im in the same boat as others in the forum archives.

1. the graphical junk security number will not show up on the screen, however the gd_test file works fine, red box with the word "works".

2. clicking on the continue button after entering the text security code, just returns me to the same page with a new code and no post.
Note: the message board will work with security code disabled "0" setting. this is how im running it thus far.

3. smileys will only insert if i first go to index.htm which redirects me to mboard.php.

i have triple checked all settings in settings php and now im stumped!

here is where the mboard is located:

http://walkproud.org/ctalumni/mboard/

thank you in advance

You have disabled security image so not sure what's wrong, can you install a copy inside a test folder, enable security image and let us test it?

As for smileys they seem to work fine for me, see if this is your case:

not sure what you mean by "enable security image"....

Well if you check the variables inside readme.htm file, you will see that by setting $settings['autosubmit'] to 1 you enable the security image

klemen,
i created a folder called "test" at http://walkproud.org/ctalumni/mboard/test/ and the "settings.php file " is there.

Not sur that you understood me well - install a complete copy of MBoard into that test folder (following instructions in the readme.htm).

You can enable security image by changing

Code: Select all

$settings['autosubmit']="0";

to

Code: Select all

$settings['autosubmit']="1";

inside the settings.php file.

gotcha.... created the entire setup from scratch per readme.htm.

Hmm, looks like sessions not working although your session_test file works fine. Upload phpinfo and session_test files inside
http://walkproud.org/test/
to check if you have any local settings that could effect it.

Just as I thought - the sessions aren't working. I just noticed http://www.connecticutdrumcorps.com/phpinfo.php is on a different IP and sessions work fine there.

However, on walkproud.org sessions DON'T work and the phpinfo file gives different session.save_path
http://walkproud.org/test/phpinfo.php

Ask your host to fix PHP sessions on walkproud.org. If you host it yourself either:

1. change session.save_path from /var/php_sessions to an existing directory that is writable by scripts

- OR -

2. make sure folder /var/php_sessions exists and is writable by scripts.

thank you so much! i corrected the path as you suggested and the security code is now working. i suppose each different IP direction needs a separate php.ini file.

one other quick question. can you point me to instructions on changing the background color on pages created from the main page. i was able to change the background color of the main page, however all subsequent page still have a white background.

Great Product... thank you again for the help!

You probably changed HTML inside mboard.php? Try changing color codes in style.css instead. Changing

Code: Select all

BODY, TD {
	color : black;
	font-family : Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	font-size: 11px;
}

to for example

Code: Select all

BODY, TD {
	color : black;
	background-color: #FFFFFF;
	font-family : Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	font-size: 11px;
}

should do the trick, and then you just edit the color code for background-color.
