patching 7.8 files issue

Regular Joined: Mar 26, 2006 Posts: 63

using NukeSentinel_2500_70-79.tar.tar

The code fix for mainfile.php for 7.8 says:

Code:

in function function online() {


#


#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------


#


function online() {


  global $user, $cookie, $prefix, $db;


  $ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];





#


#-----[ CHANGE TO ]------------------------------------------


#


function online() {


  global $nsnst_const, $user, $cookie, $prefix, $db;


  if(!file_exists('includes/nukesentinel.php')) {


    $ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];


  } else {


    $ip = $nsnst_const['remote_ip'];


  }

Here is the issue. I have different code than than in my file:

Code:

function online() {





   global $user, $cookie, $prefix, $db;





   cookiedecode($user);





   $ip = $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"];

What should I do with "cookiedecode($user);"

Do i need to get rid of it or make it like one of the following:

A

Code:

function online() {


  global $nsnst_const, $user, $cookie, $prefix, $db;


  cookiedecode($user); //<-- Insert here?


  if(!file_exists('includes/nukesentinel.php')) {


    $ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];


  } else {


    $ip = $nsnst_const['remote_ip'];


  }

B

Code:

function online() {


  global $nsnst_const, $user, $cookie, $prefix, $db;


  cookiedecode($user); //<-- Insert here?


  if(!file_exists('includes/nukesentinel.php')) {


    $ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];


  } else {


    $ip = $nsnst_const['remote_ip'];


  }

C

Code:

function online() {


  global $nsnst_const, $user, $cookie, $prefix, $db;


  if(!file_exists('includes/nukesentinel.php')) {


    $ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];


  } else {


    cookiedecode($user); //<-- Insert here?


    $ip = $nsnst_const['remote_ip'];


  }

D

Code:

function online() {


  global $nsnst_const, $user, $cookie, $prefix, $db;


  if(!file_exists('includes/nukesentinel.php')) {


    $ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];


  } else {


    $ip = $nsnst_const['remote_ip'];


  }


    cookiedecode($user); //<-- Insert here?

Or just delete it all together?

Well, for some reason I am not seeing the difference between "A" and "B". Although I refuse to run anything over 7.6, my educated guess is for option "A".

Try it and see if it works.

If you get an "You are accessing this site from an Invalid IP Address" then it is most definitely working, but you can search the forums here for the resolution to that.

The code changes pertain only to the locating of the users ip address:

Code:

#


#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------


#


function online() {


  global $user, $cookie, $prefix, $db;


  $ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];





#


#-----[ CHANGE TO ]------------------------------------------


#


function online() {


  global $nsnst_const, $user, $cookie, $prefix, $db;


  if(!file_exists('includes/nukesentinel.php')) {


    $ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];


  } else {


    $ip = $nsnst_const['remote_ip'];


  }

You don't need to alter/remove the cookiedecode line. You copy may have it in there for a reason.

Did I miss something in the upgrade of Sentinel to 2.5 because I have seen mention of some people making editing to the manifile and I did now see this anywhere in the package or did I just ran over this section.

Thanks

OK this code is in there.
