The most annoying of all YapBB bugs gone for good?

Let me know!

Paul

Hi All,

Just to let people know who, like myself, use the YapBB sessions and =
cookies for their site as a whole, not just their forums, that there is =
an issue with the latest YapBB release.

In the 1.2 Beta, in Login.php the setcookie function read as follows:

setcookie($cfgCookiePrefix . "persistentlogin", md5($sessionUser . =
$sessionPass) . $sessionUserID, 365 * 25 * 60 * 60 + time());

In 1.2 Beta 2 this is now:

setcookie($cfgCookiePrefix . "persistentlogin", md5($sessionUser . =
$sessionPass) . $sessionUserID, 365 * 25 * 60 * 60 + time(), =
$cfgBaseDirectory, $cfgSiteHostName, 0);

This sets the base directory and site host name in the cookie.

So if you set your base directory to '/'  as you must for the cookie to =
apply to the entire site, then cannot delete the cookie when you lot =
out.  So basically, you cannot log out!

The solution is to change this line back to its former self, or at least =
comment out the extra arguments.

I knew I had forgotten something.. :P

Yes, yes, all you folks have probably already noticed that the 2nd beta of
YapBB v1.2 is ready. All problems I've stumbled across (yes, thanks for
everyone who submitted bug reports) are fixed and some other things are
taken care of. Read all about it here:
http://yapbb.sourceforge.net/forum/topicDisplay.php?topicID=289

So, now I'll start working on the user-rights system re-write. I don't know
how long it will take, but I'm sure it'll be a while. :)

See you folks later. (Yes, I'm grabbing my PC and heading for a nice little
rock to work underneath. ;))

When viewing a topic, you can click on the e-mail icon to send an e-mail to
someone else with a description + URL of that topic. You should also be able
to add a personal message to that e-mail.. However, a bug in the template
file prevents that. The personal message is simply not attached.

How can a template file impact this? To put it simple, I forgot to include a
hidden field in the form which is to direct the program flow when processing
the submitted form. Because of the absence of this hidden field (with the
topicID value), the wrong action was taken.

I've already taken care of this bug now, but now I'm also experimenting with
a new SMTP mailer class. This is to (optionally) replace PHP's mail
function. This function seems return an unreliable value on some systems, so
that's why I'm looking into this alternative.

Besides this, it seems that mail.php makes 2 calls to _sendEmail(). This
function does not exist, as it is named _sendMail(). :) But because of the
problem described above (wrong program flow), this problem would not
surface.

Along with some other minor changes I've made since the release last
weekend, I think I can release 1.2a (or something like that ;)) pretty soon.
It won't require much testing because the release is mainly focussed on
bugfixes and small code changes.

Well.. there's one new and rather nice feature.. You'll have to make less
'difficult' configuration changes. $cfgBaseDirectory may be left empty (this
will require a bit of testing though) and $cfgDocumentRoot now auto-detects
its correct value. :) I really don't know why I didn't implemented this
before, as it seems like almost 50% of the questions on the demo forum and
in my e-mail is about configuring YapBB. Oh wel...

As Jason mentions here
http://yapbb.sourceforge.net/forum/topicDisplay.php?topicID=259 , there's a
problem with posting announcements. However, I've already fixed the problem,
but I simply forgot to inform this Dev-list... <D'OH!>

So, just download the release zip ( http://yapbb.sf.net/yapbb ) and replace
your existing files with the files in that zip (there's no need to 'upgrade'
your current v1.2 system, just replacing the old files will do).

Arno

All fine thanks Arno.  See www.mini2.com/gallery/personal for the early
results.  We will have 'proper' thumbnails soon, but the server (using
Plesk) doesn't support the required PHP things (technical term) to do this
yet.

As I mentioned here
http://yapbb.sourceforge.net/forum/topicDisplay.php?topicID=247 , this is
probably due to the fact that v1.2 now specifically 'targets' cookies
(including the session cookies) to the forum directory only. They are
nolonger valid for the entire domain (which is the '/' directory).

The reason why I did this, was to improve support for multiple YapBB's on a
single domain.

But the sollution is also mentioned in that topic. :) Hope this works out
for you Paul! If not, let me know and we'll work this problem out.

Arno

About time too, what took you so long!?  ;-)

YapBB v1.2 is released.
http://yapbb.sourceforge.net/forum/topicDisplay.php?topicID=248

Need I say more? :)

Arno

Hello All,  Arno,

As Arno is aware, we are trying to integrate YapBB into our site, using the
users etc.  This is so a forum member can also have access to features such
as our personal gallery.

Casey, who runs the site with me, had this fully functional with YapBB
v.1.1.  You logged in via the forum login, which then returned you to our
gallery, then you could use that.  However since moving to the new version
the gallery script is no longer compatible, can someone (Arno) help by
letting us know what has changed with regards to sessions, sessionID's etc.
Because information that was being passes before is obviously now either not
being passes, or passed in a different way.

Thanks in advance,

Paul

Well, they were a bit scwewy (I had to edit the e-mail's source), but I got
them.

They look great Paul, thanks! That's the 2nd time you've done some work on
the images.. :) They will be included in the final zip.

Arno

PS: If you (yes, that's you, everybody ;)) go here:
http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/yapbb-development and edit your
options (enter your e-mail address in the last input field and press 'Edit
Options'), you will be able to select 'MIME' in stead of 'Plain Text'. I
think that should help in case you have selected 'digests'.

Following on from my tidied smilies, I have now sorted out the scruffy edges
on the 'on' and 'off' gif images.  Please include these in the finished zip
arno, they look 100 times better on a dark backround, and better also on a
light background.

I hope they are attached to this email?

Paul
www.mini2.com

Excellent, Paul's search_index problems are over :) and Paul is now sending
e-mails to this list only instead of to me as well. ;)

Alright, one thing left: how is the members.php thingie working Paul? Just
perfectly, eh? :)
http://www.mini2.com/forum/members.php?action=member&range=P

Oh, you might want to replace the config.php in your template directory with
the one in the YapBB v1.2 zip. There are some newly translated items in that
file that are missing on your board. Compare:

http://www.mini2.com/forum/members.php?action=member&range=P
http://yapbb.sourceforge.net/forum/members.php?action=member&range=P

Look for "Users found(All nicknames beginning with P)". You will see that on
your page, there's only a space in front of the 'P'. This is because the
config.php in your template's directory is still an old one.

Just a small tip. :)

Arno

OK, added the line and all is now fine.

Woo-hoo

:-)

I do not have that line in the latest zipped config.inc.php.  I am using the
one you sent attached to an email on July 7th.

I will add the line and try again.

Thanks a lot Paul, this helps me out more. :)

It seems you have a missing entry in 'config.inc.php'. I encourage you to
use the config.inc.php in the v1.2 zip and put it in your YapBB directory.
Of cours this will require you to reconfigure it, but this will make sure
all required variables have a valid value.

Specifically, you seem to lack an entry like this in your config.inc.php:

$cfgDatabase['search_index'] = 'forum_search_index';

Of course this goes in the list already present in the config file.

This may also explain why the upgrade script failed.

As you may or may not have noticed, I have made some slight alterations to
the default templates. For instance, on the demo forum, on each page the
'forum hopper' is now also available on the upper part of all pages, while a
'navigation-interface' has been added to the bottom of those pages.

Also, when viewing a thread, the small buttons (print, next, prev, e-mail)
on the bottom of the page are now also available on the upper part of that
page.

I have not bothered to keep you guys informed about this, since these tweaks
are simple appearance matters and do not concern the underlying code. :)
However, I did want to mention this, hence this notice.

Of course these changes will be available in v1.2 final.

Firstly, glad to see the post.php problem is definitely solved. :)

Alright, hmm.. Maybe you should try to re-download members.php? The
error-message you included says that output already started on line 4 (in
members.php), but there's no such thing as an output statement on that line.

It just seems pretty vague to me. To be honest, almost seems like a
self-resolving problem. Don't really know why. ;) Let me know what happened.

By the way Paul, there's no need to send me any e-mails individually. :)
Just replying to the dev-list will suffice as I'm subscribed also. ;)

Arno

I'll include a notice somewhere to make sure people do not forget to check
the 'tmp' directory is world-writable (or PHP-writable anyway). :)

I'm sorry.. but I can't really tell what's wrong from this description.
However, if it is what I think it is, there really isn't much of a problem.
;)

What I think is that filling the keyword table was the procedure that went
wrong. You may have used an old version of the upgrade script (which in fact
causes the same problem you experienced on your local machine a while ago).

Like I said, this really isn't a biggy. I've made certain that this
procedure is the last in line, so that in case anything would go wrong, it
wouldn't affect the rest of the upgrade script. Just delete it from your
webserver and you're set.

Now, to fill in the keyword table (named something like 'search_index'), you
can use the control panel in the admin section. You'll find a link on the
left side that reads "Manually update YapBB's search index". There's also a
PHP script you can use with a cron job to automatically perform this
procedure every night or so. Just look in the 'tools' directory in the v1.2
zip. More info about cron: http://www.ntua.gr/cgi-bin/man-cgi?crontab

However, since I still assume you have used an older version of the upgrade
script, you'll need to manually change some fields in your forum tables. Use
these queries:

ALTER TABLE session_table CHANGE id id CHAR (32) not null
ALTER TABLE user_vars_table CHANGE session session VARCHAR (32) not null
(replace the table names with the actual names)

In the 'session' table, the 'id' field is now a CHAR(32) (was CHAR(20)) and
in the 'user_vars' table, the 'session' field is now a VARCHAR(32) (was
VARCHAR(20)).

Hope This Helps
