going to stay with this CMS, tried nucleus, but hadn't the features I wanted, looked at mambo, didn't like it, xoops had an awful admin interface ... but this one is simple to use, and has the stuff I need)

savas: have you copied the .htaccess and index.html file into the "attachments" directory?

easier to find problems through email aswell, so mail me at the adress shown below in my signature (or use the mailform) if you still have trouble (that is, if you have those files there, or it still doesn't work)

You can get a gif under the avatar if you use my Image Awards Mod, you'd have to add it manually though ... (a banned award actually is in the mod, ready to assign wink) ... would probably be quite easy to mod moderate.php (or what file it is that handles the banning query to the database) to auto assign the "Banned" award...

there's stuff you can put in the loop to update/keepalive the giu in windows ... I used it when I did some C# stuff ... just that I've forgotten what the commands were (and I also think a 1ms sleep in the loop will make other programs get time aswell)

I upgraded my forums manually (had 4-5 mods, Attachment mod, Image Awards, Easy BBCode and some other small ones) ... and it worked fine, just that the Attachment mod gets affected alittle by the Changeset 172, that's now included in 1.2.6 .... other than that I think it was just some rownumbers that was different (and that I already had added some changesets since 1.2.5...

So with the hdiff it's not that hard, it was a bunch of files, but didn't take that long to upgrade ... (I like the hdiff upgrade method ... as I'm in control, not some script big_smile)

and if you've done backups ... you're always able to go back if something gets borked off totally ...

Have you set the rules for normal users? (administrators override all rulechecks, except max size that's defined in "Alter Settings")


in the Admin plugin for the attachment mod, click "List Rules", and then add rules for guests, moderators and members (and any other groups you have)

also while you're in there, also look in "Alter Settings" to see that you don't have the default 2000 bytes limit on attachments ... (better do this before settting the rules, as the rules cannot have larger values than this max allowed size ... it's described how to know this value in the Documentation chapter 1.6)

also, remember 'ownership' is different in different languages ... so that if-statement will look different in other languages ...

the install_mod.php haven't run successfully ... it should have given an error when you ran it ...

in the attachments directory, do you find any randomly lettered subdirectories?

Good to hear you managed to sort it out ... you could probably ask your host to set the chmod and owners on the subfolders to what you figured out worked.

I guess it's a PHP ini setting that's limiting the phpscript from setting a 777 directory ... but at least with 755 it's still possible to download fiels for backup ...

I knew when I 'left database storage' that these kind of things would come ... and so far, two (If I recall correctly) people has needed to alter the attach_func.php file (and also install_mod.php and upgrade has a 750 setting in there) ... luckily not that many more wink


oh, and you should probably edit out the images, as you have the foldernames visible (makes it a tad easier to bruteforce if you show the foldernames, only need to bruteforce the filenames)

hmm ... I suppose your useraccount is not in the same group as the webserver is running ... so you should perhaps need 777 or something (same as the img/avatars if that one works) to be able to fiddle with everything ... to do that, open up include/attach/attach_func.php and replace 750 (search for it) with 777 (or what you want instead) ... if you create a new subfolder, then that new one should have 777 instead (and all new attachments will be stored there)

yep, it's like that to force people to set the size according to their server (as it will be different on many servers, and if I set a higher default value, then it's a possibility people not checking this, will get 'odd errors' where some files upload, but not all (i.e. those beeing bigger than the server accepts, gets lost)

so ... that's why it's only 2000 bytes smile

have you set the max allowed size described in chapter 1.6 in the documentation?

sedan är det nog ett bra tips att uppdatera till senaste versionen, då Rickard fixat en del säkerhetsgrejor ...

It's as a sticky at the troubleshooting forum
http://punbb.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=2658

(most likely) your modifications in viewtopic.php wasn't done correctly ...

recheck that step 43 & 44 is done ... (and if you have added the changesets Rickard told about, then this query looks a little different, but you need to alter the true to false in that row ... )

(hmm ... could be some other stuff aswell ... so mail me if it doesn't work, easier to bughunt through email)

You could probably modify my "Image Award Mod" to solve your needs, just put the 'output' on the place where you want it, and remove the no image stuff so it won't mess up everything  ...

And then make a forum only that group can read on ... where you have a post telling them that their new account is needed to be approved by an admin
