ok done , but no effect agan.

Let's be sure we are on the same page. You have 7.6pl3.1 installed and your theme isn't displaying the right hand blocks like on the home page. Correct?

Yes Correct

Raven · Posted: Sat Oct 15, 2005 11:28 am

Those changes should allow the right blocks to appear whenever a module is loaded in the browser window. So, if News is your home page and you have added $index=1; to News/index.php then when you pull up News you should see the right blocks.

the blocks show up when you click to view a module like News as you say, but the right blocks dont show up on the home page.

lol and looks rubish, cos now ive got the news all squashed in the middle of the blocks, were on that page view I would normally have no right blocks so the news could fit with the votingf on the left and print freindly block etc.

ok, but now ive got the news module all screwed up with the right blocks showing when they shouldnt even though ive removed the $index=1 in the index.php for news module?

Did you comment out this line also define('INDEX_FILE', true);?

BTW, donations are always welcomed Wink

I didnt but that line is in index.php ...

$modpath .= "modules/$name/".$mod_file.".php";
if (file_exists($modpath)) {
include($modpath);
} else {
define('INDEX_FILE', true);

Also my account goes to a white page and I cant login as a user or vote, and proberly a tone of other things I havent looked at, what am I missing now "SLAMS HEAD ON DESK AND SHOUTS WERE CAN I FIND A LOWER VER OF THE PATCH!"

Also I cant get in the forum it gives this msg..

message_die() was called multiple times. This isn't supposed to happen. Was message_die() used in page_tail.php?

ok i Just ran upgrade.php and the forum works but my account and poll voting are still going to white pages and the blocks are still showing on pages they shouldnt.

Raven · Posted: Sat Oct 15, 2005 11:57 am

You only need to comment it out in News/index.php for the moment as that's what you're asking about. Make sure that in News/index.php, $index=1; and define('INDEX_FILE', true); are both commented out. Then, as long as you have made no other errors/changes other than adding $index=1; in the 2 files I told you earlier, everything should be working.

You need to comment out the define('INDEX_FILE', true); and $index=1; in every module that you do not want right blocks on.

right well the define('INDEX_FILE', true); is now commented out in news, but still shows up and the fourm index.php dosent even have that line in it soo I cant comment it out to stop it showing up. :@

I think im gonna give up on this Sad

Raven · Posted: Sat Oct 15, 2005 12:18 pm

Are you using your theme or a standard theme?

alexwise · Regular Joined: Oct 15, 2005 Posts: 80

My theme

Raven · Posted: Sat Oct 15, 2005 12:25 pm

And in News/index.php you do not have $index=1;?

alexwise · Regular Joined: Oct 15, 2005 Posts: 80

Nope, I just looked with a diff theme and the blocks do not show up on news anymore anymore.

Its deff this theme screwing things up.

ok thanks for your help but im gonna give up on this 3.1 patch, I think for me with this theme its gonna make more sence to go for a lower patch so I dont get this problem with the blocks, thats if I can find 2.9 or 3.0 ive looked evry were.

Why does Sentinal need these patches ?
Ive seen so many posts about problems with the patches, cant sentinal run on its own, perhaps with these fixes included?

Raven · Posted: Sat Oct 15, 2005 12:36 pm

The problem is not in the patches, per se. The patches are there for a very good reason - security. NukeSentinel does not need these patches as much as it works with them. Otherwsie we would constantly be writing routines to patch each others code. Both serve distinctive purposes. Frankly, if it were me, I'd rather spend a few bucks to get the theme fixed, knowing that my site is as secure as it can be. I think you are making an unwise decision, but that's just my opinion Wink

Im not saying the patches are usless I think its good they are made to fix holes in the orig code, thats why Im trying to get it to work.
But ive spent 3 days on this, and its not my website lol, and some patch with Sentinel is better than ver 6.8 with no security which is what we curently have.

But by the looks of things im not gonna be able to find a lower patch Sad

Contact Chatserv directly. If anyone has copies, he does. But, I still think you (or I) may just have missed something because those changes are all that should be required. Oh well, good luck.
