Could this have to do with the order the text is retrieved for the database? I recall there being a problem if a text field from a recordset was stored to variable without the text field being the last field called in the SQL statement.

.... or something like that.]]> Tue, 04 May 2004 14:50:30 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/edit-posts-quote-other-user-not-working_topic8979_post56067.html#56067 <![CDATA[Edit posts/quote other user not working : I just did an upgrade to SQL...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/edit-posts-quote-other-user-not-working_topic8979_post56056.html#56056 Author: JohnKn

I just did an upgrade to SQL as well and ran into the same problem,however I worked out a solution without having to change the connectionstring. The connection string I'm using is:

strCon = "Driver={SQL Server};Server={serverName};Database=dbName;trusted_connecti on=true;"
On to the fix...If you move strMessage = rsCommon("Message")from line 153 to line 132 in edit_post.asp (ww version 7.6a), just after you open therecord set, it  should solve the problem, it did for me. Forwhatever reason ASP is losing the value of the variable if it comeslater.

It also seems to be a problem only with the standard text editor, ifyou have the WYSIWYG editor turned on it correctly reads the post intothe edit field without having to modify the code since it gets thevalue in a different manner.

I hope this helps.

John

Thank you, boRg! I was afraid that was the answer, but I'll fight it out with them some more~]]> Fri, 16 Jan 2004 15:53:47 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/edit-posts-quote-other-user-not-working_topic8979_post47399.html#47399 <![CDATA[Edit posts/quote other user not working : The forum is designed to use a...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/edit-posts-quote-other-user-not-working_topic8979_post47364.html#47364 Author: WebWiz-Bruce

The forum is designed to use a DNS-less OLE connection to the SQL server.

When I was making the forum I did find that if a DSN or other driverwas used there is problems like you mention that I couldn't find a wayto over come.

Your only solution is to get your hosts to sort out the SQL sreverproblem so that you can connect to it using the forums default SQL OLEDSN-less driver.

I'm using the SQL version - everything was working fine until my webhost moved my SQL db to a new server. The site was screwed up for a couple weeks, but they finally got everything working. One of the guys there told me he got my forum working again by using a DSN, but I get no replies from them, so I thought I'd see if anyone here could offer advice.

Since I got back up & running, I can do pretty much everything except when users go to "edit posts" they've already made, the input field is completely blank (so they can't edit anything cause there is nothing there). Also, when you go to "quote" something from someone else's post, the code for quotes ("[quote]") is there, but there is no text between the delimiters. Also, been having problems with Private Messages (can send them, but when I go to open/delete them the page just sits there forever and never works).

Anyone have any advice other than continue to nag my dumb webhost? They suck, and I have a feeling I'll never get a straight answer. :(

Thanks!
