In the past I tested com_puarcade on a server with Register Globals = OFF, and got a lot of errors.
This component needs Register Globals = On, or maybe you can hack the code. (Or inform the author, maybe he/she will improve the code).

I am having the same problem with akoform and akocomment.

I am also having a problem with joomlaboard even with this fix. I can't go past the first page.

- Confirming akocomment problem. Might take a look in a few...

- Joomlaboard: past which first page of what ? pages of a thread works fine.

Might be handy to have a list of components that work/doesn't work with this setting.

I can't get past the first page of the forum. At the top where it says 1 2 3 4 5 . It simply stays on 1. Everything else works fine though that i've checked.

This was also a problem without the fix with register global off.

And we'll just have Beat be the "go to" fixer upper guy, LOL

Seriously though, we love your work Beat

You're the best man, and one of the very few knowledgable enough crank out these great hot fixes so quickly!

Beats fix worked for my Joomlaboard but the discussbot is dead. It doesn't pick up the subject field and doesn't present an input field either. No subject = no post.

tyler · **Posted:** Tue Aug 22, 2006 7:58 am

discussbot works fine for me w/RG emulation off (using Beat's fix).

Component MyLinks http://extensions.joomla.org/component/ ... Itemid,35/ works with register globals off and doesn't work with RG_Emulation set to 0.

I'm posting a message to the developer too.

That means it needs globals ON, right?

MarHaj · **Posted:** Tue Aug 22, 2006 6:13 pm

Not exaclly.
MyLinks component:
register globals off AND RG_Emulation 1 = O.K.
register globals off AND RG_Emulation 0 = Not O.K.

Hackwar · **Posted:** Tue Aug 22, 2006 11:24 pm

that exactly means, that it needs globals = on to work. RG_Emulation = 1 is more or less equal to register_globals = On

Ok thanks, fixed in my post above and on http://www.joomlapolis.com/ :
http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic ... #msg441456

as follows:

Quote:

EDIT: added above for threads page browsing and correct latest posts timeframe selection:

Code:

if (isset($_GET["page"])) $page  = mosGetParam ( $_GET, 'page' , '' );   //BBTEMPFIX
if (isset($_GET["sel"])) $sel  = mosGetParam ( $_GET, 'sel' , '' );   //BBTEMPFIX

Hope will get to the other stuff soon.

Thanks Beat it works beautifully

One wish it would be very helpfull, if there would be a list in first post.
listing Components which need global emulation on and link to fix, like the 3rd party list.

Would do it myself, but i am not the thread starter, so please... :-*

infograf768 · **Posted:** Wed Aug 23, 2006 8:37 am

I guess you are welcome to start a new thread with that list.

Hackwar · **Posted:** Wed Aug 23, 2006 10:07 am

BTW: In the backend, the switching with users does not work correctly. if you look in the admin.joomlaboard.php, you see an area, where the variable cid is retrieved with mosgetparam. this has to be repeated for the variable uid to work.

Websmurf · **Posted:** Wed Aug 23, 2006 12:05 pm

I started a list in the first post. Please let me know if there are any additions.

Hackwar · **Posted:** Wed Aug 23, 2006 1:17 pm

Ok, to elaborate on my previous post:
Replace this in /administrator/components/com_joomlaboard/admin.joomlaboard.php from line 166:

Code:

$cid = mosGetParam( $_POST, 'cid', array(0) );
if (!is_array( $cid )) {
   $cid = array(0);
}

with this:

Code:

$cid = mosGetParam( $_POST, 'cid', array(0) );
if (!is_array( $cid )) {
   $cid = array(0);
}
$uid = mosGetParam( $_REQUEST, 'uid', array(0) );
if (!is_array( $uid )) {
   $uid = array(0);

I have to admit, that I'm not 100% sure, if uid is supposed to be an array, but after changing this, the view of the user details in the backend worked again.

Ako Forms is missing from the list

I think, you mean Artforms. It does not work with global off. :-(

Does ArtForms work or not with RG_EMULATION OFF ?

I will look at ArtForms, as soon as done with Joomla and CB, and will take the project further.

on my testsystem with reg_emulation off, it does not work. no forms are displayed.

Is Artforms still being developed, thought I heard/read somewhere that development has stopped.

Development was stopped by his author. But in agreement with auther, we decided that I will take devlopment further of this nice simple component and of a few others. I already created project on forge. Just need the time to get to it. Right now Joomla and CB manage to eat my free time. But the RG_EMULATION OFF compatibility fix will trigger a first new release on forge

No, I mean AkoForms http://www.konze.de/products/akoforms.html
I have send Arthur a note last week but there is no reply back yet.

Looks like the chron capability of feedgator quits working with register global emulation off.

I do confirm there is problem with AkoComent. :'(

I am running the tweaked version of it and cannot post comments with RG emulation on. Tested several times.

Ok. Here akoComment version "(2.0) 1.1.3" temporary fix, as just working now with postings fine on http://www.joomlapolis.com/ :

Edit components/com_akocomment.php and replace:

Code:

# Don't allow direct linking
  defined( '_VALID_MOS' ) or die( 'Direct Access to this location is not allowed.' );

by:

Code:

# Don't allow direct linking
  defined( '_VALID_MOS' ) or die( 'Direct Access to this location is not allowed.' );

  //BBTEMPFIX:
  $acitemid = (int) mosGetParam( $_POST, "acitemid" );
  $contentid = (int) mosGetParam( $_POST, "contentid" );
  $title = mosGetParam( $_POST, "title" );
  $comment = mosGetParam( $_POST, "comment" );
  $acname = mosGetParam( $_POST, "acname" );
  # Added following one extra line to make the security images solution by DPaulus to work - Reind Dooyeweerd  
  $akocode = mosGetParam( $_POST, "akocode" );
  //end of BBTEMPFIX

UPDATE: added security images in fix above as confirmed to work ok.

For Backend lists to work:

Edit file administrator/components/admin.akocomment.php as follows:

Add just BEFORE the line 14 starting with "switch..." :

Code:

//BBTEMPFIX
$task = mosGetParam( $_REQUEST, 'task', null );
$cid = mosGetParam( $_REQUEST, 'cid', array( 0 ) );
$uid = mosGetParam( $_REQUEST, 'uid', array( 0 ) );
if (!is_array( $cid )) {
   $ocid=$cid;
   $cid = array ();
   $cid[]=$ocid;
   mosArrayToInts($cid);
}
//END OF BBTEMPFIX

EDIT: Added backend fix.
EDIT: Added filenames to edit and clarified instructions.
EDIT: Added $akocode = mosGetParam( $_POST, "akocode" ); to make Security Images work, as suggested and confirmed here: http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic ... #msg461862
