Joomla! Discussion Forums

okay, I just tested the latest round of changes (w/RG em Off) and the image & file uploads work fine.  So does the subscribe me option.

I did not test to see if something in excess of the configured filesize limits will still get through or not.  Was wondering 1st if it is even something that needs to be tested with respect to the other $_FILES vars in the component code.

On my Joomlaboard forum the function "Mark all forums read" doesn't work afer apllying all fixes above. Anyone could test it as well?

After turning register_globals off, I cannot use the Karma function for Joomlaboard 1.1.2.  It says this:



Anyone else notice this problem?  How do I fix this?

Rob, Beat, thanks for the insights    I appreciate it.

Tyler: from what I know, we don't need to check for the other 4 variables within XXX_upload.php because they're not where the problem is.  As Beat pointed out, the problem is really in the trigger within post.php, so this is just a patch for that trigger.  I think replacing 'name' with 'tmp_name' should also work.

t-spark: I can duplicate your problem

This should fix it


Please confirm.

hmmm, i tried it and it popped the javascript saying they were all marked as read, but when I get back to the forum, it still maintains that many of the posts I'm viewing are still new.

Tyler: I can't reproduce your problem  !
It's working on different platforms for me ... don't know where the discrepancy is 

Thanks, it works fine for me!

yeah, me either, I even tried changing it from POST to REQUEST and that didn't do the trick, even quadruple checked to make sure I wasn't mistakenly uploading to my test server either, so I'm still at a loss as far as my tests go.


UPDATE:
Just found out this is a personal problem I'm having.  Even w/RG on, I still experience the problems w/marking posts/forums as read.  I'll have to deal with this one on my own, but thanks for the fix, cuz it probably will resolve the RG issue for me when I do isolate this other problem I'm having.

One off component that dont work when register globals are 0 is

mospjirc

Hier is my post in components section..

http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,89631.0.html

Hope someone can fix this somehow )

I turned globals to 1 again, with CB 1.0.1

This fixes that problem:






Thanks for the fix, works as expected. Added to my post overview post above:
http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic ... #msg441456

added it to the list

The Karma function works now.  Thanks so much, Beat!  You rock!

Ditto for me, Karma now works with Beat's fix

Beat-
I'm sorry for bothering but I don't quite follow your fix for akocomment. Exactly what files should I be editing? Thanks in advance-

Thanks for noticing that the edit instructions were a little short-cutted. Added filenames and clarified instructions. Please check my again my edited post:

Could anyone get any Coppermine Bridge to work with RG off and joomla 1.0.11? Everything works fine in 1.0.11 but when i turn RG Emulation to off i only get a blank page with the coppermine bridge =(

thanks Adam for start this thread and thanks to beat for the fixes. fixing joomla while sleeping 
hats off!! 

I am getting the alert when I upgrade to 1.0.11 that

PHP register_globals setting is `ON` instead of `OFF`

In globals.php I have

define( 'RG_EMULATION', 0 );

What else needs to be changed? 

I think you'll need to request your host to turn it off.

So this alert is a warning that the host's system may not recognize when the register global is tuned off on individual sites.  Isn't this what the php.ini file was supposed to resolve if the host would not turn the global function off?  Nothing has really changed in the area other than there is now an alert. 

Sanni,

register globals depends on the host. It's possible to turn it off for whole server, or just for the virtual server.
Check from the admin panel  > system info. If it says Register Globals:  OFF, it's off.

Thanks. My accounts are on different servers with the same host and and on one the register globals are off and on another they are on. 

Hello, after  applying emulation 0, even though I applied all fixes to joomlaboard, threaded view stopped working. Can anybody post a fix for it?

Fix is as follows:

Beat: is there a way that you could look in mospjirc.2.1.2?. Normal pjirc java applet work just fine, so i think it just need to be edited the login page that generete this component...

Thnx

Sorry, have to put priorities elsewhere right now, all of this should be task of the authors...

I'm sharing the results of the work done for JoomlaPolis and other websites, and giving fixes for the great testing done in the community.

I'm not using mospjirc anywhere...maybe the author or somebody else can pick that one...maybe even you...

it's not very hard: look at the urls used that don't work, and for posts in the html code at the names in

Hi,

RSGallery2 latest version 1.11.6 Alpha is also not compatible with RG_EMULATION = 0, but they are working in a security fix release.

Sanni, you might try adding the following line toward the end of your .htaccess file to see if you can turn register_globals off locally for your sites.



This may or may not help, but if it does, then you will most likely be able to see the change reflected in both your Joomla! System Info and Php Info tabs in the Joomla! admin area. In the Php info tab, you will see a column for "Local Value" and a column for "Master Value". The Local value for registers_global should read "Off" while the Master value will still read "On".

I confirm the same problem with the component. That's not a lot of help but at least you don't have to feel so lonely any more!
