UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.threads 6 Version 6 Support [6.5.5] Can't edit profile after upgrade.

I wasn't going to worry about this since v7 was gonna be coming out so quickly, but now with the delays, a few of my users are getting grumpy, so I figure I'll ask and see if anyone knows anything.

I upgraded my boards from 6.4.0 to 6.5.5 a couple weeks ago, after I finally ponied up for the membership renewal. And after that nobody can edit any of the three parts of their profile. When you submit the form, it gives a cursory "We cannot proceed... Please use your back button" error. No actual information about why, that's all it says. And nothing shows up in my server error logs either. My board is here if you need a URL.

The only difference between my board and the stock code is that passwords are stored as sha1 instead of md5 - I did a Replace In Files to change all instances of md5 to sha1, and the column holds 40 chars instead of 32. Had to do it this way because I used PunBB, which uses sha1, for a short while and I didn't wanna make all my users change their passwords again (went from Threads to Eve to PunBB and back to Threads again... that's a lot of password changing!).

Anyway, this isn't really super important since v7 is coming out shortly, but if anyone happens to know of a quick fix, I'd appreciate it.

Hmm, that's a bit odd that it's not giving any errors whatsoever. If you are familiar with php at all you could debug it a bit. Just start towards the top and add these 2 lines:

echo "We made it here";
exit;

Keep moving those 2 lines down until you get the we cannot proceed error. Then if you look at the code the problem would be the call to not_right before your debugging code. That should isolate exactly where the error condition is being met.

Got it. U_ProfileHash must be a new column that I didn't know about. That's where the not_right() was getting called... the part where it checks the profile hash. Bumped the column to 40 characters and everything works gravy now.

Thanks much. <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
