I have installed 7.2.1, did an import from 6.7.3, and then during configuration, I get a blank screen on Group Management.

It's not blank as in totally blank, but rather more like a blank lined piece of paper as it has a bunch of lines on each of the pages (Group Editor/Group Access).

I turned on script debugging and the error displayed "A Runtime Error has occurred. Do you wish to Debug? Line: 27 Error: 'total_tabs' is undefined".

Any assistance appreciated!

Thanks,
Tim

I do notice that on the Registration Settings - Basic Options screen, under the Default Group(s) for New Members section, there are a good number of groups like "OLD_FORUM_50" through "OLD_FORUM_119", most likely for all our old private forums.

Hmm, I'm wondering if you have a lot of groups and possibly one group name that's causing some issues. Can you run the following SQL command and see what you get:

select GROUP_NAME from ubbt_GROUPS

ok, so you answered that for me wink Any odd characters in any of the group names? I'll do a few tests on my local forum and see if I can duplicate. Something on that page is causing the javascript to bomb out.

Ok, no problems there. I think maybe it's browser overload. Basically that page can get exponentially huge depending on the number of groups and forums you have as it has to list each group out under each forum. What browser are you using and I'll add a bunch to my server and test with the same browser.

Try loading the page in FireFox and see if it loads (as a test measure, if it's a browser issue with IE and it loads, then you rule for or against)

I just had the same issue.

49 groups (also from an old W3T board import), the closest thing to a special character in the group name was a few parentheses and one equals sign ... the browser "dead hung" after just a couple of seconds of attempting to load Group Management using Opera 9.23 (Build 8808).

It opened just fine (albeit after several seconds, hehe) in IE 7.0.5730.11

I tried with Firefox, and it sits there for a while, and then the area of the page where the management stuff would be is blank (as opposed to having lines, like IE.) Same results with Group Access.

I also tried it from another machine that is local to the network that the web server is on, and it worked with IE. Perhaps some sort of timing issue or something.

I think this will get me going! I appreciate it!

One question though... did all these "old forum" groups result from me having private forums in the past? They were actually private, without user lists, and password protected. So, I'm thinking that I should be able to get rid of them all.

Thanks,
Tim

Actually, after some investigation, they all do have users in them. Most likely from some early stage of when we first started using the software, way back when smile

each group will be for any forum which had private access only to access them.

I'm wondering if this would be the server eventually timing out due to the max timeframe it'll load (php max time or something similar), does it try to load longer than say a minute or so before it times out?

I'm sure a lot of the groups can be removed; i doubt you have that many unique forums that need that many sets of private users lol...

btw, the number in the group will be the forum # for each group (not sure offhand if it's the CURRENT forum# or the OLD forum#, would more lean towards current)

On the browser/machine that was working I killed all the custom groups. After that, it would load fine elsewhere.

These were remnants of early attempts at access control that was handled in a different manner (which can actually be handled much better with the new-to-us Group functionality.

Thanks,
Tim
