De.scription and Message

Hello...I installed the temp-patches for Cracker-Tracker and that seems to have cleared up the problem of the security errors...however...

there are still two other problems...

1. now I am able to create categories/forums...but...they only appear in forum management...not on the boards...the boards still have the original ' test ' category/forum?

2. I noticed that while creating/editing categories/forums there is a bottom section that only appears sometimes...the permissions section...sometimes it's there and most of the time it isn't?

any help on these issues would be appreciated.

Thank-you,

Hmm, I'd have to have admin access

You can pm me with the information or wait for one who might have seen this before.

check your chmods. If you have a linux/unix server then
includes/def_auth.php
/def_ icons
/def_qbar
/ def_themes
/ def_tree
/ def_words
should all be set to 666
if you have a windows server, they should be set to read/writable

once they are correctly set, go to ACP/Forum Admin/managment+ and use the bottom resync function.
You should also check your other file pemissions. You can find them here

Hi, I was having the same problem, followed all these steps, hit resync, and now all I have anywhere is a white page. Can anyone help?

re-upload a new def_tree.php, chmod to 666 and re-sync

[codyshell]

Thanks. That works for a second, then I resync, and it does it again. Any ideas?

for some reason your server doesnt like the cache function of Categories Hierarchy.

open includes/functions_categories_hierarchy.php

find

Line number On/Off | Expand/Contract | Select all

define('CACHE_TREE', true);

replace with

Line number On/Off | Expand/Contract | Select all

//  define('CACHE_TREE', true);

this will disable the caching of your forum structure but should not impact page load dramaticly

ps... I also noticed this error on your index

[code]Warning]

This is due to "system" being disabled in your php.ini
I have been told not to worry about it as disabling system is a security measure and it is not necessary for your site to function properly

lol, Thanks for the first part, but my site is http://www.dchsnjrotc.com. Thanks for the info though!
