dragonking · July 27, 2009, 04:32:33 AM

Hi all! Can anyone help me please? I cant find how to change the contact us part of site where you click on contact us and the email form comes up? Ineed to change it a.s.a.p as i have just taken over the site and e-mails are still being sent to last owner! Have found this piece of code in links php, but just dont know if its the right piece im looking for or what to change? thanks very much for reading, Andy.

That link seems to be a link to the SMF built in emailform, and is set to use the User ID 1.
So the default Admin account user ID. It should work, if you simply replace the uid=1 part with uid=X where X is the user ID of current Admin account.

EDIT: Although, I don't think that functionality is as such in 1.1 so are you sure you posted in the right section?

Hi. I've tried doing that, i.e changing user id 1 to what it needs to be, but on the site it doesnt change anything??? thanks.

Since you are most probably running 2.0 try emptying the forum's file cache.
( In the maintanance section of AdminCP )

And I'll move this over to 2.x support.

dragonking · July 27, 2009, 08:16:07 AM

Thanks, ive tried that now my site has gone down?

Aleksi "Lex" Kilpinen · July 27, 2009, 08:17:01 AM

If emptying the cache made your site to not function - then you have made a mistake in the edits somewhere. Did you keep backups of the files you edited?

dragonking · July 27, 2009, 08:20:46 AM

well no to be honest, i am a newbie to all this as only took over the site recently. all i have done is empty the file cache through admin panel?

? thanks.

Aleksi "Lex" Kilpinen · July 27, 2009, 08:23:12 AM

What I meant was, that you probably made some sort of error while editing the code
in your first post. Your site's error message would also suggest the same - as that usually is caused by errors in the code.

dragonking · July 27, 2009, 08:24:54 AM

oh ok i understand, thanks.

Aleksi "Lex" Kilpinen · July 27, 2009, 08:26:15 AM

How did you edit the file? What did you use to edit and save the file?

dragonking · July 27, 2009, 08:44:22 AM

i edited the file from earlier with file editor on control panel, legacy file manager. i just changed the user id from a 1 to a 4. it didnt work so i changed it bk to a 1 and all was fine till i emptied the file cache like i say?

Aleksi "Lex" Kilpinen · July 27, 2009, 08:46:02 AM

Only changing that should not give that error, so something else must have changed in it.
Could you FTP a copy of the file you edited, and attach it to your next post?

dragonking · July 27, 2009, 08:51:33 AM

Ok heres the file i changed earlier, right at the bottom is the user id 1, which i changed to 4 then changed bk to 1, thanks.

What file did you edit exactly?

That doesn't look like any of SMF's PHP files to me, it looks like your browser generated page source.

this is the part where i changed 1 to 4, then bk again, i have subbmitted a support ticket to my hosts, but they are somewhat baffled as well? this is the message im getting when viewing my site

There was a problem loading the /cache/lang_index+Modifications_english_default.php template or language file. Please check the syntax and try again - remember, single quotes (') often have to be escaped with a slash (\). To see more specific error information from PHP, try accessing the file directly.

You may want to try to refresh this page or use the default theme.

syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE

Aleksi "Lex" Kilpinen · July 27, 2009, 09:01:29 AM

Yes, I understand that is the part of code you edited - but in what file exactly?
What was the name of the file you altered?

dragonking · July 27, 2009, 09:03:08 AM

oh sorry, it was links.php

greyknight17 · August 01, 2009, 04:51:57 PM

I don't recognize that file as being part of SMF. It might be a custom file that the last webmaster created.

Can you post the link to the page where the email address is showing this error? I tried visiting that link to your forum and can't seem to find it.
