Thanks to all the Snitz team for this new release.
Since I have installed several mods, I have downloaded the version containing the changed files since v3.4.05.
I always mark all the changes I make to the standard code with a special comment, so it was relatively easy to update the new version with my mods.
I have installed it in a Test Forum and it seems to be working fine.
Only one question:
quote:
Changed the default option to NOT use the drop down box when searching for posts by a member.
I understand this can be useful for Forums which have thousands of members. However, I prefer to keep the listbox. I couldn't find any way for the user to choose if the listbox must be ON or OFF.
I couldn't find any parameter about this in the Admin Options. The only way I found to change the default is to edit SEARCH.ASP and change line 43 from strUseMemberDropDownBox = 0 to strUseMemberDropDownBox = 1.
It would be very nice if this option were selectable directly by each user.
Thank you

| well, the whole point of the option is to relieve strain on the server, and users are really not the people who should be making that decision< |

I think one of my users has got a bug. It's related to the new function
When logged in, user name now shows correct case as when you signed up
Try this:
1. Register with username "PippoKing" (or other name containing upper and lowercase)
2. Create new topic -> OK
3. Go back and edit the same topic. You get the following error:
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000d'
Type mismatch: 'rs'
/TestForum/post.asp, line 642
I believe the error comes from line 620 of post.asp, where you compare strAuthor with MemberID, and maybe one variable is case-sensible and the other is not, so MoveTopicAllowed is incorrectly set to "0".
if (mLev = 4) or (mLev = 3 and strMoveTopicMode = "0") or ((mLev = 3) and (strMoveTopicMode = "1") and (strAuthor = MemberID)) then
MoveTopicAllowed = "1"
else
MoveTopicAllowed = "0"
end if
Then the program follows the "else" branch here and maybe the rs variable is not initialized:
if MoveTopicAllowed = "1" then
else
strSql = strSql & " AND F.FORUM_ID = " & rs("FORUM_ID")
end if
I repeated the same steps using another user all lowercase ("pippoking") and it worked correctly.
Hope this may help.

Sorry. Thank you for the link.
I downloaded from here the new version and didn't check for known bugs.
You can delete my previous post, if you wish.
Thank again

| There seem to be some stuff missing from the changed file zip, http://forum.snitz.com/specs.asp. I got no further than looking at "active.asp" when I realized that the function "chkForumAccessNew" called on line 231 was not in any of the files in the zip archive. The missing file for that particular function seems to be "inc_func_secure.asp." I'm posting this because it's often easier to add updates to only files that have changes between snitz versions intead of having to reinstall loads of mods.< |

That's exactly what that zip is for; it contains only those files that have been changed since v3.4.05 was realeased - no changes to inc_func_secure.asp so it's not in there. Download the full version if you need the all the forum files.

I hope you'll forgive me.... It's late and I'm tired but I need a quick answer if anyone has it.....
A long while back there was a problem with some setups of Windows Server 2003 that would cause problems with session variables. I fixed the problem by basically changing all session variables to cookies.
I know I wasn't the only person with this problem. Was it ever dealt with (either by Microsoft or Snitz)?
Or will upgrading to this version mean I have to go through that whole process again?

| I am looking for step by step instructions to upgrade using "just changed files version" of 3.4.05-->3.4.06. I don't have any mods that I am aware of and I haven't changed the code. I just want to update to the new version in the most simple and stable fashion. I figured there must be some instructions for just this basic type of upgrade, but I have yet to locate them. Would someone please point me in the right direction? Thanks, Mike< |
