The error message is coming from this define in /modules/newbb/language/english/main.php

define("_MD_INVALID_SUBMIT","Invalid submission. You could have exceeded session time. Please re-submit or make a backup of your post and login to resubmit if necessary.");


The version of that file is

Quote:

// $Id: main.php,v 1.6 2005/05/19 12:21:45 phppp Exp $


but I cannot tell exactly what version of newbb it is. Definitely it is one of the versions by 'phppp', because that name appears in many files.

It is either 1.16 or 1.16a, I cannot tell, here is the /modules/newbb/xoops_version.php file (with the email address changed)

    if(!$time_valid) echo "errorMsg">".sprintf(_MD_POSTING_LIMITED,$xoopsModuleConfig['post_timelimit'])."

    echo "both" />";
}


You would need to find out where the vars $token_valid and $time_valid are set. It appears they are both set in the same file (/modules/newbb/post.php), but I do not understand _how_ they are set.

Ok, downloaded CBB 1.16 , then compared the source code, here are the results:

the extra image files don't concern me, but what are the extra php files ? Are they still hanging around from the auto-login hack ?

Also, someone suggested going into admin and doing an update on the 'newbb' module. Considering that I have been informed of the following settings in admin:

System Admin> Modules newbb version 1.15

and the source code from the site does match cbb/newbb 1.16 (except for a few files ?? ), then I would agree that doing the update in admin would be advisable.

Your /cache directory has an adminmenu.php in it, which has '1.15' in it, so delete this file /cache/adminmenu.php, clear browser cache, and do the newbb update again.

Please tell us if there are any error messages from the update.

It appears the actual error message is coming from the var $token_valid having a false value.

Lines 81 to 87 of /newbb/post.php as follows

$token_valid = false;
if(class_exists("XoopsSecurity")){
    $token_valid = $GLOBALS['xoopsSecurity']->check();
}else{ // backward compatible
    if( !empty($_SESSION['submit_token']) && !empty($_POST['post_valid']) && $_POST['post_valid']==$_SESSION['submit_token'] ) $token_valid = true;
    $_SESSION['submit_token'] = null;
}


and there is a fair bit about sessions in the file (/class/xoopssecurity.php) that is used to determine what is returned from ..

$token_valid = $GLOBALS['xoopsSecurity']->check();


I think a few other people mentioned sessions ?

Why not just upgrade your forum to the latest version, which is at phppp's site?

Make a complete backup of your files and database first of course, as usual.

Ok done that... the only thing that did happen was "This is the first tme you have logged into the Admin panel"

After update module newbb still showing as 1.15.

Unless the current problem can be sorted out with the current config, it really is a waste of time to upgrade newbb, because the problem seems to be, not actually _sourced_ from newbb, although the 'result' (the error message) is happening in newbb.

The particular problem is not common to XOOPS 2.0.13.2 + cbb 1.16, therefore it is most likely something else causing the problem. The owner of the site had absolutely no problems with this prior to installing the 'auto login hack' (which is mentioned in these posts), therefore our suspicions are something not 'backed out' from that.
