Posted 12 April 2012, 4:55 PM

8 RC4 released. Read the full article for a list of changes, and upgrade information.

For some obscure reason the 'Search' box refuses to display on my cloned site. I've checked all the codes from both sites (identical), checked overrides (there are overrides in the live site, but the cloned site is now the equivalent of a 'fresh' install) cleared caches (ocP and browser), put CloudFlare into 'Developer' mode - but nada, nada, nada!

Pointers as to what to look for, please …

$... searching for \'Search\'$

Fletch-

Purge the CloudFlare cache too. I've had a couple of instances where "developer mode" seems to not always pass thru to my host and this has always fixed them.

I've reported this issue to CloudFlare and they are investigating it.

Could there be something weird going on in your BLOCK_MAIN_SEARCH template? I couldn't find reference to a language string named '_SEARCH' anywhere in the system, although '_SEARCH' is used in ocPortal in substitute of zone names where modules should be located via searching.

Yes and No!

The BLOCK_MAIN_SEARCH.tpl was modified, but the main change was that I was calling the block with a 'tray_closed' parameter. WinMerge identified a couple of other 'minor' differences between the 8-RC4 template and the one I was trying to use. I edited them.

HOWEVER

It appears that the active CloudFlare was the little gremlin that was causing ALL the problems. It still had a cached (broken) version and continued to serve it up despite my choosing Developer Mode and clearing its caches (Bob's advice) - SO - I've disabled CloudFlare until I've done all the necessary editing.

Warning to all users of CloudFlare:
It is a fine 'catch-all' proggy that does a good job against 'spammers' and 'botnets' and saves you mega-bandwidth (hosts love you!), but do remember to turn it off when you are actually working (editing) your site or you won't see your edits immediately (in all fairness, they warn you about this). Bummer!

My other problem still continues, but that will be pursued in its own thread!

Slide shows don't play and they have gone back to reloading the whole page instead of just the image when you click through them. They were working nicely in RC3.

I discovered it on a live site I upgraded and then checked it on a fresh install on my localhost.

Here is a strange profile viewing bug for you, Chris…

Normal members can view all profiles as expected
Admin (super user) can view all profiles as expected
My user (near super user privileges) can not view anyone's profile, and I get a stack trace, but if I…
- Set "Global Privileges: Forums: View other people's Private Topics and posts" for my user to yes, I can view profiles (and personal topics), and…
  - All members can still view all profiles normally
A member with slightly less privileges than me can view all profiles as expected

This is the stack trace I get when trying to view …

This should fix it. It is currently checking the 'assume_any_member' permission instead of the 'view_other_pt' permission.

Your permission setup is kind of odd -- 'assume_any_member' would be considered a higher level of access than 'view_other_pt', so you may want to remove it anyway.

Yeah, I know, I don't do anything normal. :lol:

My permission setup gives me the best of two worlds. Basically, a watered-down administrator.

Thanks, Chris. I uploaded to my server and it seems to be working now.

I'm not sure what you meant by "so you may want to remove it anyway". Were you referring to what this patch does?

That you might want to remove that permission, but you addressed that in your reply.

One or two minor glitches being experienced, but I need to do some extensive 'comparisons' between the live site and the cloned one to properly identify where it's all going TU.

More, as and when I find them …

Another:

Is this a breakdown in ocPortal's feed, or is it a glitch with something that came with RC4?

Update:

Problem appears to have been resolved after uninstalling 'Lightbox2' which was 'activated in error' after upgrading to RC4.

What feed is it? The HTTP downloader in ocPortal has been extended a bit (complex to explain, but basically due to mod_security) which has made it a bit more complex.

Fletch posted 13 April 2012, 4:07 PM

It's the ocPortal feed (the one that notifies about latest releases, etc.), and it looks like I jumped the gun when I suggested 'Lightbox2' was the culprit, because it is back again!

BAH, HUMBUG!

Hey Chris,

now I also found some time to test the latest RC4.

After the upgrade from 7.1.5 I get some serious errors now. Go to das junge Beobachterforum -- Andromedaforum and click on the left-hand side on "Galerie". You will get a database error and after short time the browser (for me Firefox 11) gives a content encoding error. Next point, I can't access to the forum (a database error will appear again).

And I found a seccurity issue. When you go to Benutzerprofil von Falko -- Andromedaforum even a guest users are able to see some internal threads, e.g. Server-Wechsel.

I did the file integrity scan and removed all previous changed files stored in the _coustom folders and removed all my template files to avoid interferences.

Best regards
Falko

Oh dear. I'm looking into the 'security issue' now.

The stack trace thing sounds like the catalogues module not upgrading correctly.

The catalogues module version has gone from '5' to '6'. The upgrader "database upgrade" step should have handled that.
Were you on an intermedate release somehow? (to be honest I can't remember if we pushed out an updated catalogues to the tracker, for the sponsorship that happened on it)

If it is the case you're on an intermediate version of the catalogues module, please zip and attach a copy of your site/pages/modules/catalogues.php file and I'll look into creating a transition script.

Below is a stack trace revealing the state the software was in when the error occurred. If this represents a bug in the unmodified software, you may want to check ocPortal website for a fix, and if there isn't one, report this as a bug.

Hey Chris,

the seccurity issue is fixed now :thumbs:

And I got access again to the gallery and the forum. I simply made a clean RC4 installation and copied the following tables:

ocp_catalogue_entry_linkage.sql
ocp_notification_lockdown.sql
ocp_notifications_enabled.sql

Chris said

The catalogues module version has gone from '5' to '6'. The upgrader "database upgrade" step should have handled that.

My version history is as follows:

5.0.3 -> 7.1.3 -> 7.1.4 -> 7.1.5 -> 8 RC4

I attached the catalogues.php from my current 7.1.5 installation.

Ah, and could you make a style adjustment please, so that the quote box will be displayed without the big / only with a single-line gap by default? The version above looks simply ugly.

When you type in e.g.:

it should even looks like:
