Deleting categories does not work

[dtdesign]

Hi,

I set up the new SMF 1.1 RC1 (using SMF 1.1 Beta 3 before) and I was creating categories, just to test it.

But as I tried to delete a category, it says I have an error in my sql syntax.

Error Message:

Code Select Expand

You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ')' at line 3

Part of the Subs-Boards.php

Code Select Expand

<?php
// Delete ALL topics in the selected boards. (done first so topics can't be marooned.)
$request = db_query("
SELECT ID_TOPIC
FROM {$db_prefix}topics
WHERE ID_BOARD IN (" . implode(', ', $boards_to_remove) . ')', __FILE__, __LINE__);
$topics = array();
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($request))
$topics[] = $row['ID_TOPIC'];
mysql_free_result($request);

?>

PS: The different domain names say nothing, I have a root Server and more than 1 Domain so I created a few VHosts

Works fine for me... Don't know what to tell you. It doesn't seem to like the . ')' at the end. You can try changing those to double quotes, but I don't know if that will make any difference.

Trying to fix the error returns "Hacking attempt ..." all the time

Ok, could it be an issue with my SQL Server? I have running MySQL v3.23.49

Are you trying to delete a category that has no posts in it, or posts in it?

Empty category. No posts, no topics, no subforums.

Edit: Thanks for your idea, creating an empty forum fixes the problem. The category is now deleted

Hello folks,

I have the same error on a fresh board with an empty category. i can't delete it.

You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ')' at line 3
Datei: /homepages/xx/dxxxxxx/htdocs/forum/Sources/Subs-Boards.php

Any help would be appreciated.

Ohh,

I solved it:

You want to delete an empty category?

1. Just insert a board to this category.
2. Now delete the category, answer the question with yes!

Done!

Hi

here is the Code-Solution:

edit Sources/Subs-Boards.php

Find this 4 lines ~1154:

Code Select Expand

// Remove one or more boards.
function deleteBoards($boards_to_remove, $moveChildrenTo = null)
{
global $db_prefix, $sourcedir, $boards;


add after:

Code Select Expand

if (empty($boards_to_remove))
return true;

Thanks for the fix "Tora".

No doubt this has been fixed in RC2.
