Forum bugs since 3.2 upgrade

Hello

 

I've 2 curious bug in forum since 3.2 upgrade.

 

1) Utf8 characters are broken in topics but not in topic list.

2) When i reload topic page, i've a 404 error.

 

If anybody have an idea how to fix it ?

I've just upgraded myself and can not replicate this issue. Did you complete the manual steps at the end of the auto upgrade script and recompile the forum language?  The 404 error reload sounds like something server side.

Yes, i do every step without error.

I've made many upgrade brefore.

 

The utf8 problem is not in diplayed forum texts, but only in post content.

 

The 404 errors are in htaccess rules :

This default rule is used :

RewriteRule ^forum/(.*)$  modules/boonex/forum/$1 [QSA,L]

 

with this url :

/forum/forum/General-discussions-0.htm

Or this one :

/forum/topic/Nouveau-membre.htm

 

But there is no files forum ou topic in modules/boonex/forum/

May be the rules for forum and topic are missing.

There are rewrite rules for forum in .htaccess file in Dolphin root folder and in modules/boonex/forum/.htaccess file. Maybe some of them are missing or rules for forum aren't there.

I've juste :

RewriteRule ^forum/groups/(.*)$  modules/boonex/forum/$1?orca_integration=groups [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^forum/events/(.*)$  modules/boonex/forum/$1?orca_integration=events [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^forum/store/(.*)$  modules/boonex/forum/$1?orca_integration=store [QSA,L]

RewriteRule ^forum/$  modules/boonex/forum/index.php [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^forum/(.*)$  modules/boonex/forum/$1 [QSA,L]

 

Nothing match :

/forum/forum/General-discussions-0.htm

or

/forum/topic/Nouveau-membre.htm

 

Can you give the missing rules ?

 

No idea for utf8 problem ?

First of all, there is no bug - otherwise we would have seen lots of people reporting this bug including myself.  I upgraded recently to 3.2 w/o any issues at all..

However, I ran into similar issues (but not same error you have) in the past and the cause of my issues were some of the upgrade files were not transferred to my server properly when I used Filezilla under my cPanel Acct.  In fact, Boonex team puts lots of emphasis on this to make sure the old files get overwritten properly during the transfer.. That's the only thing I can think of why you are having this issue.. Otherwise, you will be looking for a needle in a haystack to figure out the current issue you are ran into.

I will share this solution with you which has been working successfully for me - is to SFTP my files as {root} or use the 2nd option below. Please keep in mind I have a dedicated server, therefore I have a full access to my box..

>> If you choose the same route, please follow these steps:

1>  Unzip the files locally & SFTP as root & transfer the patch files to your site folder

2>  ssh to your server (you can use Putty) and change permissions accordingly:

   2a> since you transferred files as root, the owners of the files you transferred will be root as well

   2b> change permissions of your site files back to their original owner/user by running the command below:

        2c> lets say your site username is called {peace}, so run this command based on 

                your site location: i.e:   chown -R peace:peace /home/peace/public_html/*

                

>> If you don't have a dedicated server and you still have a shell access, follow these steps:

>  SFTP the zip patch file as is (don't extract it yet) to your server

>  SSH to your server

>  unzip the patch file in a temp folder - For instance:  /tmp/patch-D32

>  I would use {rsync} command - other copy commands work too..

>  rsync -avzh /tmp/patch-D32 /home/peace/public_html/

>  I would set the ownership again just in case, it would not hurt:   chown -R peace:peace /home/peace/public_html/* 

 

And then proceed with your upgrade..  Good luck !
