Hi!

I got v2.6.2 running this evening and have been playing around with my forum since then.

A strange behaviour is that the settings I've made in global configuration section global settings aren't adhered to. For instance:

New Account Moderation = Yes and New Account Notification = Yes but new users can use the forum and no mail is sent to notifying address.
COPPA = No but registering users get the question if they're above 13 years.
Allow Tree View of Thread Listing = Yes but it's not available.
Flood Trigger (seconds) = 30 but when posting two messages wit as little delay as possible I get that I have to wait another 50 seconds so the standard value 60 seems to still be active.
Server Time Zone = Sweden but users registering doesn't have this value as their default.
Show PDF Generation Link = No and Show Syndication Link = No but they are there anyhow.
... and so on

I've changed the permissions for "Global Anonymous Access" to N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N. Despite this anyone, you don't have to be a member, can see the forum.

What did I miss?

Mvh, Lars

The only way this could happen is if the GLOBALS.php inside the admin and the main forum directories are not symlinks to the one inside the include directory.

One of them was a symbolic link, the other a copy.

Can you advice on how to recreate the links? I don't have access to a command shell on the server and the three FTP programs I've tried either
- doesn't cope with links
- copies the linked file, not the link, when making a copy of the link
- moves the link to the new folder when copying it

Regards and respect, Lars

You can use PHP to create symlinks.


<?php
symlink("/path/to/forum/include/GLOBALS.php", "/path/to/forum/home/GLOBALS.php");
?>

Be sure to remove the copy of the file before making a symlink, since creating a symlink will not overwrite an existing file.

Many thanks!

Now everything on the global settings part seems to be working - except for "New Account Notification".

Newly created users get a mail sent to them from the notification email address and I successfully replied to it. The possibility that the notification address doesn't work or aren't delivered to me is thus ruled out by test.

What can be causing this problem?

Further...
... neither on my forum nor here I get aany notifications that a post by me has been replied too. Should it work? If so how and how do I make it work?

Sounds great. Is there an easy way for me to pull out just that part of the source and path it into my setup?

I'm still familiarising with the system and haven't got to drilling into the source. My next step will be understanding the templates, which one does what and how to alter them.

I manually patched these two files according to the diff from CVS but when testing no mails are sent. I haven't found in the manual (half way through so far) the if, how & when of rebuilding or restarting the forum.

DId I miss something about what to do in order to make FUD take changes into consideration?

I got "unterminated tag MAIN_SECTION inside" when rebuilding the theme. Clueless little me! Sad

Citat:

Additional info
The forum seems to be working but what does the error message mean?
Is my forum system now in a limbo?

I only made changes to the files according to the patches http://fudforum.org/forum/index.php?t=tree&th=3689&mid=17817&ri d=1511&SQ=3df826e29d2d60c97b47720501b6bd09&rev=&reveal=
/src/iemail.inc.t
/src/imsg_edt.inc.t
(see attachd zip)

In addition to this I used the file you gave me in the message http://fudforum.org/forum/index.php?t=tree&th=3687&mid=17764&ri d=1511&SQ=5e5f3153a281acde82e07d6fa51a1da1&rev=&reveal= when installing.

Please, please help!
