[F] PM bug

Fri, 29 Jun 2007 01:01:34 +0000

When you go to someone's profile and hit the Private Message this user link, it takes you to the new message window but the Recipient field is already filled. The thing is that if you type the subject and hit Enter by mistake instead of Tab, it takes you back to that screen with a message saying that you must type a message to send, but the Recipient field and Subject field are empty. Probably a bug I guess...

[F] Images/avatars missing index.html

Thu, 28 Jun 2007 15:55:19 +0000

In /images/avatars/ the index.html file is missing that redirects the user back to the index.

EDIT: oh, it seems most of the folders in /images/ don't have a index.html file, is that by design?

[F] Registration bug

Thu, 28 Jun 2007 13:09:50 +0000

You can use the address @test@@test.tld for registration without getting an error that it is an invalid email address.

[F] Reputation / permission bug

Thu, 28 Jun 2007 12:04:20 +0000

Example: A user is member of two usergroups.

Primary group: Admin - can give unlimited number of reputations
Secondary group: Mod - can give 5 reputations per day

In this case the user is able to give 5 reputations per day although he should be able to give an unlimited amount of reputations.

[F] Announcement bugs

Thu, 28 Jun 2007 12:00:25 +0000

1) The time of the announcement is missing in the last post column although it is in the template forumdisplay_announcements_announcement:

{$postdate} {$posttime}

ann.png (Size: 18.29 KB / Downloads: 622)

2) You can add or edit an announcement without entering a subject. There should be an error message.

[F] Recipient field empty when replying to a user with double quote character in username

Wed, 27 Jun 2007 17:18:21 +0000

Ok, this one's a rare bug. But there's a user in my forum with username "^_^". hehe :p ..

Anyways, when replying to any pm of his, the recipient field is empty by default because of the doublequotes character.

See this:

and for some reason, it cannot be fixed using escaping but rather the quotes have to be replaced with "e;. Fix is to use htmlspecialchars_uni().

Replace in private.php:

$to = $user['username'];

with:

$to = htmlspecialchars_uni($user['username']);

[F] & in Forum Titles

Wed, 27 Jun 2007 00:38:05 +0000

If you have a forum called "Problems & Suggestions", for example, the & will shoe up as a & in the source on the index page and any forum page relating to it.

This give W3C validation errors as it should be &

[F] Just a quick typo

Tue, 26 Jun 2007 08:03:40 +0000

In the Help documents -> user management -> registering a profile

It says you will be able to access your myPad when registered. In your profile however, it says Personal Pad

[F] Hardcoded moderator's inline checkbox for announcements?

Mon, 25 Jun 2007 14:33:07 +0000

Around line 495 of forumdisplay.php, it appears a section of the templates are hardcoded instead of using the template system like you think it would. O_o; This makes it difficult for me to create my theme. I guess I'll have to resort to requiring a plugin to be installed as well, just to fix this little issue. ~_~

	if($ismod)
	{
		$modann = "-";
	}
	else
	{
		$modann = '';
	}

EDIT: Additionally, the folder icon's file extension is also hardcoded for the announcement threads, unlike the rest of the threads, which are easily changeable, so I don't have .gif.png images everywhere. X_x

[F] Text sizes list - missing "large"

Mon, 25 Jun 2007 12:43:40 +0000

In the post editor, the "Text Size" list looks like:

XX Small
X Small
Small
Medium
X Large
XX Large

So we are missing "Large".

[F] Merge threads

Mon, 25 Jun 2007 00:41:26 +0000

Some bugs related to merge threads:

1) SQL error saying that the table threadsubscriptions doesn't exist

The following may be because of the SQL error
2) the thread that's being merged isn't removed from mybb_threads
3) the original thread (where the all the posts are going to be at the end) doesn't have the replies count or lastpost updated.

[F] charset - firefox - utf-8 + iso-8859

Sat, 23 Jun 2007 15:35:19 +0000

It seems, as if Firefox doesn't understand how to handle the META-Tag "Content-Type". It ignores the additional "charset" specification.

Example:

If you set your forum to UTF-8 and then post messages with i.e german umlauts, the messages are stored in ISO-8859-1 or ISO-8859-15 in your database.

If you set firefox via the built-in menu to the correct charset (UTF-8) you can see the bogus characters.

But:
Firefox accepts/understands the HTTP-Header "Content-Type" correctly.
So my solution to this problem/bug was to add additional headers before the html output starts (both, in public and in admin area).

Modifikations:

#file - inc/functions.php

function send_page_headers()

{

	global $mybb;
	global $charset;



	if($mybb->settings['nocacheheaders'] == "yes" && $mybb->settings['standardheaders'] != "yes")

	{

		header("Expires: Sat, 1 Jan 2000 01:00:00 GMT");

		header("Last-Modified: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s") . "GMT");

		header("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate");

		header("Pragma: no-cache");

	}
	header("Content-Type: text/html; charset=" . $charset);

}

#file - admin/adminfunctions.php

function cpheader($title="", $donav=1, $onload="", $extraheaders="")

{

	global $mybb, $style, $lang, $cpheader;
	global $charset;



	if($cpheader === true)

	{

    	return true;

  	}



	$cpheader = true;

  	if(!$title)

	{

		$title = $mybb->settings['bbname']." - ".$lang->admin_center;

	}

	$htmltag = "\n";

	if($lang->settings['rtl'] == 1)

	{

		$htmltag = str_replace("settings['htmllang'])

	{

		$htmltag = str_replace("settings['htmllang']."\"", $htmltag);

	}
	
	header("Content-Type: text/html; charset=" . $charset);

	echo "\n";

	echo $htmltag;

	echo "\n";

	echo "$title\n";

	echo "\n";

	echo "\n";

	echo "\n";

	echo $extraheaders;

	echo "\n";

	if($onload)

	{

		echo "\n";

	}

	else

	{

		echo "\n";

	}

	if($donav != 0)

	{

		echo buildacpnav();

	}

}

[F] ...please wait -1 seconds before attempting....

Thu, 21 Jun 2007 09:12:54 +0000

Got this when I just tried to post:

[F] Unapproved Glory

Tue, 19 Jun 2007 05:44:32 +0000

Scenario:
I have just posted one new thread, with twelve replies. Altogether I have posted 13 posts. I decide to unapprove the whole thread, but after unapproving the thread I decide to delete it. Therefore, I have deleted 13 unapproved posts and 1 thread.

Problems:

Before deleting the uunapproved posts, I go back to the index and I notice that the "Board Statistics" state 12 posts in 0 threads. If the posts are unapproved then, there are NO posts at all! And it's a play on its own words. How can you have posts and no threads... oxymoron.
Regardless of the number of threads, there are still 13 posts. Why in the Board Statistics does this not show 13 and shows 12? Is this a bug, in a bug?
Once I have deleted the unapproved posts/thread I go back to the index and notice that I have 12 unapproved posts next to the forums post count within the (). Hang on? Wern't there 13 unapproved posts? Is this a bug, in a bug too?
The Board Statistics have not changed after the deletion of the unapproved posts. It still says 12 posts in 0 threads.
Last, but not least, My total post count comes in at a whooping large -12 posts! Strangely enough, I thought I posted 13 times... and if we we're doing negatives wouldn't it show -13? YAY! another bug, in a bug

Attachments included.

This bug was picked up somewhat in this general support thread.

Hopefully I've documented the bug thoroughly enough for your understanding and bug-squashing.

Feature Request:
Can we have a "Rebuild ALL Caches" button - just so I could retest this bug out and make sure I wasn't babbling on I had to rebuild and recount the caches, and had to click each button... how... slow. AND I officially hate redirect pages.

[F] Post counter bug

Mon, 18 Jun 2007 14:53:44 +0000

After merging threads the post counter is wrong. I created two threads with a total of 5 posts in an empty test board and merged them.

Before merging:

Quote:Our members have made a total of 5 posts in 2 threads.

After merging:

Quote:Our members have made a total of 7 posts in 1 threads.
