the user avatars aren't working properly..

it doesn't matter what size i set the limit to in admin user settings, the user can still upload any size image..

ie.. i've set a max avatar size of 100 width and 100 height and a max file size of 25000 bytes but users are still able to upload images larger than these dimensions..

when i make the recent topics block visible etc in the newbbex module.. people can't view the forum, they just get a white page!! what could be causing this? all permissions are set properly.. even I as webmaster get a white page when it's made visible..

i can't modify the member group (group 2) permissions.. i just get a forbidden message..

also same when i try to edit a user from admin.. altho finding the user 1st and then clicking edit works..

also when modules are installed or updated, it installs no problem, but it gives a white page when completed so i don't see the module MySQL installed tables etc etc..

every other group permission i am able to change without problems.. and i'm logged in as webmaster..

also i've tried updating the user.php and edituser.php files, without success..

ok, well that's all done.. now i have a clean groups_permissions table..

but that didn't cure the problem :(

I still can't access the edit user function.. (i can if i find the user and then click edit) but not from the floating menu etc.. which means i can't manually add a user myself to save from having to register..

the 2nd problem is i can't modify the registered users group.. i click on it and i get an error 500: internal server error, altho this is a page not found.. i don't get white pages on this server it just gives me that message..

if u do it the way i do it.. it shouldn't

what i did when i upgraded was to upload each file individually.. but b4 doing so, rename the file ur overwriting.. ie..

if u have to overwrite userinfo.php then rename userinfo.php to userinfo-old.php

do that for all the files ur overwriting.. then if anything shud go wrong, all u have to do is just change the file names back again and u have ur previous version..

if it involves a MySQL upgrade, then do a full dump of your database b4 hand, then upgrade the database.. again if any problems do arise, u got the backup to fully restore it..

i've had the exact same problem using the same versions.. i just spent 20 hours in/out of mysql, re uploading, editing files.. all to no avail..

I luv ipboard, but unfortunately i couldn't solve my problem.. as soon as i fixed 1 another appeared.. ie.. initially couldn't view user profiles.. then the PM system didn't work, then blank pages, then it wouldn't login to the forum.. even tho i was logged in on the site.. it wouldn't let anybody log in.. just reverted back to the login screen.. altho admin login worked perfect..

somebody told me to not use 1.23 ipb and get 1.21 version to use.. but i couldn't find that version anywhere.. so for now i've had to scrap the ipboard and am using newbbex forum.. probly not what u want to hear..

i have the same problem.. i've never been able to do batch uploads..

i'm presuming he's using myalbum-p

check your permissions on file access in ftp.. they may not be writable or executable.. chmod them to allow em to be written to especially the folders aswell..

that may work..

also i'd recommend updating to 2.05 or higher.. it's only a matter of over writing a few files.. get the update patches from the home page and click the 2.05.2 link and look for the update patches..

thanks m8,

i got it workin earlier after i posted with the user_links table.. i can now access the web master group edit.. except now i can't edit the registered users section..

cud anybody tell me the MySQL tables to update and with what.. gotta be in groups_users_links..

and the groups_permissions.. but i haven't edited that table to clear the useless rows..

i was wondering if i empty the groups_permissions table completely, would that reset all the group permissions to zero access? then if i manually edit each group and re tick the boxes would that work?

also.. I'm still unable to click the edit user in admin.. would clearing the permissions table and reticking the boxes cure that problem?

i'm having problems accessing the webmaster group.. everytime i click the group to modify i get a server 500 error.. this is the same when i try to edit users..

I'm wondering if it's cos i updated a few tables from my old site..

ie. i have 198 members so far!!

in Table xoops_group_permission

i have 364 rows in this table, some as follows..

`xoops_group_permission` VALUES (3786, 1, 68, 1, 'module_read')

`xoops_group_permission` VALUES (4192, 5, 25, 1, 'block_read')

`xoops_group_permission` VALUES (3785, 1, 68, 1, 'module_admin')

`xoops_group_permission` VALUES (3704, 1, 11, 1, 'system_admin')

in the next Table xoops_groups_users_link I have 593 rows!!

some as follows >

`xoops_groups_users_link` VALUES (1, 1, 1);
`xoops_groups_users_link` VALUES (2, 2, 1);
`xoops_groups_users_link` VALUES (3, 2, 3);
`xoops_groups_users_link` VALUES (4, 2, 4);
`xoops_groups_users_link` VALUES (8, 2, 6);
`xoops_groups_users_link` VALUES (6, 2, 5);
`xoops_groups_users_link` VALUES (7, 4, 3);
`xoops_groups_users_link` VALUES (9, 2, 7);
`xoops_groups_users_link` VALUES (10, 2, 8);
`xoops_groups_users_link` VALUES (593, 4, 1);

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

Could somebody explain exactly what these values are for in both tables and if they are set wrong, would this account for the errors i'm getting when trying to edit users and modify the web master group?
