CNB Your Account - 4.3 - Cannot access administration panel

New Member Joined: Oct 24, 2004 Posts: 4

Wondering if anyone else has come across the same problem.

I've been running CNB YA 4.2.1 and the only problem I've had with it was teh user promotion not working (tried the fix out on some boards but still didn't work).

Now I upgraded to the latest CNB Your Account 4.3 and I cannot access the administration panel.

If i'm at the main website (news), and I click administration, it just reloads the main page. Any other way I try to get into the admin.php does not work.

I've since had to go back to using 4.2.1 just so I can use the admin panel.

(All of the other stuff but admin stuff in YA works with 4.3, and is accessible, only admin stuff ANYWHERE cannot be used)

Thanks for the help,

You might see this at the top of the files
if (!eregi("modules.php", $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'])) {
die ("You can't access this file directly...");
}

Which means its intended to be run on the 7.5 Patched series files. You can either update to Chatservs Patched Files or change $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] to PHP_SELF

i installed the Chatservs Patched 7.5...i'm pretty sure, i'll try it again though, if not I'll follow your suggestion.

Thanks a lot

Ok that was my best guess at least. Nothing else in the script should really interfere with admin access at all.

Am I the only one who thinks they are becoming a mini FB who ads a new feature with every release but never fixes the old bugs?

I've only installed it on a test site and passed over previous versions for one reason or another. But this one is starting to come together with the features I'd like to have. But there is room for some better variable checking and the siggies display definitely has to be tweaked to play nice with the forums. I think there is a great future for it once the buggies are squarshed.

Well things they are adding are great and I would really love to have at my one and ONLY profile section for the site but I just downloaded the latest version(4.3) for 7.4 and it came with same bugs that 4.1 had

yah, i dunno.

i reinstalled 7.5 patched, made all the changes, then installed 4.3.1, and couldn't access admin panel. installed 4.2.1 and could access it fine (albeit no promote ability)

frustrating. when i get home from work today i'll try the PHP_SELF bit and let ya know

Strange. I'd check your error log maybe theres a clue there.

I can Promote with the beta2 files on 7.5 I'll try them on my live site which is 7.4 yet.

Yep its an official bug for sure. Expect something on it soon. Basically the code is only good for 7.5 for that function right now.
