"Add Private Messaging to your Snitz Forum! ASP script includes database setup files, admin panel and graphics. Private Message download is easy to install. No Snitz Forum should be without this one. We all know how much members like this one. Just click the link below and save to your computer. Help files are included! Snitz Forum Version 3.4.04+"
So installed that and ran the:
admin_mod_dbsetup.asp
=> PM is there and alle screens are working except for:
privatesend.asp?method=Topic
=> The website cannot display the page HTTP 500
Most likely causes:
The website is under maintenance.
The website has a programming error.
What you can try:
Refresh the page.
Go back to the previous page.
More information
Then I'm not completely sure if I had the next eror report the first time (as I've ran the dbsetup.asp a few times):
Creating table(s)...
CREATE TABLE FORUM_PM( M_ID int IDENTITY (1, 1) PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL , M_SUBJECT nvarchar (100) NULL , M_FROM int NULL , M_TO int NULL , M_SENT nvarchar (50) NULL , M_MESSAGE ntext NULL , M_PMCOUNT nvarchar (50) NULL , M_READ int NULL DEFAULT 0, M_MAIL nvarchar (50) NULL , M_OUTBOX smallint NULL DEFAULT 1)
Table already exists
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Adding Column M_PMEMAIL...
ALTER TABLE FORUM_MEMBERS ADD M_PMEMAIL int NULL DEFAULT 0
ALTER TABLE FORUM_MEMBERS ADD M_PMEMAIL int NULL DEFAULT 0
-2147217900 | Column names in each table must be unique. Column name 'M_PMEMAIL' in table 'FORUM_MEMBERS' is specified more than once.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Adding Column M_PMRECEIVE...
ALTER TABLE FORUM_MEMBERS ADD M_PMRECEIVE int NULL DEFAULT 1
ALTER TABLE FORUM_MEMBERS ADD M_PMRECEIVE int NULL DEFAULT 1
-2147217900 | Column names in each table must be unique. Column name 'M_PMRECEIVE' in table 'FORUM_MEMBERS' is specified more than once.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Adding new records..
INSERT INTO FORUM_CONFIG_NEW (C_VARIABLE,C_VALUE) VALUES ('strPMLimit','20')
INSERT INTO FORUM_CONFIG_NEW (C_VARIABLE,C_VALUE) VALUES ('strPMStatus','1')
Value(s) updated successfully
*Think* I followed the instructiosn and didn't forget something. But something was unclear on installation:
1)
Does that AtomicWebStudio for 3.4.04+ also work with the latest Snitz release without any modifications?
2)
Here is the readme.html that says about "TOPIC.ASP":
Find following: (about line 513)
Select All
rM_YAHOO = 5
Add the following directly below on line 514:
Select All
rM_PM = 6
=> But something else already has that number 6! So *AFTER* I got an error message, I just gave all others a higher number; 6=7, 7=8, 8=9, etcetera. So none has the same number. But still the same error.
Any idea what could be the cause?
A completely other question is that I like to have standard httpS for logging in; hackers easily can listen to a port for passwords on a hotel or internetshop PC and destroy. Only found a many years old Snitz topic about that. I took ASP and MSSQL for security, but if it lacks httpS, I might be better of with a good PHP forum or complete package, that includes httpS.
Thanks in advance! |

Try this to get the actual error message: http://forum.snitz.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=21987
Once the actual error is found, then we can try to sort it.
Using https means placing the files in a protected folder and the login is done from every forum file, which means you'd need to place the whole forum under https or do some changing to the way login now is done...
Now, we've been here for quite some time and we've yet to get a report on a forum hacked through the means you want to protect agains by using the https... Personally I don't think that is needed.
<edit> The link posted previously was wrong, sorry.</edit> |

| And httpS... some sites need protection. I've heard from attacks that all members got stolen bank-accounts. And in the past I needed sometimes 6 hours daily only defending and researching against attacks from all kind of spy-companies (even a paramilitary firm from Israel) above the normal spammers and lone-freaks. It just depends about the kind of site; if there is no financial gain, no political or media/crowd control gain, no enemies; then you're probably completely right... |

Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0126'
Include file not found
/privatesend.asp, line 45
The include file 'inc_code.asp' was not found.
BUT "inc_code.asp" is just there in the dir where all Snitz files are..!
AND "privatesend.asp" just look fine on line 45:
'## Part of the Private Messages MOD for Snitz Forums 2000 v3.4.01 ##

Did you change privatesend.asp? The one I have has no such include and AFAIK there is no such file, neither in the mod nor the snitz base code. There is an inc_code.js but the mod should not need it.
Regarding https, if I were to develop a banking app, or another app that would use sensitive and valuable info, I would use it... for a forum, I don't think it's required. |

Probably a lot changes had to do with it, as I quickly saw it 5 times running by in the PM installaton guide:
readme.html
So I have to check for errors in doing so, tomorrow (it's amost 6AM here, so take a nap)...
Aother sub-question was about "TOPIC.ASP":
Find following: (about line 513)
Select All
rM_YAHOO = 5
Add the following directly below on line 514:
Select All
rM_PM = 6
=> But something else already has that number 6! So *AFTER* I got an error message, I just gave all others a higher number; 6=7, 7=8, 8=9, etcetera. So none has the same number. But still the same error.
So should I have 2 with the number 6 and bring it back in that state, or leave it after I changed all numbers to avoid two having the same? |

Once you add such a change, you need to change all the following numbers, increasing them by one... and you have already done that.
Yep, it was not in the manual... Think after the errors I even threw the "M_MSN" away, because that could be a security risk and gave me the extra free number... quote:

It looked an older version than atomicwebstudio (see first posting) or less fancy. But not?
http://www.snitzbitz.com/mods/details.asp?Version=All&mid=62
MOD Version: 3.5.05
Forum Version: 3.3.04
Uploaded: 9/3/2005
And does it work with the latest Snitz release? Or should I install:
http://www.forums2001.ca/forum/
Many features, nice graphical, multilanguage, up-to-date!!!
"The famous one":
http://forum.snitz.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=40765
?
I mean does it also have PM included, Polls and everything I could wish?
Thanks! |

The include file 'inc_code.asp' was not found.=> I now see that I only have a inc_code.js !
...as well on my site, as on my PC...
Only in the Snitz program install download dir, is the inc_code.JS file, NOT the ASP file with the same name.
The Private Message user guide, doesn't mention this is as a file of theirs.
I just downloaded the Snitz forum software another time to find out if the .ASP file is there, and it ISN'T (only the .js).
=> In privatesend.asp, I renamed "inc_code.asp" into "inc_code.js"
Ofcourse I don't get the same error message, but now I get a screen full of page-code with a lot of times "AddText(AddTxt);"
=> OK; I just removed that line "(45) <!--#INCLUDE FILE="inc_code.asp" -->", and now I get the send PM message screen!!!
What was that line for anyway? |

=> it's already there & forumcode in messages is working... But whatfor was the inc_code.ASP line that I've removed, meant for anyway?
Don't undertand; OR do you mean I can create inc_code.ASP, just by creating that file and putting only those two lines into it?
Some last questions about this MOD installation: wich PM is better & why; AtomicWebStudio (as I have now), or SnitzBitz ?
And wich MOD's best to add for Polls, Anonymous users (what is that) and so on..?
Many thanks! |

Image's code is not an official release, so you will have to resort to his forum for support.
Why is that Gareth Moore (SnitzBitz) the latest? The files say 2004, except for an example file of 2005. That Atomic have some joke that the files are from 911 2006 at 6am, so I can't take that serious about the real date. Then could there be problems using other MOD's from Atomic and/or SnitzBitz, depending on wich PM one takes? |
