hello andy,
as I did not find the download link for 1.4 I tried copying 1.3 over 1.2 and started testing her: http:/zice.ro/forum/
a) I do not understand why, when starting a new topic, I can input a title and a text, I thought writing a topic would also include a first post. But this text I can input when starting a topic, will never be displayed anywhere?
so basically someone who is used to other forum software, will find it strange, that the text they just inputed disappears.
b) I answered my own topic, there is actually just one topic and 2 posts, but the forum seems not to display anyone of them…
could you have a look, maye post as guest or register? it might just me at fault.

Now that’s a real worry and the first problem I’ve heard of this kind. I’m also a little stumped. I don’t like the way the start and end dates are also missing from the topic list - yet the system knows there are two posts. Weird.
First question has to be - since upgrading, have you been into your manage options admin panel and perfomed an update there. I don’t believe this should have a bearing but it is worth a try - there were some new options introduced although they all have default values. After that it might be worth re-uploading to make sure nothing got lost or twisted. Again, I don’t believe this is the problem as if things were lost you would be getting error messages - but, if error reporting is turned off by your host then it might be the reason.
Definately want to try and sort this one out though…

ok,
at first here are the 2 modifications I made - changed 8px to 10px so I can actually read some of the smaller stuff and changed this line: define(’SFUSERS’, ‘users’); as thats were my users are kept. all users of my wpmu install, so if a user is registered on any blog, he can post in any other forum…
regarding the admin backend: I do not see any differences but it says: Simple Forum (Version 1.3) - Manage forums / options what should be there in 1.3 that would be missing in 1.2 ?
what do you suggest, should I deinstall it using that option, then delete the folder, reupload and reinstall (activate)?

define(’SFUSERS’, ‘users’)
Does your users table not have a prefix? This would explain the problem as the forum posts table performs a join on the users table. And if your error reporting turned off you wont be getting the database error statement.
I thought ALL installations, single user or MU, required a prefix?

sorry for not mentioning those changes in my first post :-[
the reason why I modified that user table, was that when I first tried to somehow output a list of newest forumposts, I got an error in the mysql statement, that contained this: wp_1_users - the difference I think, is that wpmu outputs wp_{blog_id} when asked for the prefix, so that each blog gets its own tables, BUT there is only one users table, thats why I changed it thinking that now that all users from all blogs in the whole wpmu install can post in anyones forums….

OK - but is just ‘users the actual name of the table? Plus, does each user, regardless of blog, get a unique id or does an id get re-used for each blog in the system? For example, if the individual blogs have a prefix of wp_1_, wp_2_ etc., it seems reasonable to suppose that the users table will be called wp_users. Are you able to look into the database to find out for sure?

The default prefix for MU is wp_ and changing to wp_users (the only modification i’ve ever done on any of these updates) has worked perfectly throughout.
I haven’t seen the same issues, using the same system as Ovizii.
Maybe your user table is corrupt ?

hello dizzy nice to see you join into the discussion here too (we know each other from the wpmu forums) but my users table is perfectly ok as far as I know.
@ andy
I’ll post the tablestructure for wp_users her
-- Table structure for table `wp_users`
--
CREATE TABLE `wp_users` (
`ID` bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
`user_login` varchar(60) NOT NULL default ",
`user_pass` varchar(64) NOT NULL default ",
`user_nicename` varchar(50) NOT NULL default ",
`user_email` varchar(100) NOT NULL default ",
`user_url` varchar(100) NOT NULL default ",
`user_registered` datetime NOT NULL default '0000-00-00 00:00:00',
`user_activation_key` varchar(60) NOT NULL default ",
`user_status` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
`display_name` varchar(250) NOT NULL default ",
`spam` tinyint(2) NOT NULL default '0',
`deleted` tinyint(2) NOT NULL default '0',
PRIMARY KEY (`ID`),
KEY `user_login_key` (`user_login`)
) TYPE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=40 ;

Don’t really need the structure. The point is that you said you had changed the define to
define(’SFUSERS’, ‘users’)
and if your table is actually called wp_users then the define should actualy be
define(’SFUSERS’, ‘wp_users’)
otherwise as far as the plugin is concerned, the table does not exist.
Or am I missing something?

I am so embarassed, I just noticed I had written users in my post mentioning the changes, then I went and checked the file and found out that indeed I had changed it to users instead of wp_users mea culpa, this typo must have happened when overwriting 1.2 with 1.3 and then making this typo…..
this changed everything now to a fully working status - may I offer you to test the newest versions with wpmu if you want some testing? I guess dizzy is also open for testing.

I might well take you up on that. Thanks. And glad we sorted it out as well.

I’d happily help beta test the code on wmpu as it really is turning out to be an excellent forum for that purpose.
Alll you need do is ask and we’ll give you some feedback
And i wish to state again its really refreshing finding a developer who eagerly listens to people using his code, implements additions and indeed trys hard to support questions. Its a credit to you.
Thankyou very much.

Hey - you beat Dizzy to an avatar!
You are more than welcome.
So - what version does MY need? I assume it’s the WP 2.0 strain yes? (Which I can no longer test myself).

MU is based on 2.1 and as i’ve said before your plugin works very well with one minor modification, allowing for global user tables.
And i am dizzy I worked out your server isn’t allowing uploads of JPG files
Changed the avatar to png and up it went.
