A_Jelly_Donut!!!!! =P hi thanks for the help yesterday

Hello

Hi

Hi all, I’m curious how i can de-activate user registration (2.0.22)

http://www.phpbbhacks.com/searchresults.php?query=disable+registration&search_type=1

you can add an * to the disallowed names list which will prevent anyone else signing up, or the proper way would to install a mod such as registration stopper

hey

http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=313879

Thanks i think i’ll do the * method, mods scare me :p

I get some Error when I upload a image ? move_uploaded_file(./images/avatars/137044390546efcaebe15f2.jpg) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /usr/home/web/wse214717/includes/usercp_avatar.php on line 288 move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: Unable to move ‘/var/tmp/php6vja6b’ to ‘./images/avatars/137044390546efcaebe15f2.jpg’ in /usr/home/web/wse214717/includes/usercp_avatar.php on line 288 Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /usr/home/web/wse214717/includes/usercp_avatar.php:288) in /usr/home/web/wse214717/includes/page_header.php on line 483 Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /usr/home/web/wse214717/includes/usercp_avatar.php:288) in /usr/home/web/wse214717/includes/page_header.php on line 485 Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /usr/home/web/wse214717/includes/usercp_avatar.php:288) in /usr/home/web/wse214717/includes/page_header.php on line 486

installing mods from phpBB hacks is not advised as their mods are not validated by phpBB.coms mod team Ye^: chmod the avatar directory to 777

Ye^: you’ve fogot to CHMOD the folder images/avatar/ hmpf…too slow ;-)

and how do I do that ?

Ye^: http://www.phpbb.com/kb/article/chmod-permissions/

Ok.

karlsemple wouldnt adding a * to the disallow names list ban everyone currently registed?

just one question on what should I do this on ? on wich file ?

Ye^: the whole avatar folder

Ok.

no it will not ban users

hmmm I got some more Error move_uploaded_file(./images/avatars/185302059746efcd65cba94.jpg) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /usr/home/web/wse214717/includes/usercp_avatar.php on line 288 move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: Unable to move ‘/var/tmp/phpmWXYwy’ to ‘./images/avatars/185302059746efcd65cba94.jpg’ in /usr/home/web/wse214717/includes/usercp_avatar.php on line 288 Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /usr/home/web/wse214717/includes/usercp_avatar.php:288) in /usr/home/web/wse214717/includes/page_header.php on line 483 Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /usr/home/web/wse214717/includes/usercp_avatar.php:288) in /usr/home/web/wse214717/includes/page_header.php on line 485 Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /usr/home/web/wse214717/includes/usercp_avatar.php:288) in /usr/home/web/wse214717/includes/page_header.php on line 486 ops

Ye^: Looking at that error the important bit is “Unable to move ‘/var/tmp/phpmWXYwy’”

I make the chmod 777

it looks like you do not have permissions to the tmp folder

on the hole images dirr ? Ok.What should I do then ?

Ye^: you also need to have the correct permissions on the tmp directory which php uses, you may need to contact the host to correct this for you

Ok.So how should I do that ? Or I mean.What should I say ?

Ye^: do you have access to the folder above your web root

It looks like it works now.

good good

It was becouse I change the chmod 777 on the hole images dir

and on that I am off to bed

now I change chmod 777 on the avatar dir.

ok i’m a complete moron or something but i ran the bbcode stuff through the function that displays it and i still get [b:46aed]text in this spot[/b:46aed] anyone have any idea? what table in the database is the bbcode_options field in? better yet what are the flags for generate_text_for_display($text, $uid, $bitfield, $flags)

The exporter could not write the theme information file. Click the button below to download this file with your browser. Once you have downloaded it you can transfer it to the directory containing the template files. You can then package the files for distribution or use elsewhere if you desire what is mean with that ? theme_info.cfg what should I do with that file ? replace it with the other one in the Template Dir ? I have do it but I get the some thing ? somebody ?

Where is the channel for mambo?

try #mambo this is clearly not #mambo

Tried, its deserted.

google is your friend. find mambo’s website, and if they have an irc channel, they’ll have it posted

ok, I guess they don’t then

can somebody tell me how the Templates work ? The exporter could not write the theme information file. Click the button below to download this file with your browser. Once you have downloaded it you can transfer it to the directory containing the template files. You can then package the files for distribution or use elsewhere if you desire I get someting like that why ?

superficially, it looks like you have permissions problems specifically, your webserver does not have permissions to write to the folder containing your templates you can either change the permissions. or. do what it says.

Does someone know how to fix scands to work in phpbb 2.0.22? I’m encountering some problems with that now that I installed new forum

hello. running 3.0 RC5. LDAP-question: is the LDAP-database accessable only readonly or is it possible to create a new user in the LDAP database via registering a user? thx for answers.

mindbender, I’m pretty sure phpBB’s implementation is read only

hm. i c. then there won`t be any other chance than to write a custom script to do that (if this is easily possible at all :/ ) but thx for your answer.

hello all getting an access forbidden message when I try to access the installation php page for phpbb … I own the server (*nix running apache) but I am unsure where to adjust the setting. Can anyone please help? anyone out there? hehe check check … any experienced phpbb users out there?

you have to tell em which version . or they can’t help you

lol I’m sorry my bad i’m using mandriva 2007 with phpbb3 (installed) getting access forbidden errors when trying to get to next step in the installation process (localhost/phpbb/install/index.php) if this is the wrong place for me to be asking this please advise … I’m just new to phpbb

what is the exact error? or is that alll it says? and to the next step of installing phpbb?

“access forbiddden you don’t have permission to access ……” basically I download and installed the package using urpmi … next step is to configure i know how to change permissions on server using chmod but don’t know where I should be looking (apache)

sounds like you need apache help no clue on that try seeing if there is an apache channel to this

thank on #apache and seeing if they’ll help .. can’t believe what a pain this has become … everything else on the server running 100% thought this would have been a tad easier has anyone worked with phpbb on either mandriva or mandrake?

hello next simple question by me, if i’ll import big database ( up to 200k posts ) which made was in phpbb2 into phpbb3 everything will be allright? i mean users, subforums, posts

No, you need to use the convertor.

if i’ll ‘convert’ it by the convertor, everything will be allright :P ?

Yes

rats had Donut helping me last nght but he seems to be afk night*

Even, if you mean the php code?

even? talking about the parse_attachments function in the /includes/functions.php file ran my text through it and all the attachment code vanished instead of being parsed

MOD support needs to be asked where you go the MOD. In this case, that attachment MOD’s thread: http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=74505 s/go/got

done thanks very much lads

Noxwizard, dude… 1480 pages of posts. I’d rather wait indefenitely in here for help, or upgrade to phpBB3.

People actively reply to that thread, it’s not 1500 pages of unanswered questsion. Just ask your question there, and someone will reply.

Noxwizard, sure, but will I read the answer or will I get lost in all the pages?

Look at your posts will get you to the page

hey, does anyone know how i could put a log on for phpbb 3 rc4 on a page in my site that is not connected to my forums? or rather login

http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=71&t=571088 that will help

ya … i’m still trying to fix this … error is [error] [client 127.0.0.1] client denied by server configuration: /usr/share/phpbb/install/index.php index.php is currently set to 777 and i’ve tried 755 (phpbb3 on apache)

hello!

Hello. This is my first time on. Is this an active source of information?

usually

Cool. Does anyone know how I can test if a user is an admin or mod? This way only Moderators and Administrators can see this specific link?

in phpBB3 or phpBB2?

Oh yeah. I’m sorry. It’s phpbb2 I am trying to set this in my tpl file for my header.

$userdata[’user_level’] It will be set to 1 for admins and 2 for moderators

Ok. So I can just do something like.. if $userdata[’user_level’] = 1 || $userdata[’user_level’] = 2 … ?

Exactly Except ==, not = = is set So that would always return true

Awesome. Oh yeah. I’m still trying to rember this is more of a scripting language… not Visual Basic. Thanks for the help.

No problem

Oh, one more thing.

Sure

I want to change my “Register” link so that it logs the person out and redirects directly to the register page. Is this simple?

Logs the person out? The register link shouldn’t display for logged in users

Currently I am redirecting it to user.html that is redirecting it to {U_REGISTER}. I changed it so that only logged in users see the register link. Now I’m going to change it so that only Mods/Admins see the register link.

Note that just because others can’t see the link doesn’t mean they can’t visit the page

Then, I want it be so that only Mods/Admins can add Users by clicking the Register link. Then the link will log them off and load the register page.

Is this all to prevent spam?

I know, but I’m just doing this for education purposes.

k, no problem

Not entirely to prevent spam. Just for something to do so I can learn php stuff.

Well, the logout part isn’t particularly easy to do because there is no function for it in phpBB2 The user would need to be redirected to the logout page

One sec. Let me see if I can find my tpl link line…

You could add an extra GET to the URL and then pick that up in login.php and redirect further to the login page, but that can get complex and silly s/login page/registration page

a href=”{U_LOGIN_LOGOUT}&redirect=user.html” class=”mainmenu”img src=”{NAV_IMAGES_REGISTER}” class=”mx_icon” border=”0″ alt=”" hspace=”1″ align=”middle” //aspan class=”mainmenu”a href=”{U_LOGIN_LOGOUT}&redirect=user.html” class=”mainmenu”Register User/a/span I use this link through mx_bb and it works good for logging out, then redirecting to user.html Then user.html redirects to /phpbb/profile.php?mode=register which works great.. but slow. I’m happy with this for now.

Okay, I had never redirected upon logout :P Okay then

I was more worried about the test for admin/mod level. Which, to my suprise, was answered rather quickly. Yay!!!

Why not just add the URI to the registration page rather than to user.html? That is to say: a href=”{U_LOGIN_LOGOUT}&redirect=profile.php?mode=register” class=”mainmenu”img src=”{NAV_IMAGES_REGISTER}” class=”mx_icon” border=”0″ alt=”" hspace=”1″ align=”middle” //aspan class=”mainmenu”a href=”{U_LOGIN_LOGOUT}&redirect=user.html” class=”mainmenu”Register User/a/span

Because I a new to web developement and didn’t think of that. Crud. I just thought of something. The $userdata[’user_level’] works for php. Now I will have to find out how to do this with the tpl. lol I guess I’m off to find a resource to see how they work together. Thanks for the help guys. I’m off.

I am having trouble installing phpBB2 on my website hosted from godaddy.com

hello peeps /s anybody here using phpbb-fullmod?

We do not support pre-modified software here

i see…sorry, forgot to read the faq thanks

Anyone here help with phpBB3? Anyone here?

no one can help or know if they can help until you post a problem or question

Ah. Right, sorry. Anyway, the problem I am having is that when I try to delete a user it takes me to a “page not found”. I go into user management and then select the user. Then I select the delete user and all posts. It takes me to the confirm page but after I say yes it takes me to the “page not found” Any ideas? Also, I get the same message when I try to delete the group I created.

Are you sure all files are present and with the correct file permissions?

The only file permissions I changed was the config.php. And as far as all of the files, the only folder that has been removed post install was the install folder.

Any mods installed?

No, basic install. Nothing fancy.

and no edits to any files? Try reuploading a fresh set of files replacing all the old ones except the config.php, just to be sure all files uploaded correctly originally

Something I did do, to test this problem. I created a seperate upload location, a new database and a new install. after that I registered a new member on the new db and tried to delete it using the admin login. I received the same error message.

what is the URI in the address bar when you get the error?

http://www.ba23online.com/index.php?i=users&mode=overview&u=55&sid=14c92244cf5ce17e0edbf72aaeaef4c5&confirm_key=4WNA51MXA8

The link is missing the /adm/ for example it should be http://localhost/phpBB3/adm/index.php?i=users&mode=overview&u=53&sid=867029cfb71097f718a02d9cc52f0c42&confirm_key=1PHRVPIH4M see the /adm/index/ rather than just index Give this edit a try, it is something A_Jelly_Donut come up with a similar redirect issue http://www.ktuk.net/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=36&p=125649#p125649

Page Not Found

? after trying that edit or the link I posted

typing in that link for my domain.

obviously that is not going to work

lol.

you need to apply the edit in the link I posted and then try deleting the user

Okay, I am not the technical guru you thought I was.

it is one line edit in the functions.php click here http://www.ktuk.net/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=36&p=125649#p125649 and make that change to your functions.php you can download and open the file in a plain text editor to make the change.

Okay, I dl’d that file.

and what happens now when you try and delete the user?

I haven’t found the section that needs to be edited, where on the functions.php page is it located please?

it is on about line 473 of the file

if (!function_exists(’realpath’))

did you even look at the link I posted?

I’m still looking at it as we speek. speak. Call to undefined function: phpbb_realpath() in /data/13/1/151/27/1314679/user/1408148/htdocs/phpBB3/includes/session.php on line 72

what did you replace the line with, just to be sure you made the edit correctly?

hello peoples *people

undo that change then, iit was just something I found which apparently fixed weird redirection issues, apparently it does not fix this one

anybody can help with phpbb templates?

Nope, that worked great. Sorry, my error. I read the page wrong. I thought you needed both lines. if (!function_exists(’realpath’))if (!function_exists(’realpath’) || 1 == 1)

Actually my mistake appears I double copied when I made the topic not on my forum :p

Sometimes things have to be s-p-e-l-l-e-d out for me.

so that did work?

Yep. Thanks.

i want make nested loop and then show it in template. but it show it like {forumrow.last_topics.test}

hello does any1 know when the greek language pack will be available for download ?

DrDeath, will try now

thank you

i see in phpbb3 it doesn’t work at all…or in my rc4 i trace template parsing

Hello, who can help me ?

Just ask your question

phpbb_ - Could not connect to the database, see error message below. and can connect mySQL server , :/ Can’t connect to MySQL server on “server’ (93)

what did you use as hostname?

servage.net Venezia and user.

???????

try to use localhost as hostname at the install page

www.venezia.clankamp.com/forum www.venezia.clankamp.com/forum ?

No the prefix can be just phpbb_ the hostname/usenrame/database or password is incorrect

ok port ? :/

leave blank assuming your host uses the default

Tables with the specified prefix already exist, please choose an alternative.

sorry to interrupt / seems that there is no greek language yet in phpBB3? venezia try to logg on cpanel mysql admin and delete the existed tables in your database

then he deletes his old phpBB2 installation…maybe o_O

i dont think so or else he can rename and create new tables

try ‘localhost’ as database hostname

but the old one are useless

are _you_ sure, Dunali ?

ups

i installed the database 3 times the only thing i cant find is to change language :X

but it could be that he uses the same database, phpBB2 is installed in….

he updates or just installing phpbb3?

where do i need to post an fault in a install.xml file to be more specific its not a fault in the mod self but more in the translation of add before add after etc…

i have set up a user group and assigned them full access and administrator privlages, however they do not have the same features i have, for example they cant delete threads and stuff
