UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 7 Development How Do I? Reading a post in flat mode - Actual post not showing up.

When checking Online before it used to show what post someone was reading, now it just says "reading a post in flat moder" without showing which post the person is reading.
I have gone thru and checked the online template and online file and can't find the problem.

Can anyone help?

I think people can set that in their own privacy settings.... In the editbasic.php

"Do you want users to see the actual forum/post you are looking at?
Yes No "

It won't hide it from an admin though.

if you see a user generically reading a post in flat mode - usually that means they followed a link to a post that they aren't allwoed to read - they are on the 'showflat.php" script - so the online show's "reading a post in flat mod" although what they are really seeing is an intercept /error message that they aren't authorized to see that.

To regular users - if you adjust the settings so that they can't see the actual post - then they'll see (private) instead of the title of a post. But the admin always sees all.

I am an admin and it doesn't show anything to me.
It shows "showing a list of posts" with a link to which forum they are viewing a listing for.
But when it shows "viewing a post in flat mode: (or threaded mode) there is no link or mention of which thread they are reading.
The registered users are allowed to read all posts so they aren't trying to view something they shouldn't be.

I had some people make sure they had the "let users see what post I am reading" enabled and I still can't see it in the online page.

Ah - so it's not just occationally you are seeing a user without a post - you don't see it ever.

Then there must be something wrong. Is anything modified?

I'd try a clean copy of ubbt.inc.php, online.php and online.tmpl to see if that solves it - if not, that would be a bug to report to infopop for sure. If that solves it, I would slowly add back any hacks that might affect those files to see what might be causing the trouble.

Josh, Everything has been modified!
I already did the clean install of online template and online php, will try it with the ubbt.inc.

Next likely culprets would be showflat (and maybe showthreaded)

Did you upgrade with a clean copy of 6.3 - or use beyond compare?

I think the online tracking stuff has changed it bit. The more I think about it, it's probably showflat - and if you upgraded by comparing files - you might have missed a minor change.

The more I think about it, I'd start with showflat before I fooled with ubbt.inc.php.

I redid the online template, online.php, ubbt.inc and it still is doing it.
I will keep digging and let you know if I come up with anything.
I was hoping someone would know what part of the code made this display and I could narrow it down more or add a fix.

Thanks!

It's in the send_header function of ubbt.inc.php.

Thanks Josh, It always helps to know where to look!
