The autologin feature has now been added to the core on CVS. Thanks to all who have contributed on this hack. This will be present in 2.0.4 which is to be released very soon.


Hopefully the version in the core will work. I haven't been able to get any of the hacks to work on my system, and I've noticed a couple of other people say the same thing. Makes me wonder if it's related to the state of the registers.

I'm excited to hear 2.0.4 is coming soon! (Any hints on how soon...? )

Re: "Could not insert forum post"

Sorry, I don't understand the question...what 'php, mysql, and the forum post table' do you need to look at? Just check out humbersideonline.com for the 'forum post table', it's on the top of the front page. For the others, I'm not entirely sure what you mean.

Thanks again.

I hope that doesn't mean that we should keep session data for a year.

I think that we should at least add a config option in the preferences to be able to set how long auto login cookies can be valid. I also think that this should be an optional feature since this could potentially become a security hole.

Catz,

Good idea. I've only seen 2-3 cases of this, but maybe that is already common enough to warrant doing something about it. As far as I can tell, there is nothing inherently 'wrong' with how XOOPS interacts with the database to be causing this.


I agree just been looking throu the code just now and 'everything' seems to be as it should (Where have I heard that before lol).

I suspect certain versions of PHP/mysql on certain platforms have bugs which allow tables to become corrupted when things are not shut down correctly or when multiple users post simultaneously. This is just a guess. Personally I have had this problem not with XOOPS but with another script (phpwiki running under linux, MySQL 3.23, php 4.1.2), where a table suddenly is corrupted for no obvious reason.


It just seems wierd that this is only happening to a few people?? I have yet to come across this myself (or any other part of Xoops) even with the updates I have performed on this module and I think this one could be a bit tricky in tracking down (Still looking thou).

Quote:

We could add an admin link to 'check' and 'repair' the tables (probably ALL XOOPS tables, not just forums). But I've observed that 'repair table' can sometimes lose a significant amount of data (mysql command-line will tell you this ahead of time). In these situations you really need to go through *all* the e.g. forums tables and make sure everything is properly cross-referenced and delete data for partially lost records (e.g. if you have the post title but the 'text' is gone). I'm not sure an admin 'button' can be written sufficiently well that it does the right thing in the general case.


I agree with you and on second thoughts it could make a bad situation even worse (As has happened to myself).

I will look into this and see what I can come up with anyway.

The poster of the orginal problem has reported that this has not fixed the problem, so maybe we should start looking at other area's on this one?

Anyone else who has had this issue, could you post a brief summary of the problem and your fix, and whether you lost any database records or experienced other symptoms after the fix? Anyone have any ideas *why* this sometimes happens?

Thanks!


David: Could you post your php, MySQL and the forum post table and contents here for us to look at?

Cheers

Re: "Could not insert forum post"

Repairing the tables has done nothing, and I posted in that previous thread and didn't recieve any help, that's why I'm beginning this one.

I do appreciate all of your help so far.

Just wondering about this, there seems to be a lot of posts and topics regarding this problem and I am wonder if this could be 'software' related?

Also, maybe we could add a link in admin to repair the table and save users time in the future?

Just a quick question about this hack:

It seems that the 'remember-me cookie' lifetime and the session lifetime have the same value. Would it be better to separate these so that someone can remain 'logged in' for a long time (e.g. 1 year) without tying up resources (HTTP_SESSION_VARS) for that user. Or have I misinterpretted something? (I haven't had a chance to look at all the modifications very carefully yet.)

Just to keep these forums a little organized, here is a link to the original thread:

https://xoops.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=11136&forum=7

Since it 'suddenly started happening', it really sounds like a database error as suggested in the above thread. Have you run 'check table <table_name>' and/or 'repair table <table_name>' for the relevant tables? You will need some way to access the database such as command-line MySQL or phpmyadmin or mysqlfront or something like that...

Shijk:

You can't find it because it's not defined. In the default stylesheet the selector fieldset is not included. However, if you see the files theme_blockcenter_c.html, theme_blockcenter_l.html, and theme_blockcenter_r.html (that are also part of the theme, of course), you'll see the selector invoked, though not defined.

So the solution is to add it to the stylesheet just as I suggested.

Cheers.
