In Private Messaging, the Find User and Select From Buddy List links are broken and just show a listing of my root directory. What have I done?

I'm looking on the bright side, but I still don't see the light! Idea

What template set are you using default or path_info, also are you using URL sessions?

I am using a custom Template Set and URL sessions are enabled.

Is your custom template set based on default or PATH_INFO theme?

Can you try and see if it works for you on this forum (it does for me).

If it does not work please tell me what browser are you using and make sure your JavaScript is enabled (both of those links utilize JavaScript).

Yes, it worked for me on this site. I use Mozilla Firebird. It does the same thing with IE on my forum. Don't know what it could be.

I upgraded to 2.6.3 and there is no change.

The upgrade isn't using my custom template. What is the procedure of getting that back?

Modify the new template files based on the ones the forum backed up into errors/.backup/ directory.

I dunno why you are seeing this problem on your forum but not here and I am unable to replicate it with any browser on any of my development forums.

Do you have URL sessions enabled? If so try disabling them...

View source of the page. It's a very simple window open code.

It is possible that your browser does not like javascript:// for the URL for some reasons, but if that were the case it should've not worked on this forum as well.

There are at least a hundred files in the .backup directory and no other directories are in it. Is there an easier way to work with templates for future upgrades?

Not really, generally speaking (with the exception of few releases) commonly modified templates are rarely changed, so you don't actually need to perform any modifications every upgrade.

So, just go in and change the main templates again?

Also, this is the code I have for that link:
[<a href="javascript://" onClick="javascript: window_open('http://yavin4.zipper.azi/?t=pmuserloc&amp;&amp;js_redr=post_form.msg_to_list','user_list',250,250);">Find User</a>]

Yes.

The JavaScript code you've pasted gave me an idea about the possible problem. Apply the patch at:
http://cvs.prohost.org/c/index.cgi/FUDforum/chngview?cn=2798

and rebuild your theme, I think that will fix the problem.

I'm sorry. I'm going to drive you nuts by the time we've fixed this. I used the link, but don't see a patch of any sort. Do I have to login to the site? Do I copy the code into the specified files?

Thanks

The site does not require any login. You can download the affected files (they are listed @ the top) and replaces the ones you have with those.

I copied all the files into my /var/FUDforum/thm/... directory and rebuilt the theme. I got the following message during rebuild:
Missing Message entry register_max_sig_len inside i18n/english/msg

Grab the latest version of the english msg file from
http://cvs.prohost.org/c/index.cgi/FUDforum/getfile/install/forum_data/thm/ default/i18n/english/msg?v=1.132

and re-run the theme compilation.

That worked. I noticed the find option is case sensitive. I think that is hard for searches. Is is supposed to be that way. It also brought in my custom header into the window.

And one more (hopefully) for the road: How would I change the window size on that link? Is that in the pmsg.tmpl?

Thanks a lot!

find is case sensitive intentionally.

Your custom header would only appear if you modified header_plain to include your custom header. This section is only used for pop-up windows and should not be modified.

You need to edit ppost.tmpl to modify the window size.

First off, I must say you have the best support around. Thanks for all the help.

For me it would help to not be case sensitive at times, so for an add-on suggestion, you could have a check box to make it case sensitive. Maybe, I am not in the majority, but it seems it would be handy in a lot of cases. For example, searching for tom, I don't get Tom. Also, I wouldn't get bottom. It seems like that would be a needed function too; to be able to search for a string within a user name. Just a thought.

I had obviously edited the plain one also. Thanks!

When I took care of the header problem, I didn't need to resize anyway. Thanks for the info, though.

Making user search case insensitive would make the query extremely slow especially on the larger forums.
