Can't minimize categories after 5.11 upgrade

[atlantic2]

After upgrading from 5.1 to 5.11 seems users can't minimize the categories on the index page anymore. When they do it gives an error. Has happened on multiple sites but here is one.

in misc.php add the code in bold

typecast($_REQUEST, array('whoami' => STRING,'do' => STRING, 'action' => STRING, 'photo' => INT, 'cat' => STRING, 'report' => INT,

Didn't work. This is what I have.

typecast($_REQUEST, array('whoami' => STRING,'do' => STRING, 'action' => STRING, 'photo' => INT, 'cat' => STRING, 'report' => INT,
'sub' => INT, 'thumb' => INT, 'sort' => INT, 'sl' => STRING, 's' => STRING,
'si' => STRING, 'name' => STRING, 'cat' => STRING, 'catp' => STRING, 'page' => INT,
'ppuser' => INT, 'what' => STRING, 'when' => STRING, 'sorttime' => INT, 'perpage' => INT,
'limit' => STRING,'way' => STRING,'sortby' => STRING,
'implode' => INT, 'expand' => INT, 'pid' => INT, 'login' => STRING));

In index.php as well add this after this line

typecast($_REQUEST, array('page' => INT, 'cat' => INT));

ADD THIS BELOW

typecast($_COOKIE, array('ppcollapse' => STRING));

Then back in misc.php add to the $cookie line in bold

typecast($_COOKIE, array('ppcollapse' => STRING,'printphotos', STRING, 'ppperpage' => INT));

Getting closer. When you try to collapse it still gives a error screen but when you go back to the site it's collapsed.

I think you have not done all THREE edits then. Lets go through them again

in misc.php add the code in bold

typecast($_REQUEST, array('whoami' => STRING,'do' => STRING, 'action' => STRING, 'photo' => INT, 'cat' => STRING, 'report' => INT,

typecast($_COOKIE, array('ppcollapse' => STRING,'printphotos', STRING, 'ppperpage' => INT));

In index.php as well add this after this line

typecast($_REQUEST, array('page' => INT, 'cat' => INT));

ADD THIS BELOW

typecast($_COOKIE, array('ppcollapse' => STRING));

That got it. Working with another file that didn't have the step from yesterday.

Thanks

No problem know the fix was right

I'm running the latest build, downloaded this evening. I noticed that I could not collapse or expand my catagories. I remembered reading this thread and made the changes prescribed and now it works.

Is this something that only happens on certain systems or with certain settings or was the fix just not implemented into the current build?

[Chuck S]

Just because I post a fix does not mean it goes right into the build. I send these to the developer and he includes them. Sometimes that can take a bit.

Hey, after looking at the dates I see I was a bit fast on the draw. I was thinking I had read this thread a couple of weeks ago. The dates indicate a couple of days ago. My bad
