Phpraider easy to fix

Valeo · Post by **Valeo** » 28 Jan 2008, 12:37

I noticed you had the same bug we encountered on phpraider page. You dont need to wait for the next version, as the bug is very easy and fast to fix.

1. Find frontpage.php at phpraider\components\com_frontpage and open it for editing.

2. Find line:

Code: Select all

$upper = mktime('0','0','0',$_GET['monthID'], '31', $_GET['yearID']);

3. Replace it with:

Code: Select all

$upper = mktime('23','59','59',$_GET['monthID'], '31', $_GET['yearID']);

4. Upload new file and voilÃ¡, the problematic raid shows up on frontpage!

Thanks a lot Valeo!

Would you perhaps also know a codefix for our forum, which for some members decides to not log them in at first, while it does wipe the 'new posts since last login' for them when the second login succeeds?

Sheesh Valeo, now you told everybody how lazy admin I am

I know that fix, I just thought it wasn't worth fixing since next occurence is not until March 31st (February has only 29 days

).

Fixed now.

BTW, we are running latest 2.x-series PhpBB, 2.0.22 (released in Dec 2006), so that's probably pretty stable. Upgrading to 3.x-would probably break great many things.

And hopefully fix a great many things.

There must be some way to transfer the old system to the new one.
The bug Pyx mentioned is actually severe enough to be worth fixing by going to 3.x.

Khila, seems similar issue to the famous phpraider html editor:

Can someone with admin rights check?

This should fix it?

Installed now.

Tested with my Work-computers IE 6.0 which has given similar problems, at least there it fixed it.

Elos, others who have same probs - can you confirm it works for you now?

Sorry Pyxie, im not really that much of a coder, i just leech other ppls codes to do my bidding. But im glad i could be of help. (Even if it was a mere kick on Zarhans behind

)

As our site got hacked via phpbb2, we updated the whole thing and went to phpbb3. It really is a nice thing, and supports antispam and many other things natively. Its much safer than phppb2 ever was. Oh, and i think that you can upgrade a previous phpbb2 install to a new phpbb3 with the new install package, but im not really sure about that, as i wiped our whole database clean and started from scratch due to hacking.

If you havent been there lately, you can see what it can do at our site http://www.veneratioaeterna.com.

login seems to work a-ok now, at least the few sessions I tried it with.

I had a look and must say it looked more spiffy.

Btw, did you know that Puchiko looks suspiciously like Athene, best paladin in the world?

Valeo, just in case you want to do a similar "armory link" to ours, you need to edit files in directory

templates/default,

the three files

view_approved_body.tpl
view_queued_body.tpl
view_cancelled_body.tpl

Change line

Code: Select all

<td width="60%" valign="top"><div align="left" style="color:{$class_color}"><strong>{$char_name}<br></strong></div></td>

to

Code: Select all

<td width="60%" valign="top"><div align="left" style="color:{$class_color}"><strong><a href="http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Defias+Brotherhood&n={$char_name}"><font color="{$class_color}">{$char_name}</font></a><br></strong></div></td>

Note that "Defias brotherhood" is hardcoded in there.
