Question Help - Users turned to guests

[Freekoid]

Ive just upgraded to the new Advanved Post thanks v 1.1.3

Although it did say when I imported the XML 1.1.2

Anyway, some of my users have been reset back to guest

example Gold usergroup, some are ok where as others are not?

One sec..

I know what it is, the thanks finalizing timed out and didnt finish properly.

I re-ran this thanks.php?do=finalise&version=110 and where ever it timed out re-ran it from there.

*Edit: 222,000 thanks takes time to calibrate

 

[Fillip H.]

Yeah that's pretty much it ;p

 

[Freekoid]

I had to revert my dbtech_thanks_postbit template as vb:rawphrase dbtech_thanks_thanks isnt used anymore.

Can you tell me what the call is now as I use it in one of my advanced stats mods which is currently this:

<div class="topx-bit">
	<em title="{vb:rawphrase post_thanks_total_thanks}">
    	{vb:raw content.dbtech_thanks_thanked}
	</em>
	<span class="topx-content-menu">
		<a href="{vb:link member, {vb:raw content}, null, 'userid', 'fullusername'}" title="{vb:raw content.fullusername}">{vb:raw content.musername}</a>
	</span>
</div>

 

[Fillip H.]

I believe $post['thanks_given'] and $post['thanks_received'] (replacing thanks with whatever button varname) is correct

 

[Freekoid]

Vb:raw content.dbtech_thanks_thanked was the total amount of thanks given according to the database.

I'll check mine and see if the table was changed for total as I'm sure $post is the singularity.

 

[Fillip H.]

Yeah it has changed in v1.1

I'm having the same problem with only a handful of users. (Why them?)

When I Like - or thank them for a post, it updates their style until I refresh the page.


So, I need to manually hit this link after upgrading from 113 to 115?
/admin/thanks.php?do=finalise&version=115

It's been sitting in my browser for about 10 minutes saying "Finalising Install..." I don't see any activity in my browser.

 

[Fillip H.]

No the finalise version is the same regardless of what you're upgrading to if you're having this problem.

 

[joshuwae]

Okay - I think I'm good. I had deleted the dislike button before hitting this - so I had to put it back in to make it work.


What do you make of this ??

Please include this link under maintenance with more documentation about this issue in the file itself. This problem has been plaguing me for almost 2 weeks. I had no idea it was related to the thanks mod.

 

[Fillip H.]

It's safe to ignore that error.

I'll add it to maintenance in a future version

 

[Mokonzi]

Thanks for the fix. It was just what I was looking for...

 

[joshuwae]

Will a future version fix this error? I have members showing as guests on a regular basis. I can thank the post and they display fully. I refresh and they are back to displaying as guest.

Yeah, it will be. For now just follow the procedure in this thread to undo it (backup first).

 

[joshuwae]

We are having to run this process a couple times a day. When is the updated version being released that can help us with the postbit style issue? We really need a solution with this.

 

[Fillip H.]

If you run into it more often than during initial installation then you have a problem with one of the hooks that run at userdata_postsave.

Could you please try the following:

1. Disable all other plugins that run at this hook location other than the APTL one
2. Create a new user via the AdminCP
3. Make a post with this new user in another browser (doesn't matter which)
4. Refresh the thread on your main user

If this turns all the posters on that page into guests, please try re-uploading APTL then try step 2 onwards again-

If this does not turn all posters on that page into guests, please re-enable the other plugins one-by-one and follow step 2 onwards until you find the culprit.

When you have found the culprit, open it and paste the code here, and I will fix it for you

 

[joshuwae]

I've disabled all the applicable plugins except for DB Activity. That shouldn't interfere, right? I use the default template with just a few design modification.

Only the new user's postbit is screwed up. The others are fine. I can see their postbit display correctly if I thank or like their post. I refresh and it goes back to looking like a guest.

Can I have you take a closer look? This has been going on for a while. Is there a template file I can post that might give you some clues?

 

[Fillip H.]

So you're saying you did the above steps and even the test user you created when all other plugins were disabled had its postbit set as guest?

 

[joshuwae]

Yes - and I just applied the latest update. Still messing up. What to do now??

 

[Ozzy47]

I will add Fillip H. to this just incase he did not get the notification on the new post on here.
