Hello,

I don't think this can be a bug, hence my posting here - hope this is OK. I've searched and seen similar divide by zero problems but I can't see this particular one, and I can't relate the answers I've seen to my specific problem.

Having upgraded to 2.7.6 a few hours ago, all seems OK except when adding a new topic or posting a reply, when users get this message:

Warning: Division by zero in [path]/docs/forum/theme/default/post.php on line 2270

Have I set something to zero that I shouldn't have?

Thanks for any advice...

Derek

Looks like your admin setting of "Message icons per row" is set to 0, which is what's causing the problem.

Thank you very much. I changed this to a number higher than zero (I was trying not to show any icons, but obviously this is not how to achieve that), went back to the forum and was able to post without the divide by zero error.

However, and I can't say whether this is connected or not, now when users try to log in they get this message:

Fatal error: SQL Error has occurred, please contact the administrator of the forum and have them review the forum's SQL query log in [path]/FUDforum/include/core.inc on line 188


The sql_errors file has this (I'm using postgres):

I see the problem reported here:

http://fudforum.org/forum/index.php?t=msg&goto=33770&&srch=Quer y+failed#msg_33770

but does this mean that the wrong version of index.php is being distrubuted with the upgrade? Can you confirm what/where the final version is, so I can copy it over the one I installed (or do I have to edit it to add in the corrected lines?)

Thanks again,

Derek

You need to replace c.cat_opt & 4 with (c.cat_opt & 4) = 4

I've only found the code

Quote:

c.cat_opt & 4


in src/index.php.t (apart from in errors/sql_errors where it is 'c.cat_opt &amp; 4')

So is it in src/index.php.t that this code needs to be replaced with

Quote:

(c.cat_opt & 4) = 4


or am I missing this code completely from the file it should be in - docs/forum/index.php possibly?

Thanks

You need to make the replacement inside index.php.t and then rebuild the theme via the theme manager. That will regenerate index.php page.

OK did that but no effect on the problem - same

message.

However it only seems to be an issue when a user tries log in while already logged in (ie via another window or browser).

Did you rebuild the theme after applying the patch?

After I changed 'c.cat_opt & 4' to '(c.cat_opt & 4) = 4', I then rebuilt the theme via the theme manager. Is there a before/after bit of code I can check in the regenerated index.php page to confirm?

I'm now using the forum 'as is' (I had disabled it over the last week) as I can tell users who get this message to clear their cookies and re-start their browser to log in again. Not ideal, but it will do - the alternative was going back to a previous (stable) version and all the hassle that would involve,

Previously I'd asked

but I suppose this is not something others have a problem with, and 2.7.6 is a 'stable' version, so I'm bemused by the problems I'm experiencing.

Anyway thanks for your tips (it has always 'just worked' for me before) and if there is any further light you can shed on this issue I'd be grateful.

Regards
