ok im new to all this
i have been moding the forum nicely, until i tried to install the arcade mod i copied over all the files and when i went to run the install it error'd straight away something about MEDALS, so i emailed the author but had no reply, but my forum was dead so i downloaded a new forum from the site and replaced all the files i had replaced with the arcade mod, no it gives me this error Variable is undefined: 'blnWindowsAuthentication' it also gave me this error before any ideas its a new forum and my new members are not gonna be happy not being able to get on, i dont mind loosing all my mods as i can do them again just dont want to loose the membership thanks |

No one is going to help you if you have modified your forum. You need to contact the mod author and make sure you are using a mod that is compatible with the forum version you are using.

I second MadDog's comment; however, if the forum works by only fixing that variable error, then find the file where that variable is used, and add this code to the top: Dim blnWindowsAuthentication ------------- "When it gets dark enough, you can see the stars" -Charles A. Beard |

You should never have to add a Dim statement that is used by WWF. If you do, the mod broke it! Adding a Dim statement that is already defined by WWF is a very bad idea. If that variable was not defined, you don't know what else is not loaded. If parts of the forum are not loaded, you don't know if your forum is secure. ------------- http://www.iportalx.net" rel="nofollow">

if a variable is re-defined, would it not error out?

guys i really apreciate your help here, i know i should not have bothered with the arcade it was by site partner who requested it and as i was not 100% with WWF i should have left well alone, all i really want is to get back to square one and leave it alone apart from the banners i added that is

To get back to square one i would re-upload the forum (but not the database). Next time, if you install a mod, test it on a "test" install of the forum to prevent this from happening. ------------- http://www.iportalx.net" rel="nofollow">

Since i am not official support nor have the hosting from WWF, i can not comment on what is installed on the hosting packages. You should send in a support ticket asking for a reinstall of WWF but keep the current database so members/topics dont get deleted. ------------- http://www.iportalx.net" rel="nofollow">

This variable is declared in the file includes/global_variables_inc.asp. Seems you have not updated all the changed files which you need to do in order for the forum to work correctly. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |
