Issues with editing forum profile

Regular Joined: Sep 12, 2006 Posts: 58 Location: Dsm, IA

I didn't notice this 'till now but since the 2.4 update, anytime someone tries to edit their forum profile it doesn't work correctly. When you go to the page, there's a fullscreen dark boxover that you have to click on to make it go away. After that, anything you edit within the profile doesn't save.

Just wondering if anyone else is having this issue or if it's just me? I commented out the jquery code in profile.php which got rid of the boxover, but any changes in the profile still aren't saved.

Yep , and it's normal. You shouldn't use the forum profile but the Your_Account one Smile

the boxover explains it I think Smile

Ya, but on my upgrade, I need to scroll way down to be able to see what the boxover displays. On a fresh install this is not the case - boxover text is visible without scrolling.

Doulos, If it works on a fresh install and not on your upgrade, one of two things come to mind:

1. You have not uploaded all the new and modified 2.40.00 scripts, or

2. You have a JavaScript conflict somewhere.

I agree with Montego. My upgrade works just like fresh install.

I am having the same problem. I see the box with the spinning loading logo, and the x to close it at the bottom and nothing ever happens. If I close the box, it continues to my forum profile and I do believe it allows changes. I dont know what files I need to re upload to fix it.

I can confirm what Montego and Nuken have said. Testing, if you click continue on the "thing" that says unless you are uploading an avatar you should use Your Account, you will get the Forum Profile but all input except the avatar is disabled. The screen is there but you can't make any changes in it.

In terms of what files to reupload, use something like Beyond Compare if you can't get the job done with a normal FTP client. All your files need to be in synch with 2.40.01 and all the old gunk needs to be cleaned out.

It may look like Forum profile allows changes, but try it and see. I don't think so.

So what you all are saying is the only options that can be changed when editing your profile through the Forums is Avatar settings?

If that is the case then why can you make changes to your Profile through the Forum here at Ravenphpscipts?

I found the change in the changelog:

0001562: [Module - Forums] Make fields in forum profile readonly/disabled and add message about using YA (Palbin) - resolved.

This happened in version 2.40.00 RC1

Can I ask why it was disabled?

Because now I have a Forum Profile with all these fields and changes can't be edited. I have confused members.

I'm not sure about any black box. I've uploaded all upgraded files and I don't get any message telling me or my members to NOT use the Forum Profile to edit their information.

For everyone's info: I just did a fresh install of 2.40.1 on a test site. I get nothing telling me to not use the Forum Profile for editing my info.

Any ideas?

Just to trouble shoot have you tried with a default theme?

Per my post above. Yes. Smile

Fresh install, default themes. Tried RavenIce and FiSubice.

I noticed on ravenphpscripts.COM it works. It looks like it uses colorbox. I am using colorbox in other areas of my "working" website and it works there. I have not tried to use colorbox on the Fresh install website. I just want to see if this so-called forum edit profile pop-up works and it does not appear to on a fresh install for me.

Again, bear in mind. I have done a fresh default install of Raven 2.4.01 and I get no pop up warning when modifying profile through forum.

Because as has been stated many times, this site does not use RavenNuke (tm) at the moment.

I will do a fresh install and check tonight.

I have just installed 2.4.01 on a live domain and on my localbox, both show the modal box when accessing the Profile link within the forums. Tested with FF and Opera (I don't have IE installed).

I'll d/l the package again and try another fresh install. If I cant get it to work, I'll just put a line of text at the top of the Forum profile page that says:

USE THIS SCREEN ONLY FOR CHANGING AVATAR - ALL OTHER CHANGES TO SETTINGS WILL NOT BE SAVED

I'd rather have the ability for my users to modify their account settings in both places.

I'll tell you how to change it back if you want and if I have time tonight.

Change what back? Confused

Posted: Thu Feb 24, 2011 2:21 pm

So you can edit your profile in the forums. It shouldn't be to hard to change back. I just need to refresh my self on what exactly we did.

No offense but wouldn't that be the same as the owner of Ford Motor Company driving a Mazda? Razz

This is the craziest thing. I just downloaded a fresh 2.40.1 package from here. I just got done uploading and installing everything I still don't get the pop up message when editing the Forum Profile.

Tried FF, and IE and IE tab in FF.

Something is sure fishy.

Do you see code for the #ya_warning in modules/Forums/profile.php ??

Do you see it added to the HTML source when you view the page?

Looks like the profile fields are set to read-only via jQuery, so if the modal warning isn't working in this situation, the "read-only" probably isn't either.

Yes I do see the code for #ya_warning in profile.php and I also see it when viewing the source of that webpage.

The read-only appears to be working as I cannot edit any info via the Forum Profile.

EDIT: I think we might be onto something.
The java script in profile.php is stripped when viewing the page.

When I view source at ravennuke.com I see the java in the header. When I view it at my site, java is gone.

This is just plain crazy!~

I think I would rather have my users be able to edit their profile through the Forums than try to figure this out. It's obvious this won't work for me on my server since I just proved that fact by installing a fresh install 2 times now with the same results both times.

FYI My server runs Linux CentOS 5.2, PHP Version 5.2.10, Apache 2, MySQL 5.0.77

If you do a side by side comparison, you will see what is missing from head tags. The keys to this problem, that's what is missing. Why? Is it my webserver?

I have reproduced this, and am currently looking into it.

OMG, thank goodness, I'm NOT crazy! Well, then again..crazy like a fox...

OK, first to fix the problem of not getting the pop-up.

Open modules/Forums/profile.php and find line 27

Code:




if ( isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['mode']) || isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['mode']) ) {

Replace it with the following:

Code:




if ( isset($_GET['mode']) || isset($_POST['mode']) ) {

Second if you want to allow users to edit their profiles in the forums you need to do the following two edits.

Open modules/Forums/profile.php and find line 51

Code:




addJSToHead($inlineJS, 'inline');

Replace it with the following:

Code:




//addJSToHead($inlineJS, 'inline');

Open modules/Forums/includes/usercp_register.php and find lines 523-542

Code:




            if ($avatar_sql != '') {


               $avatar_sql = substr($avatar_sql, 2);


               $sql = 'UPDATE ' . USERS_TABLE . '


                     SET ' . $avatar_sql . '


                     WHERE user_id = ' . $user_id;
