Re: Some Bugs?
-----------------------------------
[quote user="tormentor" post="4535"]Thank for clearing out the portal block thing :) Now it's very clear. You can have a look at the fact that if you put more than 1 block related to topics (new and random for example) the second one show itself doubled in the height and with half the table blank  :?: [/quote]
I'm going to change the way blocks variables are managed, so this should be definitely solved in next version.


[quote user="tormentor" post="4535"]I've installed a BOT mod form phpbb "mod's in development", before doing it I had about 120 different connections to the site in the same moments, it seems that this cause the session table to become full and the site went down. I had to empty the table manually and find a fix on the knowledge base of phpbb, then I removed partially the "googlemod" and replaced with the one I found on phpbb, the bots can easily be set via the ACP and you can see that it works from the user online table of my portal. I'm not an expert but this mod stops multiple connections from the bots using the same IP so you can have about 8 bots from the same service connected not hundreds, or however this was what happened here (I'm on a godaddy account).[/quote]
I'll try to check this problem.


[quote user="tormentor" post="4535"]The smiley problem is simple:   :mrgreen:  :mrgreen: works  :mrgreen::mrgreen: doesn't work , in my old forum both worked so I had to search and replace in the post_text table all "::" with ": :"[/quote]
This is not a bug. In my opinion smileys should be parsed only when not ambiguous. So a space is necessary to separate two different smileys. Don't you agree on this? :roll:

[quote user="tormentor" post="4535"]And for the rest actually and without notice the site stopped to send email for reply notifications, the fix I used till now (cnahe the "undisclosed recipients" in emailer.php with a valid email address doesn't work anymore  :cry:[/quote]

[quote user="tormentor" post="4539"]About the topic reply notification I fixed it putting to "1" the sendmail_fix option in the phpbb_config table (I haven't find the related option in the ACP ), I don't know what it does but now all is working  :mryellow: . I knew that in a godaddy server I had to change the line "Undisclosed_recipients" to a real email address in emailer.php and I did it but the emails stopped going out and I don't know why. with this sendmail fix I can even send the email out without changing the file emailer.php.[/quote]
That option should be set automatically by the emailer.php:

[codeblock]			$empty_to_header = ($to == '') ? true : false;
			$to = ($to == '') ? (($board_config['sendmail_fix']) ? ' ' : 'Undisclosed-recipients:;') : $to;
	
			$result = @mail($to, $this->subject, preg_replace("#(?<!r)n#s", "n", $this->msg), $this->extra_headers);
			
			if (!$result && !$board_config['sendmail_fix'] && $empty_to_header)
			{
				$to = ' ';

				$sql = "UPDATE " . CONFIG_TABLE . " 
					SET config_value = '1'
					WHERE config_name = 'sendmail_fix'";
				if (!$db->sql_query($sql))
				{
					message_die(GENERAL_ERROR, 'Unable to update config table', '', __LINE__, __FILE__, $sql);
				}

				$board_config['sendmail_fix'] = 1;
				$result = @mail($to, $this->subject, preg_replace("#(?<!r)n#s", "n", $this->msg), $this->extra_headers);
			}[/codeblock]

This is the same for standar phpBB, so it isn't a phpBB XS bug... but it should be related to your mail server configuration.

[quote user="tormentor" post="4539"]I think there should be a topic somewhere here about the ctracker. I updated to 5.03 but had to come back because it gave a lot of false warnings and stopped some trusted users to submit new posts  :? ....[/quote]
If phpBB XS doesn't still have new CT there is a reason... :wink:

I strongly discourage users to install CT5 on phpBB XS, because a lot of modification should be applied to let it working properly.

If you have patience you can try follow this document for further information.


[quote user="tormentor" post="4565"]Internet explorer users got an error while getting files from the download page: the file name was not corresponding on what was downloaded, the file name was something strange like "CA23SXQF." with no extensions. I took the download module of the latest pafiledb and now it works[/quote]
Can you tell me what changes are necessary to fix this? Or attach here in a zip file the module you have replaced?

Thank you for your reporting.
