when i create a new forum there are no moderators or admin, when i try to change my permitions (god account), to become moderator or admin the changes do not take affect, any ideas? cos im lost on fixing this one.

secondly the most ever users on line always reads 2 on 01 jan 1970 at 12.00am, at the bottom of the forum page,

It looks like it worked at one time. Have you added any mods to it? I believe the update for the mostonline is in the includes/page_header.php.

i found this, and it works to fix the moderator permitions problem...........

[Originally posted as part of [ Register or login to view links on this board. ] -- reposted to summarize bug-fix options under more descriptive Post Subject]

I've run across several posts mentioning problems with phpBB 2.0.10 not allowing forum moderator assignments. Contrary to some early replies, this is not a php5/phpBB incompatibility problem but a bug in phpBB 2.0.10 admin/admin_ug_auth.php.

(I strongly suspect that more and more new phpBB 2.0.10 admins will eventually run across this bug as their forums grow and they decide to assign moderators. Until then, the bug is essentially dormant.)

FWIW, I've found two viable solutions to this problem -- be warned that neither of these solutions are officially supported at this time!

-----

The first solution is better suited for new or existing unmodded installations using subSilver templates and operating under php5. It allows phpBB 2.0.10 to run under php5's default configuration; fixes the moderator permission bug; and touches on some postgeSQL function issues.

This solution involves installing the phpBB-php5 "patch" (really a minor version upgrade to phpBB 2.0.10.1) found at: [ Register or login to view links on this board. ]

[edit] The URL above has changed. Try [ Register or login to view links on this board. ] [/edit]

If you have an existing, non-trivially modded installation, be prepared to do some serious upgrading and re-installation of all your mods!

-----

The second solution is better suited for existing installations with or without mods operating under php5 (under php4 as well in theory) where the admin does not wish to do a full board upgrade.

This solution involves editing admin/admin_ug_auth.php

Locate the following code:

Code:

for($i = 0; $i < count($forum_access); $i++)
{
$forum_id = $forum_access[$i]['forum_id'];

if (
( isset($auth_access[$forum_id]['auth_mod']) && $change_mod_list[$forum_id]['auth_mod'] != $auth_access[$forum_id]['auth_mod'] ) ||
( !isset($auth_access[$forum_id]['auth_mod']) && !empty($change_mod_list[$forum_id]['auth_mod']) )
)
{
$update_mod_status[$forum_id] = $change_mod_list[$forum_id]['auth_mod'];

if ( !$update_mod_status[$forum_id] )



There are three occurances of $change_mod_list[$forum_id]['auth_mod'] -- ['auth_mod'] doesn't belong there.

The corrected code looks like this:

Code:

for($i = 0; $i < count($forum_access); $i++)
{
$forum_id = $forum_access[$i]['forum_id'];

if (
( isset($auth_access[$forum_id]['auth_mod']) && $change_mod_list[$forum_id] != $auth_access[$forum_id]['auth_mod'] ) ||
( !isset($auth_access[$forum_id]['auth_mod']) && !empty($change_mod_list[$forum_id]) )
)
{
$update_mod_status[$forum_id] = $change_mod_list[$forum_id];

if ( !$update_mod_status[$forum_id] )



Shortcut: As those 3 occurrances of $change_mod_list[$forum_id]['auth_mod'] are the only ones in the file. A quick method of fixing this bug is a global "find and replace" of $change_mod_list[$forum_id]['auth_mod'] with $change_mod_list[$forum_id] using an appropriate text editor.

I have done fairly thorough testing on this bug-fix at this point. I had previously intended to write the fix up in EasyMOD format, but suggest that the shortcut method above is preferrable anyway.
