User maintenance

Peter Strömblad — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 19:33:53 GMT

Our problems are escalating rapidly with FAKE REGISTRATIONS - it looks as though the banned user names doesn't work.

What should we do?

User maintenance

Peter Strömblad — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 13:19:09 GMT

Lately we have many new bogus user registrations. We've switched from Automatic account activation to E-mail activation.

Is there any method, like a probe, to see if user registered e-mail addresses are still valid? - or similar silent "re-authenticate" mechanism?

cheers / Peter

TagList Glitch

davidl-1 — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 23:26:24 GMT

The list of posts for a specifc Tag displays the markup instead of the formatted content. I can understand that the full formatting might not be best displayed in such a condensed format, but display the the quote tags and the url syntax isn't good either.

What can be changed to fix this?

Re: New Users Seeing all Member Galleries under Media - Is this a Control Panel Thing?

BelleFemme — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 13:57:55 GMT

Hello. I figured this out in the end. There was section in the Control Panel that needed t be changed that looked correct but was not. I needed to check a box, save, then uncheck the box and save again which did the job. It seems that a section in the control panel had an unticked box but was behaving as if it were ticked.

We do not provide suppot for code changes and so I can't second your change.

Looking at your site however I think you might have some more serious underlying issues. You appear to be using the theme from the CS2.0 beta, but with a full release of CS 2.1. Was this an upgrade from CS 2.0 (beta)? If so you may not have done the upgrade correctly.

Re: A moderated post is never visible

Peter Strömblad — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 11:47:19 GMT

I've now corrected cs_system_UpdateThread, with the following - but would appreciate if support could second this change.

/Peter

/* 
20090606 Peter S. Altered line 143, 
From: AND PostID >= @ReplyPostID and SettingsID = @SettingsID 
To: AND PostID > @ReplyPostID and SettingsID = @SettingsID 
Due to errors with moderator approved posts upping postlevel to two for the first post 
*/

Re: A moderated post is never visible

Peter Strömblad — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 10:41:16 GMT

No customizations.

I've now managed to narrow the fault down. The approval procedure
cs_Moderate_ApprovePost calls

exec

cs_system_UpdateThread @ThreadID, @PostID, @SettingsID

This is where the PostLevel is upped, if PostLevel=1 and isApproved=0

But the cs_system_UpdateThread is a rather lengthy procedure, and it contains a fix regarding the postlevel (saying something about "this could be done better". Me messing with this one seems a bit risky - any chance you could hand me the latest version of this procedure, so I can compare if ours is the latest?

Alex Crome — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 17:12:21 GMT

Have you made any customisations to your theme? If so what?

Re: A moderated post is never visible

Peter Strömblad — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 17:06:29 GMT

STatus is now, that I've manually fixed the 8 posts, ie set their postlevel to 1. But I can't locate within the stored procedure chain from: cs_Moderate_ApprovePost, so I suspect there is a faulty call from the asp.net app when actually approving a post.

Anyone?

/Peter

Re: A moderated post is never visible

Peter Strömblad — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 16:40:26 GMT

Ok, the following TSQL, gives 12 rows, four with no post attached to the thread at all -hmmm - what is wrong there?

DECLARE

@Th TABLE (ThreadID int, PostLevel1 int, PostLevel2 int, PostID1 int, PostID2 int)

INSERT

@Th select T.ThreadID, P1.PostLevel, P2.PostLevel, P1.PostID, P2.PostID
from cs_Threads T
LEFT JOIN cs_Posts P1 ON P1.ThreadID=T.ThreadID AND P1.PostLevel=1
LEFT JOIN cs_Posts P2 ON P2.ThreadID=T.ThreadID AND P2.PostLevel=2

SELECT

* FROM @Th Where PostLevel1 IS NULL

Re: A moderated post is never visible

Peter Strömblad — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 16:17:32 GMT

OK, I've profiled for a few minutes, and think I can narrow it down.

In short, postlevel is increased by one, when a moderator approves a post - why? - I still have to figure out.

More detailed:

exec

dbo.cs_Threads_GetThreadSet has a call with @sqlPopulate, which is correct,

within the stored procedure, there is a line that excludes these posts,

AND jP.PostLevel = 1 -- PostLevel=1 should mean it's a top-level thread starter

as they have an increased postlevel (ie 2), even though the actual post is a thread starter.

So - question remains, why does a post get an elevated postlevel upon approval with the latest SP,
where do I fix that call
and how do I correct the faulty posts retroactively?

PLEASE HELP!

Re: A moderated post is never visible

Peter Strömblad — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 15:29:31 GMT

No one? - HELP!

The problem is escalating for us with more and more threads being invisible - clearly there is something not right with either the database, table-indexes or the CS 2.1 software, and I can't spot it even when I browse table data - there must be means to simulate to see if a stored procedure or the storage is broken, ot the asp.net app....

HELP US - / Peter

What specific build of CS2008.5 are you running - http://docswiki.communityserver.com/wikis/cs20085docs/viewing-your-version-of-community-server.aspx ?

Re: New Users Seeing all Member Galleries under Media - Is this a Control Panel Thing?

BelleFemme — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 15:55:16 GMT

Just as an update. This seems to be happening for the sites we upgraded to 2008.5 from 2007 and not the new sites that wen't straight onto 2008.5.

New Users Seeing all Member Galleries under Media - Is this a Control Panel Thing?

BelleFemme — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 15:40:41 GMT

What's happening is that when I join as a new member I see a list of all member galleries.

Please see screenshot.

Now I don't want the new user to see all new member galleries, only the new gallery created for them, and the public galleries set up for everyone to see. The galleries you see in the screengrab do not have any permissions set up so should not be shown.

We have around 7 sites with Community Server here and it's happening on some of them but not others, so I suspect this may be a settign hiden in teh Control Panel that I can't find.

Thankfully when the new user tries to post to any of these galleries they're unable to as they do not have the permissions and get this error message;

If anyone has any ideas let me know.

Issues with images inserted in blog posts?

Lynque — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 17:50:38 GMT

Has anyone ran into trouble with images in their blog posts linking to a "forum does not exist" page?

Re: Clickable Image in blog post - links to forum not found???

Lynque — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 20:47:56 GMT

I've checked to verify that the gallery is enabled but I'm still not able to click through to the gallery... Any help would be appreciated.

Clickable Image in blog post - links to forum not found???

Lynque — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 15:58:10 GMT

Hello all,

I have uploaded an image to CS and then embedded it in a blog post using the controlpanel UI which all works just fine, the issue arises when a user tries to click through on the image when viewing the post...

It links to /Msgs/?MessageID=6 and displays a page with "Not Found: Forum Not Found".

Any Ideas on what could be causing this to happen? I didn't put the image in a forum, I put it in a gallery...

Re: CS2.1 and IE8 - editor hangs - upgrade TinyMCE?

Alex Crome — Sun, 29 Mar 2009 11:28:48 GMT

I just had a quick look at yoru site and noticed you're running CS2.1 SP2. Can you try upgrading to CS2.1 SP3 - the last service pack available for CS2.1. You can download the CS2.1 SP3 from http://get.communityserver.com/download/moredownloads.aspx .
