And how is that wrong, exactly? The only thing I can see is the string isn't entity escaped, but that's not the cause of not referring the action in the URL.

naan

ok, i think the error in ie8 has nothing to do with the problem to delete older topics.

i normally use firefox.


the problem is to delete older topic in speziall boards.

that don't work in my smf 2.0 rc3 (two mods)
don't work in my test smf 2.0rc4 (no mods)
don't work in my upgraded test smf 2.0 rc5 (no mods)

Quoteok, i think the error in ie8 has nothing to do with the problem to delete older topics.

Correct, like I just said.

So it doesn't work on multiple sites, and am I correct in understanding it doesn't work in IE or FF, regardless of version?

naan

yes it is not possible to delete older topics.


This is what i do:

I go to my smf forum.
I login as admin
I go to the topmenü "admin"
I go to the menü "Forum Maintenance"
I go to the menü "Topics"
I want to Remove all topics not posted in for 360 days, which are:
-Any sort of topic.
In specific Boards
i choose two boards

Then i click
"remove now"

Then a popup say to me: you really want to do?
I say "ok"

Then i get the error:


An Error Has Occurred!
Unable to verify referring url. Please go back and try again.


i go back and try again.

Then i get the error:

Arantor

Yes, I realise all that.

I also know that for some reason, the HTTP_REFERER isn't including action=admin. Which makes me think there is some kind of security software, firewall, proxy server or something damaging/removing that header.

naan

hmm!??


i use here a speedport router from the german telekom

http://www.telekom.de/dlp/eki/downloads/Speedport/Speedport%20W%20701%20V/bedanl_Speed_W701V_Stand%2010_07.pdf

since more then 5 years.


at home i use a fritzbox 7170

naan

that is router and normally this have a firewall included.

http://www.avm.de/en/Produkte/FRITZBox/FRITZ_Box_Fon_WLAN/index.php


But i use this router a long time without problems.
i do nothing change on the installation in my network
naan.de // psaForum and other things.

Arantor

I didn't specifically say THAT firewall. But many software firewalls remove the HTTP_REFERER in the name of 'security', Norton packages especially.

naan

ok
firewall can be on router and in win7 i use

i try now from an old pc with suse 11.3 on it without firewall.
linux system with firefox as browser.

it don't work.

Arantor

And you're not using a proxy service? And your router doesn't change the headers it sends through?

OK, so open up Firebug, enable networking for your site, then browse, trying to carry out the operation you did before. This time, as you do the different steps, you should see the different requests being carried out in the pane at the bottom.

Most importantly, when you press the button, there should be a POST request to the page to carry out the operation - where it errors out on you. If you could do that step, then copy/paste the 'Headers' of that POST request here so I can see what's being requested of the server.

So what was the POST instruction? Was it POST /sevel/index.php?action=admin;area=maintain;sa=topics;activity=pruneold there too?

* Arantor is very confused, since the referer is there as it should be, the session has retained integrity (otherwise it would have failed sooner)

As a workaround, you can replace this in RemoveTopic.php

// So long as you are sure... all old posts will be gone.
function RemoveOldTopics2()
{
global $modSettings, $smcFunc;

isAllowedTo('admin_forum');
checkSession('post', 'admin');


with
// So long as you are sure... all old posts will be gone.
function RemoveOldTopics2()
{
global $modSettings, $smcFunc;

isAllowedTo('admin_forum');
checkSession('post');


But it does reduce your security if you do that.

naan

yes now ist works


http://www.naan.de/sevel/index.php?board=4.80

there are no topics older than 360 days


but i put the old file with
checkSession('post', 'admin');
on the server after i remove the old topics.
