I thought this needed to be brought to attention incase someone else comes across this issue or it needs to be fixed in the next version.

 

I installed and setup our new Web Wiz forums but I found uploads we'ren't working from the RET Editor. i.e. you couldn't upload a file in the popup window to select your image/file. You would browse for the file and click upload, but it does nothing - simply posts back without uploading. Uploads worked when users upload in their own filemanager section first however.

 

After an extensive search I tracked down the problem to RTE_popup_adv_image.asp and RTE_popup_file_atch.asp. Some boolean conditions weren't being met in order to upload namely: blnRead, blnPost or blnReply and this is due to the forumPermissions function not being run in order to obtain these values.

To fix the issue I therefore added the following lines before it does the check for the upload of the file:

 

'read in the forum ID and message box type
intForumID = CInt(getSessionItem("FID"))

'Check the user is welcome in this forum
Call forumPermissions(intForumID, intGroupID)

 

And it now works fine.

 

Note that the non-RTE editor works ok because those pages do contain the neccessary lines of code.

 

Hope this helps

I have been working on figuring out why uploading wasn't working in 9.52 for am hour now. I briefly messed around with it yesterday too. I suspected something was wrong with the new code and permissions since a lot of that seemed ot be different. but I hadn't dug that far yet. I would have figured it out but I am glad I don't have to keep working on it.

Thanks for posting this.

Your fix works perfectly..
