Hello, After upgrading to the latest Raven Nuke; my Scrolling block isn't showing the banned Ips. The block shows up fine. Can anyone tell me where the communication break mybe. I have tried to re-install the block with no luck.
I am running 2.5.17 on

mgc_painkiller - it is not necessary to post the same question in multiple forums.
@ gremmie - yes he has several and I suggested he try disabling the others to see what happened in one of his other posts
Sorry. for the multiple post. After I had found this topic I thought I would get more help on this issue.
I will go try and test the disabling of the other scrolling blocks. These have always worked with it in the past. It just did stop after the update of the RavenNuke this past weekend.
Ok, I have all disabled but the NS Scrolling block with no change. It still isn't scrolling any of the 36 blocked IPs. I checked my database and the ips are still listed. As well in the NS Admin panel. What else you got for me?
LOL, Man I must be getting burned out on this. Sorry about that. But, Yes your right. It didnt work with DeepBlue. And I have not tested it on FireFox. I am on my Work laptop and I can't download Firefox to this PC. I will have to wait to get on my own and try it. Inless someone else out there has and sees it working or not before I can test it.

Well I don't use that block myself, but I would be surprised if it didn't work on the latest RN. But I will try it out at home myself and see what it does for me.
Ok, I tried it in Fire Fox and it isn't working with it either. I do know that it works with the lastest RN. I am using it on My other site at

. Only this was a freash install instead of the upgrade. The upgrade on the mgcclan.com was a RN version as well. So I'm not sure. I don't really care if I use the block as much as I just would feel better if the NS is working the way it should. We have been attacked alot as of late to try and get into our forums database.

Well, I think you know this, but I'm not sure from your previous post, but the block doesn't *do* anything but display blocked IP's. It isn't providing the protection.
I just did a view source on your site. There isn't anything in the marquee tag contents. Are you sure you have banned IP addresses in the database table? Perhaps there is a problem with a table.
Yah, I checked the NS Admin and the Database file and both are showing the same 36 blocked IPs. I guess I could write them down and drop the Table and re-install NS as a freash in-stall to see if that fixes it. Just didnt want to have to enter in all the IPs again. Really be upset if this dosnt fix it. lol

You don't have to re-enter the IP's again. Just export them from phpMyAdmin and reimport them when it is re-installed.
But yeah, that looks weird. It looks like it is trying to get the table out of what I presume is your donations database? Are your settings in config.php correct for your database?
I just did a test and copied the database table to the donations one and the scrolling block is reading them now. So, this narrows it down to it looking at the wrong dataase for the blocked Ips. As far as I know the config file is setup right because the rest of the site wouldn't be working if it wasn't. There has to be a NS config somewhere that some how got the wrong DB information during the install.
lol, I did about 20 times now. It has the right DB listed for the rest of the site. The Donations one is use for it only. The donations DB isnt even listed in there as it has its on Config files in the module to run it. Other then finding out that the NS side blocks are talking to the wrong DB some how I am lost on this one now.
Is NukeScripts the creater of this and if so how do I get support on the site? There are no forums as far as I can see.

This site provides forums support for NukeSentinel. I think someone is going to have to poke around on your site and look at some settings to resolve this.
You said you upgraded this site. Did you totally obliterate the old site or did you just copy over the old files?
I just went to you site with latest FF, IE, Opera and Safari and I see no issues. Your block is scrolling just fine...
HI Montego,
You would have to read a few post up to get the full update. Long story short I found that the NS side blocks are looking for the wrong data base. They are trying to use my Donations database for the blocked ips. So when I copied the table to my Donations DB they started scrolling the IPs and now im trying to find out why they are reading from the wrong DB when the rest of NS is reading from the right one.

mgc_painkiller, the NS blocks just don't decide to use a different database. They use the same $db object that all other blocks and modules do which is built from information in config.php.
(To caveat what I said: Some really old or poorly coded blocks sometimes don't use the $db database variable and make mysql_* calls directly. But the NS blocks don't do this.)
As I said, I think someone is going to have to inspect your system to debug this further. What other tables do you have in your donations database?

Gremmie I know what you have been saying and I'm not mis-understanding you. I am just stateing what it is doing and my test of putting the Blocked IPs table in the Donations DB proves that NS is looking at two different DBs somewhere.
Here is the coding for my current Config file

* Mainly used in mainfile.php and is directly related

* ignored. Below are the possible settings:
*
* Value Constant Description
* ------ -------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* 1 E_ERROR (integer) Fatal run-time errors. These indicate errors that can not be recovered from,
* such as a memory allocation problem. Execution of the script is halted.
* 2 E_WARNING (integer) Run-time warnings (non-fatal errors). Execution of the script is not halted.
* 4 E_PARSE (integer) Compile-time parse errors. Parse errors should only be generated by the parser.
* 8 E_NOTICE (integer) Run-time notices. Indicate that the script encountered something that could
* indicate an error, but could also happen in the normal course of running a script.
* 16 E_CORE_ERROR (integer) Fatal errors that occur during PHP's initial startup. This is like an E_ERROR,
* except it is generated by the core of PHP. (Since PHP 4.)
* 32 E_CORE_WARNING (integer) Warnings (non-fatal errors) that occur during PHP's initial startup. This is like
* an E_WARNING, except it is generated by the core of PHP. (Since PHP 4.)
* 64 E_COMPILE_ERROR (integer) Fatal compile-time errors. This is like an E_ERROR, except it is generated by the
* Zend Scripting Engine. (Since PHP 4.)
* 128 E_COMPILE_WARNING (integer) Compile-time warnings (non-fatal errors). This is like an E_WARNING, except it is
* generated by the Zend Scripting Engine. (Since PHP 4.)
* 256 E_USER_ERROR (integer) User-generated error message. This is like an E_ERROR, except it is generated in
* PHP code by using the PHP function trigger_error(). (Since PHP 4.)
* 512 E_USER_WARNING (integer) User-generated warning message. This is like an E_WARNING, except it is generated
* in PHP code by using the PHP function trigger_error(). (Since PHP 4.)
* 1024 E_USER_NOTICE (integer) User-generated notice message. This is like an E_NOTICE, except it is generated in
* PHP code by using the PHP function trigger_error(). (Since PHP 4.)
* 2048 E_STRICT (integer) Run-time notices. Enable to have PHP suggest changes to your code which will ensure
* the best interoperability and forward compatibility of your code. (Since PHP 5.)
* 4096 E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR (integer) Catchable fatal error. It indicates that a probably dangerous error occured, but did
* not leave the Engine in an unstable state. If the error is not caught by a user
* defined handle (see also set_error_handler()), the application aborts as it was
* an E_ERROR. (Since PHP 5.2.)
