Blocks Problem and Modules Problem

Hi People,

New here. My site

Only registered users can see links on this board!

The blocks on the site, when adding via the blocks admin. It just flashes off blank and nothing appears.

Also with the modules: I have lots of folders from my backup and they are not appearing in the list on the admin panel either.

Maybe the two problems are linked ?

Any help would be ideal.

Thanks in advance

Sorry can you just clarify what you mean by this?

It means its like it accepts the change (status saying "waiting for losers-server.com" data etc etc) then bang, flicks to the screen before without making these changes

Sounds like yopu may have a corrupted in there somewhere.
So, you are going to the admin screen, clicking the modules link to bring up the list of installed modules and the screen just redirects back to the sites front page?

I have restored my forum from another version but i think when i do this.. it fecks the blocks and modules up Sad

Enable error reporting in config.php and check error logs.

Make sure you got a good upload of all the files. FileZilla is a good ftp client, and it is free on SourceForge.net.

There's a switch in the config.php file.

Change $display_errors to true.

Is there anywhere i can pick these errors up from ?

Thanks

Getting at your error logs is host dependent. Ask your host how you can see them.

Had slightly the same problem m8 with ref your modules problem.

Did you upgrade from a previous version of Nuke?

I had previously installed "CZV4", I think it was, that added extra lines in nuke_modules table.

Have a look at this post

which helped me find the correct code in modules.php to compare to my database table.

Code:

$db->sql_query("insert into ".$prefix."_modules values (NULL, '$modlist[$i]', '$modlist[$i]', '0', '0', '1','0')");

NULL , modlist , modlist , 0 , 0 , 1 , 0

this example of the SQL insert is looking for 7 lines in the nuke_modules table.

It may be a good start to look at your modules.php file and compare that to how many lines you have in your table.

To correct the problem I found the CZ install.php and ran it to uninstall the extra lines, worked fine after.

Hope this helps some.

Thanks Trub,

I tried it and it doesnt seem to have made a difference.

I am very much considering a fresh start on the site. Is there anyway i can import the existing users into the database ? without the whole SQL import ?

Thanks alot

I started the site from scratch with another Nuke PNC 4.2

seems to be working without any problems Very Happy

Well its a shame you have decided to go for another package as RN is probably the most secure version out there at the moment and many people have managed to install it without any problems.

Also I note that PNC comes with vWar, which has had known vunerabilities in the past and therefore make sure you are using the most up to date versions.

I'm having some block and module weirdness also.

I'm working with a fresh, new install of raven 2.10.01 from the full installer package. Downloaded from

Message module... when I try to edit the original "Create a super user" message, changes are not saved. I deleted that message, and tried to create a new one. After entering the message and the title and clicking to "Save Message", I am taken to a blank white screen. And.. message not saved / visible in the message list or on the homepage.

Adding News stories to the news module appears to work OK.

The site is going to be a classified ads site, so I have tried installing some more modules. NukeC classifieds and ZClassifieds (want to try both out - see which one is best. Any opinions on this?)

The installations went well, followed the instructions to a T. The module icons are visible in the admin, but when I click on the "Modules Admin" to activate these modules, they are not added to the module list.

Blocks- I've tried to edit some blocks to be visible to Admin only, such as the Modules block. The change is not retained, and the block remains as visible to all visitors.

Furthermore, I can't add any new blocks. When I try to add a block from the file list, such as a "Nuke Sentinel Center" block, or the blocks that are installed with the classified ads modules, they are not saved, or visible in the blocks list.

I've tried reinstalling the whole package from scratch three times now. Always the same problems. Any suggestions to get me through this weirdness???

Thanks in advance.

Meoff, It really sounds like you did not execute each and every step within the installSQL.php installer script. Sounds to me like you forgot the NSN Groups step.

Edited: BTW, ALL steps except the last one are Required

Gremmie · Posted: Fri Jul 06, 2007 9:20 am

It would also help if you enable error reporting and check your logs. It may reveal something.
