No probs, I can totally understand the work schedule thing. The site is still up and you can still test, as I am working on add-ons and fixes and the such as well.

I have not been able to reproduce that problem with being banned. You might want to download the latest file I put up and check your DB edits and your file edits, just to make sure.

Do you have any other mods installed? I wonder if maybe there is something conflicting with the BlogMod...

I must get around to playing with this it looks great... <img>

I have several extras installed on my test site, for this MOD. And everything seems to be working well. There are a few more I am going to install and test out, and then I will get started on packaging it all up and updating the downloads, as well as releasing upgrade doc(s)

Hi Dragonsys;

I have something that may be of interest to you for your mod since you are working with Integramod. I am a big fan of Spellcheckers and even though this site doesn't appear to use the one that was in the older version of IM I figured I would offer it up for your mod anyway. I posted at your site with a link to the install file. It isn't much and it was pretty easy but handy none the less.

Hi Dragonsys. I aprreciate your understanding work schedules lol Mine is just rediculous! 13 and 14 hour days then off to bed. lol BUT anyhow, i do have many mods installed such as Vault AMOD+ reg Mod and many more, but the funny thing is that up until yesterday i had users being banned. I had them try for me and was banned. All of a sudden today I created a few new accounts and all could create blogs!!! No being banned. Hmmm it fixed itself? lol I wonder what happened. Anyhow. I am going to your site as soon as i leave here and mess with yours some and see how she goes. anyhow talk to you later ray

*Just an update*

I was banned at your site from creating a blog as my OWN account that i created as well as when I logged in on the user account that you had set up.

I looked and your blogs do show up in the Who's online, mine havent been,

On your deafult blog skin, no missing images or stretched out like mine either. Looking good.

Thats as far as I could get with testing your mod install verses mine. Once you get me unbanned I would love to come back again and mess with it some more.

Have a great day. Ray

ok, I see where you and the Testuser were both banned. I think it might be the DB entry when a new user is created onthe system, it must be defaultinh to 1. I will take a look as soon as I get back to my PC which has all the code on it.

[Dragonsys]

Well I did a quick once over on my DB and here is what I found.

user_allowweblog defaults to 0 (banned). Run this SQL command and it will fix all furture users:

Code: Select all

ALTER TABLE `phpbb_users` CHANGE `user_allowweblog` `user_allowadvweblog` TINYINT( 1 ) UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT '1'

run this command, and it will change all your users to Not Banned (so if You have some who you do want banned, you will need to set them back to banned)]UPDATE `phpbb_users` SET `user_allowweblog` = '1' WHERE `user_allowweblog` = '0'[/code]

I will update the install info and download as soon as I get back into the office.

[MWE_001]

Awesome. Im going to check that out right now. Let me know if you need anymore help there since i have been there allready and tested. Have a good day. Ray


*UPDATE*

I ran both of these commands and tested my boards and it works great! I have been waiting so long for this! Thx!

[Dragonsys]

hmmm, kinda strange, but I am looking at the DB updates in the install doc and the db_update.php and both set that field as a default of 1. I don't understand why it defaulted to 0 instead.

Allthough. I did have to edit one of the commands. Im sry forgot to poin that out that in the first command leaving this

Code: Select all

ALTER TABLE `phpbb_users` CHANGE `user_allowweblog` `user_allowadvweblog` TINYINT( 1 ) UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT '1'

as it is comes up with error. Change the user_allowadvweblog part to user_allowweblog instead it runs. the second one was fine. I created 4 different accounts and all were not banned from creating blogs and all that was is now not as stated. I can have a look over my DB for you if you like and see what it says. Let me know..
