We are running version 6.34 (SQL version).  Can I just remove the old files and upload the new files and re-run the sql setup page?  Will my old messages and users be intact when I do this or is there another way I should upgrade.

Thanks

I know you get fed up of all these questions Bruce, but im on 7.01, can I just stick all the 7.7 files in?

i think you can

and becose about V7.1 there was a database change for Active Users - which i think isnt used any more anyway (sumfin to do with the Browser they use?)

Thankz for that I have upgraded and all seams ok.

Good work BoRg 

PS

I don’t know if its me but I downloaded the forum and looked at the Version history and only found it go’s up to version 7.6 to version 7.6a.

I have updated ok as I only placed the new files up on the host with my database.

I get this error after upgrading SQL 7.6 to 7.7, whenever I look at someone's profile:

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01f4' Variable is undefined: 'strTxtOnlineStatus' /entrustment/forums/pop_up_profile.asp, line 287

In which file is this variable defined?  Did I miss copying up one file?

Thanks.

that's probably due to a mod by maddog u installed (online users status ).

Delete maddogs code, or simply replace forum_posts.asp.

You need to add the following to your language_file_inc.asp

Const strTxtOnlineStatus = "Online Status"

The version history file didnt say this file got changed but it did. (oops)

That should fix your prob

I have a question about the upgrade from version 7.6 to 7.7.

In the Version History.txt it says the following for 7.7:

5. tblActiveUsers - table removed from the database as it is no-longer used
6. msSQL_server_setup.asp - removed the creating of the tblActiveUsers table and the stored procedures:-
 -wwfSPActiveUsersWhereIPis
 -wwfSPAddNewActiveUser
 -wwfSPUpdateActiveUser
 -wwfSPDeleteActiveUser
 -wwfSPDeleteActiveUserDoubleEntry
 -wwfSPCountOfActiveUsers
 -wwfSPCountOfActiveGuests

Should I manually delete that table and stored procedures or just leave them? Since this is not a new install, these are already created and I guess with the new code changes, these are no longer used.

Thanks,

Joey

it may be a string maddog added to the language file along with xtra code in forum_posts.asp   ...either that or the language file has changed like u said. Both is possible.

Hey -boRg-, you may want to correct the version history.txt file to mention that the language file is changed as well. Right now it doesnt mention that it is. This would help the people who have mods and are upgrading manually.

Joey

Thank you all!  Copying over that language include file did the trick.  I then needed to replace the forum_posts file so that I could see the on/offline tag on the posts, but that was not a problem now that I understand where the variables were coming from.

Thanks again.  I appreciate it.

Strange name bug?
I'm posting this question here, because I felt it did not deserve a new topic. I searched for this "bug" on the forum, but I couldn't find any information on it, so here it goes.

I've been using the board (latest version) for a couple of days now and I've noticed somethng strange was happening. When I look at the forum statistics, Active Users I some times see strange names....like "Freedom Warrior" or "Ladylucy". I first thought, oh well, new members or someone probaly changed their name, but when I clicked on the name I could see it was an old user.

I also noticed that at times my name is displayed as "Bibi Baba" (or something like that, I don't remember anymore) insted of "Bruce"....it's al very strange and confusing because it isn't even my name (it just shows it like that in the active users list), same goes for the other users.

What I'd like to know is, is this a bug? Or is it an Easteregg, or something else? (I'm using the free version btw).

Thanks alot Bruce Corkhill for spending time building this forum and making it available for free.

Update:
Found another one, -][B.B][- is another one I believe and suddenly a user with the name "ttlsysop" appeared on the list, but when I click on the name I get an "this user does not excist" error:

Profile Sorry no profile can be found for this user Close Window

Joey805 wrote: If you overwrite the file, you'll wipe out your mods. You'll need to input the code for your mods again if you do. Other than that, you could check out version history.txt and see what files are updated with 7.7 and move them manually.

Ok now i understand thanks

Are you using a free host Bruce??

Then see topic:

Ah, thanks alot, I should have utilized the search function better, thanks anyways. I guess this is the problem I'm facing.....

Interesting problem (I don't think it is a bug, only something I missed).

I upgraded from 7.6 to 7.7 of course replacing my files with the newer versions.

One thing I noticed is that everything appears to be working except one thing, from the forum members menu and you click on a member to view their profile, I get a  Error  500 Internal Server Error.

In 7.6, it worked fine, but in 7.7 I am having a problem with it.

What am I missing?  Or shall I say, what did I possibly change that would cause it not to work now?

Thanks,

Rob

I get also an error for as well the normal user as for the administrator on both wwwebserver and a different localserver, and it is in 7.7. (7.6 is working fine with no problems)

The Error I get is:

Technical Information (for support personnel)

• Error Type:
  Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A000D)
  Type mismatch: 'UBound'
  /cash/forum/pop_up_profile.asp, line 182
  
• Browser Type:

• Page:
  GET /cash/forum/pop_up_profile.asp

Steps I tried:
Upload new Forum SW (all files overwrite old) to webserver. Problem exists
Deleted the Forum folder
Upload new Forum SW (all files) to webserver again. Problem still exists.

Please shine a light

addendum:
I noticed the line mentioned is containing new script compared with WWF7.6:

For intArrayPass = 1 To UBound(saryActiveUsers, 2)
If saryActiveUsers(1, intArrayPass) = lngProfileNum Then blnIsUserOnline = True
Next

You got the point Bruce.

I have indeed active users turned off. (wanted option)

Knowing this I tried to activate active users and then it works OK.

I know this isn't the right place but...

I was looking at some mods and I am a bit confused. I just updated my form to sql and webwiz forum 7.7 and the mod I was looking at to show birthdays wants me to change the database connection he gives. This must be stored on a page someplace and I am guessing I would just do an include. Does someone know what page this is stored on?

what about 7.1 to 7.7 ?

jee thers i most modify all my mods again

hey zadax,

dont worry.

i downloaded all mods 4m the site and tried on 7.7. max worked. which didnt im trying 2 figure out changes

im making a list n soon post which mods works with v7.7

Hi there!

I have been busy developing my website and forgot to follow all the changes you guys did to the forum. And now I see there have been so many changes from my version (7.5) to the fresh version.

I did not do much tailoring to the original 7.5 except that I had to translate my language files to Croatian. I have tested 7.7 locally by overwriting all of the files and adding the missing text in one of the language files and it seems okay but I cannot login as an administrator or any user from the admin group.

Please, tell me what is the quickest (and safest) way to move from 7.5 to 7.7. I have no problems with asp programming whatsoever.

Congrats for the good job and support, and greetings from Croatia

Sorry Borg but 1 line on ur behalf

You're right. I have tried with Crazy Browser but it is using MSIE's dlls (and cookies,too I guess). Now I have tried with Mozilla and Opera and it works fine

7.1 > 7.7 ?

7.5>7.7

ok...we installed the new forum...managed to keep all the posts, which is a frickin' miracle!!!

there's only one problem...i can't get into my admin menu anymore...so...any suggestions on what i've done wrong or overlooked? i can log in as administrator, just don't get the admin menu anymore...

help!?

Greetings, great work borg.

I was wondering if when a user is Online, if the "online" part was green? that way someone would recognize that the user is online a bit better. Get what I mean?

Online Status: Offline

Online Status: Online

In the language_files/language_file_inc.asp  File

I just added the  <font color=#3CB11D><b>Online</b></font>

to my online status. It looks alot better.

I think I have the same problem. Updated from 7.6 > 7.7 just kept my old db. Can´t access the admin area, says that i'm not authorized.

Changing to the new, empty db from 7.7 zip, it works fine.

I have even tried to erase the whole forum (except db) and make a "clean" install...

Good for me that I saved a backup of the working 7.6 before I started

Lamur,

That's a cool little mod. That small change does make a big difference.

Thanks

Jason

I just installed a new copy of 7.7 and get this error when clicking on a forum.

 Item cannot be found in the collection corresponding to the requested name or ordinal.
/pc/forum/forum_topics.asp, line 424

Any ideas

Why there can't be an exact folder path in changelog txt-file (Version History) Would be a lot easier to find if it's root or admin folder. OK "both" and other words may help. What should I do with Access, how can I update it??

1. Erm, I have to say, that there is no Czechoslovakia on our world, the country_list should be updated :-))) This bohemian country in the heart of Europe was divided in 1993 into Czech Republic (Česká republika) and Slovakia (Slovenská republika)
2. And my problem is: I'm using two Web Wiz Forums 7.7 on my server and they are causing several problems. When I was using 7.6, there were only problems with Active users, when somebody was on one forum, he was shown also on the other even if he wasn't registered there, even if his user name was not in this forums member list. And now, this problem continues, but there aro also some new problems. The main configuration of the one forum affects also the other. The name, forum image and also, when I close one forum, the other is also closed. The fields in admin configuration remains correct, but the last changes, that I do on one forum are shown also on the other, even if on this forum the fields in admin configuration remains different and for this forum correct. Please, how can I fix this problem?

Thanks.

I'm sorry for all the mistakes I've done and also for the bad language. I'm still a student. 

Thanks a lot!!!

Yes, but the difference is that Czechoslovakia doesn't exist. Only in historical literature :-)

Questions about Web Wiz Forums version 7.7 Licence contract

1. When you say “You may modify source code” is this includes the forum’s color? I have no intention of making it look like my own work but my site uses frames so in order to fit your forum in it I should change its color. (At least the background) Otherwise it will look terrible
2. About your logo at the up left corner. Must I keep it? In the administrators section I have the option to remove or change it and place my own logo with a hyperlink to my default page. You refer to it as “Forum Title Image Location:This replaces the Web Wiz Forum's logo that is shown on the top of each page. Your own web sites banner logo would be good to place here.”  Of course I will keep your copyrights and links at the bottom of the page, but when you say “You may not deactivate, change, remove, all or any hyper links or links to Web Wiz Guide and the Web Wiz Guide powered by logo's, text, or images” is this includes the logo at the up left corner or this is optional and it is used as a demo?  The problem for me to keep it is that it does not look good on a dark background.

Can version 7.0 be just staraight upgraded to 7.7? or are their any complications I should know about?

Fantastic product by the way

Hi everyone!
