Seems to be more than just the calendar ... private calendar isn't working as well as top poster's link.

On your top posters. It looks like for your site that was built with search engine friendly style urls, but they aren't working properly as it just links back to the front page. Looks like you are using normal style URLs.

What I'd do is ftp into your site and delete everything from your cache/ directory except for the index.html file, and then go into your control panel and clear the cache and see if that fixes your top posters.

Ok did that but now I have nothing (the cache rebuilt and I can see them in the directory again... but as far as showing them at all, the portals don't show up at all now.

Ok index.html is empty. I don't think that is right could be wrong though (since I have never opened it to look).

Ok Rick I got that fixed by taking an old cache and replacing it in the cache folder. (Top Posters would not re-populate from the cache-builder directory even though both of them are present there). Taking an older one I just inserted it cleared cache and it fixed the issue.

It sounds like possibly the permissions are incorrect on that folder and it can't write to it. I'd check the permissions on the cache/ folder and make sure it's fully writable.

permission check says ok... though it isn't updating either so I will do a manual check to be sure. I am wondering if it is the similar to what is going on with the calendar or if these are two separate issues altogether. I figure I can get the post counts figured. People are complaining about the calendar more than anything else tongue

Thanks Rick I really appreciate the help. It really is the reason so many will never stray from UBB.

I think it's 2 different issues. The calendar one appears to be a date issue that I need to figure out.

If you manually clear out the directory and then rebuild the cache but those cache files don't get rebuilt, then that's something different for sure (which is why I was thinking it was possibly permissions).

No it isn't permissions. I did a clean install and went through the whole thing from scratch (including redoing a complete DB) still has the same issue. If you clear everything in the cache file and use the cache clear option... 3 things are not rebuilt during it...

1. Top 30 Posters
2. Top Posters
3. Public calendar

I tried it about 4 times this afternoon 2 with a completely new DB and it those three did not transfer from Cachebuilder to Cache.

I took an old version of top 30 (from a backup file from a 7.4 install folder and put it in cache folder... now I have an outdated top 30 that will actually link correctly but it is still not updating.

Ok update Rick...

I changed to a previous version of the calendar (like I did with top posters) now it links correctly to the calendar... though it shows December (which was the cache I used to test with)... the cache is not updating the top-posters or calendar portals.

Finally found it. Will need to put out a 7.5.4.2 update since this will be an issue for everyone that's running 7.5.4.x.

Line 579 of libs/ubbthreads.inc.php has this:

PHP Code

if ($name == "online_now" && !$online_run) {
  include("{$config['FULL_PATH']}/cache_builders/$name.php");
}
 

That needs to be changed to this:

PHP Code

if ($name == "online_now" && $online_run) continue;
include("{$config['FULL_PATH']}/cache_builders/$name.php");

Version 7.5.4.1
Huh???
I found it on line 634.
Edited it but search for the text would not find it. I think there are some extra characters before the last parentheses.
But anyway also had to clear cache and the proper month showed up

Thanks Rick, I kept on looking with partial text searches thinking I could not find the proper string.

Little bug, but big impact, since it basically didn't allow custom islands to be rebuilt wink
