Bug Invalid Action

[Silvia]

A very strange bug.
I tried to install db classifieds but appear error "Invalid Action".
What's happened?

 

[Mokonzi]

Can you take me through the steps you're using to install?

 

[Mokonzi]

Any more news on what this problem was?

Hello,

we have the same problem on an nearly fresh installed board.

The installation was as usual, uploading files and importing xml (there was no special readme included).

The error comes even in the admincp when i want to edit the settings.

The admin permissions are given to the account.

Best regards
Feldgrau

I think there is a big install problem.

by first time installing the import from the xml does not finished properly.

reimport the xml with overwrite that should solve the problem

I'll look into what might be the issue, I've not come across this myself yet. The other things could be to do with server settings, I've known servers to timeout during the import because of the settings, especially when using a shared server.

The xml-import takes really long, even when i upload the file per ftp.

It's no root server, just a "usual" webspace

Also Safe Mode is active.

Exact same thing. Uploaded half a dozen times, first few times it hung. Now it went through but every single button in admin cp says invalid action when clicking on it...

 

[Mokonzi]

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling to see if that fixes it?

 

[pityocamptes]

Installed and uninstalled around 7 times, nothing was fixed.

 

[Mokonzi]

Did it hang each time you installed after uninstalling and require you to run the XML a second time? How many users do you have on your site?

Thanks for the feedback on this, I'm working my way through some reasons for it atm.

 

[pityocamptes]

No, it really did not hang per se, just the last message after install said INVALID ACTION (message box) with go back button under it. Not too many users, couple hundred maybe. Uninstalled, reinstalled, etc. makes no difference. Only button that work are Manage Feedback Groups, Manage Question Categories, Manage Questions, Manage Links, Manage Forms, everything else automatically says INVALID ACTION.

 

[Mokonzi]

Can you post a screenshot of the available AdminCP menu options for Classifieds, or copy and paste a list up here?

 

[pityocamptes]

These are the only ones that work (do not give INVALID ACTION msg):

Manage Feedback Groups
Manage Question Categories
Manage Questions
Manage Links
Manage Forms

The rest just like pityocamptes.

Fixed. Discovered the issue was that the actions folder had been incorrectly labelled. You can download the latest version if you want, or you can renamed the folder in the following location:

/dbtech/classifieds/actions (1)

to

/dbtech/classifieds/actions

Thanks for helping find this. Let me know if the installs work fine after that or not.

 

[feldgrau]

Thank you very much, the error is gone

GREAT WORK!

Thanks matey. Glad it's sorted.
