NSN Groups is not configured correctly - upgrade - [Solved]

Posted: Mon Oct 05, 2009 2:54 am

I just upgraded one site to 2.40 from 2.30.02 and there is a problem when I try to edit groups. I get the following error message:

Quote:

It appears that NSN Groups has not been configured correctly. The most common cause is that you either have an error in the syntax that is including includes/nsngr_func.php FROM your mainfile.php, or you have not added the NSN Groups code to your mainfile.php. This code must be placed immediately before the closing ?> tag in mainfile.php. So your first 7 lines in mainfile.php must look like this:

if(defined('FORUM_ADMIN')) {
include_once("../../../includes/nsngr_func.php");
} elseif(defined('INSIDE_MOD')) {
include_once("../../includes/nsngr_func.php");
} else {
include_once("includes/nsngr_func.php");
}
?>

If I add that code to the end of mainfile.php I get a completely white page with this error:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare in_group() (previously declared in /home/me/public_html/modules/Groups/includes/nsngr_func.php:67) in /home/me/public_html/includes/nsngr_func.php on line 80

This did not happen with the test site.

NOTE: The first error says this "So your first 7 lines in mainfile.php must look like this:" Shouldn't it say LAST 7 lines?

Don't follow that message. It is old and needs to be removed (thought it was).

This file should exists (/home/me/public_html/includes/nsngr_func.php) let alone be included. Are you sure you replaced all the files, namely mainfile.php?

I uploaded all files, and a few failed, but I reloaded them. I have been having trouble with FTP, though. Mainfile.php shows the same size but I will compare mainfile.php to the 2.4 release file.

Thanks

Mainfile.php identical.

Delete this file. Then tell me what the error is.

/html/includes/nsngr_func.php

Hmm, I thought I had already checked and found that file did not exist, but obviously I was wrong.

After deletion of that file -- same result as original post.

Also, I just noticed that the "Edit Groups" icon is in both the Main admin area, and in the Modules area. My test site only has it in the Modules section. Same error no matter which one I click.

Ok, I got it working. There was an old file called "editgroups" and a new file uploaded from the 2.4 pkg. I deleted the editgroups.php file and now Groups works as expected.

Thanks for your help.

Confirmed what Doulos said:

Quote:

/html/admin/modules/nsngroups/ - this entire directory can be removed if you upgraded

/html/admin/modules/editgroups.php - delete if you upgraded

/html/includes/nsngr_func.php - doesn't appear to be needed anymore either

Any other needless files that can be removed??

I don't understand do you have a problem?

My groups admin was not working either after upgrading from 2.30.02 to 2.4. I did the three things listed in my post above and it works fine now.

/root/admin/links/links.editgroups.php
/root/admin/case/editgroups.php
