You shouldn't run a version 9 database with version 7 as you will end up with a corrupted database.

You need to be using the database for the version you are running.

Upgrading your database and not the frontend will not secure your forum, as the database simply stores the data, it's the code in the frontend which reads, writes, and manipulates the data.

If you have updated your database to version 9 then update your frontend to version 9 ASAP before you end up loosing the lot by corrupting the database.

This will also sortout the issue you mention with version 7's search tools as version 9 has new improved, more secure, search tools (this is the code not the database).

boRg,
This morning I put a password on the two private rooms we have on our overall forum, and the SEARCH function using a normal user account reveals Topic Information (not the message body) from the Private Rooms.
Is there anything in the version 7 interface that can disable Search Queries from revealing anything from the private rooms? Or maybe something from Version 9 forums that can be used in a version 7 interface?
Again, our database is secured and upgraded to version 9.]]> Thu, 02 Aug 2007 12:16:09 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/search-function-on-forums_topic24029_post125904.html#125904 https://forums.webwiz.net/search-function-on-forums_topic24029_post125903.html#125903 Author: Talon

The permissions are set per group. So there is a private group of members allowed into these private rooms merely by changing their status to a this group by the admin.
Although we upgraded the database to v9, we are using the old version 7 forum interface. I looked in the forum admin pages and could not find where I could set up passwords for access to the private forums which are set up via group permissions.

It shouldn't do this.

Is the forum password protected on using the permissions system to prevent access?

I noticed that when doing a search on web wiz forums, that it is possible to see the TOPIC line of the private group rooms, by the general public and members. Is it possible to set the forums so that any SEARCH queries do not pull topic information from private rooms?]]> Thu, 02 Aug 2007 05:53:29 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/search-function-on-forums_topic24029_post125879.html#125879
