No Admin on RP 3.1

[TheSonic]

Hi,

i updated my PhotoPost to 5.14 and ReviewPost to 3.01 (from 2.9).

All fine in PhotoPost, but in ReviewPost i can not login to the AdminPanel.

Error 1:
If i click "Admin" i only get the Loginscreen from ReviewPost... Also the default ReviewPost-Logo is displayed, NOT the vb-Header.

Users can use the system without problems (entering Reviews, delete Reviews, etc)

I deleted all cookies, tried different browsers (so i am sure that nothing is cached) - doesnt work at all.

I think it's not a problem with cookiedomain, because 2.9 worked well i didn't changed that setting... also PhotoPost updated well i can access the Adminpanel.

Error 2:
showcat.php is missing (recovered last version in Archive of v 2.84)
This worked for me.

Error 3:
"Thumbnail missing" is no longer displayed on the index-page.
There is also a mysterious "empty" review on the index... only says "by"


Please drop me a note how to fix this.. The system is running, but i can't control it, because Admin is not working.
All update-scripts are executed, all files are replaced (except showcat.php)

Thanks

1. Your cookies are set incorrectly if you can not access admin panel. Number one mistake. More than likely you have not entered the correct cookie prefix of bb if this is a default vb. Double check your vblicense number also to make sure you have not entered customer info. You have a new integration file just like the doc's say so you need to get to admin and set the integration stuff

2. There is definately a showcat.php file in the build and you must use it

3. Make sure your uploading all the new php and template files. There are ton's of changes with this upgrade and you must have all the new files

Indexpage and showcat pages should be fine

1) thats strange... 2.9 worked and i had set the prefix...
I just checked it using PHPMyAdmin and the field was empty... PhotoPost kept the seeting. Is the updatescript killing this field ? Hm...
Nevermind, after adding the value via PhpMyAdmin, i was able to login into Admin. Not checked the settingm because i never had trozuble with it after setting it once

2. Yes, fault of the unpacker, sorry...

3. after error (2) i checked all files to be their... i reuploaded everything to be sure... Still "no thumbnail available" is missing. What file is it.. ?

Thanks for the fast response, BTW
My german Languagefile not working anymore... I will translate it again and make it available for other customers.

1. Interesting here is the query in the upgrade unless I am missing something in the old config file thats the variable name

$query[] = "INSERT INTO {$rp_db_prefix}settings VALUES (215,'Forum Cookie Prefix', 'cookieprefix', 'Some Default values vB3: bb, phpBB2: phpbb2mysql, Threads: w3t_', '$cookieprefix', 2, 13)";

2. okay

3. I would have to see your site to suggest your issue as I am stabbing in the dark. It works I know that much
