Hey guys..

For some reason the post count on my sites have reset to -1.

Do you know why it did that and do you know how to reset it back to the original numbers?

Hi Biteronboard

The posts field in what I guess would be a basic XOOPS db table are all set to -1. The db table is user_profile. All 200+ entries in that table have the posts = -1.

I know that recently in the last week or so that this was not this way.

I noticed the issue first while perusing my forum which is cbb 3.01.

I assume I can go to a recent DB backup and restore the posts field, but I am curious as to what caused this.

UPDATE:

I have found an old db backup that has the correct number of posts listed. The question is now, how do I go about inserting the data from the old db for the posts field into my current db?

Thanks for the help.

I have the same problem. All post counts resetted to -1.
Running XOOPS 2.2.4 and CBB Version 3.07.

What are the odds, that some people here have currently the same problem.

Ok, for now I have found a script here on xoops.org to sync the users.




thanks

esxoops.com (xoops 2.2.x) recently got the same problem!
Could be an unknow vulnerability? Is very casual the same issue at same time and ofcourse in different sites.

yeap, im nearly sure its a complicated XOOPS 2.2 bug
sync_users_xoops22_xoops20
upload it to modules/profile/admin/sync.php and run directly in your browser.of course you should be logged in as webmaster.

Hi again :)

Thanks for confirming this is an issue.

I hand entered my posts information into my database to correct the error. It has now occurred again. It seems to coincide with a bogus registration by what I would call a spam bot that posts in the comment section of my news stories in my News module.

This bot just recently came and left a couple of post and lo and behold I have the -1 posts again.

I tried the script and it seemed to work well on the lower level post, but as for my posts (350+) it only restored that count to about 160.

Does anyone have a way to prevent this from happening yet? Can anyone confirm that it is linked to bot spam?

Just found this thread.....it is the same guy that I referred to as a spam bot. go here https://xoops.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=59144&forum=7
