Forum woes.

Just installed a fresh copy of v2_rc2 and forums. Whenever I try to create a new Catagory it says that it has been created but the Catagory list does not contain any values. The odd thing is is that if I input a few different catagory names the drop down list does get bigger but the values in the list are all zerolength.

same here!

After creating a new catergory the field cat_title in prefix_bb_categories stays empty.

After writing the Name manually in the database there is another error:

When trying to add a forum this messages appears:
You did not fill out all the parts of the form.
Did you assign at least one moderator? Please go back and correct the form.

Maybe some SQL statements are incorrect?

I reported this bug yesterday and was assured that they would investigate it.

It actually does create the category but for some reason does'nt save the description. If you look at the table you will see the records.

Unfortunately, after I manually entered the descriptions I still could'nt create any forums. This is a funny one as it simply tells you that one of the fields has been left blank even though are'nt any.

Hopefully a fix will appear soon.

I did the following (now again on a different system):

Downloaded the RC2 and installed as i allways did.

First problem:
With chmod -R 666 cache i got the message during the installation that /cache/style.css could not be written. chmod -R 777 cache fix this problem.

Second problem:
After installation i got only a white page. After chmod -R 777 MyXoopsDir it works?
Never run into this permission problems before

In my new installed XOOPS i go to the Admin Section and install the Forum Modul.
Now i go to the Forum Administration an select "Add new category" - i give a name for it - "Create new category"

In the table _bb_categories i have now:
cat_id: 1
cat_title:
cat_order: 1

cat_title stays empty at this point!

Now i add the title manually in the database.

When i then go to "Add a Forum" and fill out the whole page correctly i get this error:

Forum Configuration
You did not fill out all the parts of the form.
Did you assign at least one moderator? Please go back and correct the form.

I know my english....
but i hope you know what i mean and maybe you have any idea

Edit: Remove and edit a category are also not working at the moment

Edit2: It works without problems with Register Global ON in php.ini
thought XOOPS doesnt need this setting anymore?

Dear einherjer,
YOU WILL HAVE TO CHOOSE ATLEAST ONE MODERATOR

In the Add a Forum page, you DID NOT fill out the whole page correctly..

In the box where moderators are asked for, you have to CHOOSE ONE, buy clicking on the usernames displayed.
TO select multiple names, press Ctrl button while clicking.

Now if you press add forum., it will work.

Fireeater, I don't want to put you down but both I and the other member stated quite clearly that we HAD selected a moderator!

Fortunately for me I am English so I can fully understand what is required. Problem is - IT DOES"NT BLOODY WORK! PERIOD!

Its as simple as that! There is obviously a bug somewhere though quite what its related to is anybody's guess. I'm using Win 2000 and IIS so there's no chmod issues. Also, I'm doing it on my local machine - I never install and test on my live server. It may well be that its a PHP setting issue but I honestly don't know.

its kinda like the Log In bug that was in RC1 - after installing you could login, be welcomed but not logged in! You could log in again and again you would get the welcome message but STILL would'nt be logged in. Strange how, after posting a message about it and getting no helpful answer the problem miraculously disappeared when RC2 came out!

I'm sure that it will come out in the wash fairly soon but both the Category and Forum creation do not work.

Now, if only I could find out why the Threaded display mode does'nt work for me anymore!!!

Had Same problem.

If you want it to work register_globals should be On in php.ini

i go to repport now, and no, not all the module isues related to the global off are fixed the core 99.99% and the modules the users report

For this this is a RC and not a final version.

can you remain with global off and continuate testing ?
and when see a similar problem change to global on and try reproduce, and if not reproduce send a forum message with global off problem, this go to be helpfull.

Yes is a register_globals problem because if you active them the category creation works...
