UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 7 Development How Do I? strange postlist bug

Hi guys,

I just upgraded to 6.4.2 from 6.2.3, quite a major upgrade. All went smoothly, and I was able to install 90% of my previous mods (photopost integration etc). However, there is one strange bug I can't track down. When clicking on a post from the Postlist, the anchor tag to jump down to the first unread post is not working properly. Instead of being #Post<newest post number> it is coming out as #Post<newest post number><first post number>. Can anyone tell me where this number would be generated from, and where I might look to correct the problem.

Here is an example :

43920 is the first post in the thread, and 43922 is the newest post in the thread.

Thanks for any help!

must have fixed it already? cause what I see is #43921 - 05/04/04 07:48 AM

I'm confused..where are you seeing this? Since the "new" post tracking only works for cookied users, you wouldn't see the problem, correct?

ahh maybe I misunderstood then cause as an anon user it looks normal to me..

two things..

1) appriove my registration..

2) Always create a test acct such as threadsdev so others can test..

Yes, it would since anons don't track what the last read post was. I'm guessing this is a problem with a variable being concatenated rather than overwritten, but I can't find where.

1) Done

2) Good idea, I will do that.

okay even logged in I still don't see what your seeing in IE 6nor Mozzilla 1.7 I still see

Check the Garbage Pail forum. I'm making several posts in there which should be new to you.

This only happens on the postlist page, when you click on the thread name. It doesn't happen on the main index where the last post is shown next to each forum...

okay well I did the above link and get this

I am telling ya there is nothing wrong. this is what ya can do and I have done several times.. if you have users that you know have them post what they see...

It was a user that reported the problem in the first place....I will keep looking, just trying to find out how that number is constructed as part of the URL...seems to be the $postrow[$i]['Number'] in the postlist.tmpl file. I'll trace that back through postlist.php to find out where it's set.

Well I fixed it....

The line in Postlist.php used to read :


I changed it to read :



Thanks for your help....

probably patched it not ficxed it.. probably hurt the

Figure out the last poster name on each thread

and

SHOW REPLIES function

Sorry, I meant I edited that line in postlist.tmpl. How would that patch affect those other functions?

it wouldn't unless ya changed it in the postlist.php
