Security Code Site Info Block

Client Joined: Jan 07, 2006 Posts: 52

I'v upgraded our site withRavenNuke76 v2.02.02. After the upgrade it appears the original site info block had replaced the site info block v2.1.1 that I downloaded from this site and had installed before the upgrade. The orginal block including the security code worked fine but when I reactivated the site info block v2.1.1 the security code was replaced with the security code box with the red x in it. If you enter your name and password without the code(since it's not being displayed) and hit enter it will bring you to the page where you have to reenter your username and password. On that page the security code box is normal with the numbers displayed. Any idea what the problem may be?

If you are using IE, right click the red X select properties to see the the path to the image then make sure the image is actually present at that location.

I checked as you suggested and the path actually has the number in it but is just not being displayed. If you type the number in shown in the path however, it still brings you to the second page to retry you sign in.

I am having the same exact problem and so far still no fix for it. Also under members, what does 'Waiting' mean?

I have not posted a fix as I am not able to reproduce the problem you are having. On my test sites I set the value to 7 (security graphic for everything) and it appears every time.

You could try re-uploading the login block and also the security image file which is in the nukeroot/images directory.

I have tried that and no luck. I am using v7.6 Raven version and also under members, what does 'Waiting' mean?

You wouldnt see that in the login block, so I'm guessing you are using something else - either the User Info or Who is Online block?
'Waiting' usually means a user has registered and depending on your settings is either waiting for admin approval or waiting for the user to confirm registration by activating the account from the registration email they received.

I am using the Site Info 2.21 block that is here on the site. The only way I see the image is if it goto the page that says "Incorrect Login/Username"

Tried in both Firefox and IE

Here are some screen shots:

Right, no I undertand, I thought you said you had over written that when installing RN.
OK I will take a look.

From my compare of the two files I can see that in order for the block to be as compatible and secure as possible, several checks were incorporated to test which version of nuke the user is using, which patch level they are at etc.
As RN versions of both these supercede what was available when the block was made, additionaly checks would have to be incorporated/ the code modified to cater for that.

Well that did not really help LOL is there anyway I can fix it without re-installing nuke? If you would like I will send you my file or post it here for you to llok at.

I already have the file as it is in the downloads here.
I am wondering what the older block has that the current one does not that you cannot live without?
I ask that as there may be another alternative until Raven can upgrade that code.

I also wanted to use the User Info block from the downloads section. The block included in the 2.02.02 distribution worked fine, the one from the download section didn't display the security code.
I'm a complete php noob, but I compared the code from both blocks (block-User_Info.php). I changed

Code:

      $content .= ""._SECURITYCODE.":<br /><img src='modules.php?name=Your_Account&amp;$gfxOp=gfx&amp;random_num=$random_num' border='1' alt='"._SECURITYCODE."' title='"._SECURITYCODE."'>\n";

to

Code:

      $content .= ""._SECURITYCODE.":<br /><img src='?gfx=gfx&random_num=$random_num' border='1' alt='"._SECURITYCODE."' title='"._SECURITYCODE."'>\n";

Now it works. I'm just posting this here because it might help other people too.
I saw that the version on the main site is 2.2.2, the one in the download section is 2.1.1. Are there any plans to update this one to 2.2.2 ?

The latest-and-greatest will come with the 2.10.00 version of RavenNuke. I don't know if/when Raven plans on releasing it as a separate download.
