A security token was missing or mismatched.

Hey, I didn't not find anything in the installation manual that shows how to get rid of this error ? I just bough photopost 2 days ago and installed it today but whenever i want to upload a picture to the gallery, i get this message. How to fix this ?

Did you install a customer skin?
Are you using it with VBulletin?

I had same issue and found out it was my Skin, it has to be updated so I am waiting once again

I've ticket vb and they told me that photopost need to update their product and add that missing security part.

I dont get that issue on my test site and as instructed maybe its a vb hack causing this but you can surely try editing your uploadphoto template and down the bottom with all the hidden input variables add this one. There is nothing about our uploadphoto script that uses anything in the vb posting interface.

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Niyuka · May 4th, 2008, 11:13 AM

Hey Chuck thanks but where exactly can i past that code ? under which part ?

Here is the template

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Niyuka · May 4th, 2008, 11:15 AM

when i tried to add that codebefore this line ::

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

This is what i get ::

Quote:

Warning: fopen(/home/nihonomaru.com/public_html/gallery/templates/vb3enhanced//uploadphoto.tmpl) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/nihonomaru.com/public_html/gallery/adm-misc.php on line 2329

Unable to write changes, permissions on uploadphoto.tmpl are not set properly.

Chuck S · May 4th, 2008, 11:17 AM

Your trying to edit the templates from admin but when you installed the software you did not the templates to writable

You want to place the line where noted yes so ftp to your site go to the templates/vb3enhanced directory and set the tmpl files to 666 permissions then you can go to admin and edit the templates correctly.

Niyuka · May 4th, 2008, 11:23 AM

I did all that and added that code before this line ::

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

This is how it is saved in my upload template

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

and still i can't upload, i get security token

Chuck S · May 4th, 2008, 11:50 AM

What is the url and a login?

Niyuka · May 4th, 2008, 11:54 AM

I've pmed you these info

Niyuka · May 4th, 2008, 01:48 PM

Hey Chuck,this is what vbulletin staff Jake Bruce told me:

Quote:

it's a matter of updating photopost for compatibility with the new version.

Niyuka · May 4th, 2008, 05:44 PM

Hey chuck, also they suggested to try this addon, it fixes all my forum custom skins so i don't get this missing security token on my forum but instead i still get it on my gallery like when trying to upload a picture, post a comment etc..

http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=176985

So is there a way so that addon would add the security token to everything except the gallery ? May be that could fix this gallery issue ? I am trying to add photopost to the exception list but what is the name of photopost scrip ?

would it look like this ?

Quote:

$_icsrf_exclude[] = 'photopost';

Because i tried that and it didn't work still.

----------------------------------------------------------

However, this modification relies on the use of vBulletins print_output() function, some modifications will not use this for several reasons, and in these rare instances this modification will add protection to the scripts while not being able to add security tokens, you can disable auto-protection script by script if you find this occurs for you. Simply edit the plugin '[I.CSRF] Set CSRF Flag' and you'll find in the code an example on how to add a script to the exemption list. For instance, if you wanted to add the script 'MY_COOL_SOFTWARE' to the exemption list, simply add the following code:
Code:

Quote:

$_icsrf_exclude[] = 'MY_COOL_SOFTWARE';

Under this code:
Code:

Quote:

$_icsrf_exclude = array();

This is what http://infernotechnologies.net company told me:

Iain says:
I asked ZT about it

Iain says:
he said photopost doesn't integrate properly with VB

Iain says:
so it won't work, theres not much we can do about it

Iain says:
you'd have to ask those guys to fix the mod basically

Also vbulletin.com told me that third party addons would need to upgrade their products.

So is there a solution for this for ppl who run 3.6.10. Because i can't use the gallery like this with the new vb version

Chuck S · May 4th, 2008, 08:39 PM

Here is what I have found. Photopost Pro does not use anything but the vb header footer and style so we dont have to do anything with vb's security thing. Other users have even stated this the only time they had issues was with hacks and they needed to remove or alter those hacks. I just upgraded my site to 3.7 a few minutes ago and posted a photo and made a comment on it no issues at all

Feel free to login and try yourself with testing and testing.

Hey chuck, Well who may i contact now, i have contact the auther of this addon zero tollerance the creator of rpg inferno and he told me that photopost staff need to update their product, because his addon fixes all the forum issues , custome skins, everything but when enable it won't allow me to upload picture to the gallery etc...

http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=176985

Also i ticked vbulliten and Jack Bruce told me that u need to wait for an update of photopost to fix this matter.

So i don't know what to do now.

Chuck S · May 4th, 2008, 08:49 PM

Well as I am clearly showing with a link and login Photopost Pro has not a single issue with vbulletin 3.7

We dont use any vb stuff that does the security stuff. All our stuff is handled in our own coding as we only load the header footer and style in vb.

I would suggest you turn off your hacks and plugins and see if the issue goes away.

You might also want to post a link and login here.

http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=176985

but then on my forum skins , i get the security token message in my search engine, when moving thread, etc..

Chuck S · May 4th, 2008, 08:53 PM

We do not use any vb templates or anything here is what I am saying. Feel free to post on my site. It is a completely stock vb 3.7 with a stock photopost pro 6.02 no hacks and I dont see any issues here.

As I said feel free to post a link to your site and a login for us to try an upload.
