Forums module Admin panel

TeKKiE · Hangin' Around Joined: May 11, 2005 Posts: 48

I've upgraded from 7.5 to 7.7, and had a few problems with certain functions/modules not working. I did a lot of research, took a day off work, and have mostly everything working again, with exception to the Administration page in the forums module.

The error returned is:

Code:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /home/craka/public_html/modules/Forums/admin/index.php on line 1261

As far as I see, line 1261 is the last line of the php file. I have also included the

Code:

if (!eregi("modules.php", $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']))
{
die ("You can't access this file directly...");

, at the beginning of the file.

As far as line 1261:

Code:

?>

is what's there

Any ideas?

That means there's an error elsewhere (up higher), a syntax error. The interpreter found a '$' where it wasn't expecting one.

I've copied the code from the file into a text file that can be found

Could you please advise? I am an unseasoned newb. Thanks!

Try replacing your file with the original 7.7 file.

I thought it was? Heh, thanks. I'll post if it doesn't work Embarassed

Okay, once I've put the original 7.7 file back into the admin folder in the forums module, I now get this error when trying to access forum administration...

It seems to have messed it up more. Is there any way to just remove everything and start over with a fresh install, without losing/corrupting the database?

Rename that file so it doesn't find it and see if it fixes it.

TeKKiE · Hangin' Around Joined: May 11, 2005 Posts: 48

Renamed index.php to index.old in modules/forums/admin/

404 File not found.

EDIT: That was noobish, I should have asked if you meant by renaming the common.php file or the index.php file. I'll wait until you respond.

BTW Thanks for the support, it's greatly appreciated.

Raven · Posted: Wed May 11, 2005 3:57 pm

rename the common.php file Smile

TeKKiE · Hangin' Around Joined: May 11, 2005 Posts: 48

Okay, I removed the common.php file from the directory, (I have a copy on temp directory) and now all I get is "file can't be accessed directly"

One more thing I've noticed now, is that when posting a comment, it doesn't match the theme any longer. It's now a white text box with the formatting options at the bottom (which don't work), and emoticons cannot be added.

The index file you saved as text has one error near the start, it should not have the following:

Code:

if (!eregi("modules.php", $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {
die ("You can't access this file directly...");

The file should be:

DoH! I had placed the wrong php file there. Okay, now with the php file you posted, and the common.php file removed from modules/forums/common.php, I get the following error...

Quote:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: message_die() in /home/craka/public_html/modules/Forums/admin/pagestart.php on line 55

If I leave the common.php file there, it gives many errors again as listed above.

Thanks

Do you think there could be something wrong with the database?

The file you had to remove was modules/forums/admin/common.php not modules/forums/common.php

Right. I'm sorry, typo. That is the file that I removed, and then I'm given the pagestart error.

Any ideas as of yet? I'm really wondering if I should just trash the whole thing, and start fresh 7.6, and just import my sql database.

If the rest of the site works check the constants.php file, near the bottom you will see the forum's db tables listed, they should all use $prefix and not $user_prefix except for the user db tables, also check your nuke config.php to make sure $prefix and $user_prefix both have the same value.

All looks as should be, chatserv.

Also, I just noticed, that there are two different icons in the admin panel for the website, both for forums. One in module administration, and the other in administration menu?! I don't recall there being two different icons to access the same area. If you select either, they both point to the same location, HOWEVER, one gives me the above 10~15 lines of error code, while the other gives me File 404

Very odd....

remove the forum admin files from nuke's admin/case, admin/link and admin/modules folders, if after this you still have problems pm me the site url a superuser account login data and ftp login data.

Thanks, Chatserv. I'll get that started as soon as I get home from work.

I do have one more question. I have a feeling that the forums didn't upgrade to 2.0.15 once the rest of the site was upgraded to 7.7.

I have downloaded a full version of 2.0.15, and was wondering, first of all, how I would tell if the forums were in fact version 2.0.15 or not, being that I cannot access the administration panel in the forums.

If I wipe out the forums currently on the site, and just install the fresh copy of 2.0.15, how many tables will be incorrect that I'll need to change?

Thanks again for the support!

Nuke 7.7 comes with bbtonuke 2.0.14

So then should I upgrade to 2.0.15? (This is only an option if your recommendations in your last post do not resolve the errors.)
