SMF 1.1.11, SP 2.3.1

I have serveral boards, all private but one. Within the Board News block I'd like to show from three different boards.

If I use the default settings, it works as expected. You can only see posts from those boards that you have access too. If unregistered or logged out, you see posts from the one public board. When you login you see posts from those boards you have access too.

However, I'd prefer to be able to pick the boards shown. When I choose which boards to show, they show to everyone, with or without the correct permissions. So if I pick my three boards, two of them being private, even those logged out or unregistered can see posts from the private boards in the block.

I really appreciate the help. However it now wants to download \index.php like its a file (when opening home).

[Nathaniel]

Huh. I don't think that that is a related issue. The edit in my post above was not substantial, so its highly unlikely that it is the cause of that issue.

Does it only occur when that edit has been made? Can you remove the edit and see if its still happening?

[Eloryn]

Yeah, I checked it like five times. Permissions are all the same. Seems a bit odd to me also. But I've gone back and forth with the original and the fix. Using firefox.

Edit: All the other buttons work fine. Clicking Home button and it tries to download the index.php. Undo the fix and the problem goes away.

[Eloryn]

Okay, a little more progress on this. I swapped fix back in again, as some kind of sadistic last test to prove I wasn't crazy. And this time it worked..... Which only proved to me I was crazy because I knew what I saw before. lol.

I then went in and changed the boards it uses for the news (selected three of them [one public, two private]). And the problem is back. Home button wants to download index.php.

When turning off all selected boards (default setting), the problem goes away.

[Eloryn]

And I just verified the original again. It hasn't got this problem, no matter what boards are selected. But it still has the original problem, of course.

[Nathaniel]

Hmm, I still can't work out why that edit would be causing any issues.

Does the problem occur (without the edit made) if you set the block so that all boards are shown? (Deselect all boards to do that)

[Eloryn]

It only happens with this edit, and only when certain boards are chosen. It does not happen without this. And it does not happen if I have the default settings (no boards selected).

If I use the fix, and choose a board, it does not work.

Now that Christmas is over, is anyone able to help me with this?

[Nathaniel]

Could you please attach your Sources/PortalBlocks.php file?

[Eloryn]

There ya go. Thanks, for the help too.

Sorry for the wait on this issue, the replace code should be:

Code Select Expand

$request = db_query("
SELECT t.ID_FIRST_MSG
FROM {$db_prefix}topics AS t
INNER JOIN {$db_prefix}boards AS b ON (b.ID_BOARD = t.ID_BOARD)
INNER JOIN {$db_prefix}messages AS m ON (m.ID_MSG = t.ID_FIRST_MSG)
WHERE " . $user_info['query_see_board'] . (empty($board) ? "
AND t.ID_FIRST_MSG >= " . ($modSettings['maxMsgID'] - 45 * min($limit, 5)) : "AND b.ID_BOARD IN (" . implode(', ', $board) . ")") . "
AND (t.locked != 1 OR m.icon != 'moved')
ORDER BY t.ID_FIRST_MSG DESC
LIMIT $limit", __FILE__, __LINE__);

[Eloryn]

I think that's the same as the first? I can't see anything different. But I did copy/paste it as is, and I still have the same problem.

Try this one instead:

Code ("Find (Sources/PortalBlocks.php)") Select Expand

$request = db_query("
SELECT t.ID_FIRST_MSG
FROM {$db_prefix}topics AS t
INNER JOIN {$db_prefix}boards AS b ON (b.ID_BOARD = t.ID_BOARD)
INNER JOIN {$db_prefix}messages AS m ON (m.ID_MSG = t.ID_FIRST_MSG)
WHERE " . (empty($board) ? $user_info['query_see_board'] . "
AND t.ID_FIRST_MSG >= " . ($modSettings['maxMsgID'] - 45 * min($limit, 5)) : "b.ID_BOARD IN (" . implode(', ', $board) . ")") . "
AND (t.locked != 1 OR m.icon != 'moved')
ORDER BY t.ID_FIRST_MSG DESC
LIMIT $limit", __FILE__, __LINE__);

Code ("Replace") Select Expand

$request = db_query("
SELECT t.ID_FIRST_MSG
FROM {$db_prefix}topics AS t
INNER JOIN {$db_prefix}boards AS b ON (b.ID_BOARD = t.ID_BOARD)
INNER JOIN {$db_prefix}messages AS m ON (m.ID_MSG = t.ID_FIRST_MSG)
WHERE " . $user_info['query_see_board'] . (empty($board) ? "
AND t.ID_FIRST_MSG >= " . ($modSettings['maxMsgID'] - 45 * min($limit, 5)) : " AND b.ID_BOARD IN (" . implode(', ', $board) . ")") . "
AND (t.locked != 1 OR m.icon != 'moved')
ORDER BY t.ID_FIRST_MSG DESC
LIMIT $limit", __FILE__, __LINE__);

[Eloryn]

Awesome, that fixed it. Thanks for all the help.

You're welcome.
