I was able to edit the css template to get rid of the background for [quote]. But, The word "quote" appears above the quoted text. Where can I get rid of that? I just want to have the ability to format like HTML <blockquote>.

Thanks

you need to edit the source for post_proc.php.t for that.

That's the problem. Where's that file? What's .t? I kept looking in all of the post, post_common, post_opt, etc. templates and can't find the right spot to edit. I found some stuff for FUDquote but when I commented it out, the problem still persists (word "quote" or "nameX wrote..." appears above the quote)

thanks

Ah, yes. I found it - Thanks.

But, I've been having trouble with some folders in my forum directories. When I tried to transfer that file to my desktop for editing, I get a message that permission is denied. That also happens when I try to pull up items from other folders.

Is this something I need to resolve with my host or is this something that is built in to FUD and I can change through admin or something?

Working on the back end is fairly new to me so I do appreciate your help. The FUDforum and forum folders are set to 777 so I assume that everything in them should also be writable as well, but they are not. I tried resetting the numeric value in the subdirectories but access was denied to do that as well.

Thanks.

The forum's files are "locked" by default. You need to use the admin control panel (file lock/unlock) to unlock them.

I went into admin and saw that files appeared to be unlocked but because I still couldn't access files, I put in my password and hit "unlock",

I tried to transfer a file but it failed. When I went to go back to the forum I can't log in and get these messages:

Warning: Unknown(/usr/www/users/weblynxd/frugal/forum/index.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in Unknown on line 0

Warning: (null)(): Failed opening '/usr/www/users/weblynxd/frugal/forum/index.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in Unknown on line 0

I changed the name of the original forum and installed a new concurrent forum (same version). I entered the name of the old database in the new forum hoping it would connect to that. Have I lost everything or is there some way to get out of this mess?

Please be specific as possible because I'm feeling pretty clueless right now. :>(

version is 2.6.6

OK - I might have messed things up even further - or maybe not.

I got the interface back up, but unfortunately I did not create a data dump before this happened. I think my data has to be somewhere. I tried to reregister in the new interface, but it says that an email address is already associated with that user. ( I entered the old database in forum admin - I just can't seem to access it - I imagine the files are somewhere on my host server )

I know - this is very noobish. *argh*

All the data is still there, you haven't lost anything.

Basically you need to re-chmod the forum's files.

does that mean I set the /forum and FUDforum directories to 777 again?

What did that error message mean? Will the forum reappear as it was after I chmod?

At this point I'm hesitant to unlock files ever again - how'd this all happen?

Your assistance is appreciated.

There is a bug in that code on certain version of Redhat/Fedora which was fixed in later FUDforum releases.

The current fix would be to chmod all of the forum's files 666 and directories 777.

Ex.
find /forum/dir -type f | xargs chmod 666
find /forum/dir -type d | xargs chmod 777

OK - I'll have to try that when I get home from work and I'll post again if I can't pull things up.

If I get this up should I upgrade to a later release? How will I preserve all the templates that are currently tweaked the way I want them?

in the meantime - thanks

Yeah you definately should upgrade.

If your customizations were inside header/footer tmpl then nothing will change. Other templates that you modified would be backuped by the upgrade process.

OK - when I look at my directories through FTP I see that forum and FUDforum are already 777 as well as the subdirectories. But, when I look in FUDforum/files at the individual files, there are no permissions at all - so I guess the bug is that the "unlock files" button erased the permissions. This is the case in ALL of the directories.

So then , I go as far at seeing the files in Telnet, but when I go to chmod files, the operation is not permitted. What next?

Hmmmm, I don't know much, but I'm geussing I can't change something that's not there to begin with. Is there a command to set the mode for files?

If so, what would the exact command be to set the mode for all files in a directory all at once? Is that possible?

Is it possible to import the data from the original forum into the new setup? Where would I find what needs to be imported?

So many questions - sorry! I'm nearly ready to throw in the towel, take a data loss and have users re-register. *argh*

There is no need to take the data loss, since no data was actually lost. The permissions were changed by a web script, and you'll need a web script to restore them.

One way is to ask you ISP to chmod all the forum files in the manner indicated in my previous e-mail.

Another way is to make a quick PHP script to try to do the same.
Ex.


<?php
shell_exec("find /forum/dir -type f | xargs chmod 666");

shell_exec("find /forum/dir -type d | xargs chmod 777");
?>

Yesterday I was on the phone with my ISP and they were unsuccessful in running a chmod. *sigh*

If I do a script like that, where would I install it to? could it be installed in the FUDforum or forum directory? Would it then set all folders to 777 and all the files in them to 666 or would it have to be run in each folder?

Is there a way to do this through telnet? And if so, can it be done in one swoop in the forum and FUDforum folders? What exactly would I type into the command line when I get to the prompt to show the forum directory? (or the subdirectory)

I'll have to check in again later when I get home from work.

Thanks

They (the ISP) need to run the chmod as the "root" user.

The PHP script can be placed in any web directory and then executed via the browser. Be sure that you change the script to reflect you forum installation dir.

OK - I contacted my ISP again and they chmod-ed all my directories and files (that also includes all of the sub and sub/sub directories), but I still get this error messsage when I try to get to the forum. What's wrong now? Does index.php need to be executable? Are there anyother files that need to be executable - right now all files are just read/write and just directories are 777.

Quote:

Warning: main(/usr/www/users/weblynxd/frugal/forum/theme/default/index.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /usr/www/users/weblynxd/frugal/forum/index.php on line 1148

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required '/usr/www/users/weblynxd/frugal/forum/theme/default/index.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /usr/www/users/weblynxd/frugal/forum/index.php on line 1148

A question - they suggested using a cgi-wrap and chmod-ing everything to 755 so I'd show as the "owner". Will FUD work with that?

Thanks

OK - so I can do the cgi-wrap, right? But what is wrong that I'm getting this error message. Is that because that particular file isn't executable or will I need to edit something?

This is the error meassage again:

the file needs to readable by the forum user, the error you are seeing is because the use the forum is running as does not have permissions to the file(s).

hmmmm, I don't understand what you mean. What needs to be done to fix that? Please be specific.

Will that be resolved once the files are all chmod-ed to 755 and in my CGI-bin?

On your system PHP runs as a certain user account, in order for the forum to work that user account MUST have read access to the forum's files.

OK - I'll call my ISP when I get home from work. How did this get changed if everything was working before? Everything went belly-up after I hit the "unlock files" button in the CP. You say this bug is fixed in a later version.

Which upgrade should I install? - I'm hesitant because I keep reading about others losing their templates.

You never lose templates since the forum backs up any of templates it replaces. The best version is 2.6.9RC1 at this moment and RC2 will be out no later then Monday.
