Just to clarify, you don't want users to upload their own? User's can upload their own avatar if that's allowed in admin -> system -> preferences -> User Preferences. Then if a user wants their own, they just download from one site and upload to yours.

Anyways, if that's not what you're interested in, then the answer is no... it could be a dirty hack.

Hope that helps,
Keith

Re: How can I change the XOOPS Support and XOOPS FAQ Links?

Hi Peter,

(first, note that you have inadvertantly included a period at the end of your /html. ... that means that the link doesn't work unless you remove the period).

I see you're new... welcome. The links you see on the top of your page are part of the "default" theme. You've got a steep learning curve ahead of you, so ask lots of questions. Here's a quick tutorial on themes:

Themes are found in the physical directory:

/html/themes/[themename]/*

You can edit out the links you were discussing by opening the following file in an editor (notepad / dreamweaver) and deleting them:

/html/themes/default/theme.html

You can also experiment with just applying other themes. You should already have a couple to choose from, or else you can download quite a few from this site (see download->themes).

You switch the theme by changing your site preferences:

(when logged in as admin)
User Menu -> Administration...
System (button on left) -> Preferences...
General Prefrences -> Default theme (ok)

That should be enough to get you on your feet. You'll have probably noticed if you went through these processes that the theme file is full of wierd scripting... this is the XOOPS "Smarty Template" scripting... again, a steep learning curve, but you'll aprecaite it as you come to know it.

Happy Xoopsing,
Keith

Hmmm... hopefully we can get some support from someone who knows php / newbb.... I was kinda just hoping the problem was just a single-instance anomoly, but I think you're right, it is a bug that:

a) has already been fixed, we just havn't found the fix yet, or
b) needs to be fixed.

So, hopefully smart people can help!

Thanks,
Keith

I just checked your site and couldn't find the error... all the same, here's a general check;

Have you been manually editing Forum ID in the database? If so, you may have caused other related tables (topics, posts/text) to go out of sync (I did that when I first began hacking). The easiest solution is to re-order your ForumIDs as before... the more difficult solution is to determine the process of updating ForumID links in other tables to refer to the correct ones.

Similar problems might have been caused by manually changing (in SQL) any other forum table.

Not sure if that will help, but it's the best I can think of for now.

Cheers,
Keith

Sorry, I'm trying to find the thread discussing this. I've just upgraded (finally) from 2.0.3 to 2.0.5; though I had to selectively keep/throw lines in my modified newbb. I'm getting the following error:

I know I saw this discussed elsewhere, but I couldn't find it.

Ok, if anyone else gets this, it's probably because you did what I did and deleted a user row from the database without realizing that that user is also linked to group_user_link... which is where groups.php gets its listing of users in the group.

So, it's a data integrity issue.

I recommend updating groups.php to check:

if (the uid of this groups_users_link is invalid)
then (do something other than throw an error; either put a fully-descriptive message like "UserID x has been deleted from user table; please delete records from groups_users_link table where uid=x" or simply delete the extra entries automatically)

In any case, glad to have it solved.

Good day,
Keith

It hasn't been my weekend - just got this error too. Any ideas on the cause? I'm going to CVS right now.

First, great thanks to mvandam for his post. I have found an easy and lossless solution (big grins). While I can't guarantee this will work for everyone, you can at least try this:

1. Turn on blocks/mysql debug
2. IF you see any error message related to:

Can't open file: '*_bb_posts_text.MYI'. (errno: 145)
Can't open file: '*_bb_posts.MYI'. (errno: 145)
... etc...

Then that's a corrupted table file... I'm not convinced it is/isn't caused by new_bb, though I have a feeling it's a MySQL problem... the odd thing is that it appears to happen to all forums (IPB, phpBB, etc).

My initial problem in tracking the problem came because my error was in a different table than previous complainants. I can only assume this solution holds true for any table (though db admins out there can clarify beyond my knowledge)

So, what to do? Don't delete the table, don't restore from archive, simply type into command-line / MyPhpAdmin:

repair table [table_name];

Done, fixed, over with. I had my server support (who I usually trust) telling me my only option was to restore from archive - WRONG!

Hope no-one runs into this problem themselves, and if you do, hope you found this thread quickly, and hope it worked.

Many thanks to all sources of info which supported this solution,

Keith

The site has been up for a couple months with 1825 posts. All-of-a-sudden today the new_bb stopped working:

- no longer allows posts (give message: "Could not insert forum post"... which
- no longer shows posts (or threads).... no discernable error message given.

I'm running 2.0.3 still (I'm hoping to upgrade soon when I get someone who can work with CVS), but this is a high-traffic site and I could really use a solution ASAP (if not sooner).

I have found that this problem has occured before (at least, it looks like the same problem):

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

https://xoops.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=12155&forum=7#forumpost49044

... soooo.... there doesn't seem to be a solution in these posts! Did these people just abandon their forums?

My db version is: MySQL 4.0.16

I've run the check / repair / analyze / optomize features on the table, and none of them did anything.

Please, if anyone has any ideas I'd be appreciative. While my forum module is 2.0.3, it is also fairly hacked. I used the reply-below-thread hack... I'm not sure which other ones.

Thanks,
Keith
