Whenever i try to edit some thing in Forums management, i always get this error: No mode was set

Does it happen with everything you try to edit or just certain things? Mode is just like an op it is predifined either in a case or a function. Sounds to me like a global problem. Have you recently added anything? When did this start? Have a backup from before your last modifications?

hi telli. It happens for everything. Whenever i try to edit anything in forums management, i get that error. I'm not sure when it started but i've added a few mods.

I think it would either be:
- sub category mod
- cash mod

i do not have a backup.

Well I also am in the same boat with the "No Mode was set"

I was installing the sub catagory mod (version 200) from the the portedmods.com download section.

I have so far traced the line of code that generates this error message to admin_forums.php file and the sub categories hierarchy mod does make changes to this section. Here is the code to look for: (I have included the whole section of code. Look near the bottom for the "No Mode was set"

//
// Change order of categories in the DB
//
$move = intval($HTTP_GET_VARS['move']);
$cat_id = intval($HTTP_GET_VARS[POST_CAT_URL]);

//-- mod : categories hierarchy --------------------------------------------------------------------
//-- delete
//       $sql = "UPDATE " . CATEGORIES_TABLE . "
//          SET cat_order = cat_order + $move
//          WHERE cat_id = $cat_id";
//       if( !$result = $db->sql_query($sql) )
//       {
//          message_die(GENERAL_ERROR, "Couldn't change category order", "", __LINE__, __FILE__, $sql);
//       }
//
//       renumber_order('category');
//-- add
      // update the level order
      move_tree(POST_CAT_URL, $cat_id, $move);

      // get ids
      $main = $tree['main'][ $tree['keys'][POST_CAT_URL . $cat_id] ];
      $cat_id = $tree['id'][ $tree['keys'][$main] ];
//-- fin mod : categories hierarchy ----------------------------------------------------------------
$show_index = TRUE;

break;

case 'forum_sync':
sync('forum', intval($HTTP_GET_VARS[POST_CAT_URL]));
$show_index = TRUE;

break;

default:
message_die(GENERAL_MESSAGE, $lang['No_mode']);
break;
}

if ($show_index != TRUE)
{
include('./page_footer_admin.'.$phpEx);
exit;
}
}

//
// Start page proper
