I have setup our board with a few private forums on it. I changed the Auth Type to "Allowed Member List" and then moved them from the left-hand column (Forum Members) and to the right-hand column (Select Members). Up until now, it's worked ok but there were a couple bugs. For instance, sometimes, it wouldn't add the name but would instead add just a blank field. Once you have 2 blanks, it would give you an error so you'd have to keep trying till it worked. Again, buggy but it eventually worked. This was using v3.302B4.
Today, I just upgraded to v3.303. When I added a new member to one of my private forums, the name moved over no problem. However, when I opened the forum properties again, the entire list was now erased from the Select Members field. I re-added them all and it seemed to take effect but when I went back into the properties again, they were all gone again. What gives? Why is it not saving my changes now??

Am I the only one having this problem? This is serious as none of my members can access the forum now b/c the Selected Members list is now wiped and it won't save any changes I submit. Again, this started after I upgraded to v3.303 earlier today. Please help! Thanks.

Still no response.
Maybe a better question is to ask how to properly downgrade back to a more stable version? I've checked, re-checked and checked again my installation of the new version and as far as I can tell, I've done it all correctly. Everything else works fine but this so until I see a more definitive answer, I'm going to assume that this is a bug in the new version.
If I have to choose between a finicky authorization list that sometimes works and one that doesn't work at all, I guess I'll take the former.

I'll check this out... I'll reply back in a little bit.
What database are you using? |

I've been playing with this also.
I was happy as I'm forced to use IE4 and the old code to move selections between the 2 list did not work. The current code moves the selections properly in IE4.
The problem now is that the selection is not saved.
I've noticed that 3.3.03 now uses a selectbox.js file in place of the old code which used to move the selections.
The code still has an onClick event to call a function named selectUsers. With all the changes this function no longer exists, which is probably the cause of the problem.
I'm now getting out of my depth, but I hope this helps someone figure out what should happen.
Thanks,
Kym.

| Yes, I noticed the .js file as well, that is new to me. I'll have a look at it and if I come up with a fix, I'll post it here. |

I have made the following changes to post.asp, which seem to fix the problem:
1. Modified line 936 from:
if not(Instr("," & tmpStrUserList & "," , "," & rsMember("MEMBER_ID") & ",",1) > 0) then
to
if not(Instr("," & tmpStrUserList & "," , "," & rsMember("MEMBER_ID") & ",") > 0) then
2. Replaced lines 967-974, namely:
set rsAllowedMember = nothing
if tmpStrUserList <> "" then
%>
<option value="<% =tmpStrUserList %>"></option>
<%
end if
%>
</select>
with:
set rsAllowedMember = nothing
%>
</select>
3. Replaced 940-945, namely:
loop
if tmpStrUserList <> "" then
%>
<option value="<% =tmpStrUserList %>"></option>
<% end if %>
</select>
with:
loop
%>
</select>
4. Added the following function around line 186:
function selectUsers()
{
selectAllOptions(document.PostTopic.AuthUsers);
}
The member lists seem to work perfectly now. Can someone confirm that these fixes work for them?
Thanks,
Kym.

I was just about to post this...
I have the fixed file here: http://kinser.121hosts.net/link-it/default.asp?catid=3&cattitle=FILES
it's just called post
mclek, that's basically what I did. Looks like the conversion to use the selectbox.js file was started, but never really finished.
btw. Excellent troubleshooting!  |

I added sorting to this also.
Basically when you move a user from one box to the other, it was putting it at the end of the list. I used the sortSelect function from the selectbox.js file to have it automatically sort the target list.
you can download it here: http://kinser.121hosts.net/link-it/default.asp?catid=3&cattitle=FILES
It's named post2 |

And I was so proud of myself that I found that (free to use and include) script.
I liked the script so much that I included it completely so there are a couple of unused functions in it.
If you look in the file, you'll also see the url of the site it came from, there are a couple of excelent examples of how to use the script on that site.
Richard,
I knew about the sorting thing, I didn't use it because it would cause the box to time-out on the site here. Sorting is nice on small sites but if it has to sort a list with 8,000+ items (which is the case here at the site), the browser hangs.
Cel,
Nice catch, thanks
Pierre

| I figured the sorting would be very intensive on a large site, just included it just in case anyone wanted it. |

Well, even though the code wasnt' quite right, it has helped me heaps, since the previous versions didn't work at all under IE4. So thanks Gor.

Would it be possible to get the code changes you did documented so that those of us with other mods installed that effected Post.asp could implement the fixes?

Hopper,
Easiest thing to do would be to replace all of the code in your file that is in between the following:
'#################################################################################
'## Allowed User - listbox Code
'#################################################################################
'#################################################################################
'## Allowed User - End of listbox code
'#################################################################################
With the same code in the file I have for download. Then just replace the following line (which is a few lines down from the '## Allowed User - End of listbox code:
Response.Write " onclick=""selectUsers()"""
with this:
Response.Write " onclick=""selectAllOptions(document.PostTopic.AuthUsers)""" |
