OK I have run into two more problems. One I can duplicate here on this site..
Problem 1
--------
I have a help button on my site that I wanted to link straight to my Help category(#8). I assumed the URL would be:
http://www.pokemon-trading-cards.net/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?Cat=8 When I use this URL and click on any of the 4 forums therein I start getting SQL errors
SQL ERROR: Unable to do_query: SELECT Bo_Number,Bo_Title,Bo_Keyword,Bo_Cat,Bo_CatName,Bo_Sorter FROM w3t_Boards WHERE (Bo_Read_Perm LIKE '%-3-%' OR Bo_Read_Perm LIKE '%-1-%') AND (Bo_Cat = ) ORDER BY Bo_Cat,Bo_Sorter
You have an error in your SQL syntax near ') ORDER BY Bo_Cat,Bo_Sorter ' at line 5
I noticed that after I used the above url, the cat=8 followed me everywhere, including when I altered my display preferences to show Categories only on the main index.
When I did this and then clicked the main index button from the My Home page, it sent me to
http://www.pokemon-trading-cards.net/ubbthreads/categories.php?Cat=8 where I get more SQL errors
On every page you get these errors, if you change the cat=8 to cat= in the url, the errors go away.
OK, so I was surfing both my site and this one and noticed that in the urls it is always 'cat=' so I wanted to see what url the programming used.. which brings me to
problem 2.
----------
I found the url I should be using is this:
http://www.pokemon-trading-cards.net/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?Cat=&C=8 The problem is, for this url to work, you must be logged in AND have your display preferences set to display categories only on the home page
I am able to duplicate this here on ubbdev.com with this url:
https://www.ubbdev.com/threads/php/ubbthreads.php?Cat=&C=2 It does not matter if I am logged in here or not, when I go to the above url I see all categories and all forums.
If I edit my preferences here to show categories only, the above url works and I only see cat2 and related forums
