Certain admin elements can only be changed in the database

xSDMx · 2009-12-30 03:49:36

Hey all,

I'm having a bizarre problem. Most (90%) of buttons work correctly, but on some buttons, either nothing happens, or it reverts to it's original setting, i.e.:

Use Avatars Yes X No o

Clicking No, and then saving, results in it staying Yes.

I have to manually change the 1/0 settings in the database.

How do I fix this problem?

Have you modified your forum at all?

Months ago. I can't think of anything I've done since them. What could I check to repair this?

Hmm. I'd suggest using an unmodified version of admin_options.php to see if that solves the issue. I'd also delete cache_config.php to force your forum to regenerate it (it should only be out of date when you manually modify values in the database).

Replacing admin_options.php didn't do anything

Changing the admin_groups.php back allows me to edit the page again. What could have gone wrong?

I've been poking around the original files and change lines back and forth, but I can't narrow down exactly what I should be fixing in the admin_xx.php files.

Could you possibly take a quick look at them (groups only) for me and let me know what I should look for in the files?

o = current version (polls, colors, etc)

Thanks.

You have a bracket in the wrong place:

    if ($group_color != '')
    {
        if (!preg_match('{^(#){1}([a-fA-F0-9]){6}$}', $group_color))
            message('Your group color is invalid. Example: #000000.');
[...code to actually perform the changes...]
}

The closing bracket there should be right after the message(...) line, otherwise you are only going to be actually committing the changes if the group_color is not empty.

Basically your bracket on line 282 should be on line 247.

*facepalm*

Thanks for the help guys.

I'll poke around other files of mine whenever I have the problem, and make sure code is ended correctly.
