Nuke 6.9 - cpg 1.1d - nuke_users table mod hangs site in IE

[tracey]

Okay, I have/had this freaky problem, and I have narrowed it down to the xtra fields coppermine needs in the <prefix>_users table.

I had nuke 6.5 -- all was well, I upgraded to 6.9 and noticed in IE that the site would hang loading images (regardless of what was really on the main page) -- the security image wouldn't display, and lots of other images.

I got sick of trying to figure it out, so I killed everything, and as I'm adding stuff back I found the addition of the coppermine fields suddenly makes it hang, remove fields, and it's happy.

Code Select Expand

ALTER TABLE `nuke_users` ADD `user_group_cp` INT( 11 ) DEFAULT '2' NOT NULL ,
ADD `user_active_cp` ENUM( 'YES', 'NO' ) DEFAULT 'YES' NOT NULL ;
ALTER TABLE `nuke_users` ADD `user_lastvisit_cp` DATETIME NOT NULL ,
ADD `user_regdate_cp` DATETIME NOT NULL ;
UPDATE nuke_users SET user_group_cp='3' WHERE user_id='1';
UPDATE nuke_users SET user_group_cp='1' WHERE user_id='2';

of course, with the columns not there, coppermine won't work ...

so, does anyone have a fix for this?? any one else see this problem?? helllpppp  :?

oh yeah .. AND ... netscape and safari do NOT have this problem ... ONLY IE ... (latest version .. not just me)

I checked if there was a table change from 6.8 to 6.9 but nothing changed.
So it's not the database, something else is blocking the way.

Shall install 6.9 on my system and check if it lock here also.

i agree ... i much rather use netscape ... but it's my goofy non-computer friends that complain ... i'm wondering if somehow, it's related to the # of images i have ... i've now dropped all cpg_ tables, recreated, dropped coppermine module, reuploaded ... and so far it's behaving (hafta fix silly basedir restriction error ... who needs bed anyway?)

let me know what happens w/your test.

thnx!

Ok just installed a new phpNuke 6.9 in 10 seconds.
I noticed whn i tried run nuke.sql on database it crashed on nuke_bbconfig table.

So i just ran the 6.8 nuke.sql and altered the version number (yep that's the only change )

Then i installed coppermine v1.1D for Nuke.
Ran the coppermine sql

And guess what NO PROBLEMS

Maybe your members have problems with images returned thru PHP (like the graphic security code from Nuke)
Open your nuke config.php and set $gfx_chk to 0

Sorry can't help further cos i can't install IE on my system.

Just place your URL in here and maybe others can help.

I have almost the same problem... Before the album would load fine, but when I clicked Conifg, it would load some of the page and than just open the "Page cannot be displayed" ie error... It was a pain but I managed to change settings using phpmyadmin... but recently after updating some IE components, the problem got worse... When I click on the coppermine module, it loads the page, butthan IE crashes and I get the message saying "IE encountered a problem and needs to be closed".... any guesses?

Using:
Coppermine 1.1D on PHP-Nuke 6.9

Did you get phpnuke 6.9 from phpnuke.org?

[h17m4n]

no phpnuke.com

[kegobeer]

I downloaded from phpnuke.org (phpnuke.com redirects there) last week and aside from having to edit the nuke.sql file (replace --- with ###) I haven't had any problems.

Have you tried duplicating your problem on another machine?  If you have the same problems, you might ask your host if they've made any changes to mySQL or PHP lately.

Ok i moved to someone at his home who uses a standard computer with Windows XP and IE 6 and guess what... it crashed :lol:
Then i moved to someone else who uses Windows ME with IE 5.5 and guess what... it crashed :lol:

And was it Coppermine related??? NO
Somehow it crashed on almost every page i tried to access, but not the first or second page, it was random.
Also i get a warning message when using the browsers back button:
"This page could have a securityrisk. Are you shure you want to continue ?"
I wonder why that happens, because i already viewed the page :?

So i checked sourcode of pages where IE crashed to get a better view.
Somehow IE loosses control in <table>, <div> and <span> codes, especially when they are not properly written. CHECK YOUR THEME!
Also recieving images from PHP it crashed.
The unfriendly IE and Outlook by blocking Java, Javascript and .EXE attachments is a part to discuss about but not in here.
If micro$oft just build a browser that works, then they don't have to turn of options for security reasons, or am i wrong ?

My solution:
Get Mozilla, Firebird, Netscape, Opera or any other browser and mailprogram that work without crashes.
I will even build a IE free Windows 98, ME or 2000 CD for ya to give to others for free (without Regcode)

HACK the planet and get rid of IE !

yeah somehow IE is making it crash.... I dont know why it crashes on my computer.... I have all windows xp components updated.... but on my other pc I just have a raw installation of windows xp sp1, and coppermine wont crash there... so it has to be one of the recent IE updates that is causing this

[kegobeer]

I have XP SP1 with all the updates and have no troubles with 6.9 and CPG.  Try applying all the updates to your other pc and see what happens.  If everything works you know you have issues with your current pc.

[h17m4n]

its not only me... My friend tried it on his computer, his friends computer, and his gf's computer... everytime it crashed

[DJMaze]

Which language is your Windows XP ?

I tried a English and Dutch XP with and without SP1 and they didn't crash woohoo

Maybe some computer specs will help:
- Vendor
- XP version + language

Or try one of these 71000 pages:

Does cpg require the "linked-tables" feature to be enabled?
