Script URL: http://onyx-ii.com/birthsong/oce/board/mboard.php
Version of script: 1.21
Version of PHP: 5.0.4
Hosting company: onyx-ii (Windows IIS 5.1)
Have you searched THIS FORUM for your problem: YES
(if not please do before posting)
If so, what terms did you try:

Write your message below:

The script is awesome except that I cannot delete messages. When I click on the red "X" icon, I am taken to a page where I am prompted for my password, and then I click on "YES, delete this entry..." and then I am returned to the main message board page where the message is still there. Even if I don't enter a password, it does the same thing. I do not get an error message of any kind and no action is taken. Posting messages and replies and even adding smilies works fine; it's just deleting messages that is the problem.

Thank you for your help.

I thought the reply function was working, but it is not. Can only post new topics and read them; cannot delete nor reply and I do NOT have a trailing "/" at the end of the $settings['mboard_url'] variable.

I set the permissions using Windows NTFS Security settings to read-write-execute for the threads.txt, count.txt files and msg folder.

Help?

Hi,

You seem to have some strange server setup. Try removing www. from the $settings['mboard_url'] variable and see if that helps.

Simple enough solution, but I probably wouldn't have thought of it myself. It now works! The delete and reply functions work well. I can't thank you enough for your script and your fast response as well as providing a quick & easy solution!

Thank You!

Hi,
In setting I've made it to delete old files.
When i delete message - it's deleted from board and from msg folder. But replies to deteted topic are deleted only from board, not from msg folder. So - in msg folder saved a lot of files, that really don't work. How make script to delete html'files of all messages of the topic?

With respect, Sergei

It's me - the previos post.
Now I'm trying PHPMessBoard at local server. And it's exiting for little talks - I've rated it 5. The only problem that i find about it - above. I'm just afraid of 1) expanding hosting space for idle (actually lost) files - for two years it may be 1000 files, and even more - for the order at site, that I like: (that there was no unnassesary things, script and files

...
Please, if it's not very difficult, help. If tryes a lot of work - don't do - let it be as it is. Thanks for a beautiful and gratious script.

Sergei, Russia

Hi,

Make sure you have
$settings['keepoldmsg']=0;
in settings.php and Mboard will clean old files from now on.

I've checked - the thing is:

Code: Select all

// Keep or delete old posts? 1 = KEEP, 0 = DELETE
$settings['keepoldmsg']=0;

What "old posts" means - the posts to the deleted topics?

I've found the way - it's needed to delete each post, not the first, that is "topic". For small forum it's not hard. May there be another problem?
