Hi, I recently edited my Help Documents to reflect the recent change in law regarding cookies in Europe (for the benefit of my European users), and the link to clear cookies is broken.

The link: http://books.empirehostings.net/misc.php...ies&key={1} does not work. I get a message stating "You could not be verified to clear cookies. This may have been because a malicious Javascript was attempting to clear your cookies automatically. If you intended to clear your cookies, please view the "Use of Cookies on MyBB" help document."

I think the {1} in the URL is to blame, but I don't know what to replace it with.


Any ideas?

You need PHP to generate the value for that, which it will currently do if you have that link in the help document it originally comes in. What's the ID of the help doc you're tying to put this link in?

I had this error when editing help document 3. The "best" solution for me was to edit the help docs lang file directly and to change the use translation setting to 1 in phpmyadmin. That way the displayed values are those in the help docs lang file, it is not defined as translated and the link works.

I read the thread (but got redirected to the MyBB Home page when going to view the linked page on the dev site), but got stuck at the part regarding phpmyadmin. I've never used it before, so I don't know about how to do this:

UPDATE `mybb_helpdocs` SET `usetranslation` = '1' WHERE `hid` = '3'
