Hi all

After getting Telli to sort out my last problem ( thanks M8 ), I was not going to mess about with my site but I spotted a few good things I wanted. So I installed them all went well till I tried to install submit screen and subdomain.

I installed submit screen first every thing works on this except it does not email that there has been a submission, so I deactivated it while I pondered the problem and did some research. While going through the various web site's looking for answers I came across a hack that allows you to give sub domain names to people. This would be ideal for anyone wanting to have a totaly seperate clan forum with a bit of personalisation. So I installed it now I get the following error when accessing the forums or any page connected to the forums Eg: PM's, Members, New registrations etc.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: encode_ip() in /home/www/dogfightmod.com/modules/Forums/common.php on line 207

Can any one help

Thanks

You made a backup right? Sounds like you had to edit the common.php and maybe made a mistake. Double check that.

From my experiences with that type of error the problem isn't actually in the file it tells you...but in an 'includes' file. In this case I would check root/includes/functions.php and make sure that this line (or something similar) is in there:

function encode_ip($dotquad_ip)
{
$ip_sep = explode('.', $dotquad_ip);
return sprintf('%02x%02x%02x%02x', $ip_sep[0], $ip_sep[1], $ip_sep[2], $ip_sep[3]);
}

That error on line 207 is just telling you that the function encode_ip has not been defined.

If that doesn't do it then check to make sure that a line similar to this is in common.php probably around line 180

global $forum_admin;
if ($forum_admin == 1) {
//include("../../../db/db.php");
include("../../../includes/constants.php");
include("../../../includes/template.php");
include("../../../includes/sessions.php");
include("../../../includes/auth.php");
include("../../../includes/functions.php");

} else {
include("includes/constants.php");
include("includes/template.php");
include("includes/sessions.php");
include("includes/auth.php");
include("includes/functions.php");
include("db/db.php");

}

Thanks to both of you I have managed to get my forums back up and working. The only problem left is that when some one registers, when they click on the link in the email it takes them to [ Register or login to view links on this board. ] which is because of how the subdomain mod worked I think and linked to the sql I had to install. I have a backup of my sql before I installed the subdomain mod in tar.gz format but I have no idea how to use it to return mysql to that state.

I have removed all the files relating to the subdomain mod and would be greatfull if some one could explain how I use the mysql back up in myphp to return it to previous state.

I hope this make sence

Thanks

Go to your admin Forums control panel and find the option to restore database...that should do it. If not you'll prolly hafta copy and paste your backup file into your MySQL.

Hi m8

Thanks for the info I tried that but I get the following error.

SQL Error : 1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '

Any idea what that means

Yes i do..lol...I got that the one time i tried it as well...ended up having to copy paste straight from the backup file to MySQL. I think it has something to do with the codes that backing up puts into the backup file...not sure how to get around that yet..so had to do it the hard way. If Codezhost is your server I can help you on doing it the hard way..if not..I can try but this site is my first experience with online DB's and SQL. You can hit me up on Yahoo IM if ya like at PTMTOP and I can try to work with ya on this.

pnclthnmstsh thanks for your help, I'll install Yahoo IM asap (later tonight) as I'm not exactly sure I know where I have to put the info in Mysql.

Talk to you later.
