Cannot Login to classifieds Admin CP or as Regular Member(FIXED) - Page 2

hi micheal this does not seem to fix the issue, if you log in it says log in successful, but it still shows login and no admin option!

i am using a phpbb intergration! Thanks!

Can you PM me a link to your site and a login to try? Also, can you PM me FTP info so I can try and upload a changed file (misc.php)?

pm sent thanks

Thanks, fixed it. I've had to update the forums/*.php files in the current build with some minor updates to get the login to work properly.

For everyone else, if you download the current build and upload your forums/*.php file, then it will fix your login issues.

mmmhhh,

strange, I just downlloaded classified again (5 minutes ago). I copied over my "old" classified 2.4 version now 3 files/folders:

1. The forum folder incl. content
2. misc.php
3. pp-inc.php

(I use internal registration only, but I like to have all files up to date).

But still problems: When I login, it sais login successfully, but guides me to the same index screen again.

Did I miss a file that has changed?

I now made a fresh install wih all new files and new mysql database. I get an error (I think it is step 3):

/mypathtoclassifieds/classified/install.php on line 952
I cannot connect to the Members database.

???

Grab the current build and upload the forums/sellerspost.php file; the connect error means that the server cannot connect to the database info you provided for the user database.

Michael,

I downloaded the current build and did a fresh install of the program and although I have noticed some improvement I still cannot access the admincp.

I enter my user name and password and click submit and it says I logged in successfully, but then takes me back to the main page again showing me not logged in. A continouse loop.

Also the "Page cannot be displayed" error has gone away when clicking on the login link in the upper right hand corner.

So that problem is now out of the way.

I just made an update in the past few minutes - are you using the internal system? You'll need to grab the current sellerspost.php. If that does not work, can you PM me your FTP info and a login id so I can try and look at it directly?

dcpaq2 · July 5th, 2005, 01:09 PM

Michael,

I just redownloaded the sellers.php file as you requested and I can now access the admincp and it shows me logged in.

I will test things out to make sure there are no other bugs, but for now it looks like you have this problem resolved.

Thank you so much! I look forward to using this program.

I will keep you posted.

Doug

The 2.4 update included some radiaclly different code in how we handle variables that are passed in; we used to lump all variables into globals and it didnt matter if they came from cookies, posts or URLs - but in the bigger picture this created some potentials for abuse. Some cleaver people with alot of time on their hands figured out some ways to cause some mischief at various times in our history; the only real way to deal with this was an update that filtered out any noise, kept only the variables we wanted and in the format we expected.

Changing to this new system invovled alot of new code and, unfortunately, we didn't catch every change that needed to be made. 2.4 was released last week and we're having a few issues making sure that every variable is indeed declared properly when it is needed.

I would never knowingly release an update that I thought would cause me more headaches than it solved; so in many sense I share your frusturation as I am often up late working very hard to ensure that all the code we need is in place. But, given the sheer number of options and the number of integrations - its not always possible to get everything. I missed a few variables in the integrations I didn't test and that's unfortunate.

I am committed to fixing every issues that needs to be addressed in a timely manner - even in the middle of the night or over a holiday weekend; the past few days have just been longer because Chuck is on a tropical vacation recharing his batteries.

We're closer and hopefully any other minor things that pop up will be resolved quickly.

Michael,

I for one would like to say THANK YOU!!! for your commitment and support of this program. I truely do appreciate all your efforts in trying to make this program work and being successful and I am sure there are lots of others here that feel the same way.

The main reasons I stick with Vbulletin and Photo Post products is because of the integration, amount of control in the admin cp (enable/disable features on default install), and the support. Those are the strong reasons and if it wasn't for those I wouldn't be using them.

Keep up the great work! We really do appreciate your efforts.

I will be testing the program out now that I can access the admincp and can login and will let you know if any other issue come up.

Again thanks for everything.

Doug

Michael P · July 5th, 2005, 01:36 PM

Thank you, Doug; I'll be glad when Chuck gets back this week....

dcpaq2 · July 5th, 2005, 01:41 PM

Your very welcome.

Thanks for your efforts Michael.
I guess as new license owners it was frustrating to think we bought a program that was flawed, when the reality was that we bought in during a crucial change.

I did a complete fresh install which went like clockwork. The only error I have is a bad link on the main image in the add. The thumbnails are visible, but not the larger image? I think it'll be a permission set wrongly or something stupid, but I'm checking now.

Thanks for your efforts,
Steve.

Just posted on your other thread about on-the-fly watermarks being enabled.

I apologize for all the issues over the past few days, I'm equally frusturated over them. In the past we had almost no participation in our Classifieds BETAs, so I didn't even try it this time around not expecting anyone to try it.

I think we are close and have solved most of the major issues; now its just making sure we get all the vars typecast'd and clean up any old links that were missed.

I'll do my best to post updated files as quickly as possible and tell you which ones have changed and will post a 2.41 update as soon as it calms down.

dcpaq2 · July 6th, 2005, 11:25 AM

Do we really need an update to 2.41? Why not just keep updating the files like youve been doing and then release an update only after everything is fine tuned and ironed out?

Just wondering, too many updates is not good either.

Doug

Michael P · July 6th, 2005, 12:30 PM

That's exactly what I am doing.

dcpaq2 · July 6th, 2005, 12:47 PM

oh ok. sorry.
