Re: Modules Send Mail Through SMTP - 4 years ago

I was also having this issue, and finally solved it with a couple tweaks. First, in smtp_mail.php comment out line 38 and add: // require_once("./mods/smtp_mail/phpmailer/class.phpmailer.php"); require_once("./mods/smtp_mail/phpmailer/PHPMailerAutoload.php"); Then also, in the setting page I had the hostname as: smtp.mydomain.com but it nee

I solved my own problem. It was a client issue. My web browser was blocking them with the Ghostery extension.

Re: Module: Event Logging = IPV6 IP addresses truncated to 15 chars - 4 years ago

I am having an issue with the latest version of this module (and phorum) The small icons for Debug/Info/Warning/Error/Alert which reside in mods/event_logging/images/loglevels/ are not displaying on the "view logged events" and "filter logged events" pages. However, if I right-click the broken links and select "open image in new tab" they open up fine. ???

Re: Phorum 5.2 and php7 - 7 years ago

I am experimenting with PHP 7.3.6 and it's working, although I'm finding a few problems and warnings... First off, in the admin.php under Global Settings "Censor List" causes badwords.php to throw this warning: QuotePHP warning: Use of undefined constant string - assumed 'string' (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) PHP warning generated at

error with disabled user profile page - 10 years ago

I recently pulled up the profile page for a disabled user (linked from an old message) and then noticed a series of errors like this in the event log: QuoteMessage: PHP notice: Undefined index: PROFILE PHP notice generated at /var/www/html/web/phorum/cache/tpl-emerald-enhanced_custom_profiles__profile-4346d65c6d20e753802c299fdde1f707.php-stage2:31 Back trace: Function include

Re: Search handling attachments - 11 years ago

What about just a search to locate posts with attachments? (not searching the content of the attachments) Perhaps a checkbox - "find only posts with attachments" Also can we search the attachment filename?

Security - strong passwords - 13 years ago

I was looking for a mod to increase security for phorum. Specifically, something to: - require stronger passwords. (options for minimum password length, require numbers and symbols, exclude dictionary words, etc) - set expirations on passwords to force periodic password change (needed to force existing users to update to a new strong password) I searched and didn't find any pri

Failed login message for Pending moderator confirmation - 13 years ago

I have Registration Verification set up to require moderator and email approval. When a new user registers, approves his email and then attempts to log in, he gets the error: "That username/password was not found or is inactive. Please try again." In the admin "Edit users" section, the new users shows up as "Pending moderator confirmation", so the login script

Re: Module: Topic Poll - 14 years ago

I'd like to request a feature for this module: An option to list the usernames of who voted for each option. This would make the poll non-anonymous, but would be useful in knowing who was voting for what, and more importantly, who has and hasn't voted. My forum has less than 40 users, and the polls I want to conduct only survey about 15 people, so this wouldn't be overwhelmin

Can we get an update on the progress of 5.3? Are people using it on live sites yet? I'm really looking forward to the authentication integration!

Re: Searching certain words in posts? - 15 years ago

Thanks Maurice, Those links helped. It took me a while to read through and sort out how to fix it, so here is my simple solution... I added the following two lines to /etc/my.cnf ft_min_word_len=3 ft_stopword_file="" then restarted mysqld and rebuilt the search database from admin.php I can see why different admins would want different settings for this, depending on s

Searching certain words in posts? - 15 years ago

I have noticed that searching for certain common words such as "old" and "all" finds no results in the Phorum search box, even under Advanced with all dates and all forums. (on my own site as well as this forum) Can anyone independently verify this, and more importantly, explain it?

Eureka! Yes it was a simple thing - he had changed his setting from "Newest Messages" to "Newest Topics". I hadn't played with those settings at all before, so it didn't occur to me. Thanks!

Re: Module: Recent Messages - 18 years ago

I'm getting some strange behavior for one of my users. New messages are sometimes not appearing in recent messages. The strange part is that it seems to be a user-specific problem. I had the user log in on my computer and he gets the same behavior. He can view the messages by going to the forum, but they just don't show up in recent messages. Any ideas?

Re: Idea for new User profile module - 18 years ago

True, but it would be nice if this could be accomplished without any template modification. In fact, I think (at least part of) it can via hooks. I agree that it would be nice if it could be done cleanly in the admin or a module, without having to muck with the templates.
