[fixed] Unregistered User in Ignore List

[pagemaker]

Hello !

I have the message that unregistered user is in my ignore list and i cannot view the thread, but in my ignore list there is no user ??

[eva2000]

which vB version ?

try going to ignore list and hit the submit button with all fields blank

[Fusion]

George, I thought you Teamsters were able to view the info submitted by the sites that have bought the license to remove the "Powered by.." etc? Another illusion shattered..What will the world be coming to. :rolleyes:

[pagemaker]

@eva2000) , this will not work at all, it must be another setting - i become this error after upgrading to 2.2.5

@fusion), i set up german style same time as upgrading to 2.2.5, after importing i had some problems in footer functions so i removed the message including some other fns.

it will be up as long as the forum goes well.

Not to be difficult, but unless you specifically recieve permission to remove the text, the license-agreement does point out that the "Powered by: vBulletin Version 2.2.5 Copyright ©2000 - 2002, Jelsoft Enterprises Limited" has to be left in place. The only item you may remove is the actual version number, so that potential hackers don't get clues as to what they may attempt to exploit.

...so what about the problem right now ??

As you can see - if you are not logged in or logged in, nobody can view threads of UNREGISTERED users because they seems to be in any users ignore list !

Whats wrong now ??

do you allow unregistered users to post ? what exact error message after upgrading ?

[pagemaker]

Yes i allow unregistered users to post.

Please watch more to users who uses vb completely illegal - and there where many of them i also have seen someone on the web - serial numbers for member area will be changed in some forums via PM messaging.

btw.
i just buyed my owned license more for one year - but there where many free bulletin boards in style and funtioning like vb completely free of charge.

[pagemaker]

That others misbehave isn't an excuse for you to do the same. That said, there's no need to be so defensive, I was simply pointing it out to you. Wether you want to disregard the license or not, is entirely your choice. :)

.sorry..i use it not illegal ! - the Copyright message has been removed due to removing of features since my last problem after importing the german styles from vb germany.

This had to be done because i use speacial php functions in website footer (gzip class is used separatly).

But anyway - i hope next time you would be more customer friendly in your messages.

Please reread www.vbulletin.com/license.html .
All vBulletin copyright notices within design templates must remain unchanged (and visible).See what I'm getting at?

...i walked through USERLIST on MYSQL database field ignore list but there are no entries at all.

i think it must be a bug combined with some permissions while modifing something in CP

can't do anymore without having someone look into it on your forum/server

Error found:

In SHOWTHREAD.PHP line 361:

// can do it this way or use a strstr() for each post but I feel this $ignorelist = explode(' ', $bbuserinfo['ignorelist']);

explode ist written with a space between the '
after removing it will work fine

so i think that something must be going corrupt after upgrading to 2.2.5

php manual:
sometimes a problem may occur, if user add a separator char at the end:
"item1, item2, item3, item4,", so the last would be an empty
array-item.

please let me know

[pagemaker]

sorry - to fast..

the error must be in $bbuserinfo['ignorelist'] the space is correct.

[eva2000]

moving to bug forum to get developer to verify

[John]

Try changing functions.php line 274 from:


if (!$ignore[$post[userid]]) {


to


if (!$ignore[$post[userid]] and $post[userid] !=0) {


And let me know how you get on.

John

[pagemaker]

Yes - it works. Old setting in showthread has been recovered and new code is inserted.

thanks a lot

[pagemaker]

Sorry, this fix works only in loggedin modus !!!

[Stallion]

Try this...

Replace lines 274 through 278 with:

if (($ignore[$post[userid]] and $post[userid] != 0)) {
eval("\$retval = \"".gettemplate("postbit_ignore")."\";");
} else {
eval("\$retval = \"".gettemplate("postbit")."\";");
}

The 2.2.6 CVS code fixes the problem ;)

Sorry about that.... I had 2.2.5 there up until a few hours ago, and noticed this problem... so I figured I would just install all the 2.2.6 fixes to make sure there aren't any problems with it and 4.2.0 ;)

Fusion's might give you the indication he is a vB team member or moderator or whatever, but he is just another license holder, just like you. He was only pointing something out. You already indicated that this was due to X and you are planning on restoring it asap. So I don't see the problem at all here.

i have it...i also have alot of problems with 225 i really wish i can redownload 221

[Joshua Clinard]

If you have a lot of problems with 2.2.5, you need to report them, so they can be fixed. That is if they are bugs. They may be other problems though...

When is 2.2.6 coming out?
