Invalid Security Token Error on Mark Forums Read for vBulletin 3.8.5

[Homeworld'sa]

As Paul said, disabling Ajax could disable things like the Mark Forums Read script, which uses Ajax if I remember correctly.

Disabling ajax will give you a security token error in some cases - thats a known bug in 3.8.5

The person who answered our ticket sure didn't know this. It is now up on the bug tracker.

It only disables the one in the Forum Tools dropdown, the other Mark Forum As Read links still work.

This did not do it for me.. still have the error.. What gets me is changing a line that starts with td or tr if I remember with a line that starts with <a ..... which makes the box looks messed up..

Anyway I followed the steps and no luck... Marking forums read works fine on my vbportal page but not on forum

[Homeworld'sa]

You are editing the wrong template. This works for everyone, so clearly you are not following the instructions right.

[Merjawy]

No I am not editing the wrong template mate

nevermind... I managed it at last.. I just did a copy and paste of the two lines from the default style to mine

Thanks

[Homeworld'sa]

lol.

Glad you got it working

btw, updated the OP so it's laid out better and Lynne kindly changed the thread title so you can see it better (I put a gun to her head to make her do it. lol *sarcasm*)

Worked for me

I tried everything for two hours and still cannot come up with a fix. WWW.SPEEDAHOLIC.NET anybody got any ideas.. this is the template I am using http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showt...214585&page=18 ..

[jtech77]

My install has this code already?

<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]do=markread&amp;markreadhash=$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[mark_forums_read]</a>


on forumhome but it still doesnt let users mark forums read, ill try the next step!

[jtech77]

OK I dont have the second code with menucontrol either How can I fix this?

[Homeworld'sa]

The instructions are all in post #1, clearly you are not editing the right templates.

[RideHarder]

If you run across your fix before me let me know..

I edited every template that was explained on post one.

[RideHarder]

In day two and still cannot get it..

FORUMDISPLAY

I don't think the codes here but I see mark_forum

</a></td></tr></if>
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]do=markread&amp;f=$foruminfo[forumid]" rel="nofollow" onclick="return mark_forum_read($foruminfo[forumid]);">$vbphrase[mark_this_forum_read]</a></td></tr>
<tr>



I have one in the FORUMHOME


<td class="tfoot" align="center" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">6<else />5</if>"><div class="smallfont"><strong>
<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]do=markread" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[mark_forums_read]</a>
<if condition="$vboptions['forumleaders']">&nbsp; &nbsp;
<a href="showgroups.php$session[sessionurl_q]" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[view_forum_leaders]</a></if>
</strong></div></td>


I have one in the header

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getdaily" accesskey="2">$vbphrase[todays_posts]</a></td>
</if>
</if>
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]do=markread" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[mark_forums_read]</a></td>
<if condition="$show['member']">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="#" onclick="window.open('misc.php?$session[sessionurl]do=buddylist&amp;focus=1','buddylist','statusbar=no,menubar=no,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,r esizable=yes,width=250,height=300'); return false;">$vbphrase[open_contacts]</a></td>
</if>
</if>
$template_hook[navbar_buttons_right]
<if condition="$show['member']">


These are all the codes that I have and I don't know what I'm doing wrong


I changed both of those ones to the correct code shown below
<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]do=markread&amp;markreadhash=$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[mark_forums_read]</a>

I did first message instructions. Forumhome security token fail solved but navbar(my header template) problem still continue.

Any idea?
