RC6 Problem

Posted: Mon Aug 02, 2004 12:42 pm

Quick, easy install. Updated tables with incident. The only thing that doesn't appear to work is clicking on ? for help. Nothing happens. In RC5 I had the mouseover help. Thanx, Steve

Changing back to mouseovers is easy. Open admin/modules/sentinel.php and find these two routines (they appear just like this:

Code:

function help_img($abinfo) {


  global $bgcolor1, $bgcolor2, $textcolor1, $textcolor2;


  return "<a href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onclick=\"return overlib('$abinfo', STICKY, BELOW, RIGHT, CAPTION, '"._AB_HELPSYS."', STATUS, '"._AB_HELPSYS."', WIDTH, 300, OFFSETY, 20, FGCOLOR, '#ffffff', BGCOLOR, '#000000', TEXTCOLOR, '#000000', CAPCOLOR, '#ffffff', CLOSECOLOR, '#ffffff', CAPICON, 'images/sentinel/helpicon.png', BORDER, '2');\" onmouseout=\"return nd();\"><img src='images/sentinel/helpicon.png' border='0' height='12' width='12'></a>";


}





function info_img($abinfo, $abside) {


  global $bgcolor1, $bgcolor2, $textcolor1, $textcolor2;


  if($abside == "l") { $abside = "LEFT"; } else { $abside = "RIGHT"; }


  return "<a href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onclick=\"return overlib('$abinfo', STICKY, BELOW, $abside, CAPTION, '"._AB_INFOSYS."', STATUS, '"._AB_INFOSYS."', WIDTH, 300, OFFSETY, 20, FGCOLOR, '#ffffff', BGCOLOR, '#000000', TEXTCOLOR, '#000000', CAPCOLOR, '#ffffff', CLOSECOLOR, '#ffffff', CAPICON, 'images/sentinel/infoicon.png', BORDER, '2');\" onmouseout=\"return nd();\"><img src='images/sentinel/infoicon.png' border='0' height='12' width='12'></a>";


}

Change the onclick= to onmouseover= like below:

Code:

function help_img($abinfo) {


  global $bgcolor1, $bgcolor2, $textcolor1, $textcolor2;


  return "<a href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onmouseover=\"return overlib('$abinfo', STICKY, BELOW, RIGHT, CAPTION, '"._AB_HELPSYS."', STATUS, '"._AB_HELPSYS."', WIDTH, 300, OFFSETY, 20, FGCOLOR, '#ffffff', BGCOLOR, '#000000', TEXTCOLOR, '#000000', CAPCOLOR, '#ffffff', CLOSECOLOR, '#ffffff', CAPICON, 'images/sentinel/helpicon.png', BORDER, '2');\" onmouseout=\"return nd();\"><img src='images/sentinel/helpicon.png' border='0' height='12' width='12'></a>";


}





function info_img($abinfo, $abside) {


  global $bgcolor1, $bgcolor2, $textcolor1, $textcolor2;


  if($abside == "l") { $abside = "LEFT"; } else { $abside = "RIGHT"; }


  return "<a href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onmouseover=\"return overlib('$abinfo', STICKY, BELOW, $abside, CAPTION, '"._AB_INFOSYS."', STATUS, '"._AB_INFOSYS."', WIDTH, 300, OFFSETY, 20, FGCOLOR, '#ffffff', BGCOLOR, '#000000', TEXTCOLOR, '#000000', CAPCOLOR, '#ffffff', CLOSECOLOR, '#ffffff', CAPICON, 'images/sentinel/infoicon.png', BORDER, '2');\" onmouseout=\"return nd();\"><img src='images/sentinel/infoicon.png' border='0' height='12' width='12'></a>";


}

Thank you Bob. This is the error message I get upon loading RC6

Code:

Line: 396


Char: 1


Error:  Object Expected


Code:  0


URL:  Mine/op=ABMain

I think RC6 may have crossed my nOOb line. I don't understand the proxy and Dos blockers. If I choose to block proxies, does it discriminate between my friends who have proxies and Arabic Emissaries?

Proxy Blocker helps to keep people using proxies from accessing your site. Some will use it some won't Smile

DOS Protection helps to protect your site from Denial Of Service attacks. These are bots aimed at your site in an attempt to overload your server by requesting tons of pages at once.

Line 396 in admin/modules/sentinel.php is:

Code:

$counter = 1;

Does this show up if you revert back to the deafult admin/modules/sentinel.php file or just in the one you modified from the above instructions? If it's the modified one I'll make a copy that I can send you to ensure there's not a missed character in there somewhere.
