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/

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 to inside the settings.php file.

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.

hope this helps! and thank you so much for your help on this. mike

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.

the files are there.

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