I am new to forums (obviously), and have been trying to locate in the code where to change the Sex/Gender information, but as yet I haven't found this, I need it to be Male = 1 or Female = 0 (I know off but still) as I require it due to the main site, I'm trying to tie the main site and Snitz together but as this is one of the issues I'm facing I cannot fully tie it in together.
Q1. Where do I change the sex/gender from full text (fe/male) to 0/1?
Q2. I know not related but would help if anyone can assist - The main site uses <%session="mainsiteuser"%>, Q how can I set Snitz to use the same session tags as the main site?
These are the main two that I really do need answered, as without them I am unable to full tie the two systems together. Aside from this I think I'll be able to tie the databases (SQL Server 2005) via foreign keys (just need to iron out the 'other keys' issue I'm having with it) but i think I can handle this section :), as the primary site database and Snitz uses different 'keys' and collations (though the collation doesn't seem to affect Snitz too much :D - Thankfully) and I honestly am still trying to wrap my head around the database aspect of the main site even after four years of dealing with it :(.
I'll leave it here for the time being. Hopefully someone better than myself can help with the section(s) of code I need to solve this issue, I've been pulling my hair out with the code, database, site, etc. for the past three weeks trying to solve it, but alas help is what I need :-|, yes doing something on this sort of scale is a nightmare - believe me I know, though I'll leave it here as I feel like I'm writing a bit of a novel now, and getting extremely tired :(.
TIA for the assistance!! I need it ;).
Almost bald as is, but after pulling so much hair out, pretty much 'scalped' now.
Cheers and thank you again.

I Emailed you, now you can just reply.

Carefree,
it seems that I don't have enough posts as yet to send an email :(, so I'm not going to be able to send it, if I remember correctly the minimum posts required is 10 (whether or not Snitz has upped this limit or kept it to it's default I'm unsure).
I could create a 'temp' email address for the express purpose of this meeting, then post that 'dead-end' address here. Or I could upload the entire site to a file sharing site (Mediafire, Cubby, similar) in a zip, 7z, etc. format due to it's entirety size (approx. 400 - 450 MB this is everything in /asp/*) there is more than likely quite a bit that isn't required within the folder but as I've been 'playing around' with different 'software', it has grown and I haven't bothered to clean it up, as I'll more or less re-visit the folders and see if I can work out what's causing what error or solve something that shouldn't be happening or otherwise.
Perhaps thinking about it now, I should've 'spread' these sorts of replies/comments out over multiple posts to put the count up, but this would be classed as 'hacking the count' I guess, I know I'd be mad if someone did something like that to my forum ;|.

Carefree,
No problems, just hope the forums allow it, though I'll have to wait until at least Wednesday Morning as I'd like to watch (if that's ok) so I can see exactly where I made the mistake instead of being told ;), hope that's ok with you. I'll send through the connection details in the morning, as I need to catch some z's now as I work again tonight, being a taxi driver I won't be able to watch everything, as if the phone rings, I gotta go :(, so be better set for morning this way I can see my mistake :D, and how I killed the poor thing ;), and also ensure it doesn't happen again in the future ;).
Cheers.
P.S. I really do appreciate all your help! Windows 10, I gotta ask, is it what it's supposed to be cracked up to be? I'm trying to image a laptop of mine so that I can upgrade for the 'hands-on' fun :D, lol, should be interesting if/when I get it imaged. Thank you again for all your help! 'Speak' with you in the morning.

ok - can remote and check for you. My test forum is massive, it's the modular package I've been working on and only superficially resembles a stock Snitz. But easy enough. I'm quite familiar with all MS products from Interface Manager through Windows 10; including all of the standard servers and a few of the specialized servers (e.g., Data Center, small business) of different years.
Email me the connection information and we'll get this fixed for you.

Hmmm..... I wonder where I've screwed up ;) with the configuration, this is what I'm thinking at current. As for the session variables, do they need to use the same 'variables' as the Forum? I.E. M_user, M_pass, etc. as the main site uses id_login, id_pass for the user and pass sections. I'm not entirely sure. But please also note, the forum is in a sub from a sub I.E. www.example.com/asp/sf2, the root doesn't contain any index files as I didn't deem them needed at current (due to testing and verification work on the main and forum - have tried many forum 'packages' and Snitz Forums seems to be the better one out of the ones I've tried to this point) so basically no index.xxx file is found under the root directory except for "directory browsing" which is 'disabled and cannot be used - 403: Forbidden error is applied' aside from this I can't think of anything else that could be causing the issue.
I'd be happy for you to remote in (via teamviewer) to check these settings as I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking for :( or where I may've gone wrong in the configuration. Please also note this is a windows 03 server not a 08 or 08 R2 server. Again not entirely sure where the configuration is incorrect, I thought it was configured correctly but after this, it seems not.
Another thought just came to mind, will Snitz Forums bring over the login details from the main if that user isn't in the Snitz db? If yes, fantastic, if not, I've got a slight problem :|.
Cheers.
P.s. is it possible to upload a copy of your entire test site you used as I'd like to see what the difference(s) maybe between it and my site. Or if you'd prefer, again I'm happy for you to remote into my server and verify the settings. To be honest, I don't know too much about IIS nor do I know too much about the server OS (server 2k, 2k3, 2k8, etc.), all I know is: if it works, its working, if it's not working, there's something a miss and try to fix. If unable to fix, restart from scratch and try again. ;-) typical IT guy for you ;-), yes I am an IT person but more or less have mainly dealt with Win xp, 2k, vista, 7, 8 and sooner or later Win 10, due to lack of "training" thanks to workplace involvment I wasn't really able to learn too much about the Server OS, so I needed to play around with this sort of thing in my own home :*(, which in turn has allowed me to learn a bit more than if I was in the workplace ;), afterall a small mistake could've meant 'life or death' to the entire workplace environment :D.
