Child board posts not being counted

Even though I have checked for the child boards to count in the parent board totals, they are not being counted.  Any ideas???

You missed what I was saying.  I already went in there and cehcked for the child boards to be counted and they are not being counted.

Norv

Can you please tell an example of how is the structure of your forum boards? (that is, you have child boards of the main boards, and that is all, or do you by any chance also have some child boards in the child boards?)

No sir, I only have the first child boards, not the second level child boards. 

Example:

Chevy Trucks Section> 6.6 Duramax Trucks

The posts from 6.6 Duramax Board are not being counted.  Is this something that can be a result of something a little off in the directory?  Similar to the issue I had with the Verification image?

Norv

Rather, please check your forum error log, and post here the errors you may find, if any.

Are you using mods that have something to do with child boards? Perhaps it would be good if you can display the list of your current mods.

The current mods installed list is below,  however, that is another issue I am having, some of them are not applying themselves properly either.  Examples:  Flashchat not working, Aeva not auto embedding, and SMF Staff page not showing a Staff page just to name a few.  Maybe the two issues are linked???

Norv

From the errors list, it seems that some SMF files on your server are not writable. For example: the files in ./Themes/default/languages, or rather, the Themes directory completely, should be writable, in order to install successfully mods that modify themes (which is to say, most mods).

Please make sure you chmod the folder ./Themes to 755, or 775, or 777.

Did you receive errors during mods installation? Like, "test failed" or other errrors.

No, see that is the wierd thing, that directory is chmodded to 777 right now.  I actually went through yesterday and had to change that trying to work on the Flashchat installation to try to get it to work.  I also had to create a Temp folder in there to get the installation to work because the admin panel kept  giving me the error that the files were not writable.  So I went through and changed all of them and then "Successfully" installed the flashchat, but of course, it still did not work.  It is confusing the crap out of me, because the fixes that have worked for others in similar posts in the forum here, are not working for me for some reason.  I am almost certain that this is something simple that I am missing, I just can;t find it.

Norv

Note that sometimes hosts don't accept 777, so the server might ignore the setting.
Can you please tell what permissions actually has the directory ./Themes now?

Very few of the mods in that list appear to actually be installed at this time. For the ones that have [Apply Mod] listed you can delete those and trim the browse list. This will leave only those that are actually installed.

How many of these mods have you installed manually? The number of mods you have installed manually will usually coincide with those that do not list an option to uninstall.

Have you always received a "Some files are not writable" error when trying to install mods or has that only recently occurred?
PM at your own risk, some I answer, if they are interesting, some I ignore.

BigDaddyDiesel

It happens almost every time I try to install a new mod for the most part.  for example:  even though I went through yesterday and changed the permissions etc to install the flashchat, if I tried to uninstall now and re install then I would get the error warning about them not being writable.  It is almost as if someone is going through behind me and reversing my changes.

BigDaddyDiesel

Also, the server admin told me to use 777 for files to be completely writable for stuff like this, so that is what I am trying to use with any that need changed.

Tyrsson

After you change perms and install a mod and then try to install another mod do you have to again change the permissions? If so then it may be a matter of the hosting management software that your host uses resetting some of the permissions. I have dealt with this once before when the host was using LXadmin (if memory serves). It could come down to server config.

When you set the permissions did you use ftp or the file manager in your hosting CPanel?

ETA: You already answered my questions it appears.
PM at your own risk, some I answer, if they are interesting, some I ignore.

Norv

Eventually, please check and tell the permissions the folders and files have now. Look at the folder Themes, then to its subfolders, specially ./Themes/default, then to ./Themes/default/languages and the files in it.

Please ask your host who has ownership of the files in the forum directory.
PM at your own risk, some I answer, if they are interesting, some I ignore.

BigDaddyDiesel

Ok, I will work on all of that today, and I will also try to use Filezilla to change the permissions.  My host is offlline right now, so I will get back to you in a little bit after I have had a chance to work with all of your suggestions.

Thanks for all of the help!!!

Tyrsson

Your welcome and please post back and let us know what you find out.

You can sorta test this also by doing the following.

Try changing the permissions via filezilla and then try to install the mod. If you still get a perm error then go into the file manager and change the permissions via the file manager in Cpanel. Try the install. If it then works then its most likely an ownership problem. This does not always work but it a place to start to try to track down the problem.
