I posted this question on Help: General a few days ago but did not get any bites on it. This forum is probably a more appropriate place for it so I'm posting it again to see if I can get this problem resolved.

I'm using the Content Display Mod on my main page (not default.asp). There are a few instances where I'm pulling forum information using the content.asp page. Everything is working fine but...

Until today (Friday, June 1), I was using the IP address because our domain name wasn't available. Now that it is, I updated the forum configuration with the correct forum url instead of the IP address. But, those places where I'm pulling data using the content.asp page, the links displayed contain the IP address rather than the domain name.

Any ideas?

Hi Bookie,

Sorry I hadn't gotten to this earlier. To be honest, I usually look for Mod Implementation questions in the main mod-release thread. When I post a mod, I ask to be notified of all replies on that thread. I guess the thing to do when a new mod is issued, is to automatically come to this forum and start an implementation topic in this forum and then ask for notifications to it.

Anyway...I digress...

Your problem is a little strange. If you changed the forum configuration to reflect the change from IP address to domain name, and the rest of the forum works (ie: your config.asp is working with the data source, etc.), then there should be no problems. I can't imagine what it is, since the connection is relying on the config.asp file. As a matter of fact, looking into your problem I've realized that I was opening an extra connection in the content.asp file, that shouldn't be there. (I was using this for my original test and forgot to remove it. I'll make sure I post something in the other thread and update the zip file.)


Could you send me the file that so I could look at it? Hmmm... come to think of it, try commenting out this section in the content.asp file and see what happens -- before you send me the file (it's around line 92):

' //////// CONNECTION /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
'set my_Conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
'my_Conn.Open strConnString


If that doesn't work then send the file to me and I'll have a look...

Cheers,

Rob,
I commented the two lines and it resulted in an ADODB Recordset error. Earlier today, I inserted the following line which resolved the problem.

strforumurl = "http://(internal url)/forum/"

For this page, I do not have the inc_top.asp page included. Do you think that will make a difference?

Since I'm unable to send you any emails, the content.asp page is located as a text file at http://www.bbc.edu/content.txt. Thanks for the assistance!

Bookie
