Hi you guys, you helped me out with this post
SMF 2.x Support / Re: How to create a Semi-Newbie
« on: March 10, 2010, 05:26:52 PM »

And everything worked until I decided to open the board up for one day, all I did was I changed the post count needed t 0 so everyone could visit the board for a day, I then changed the post count back to what it was, but I see people with 0 posts still access it,  what do I do to fix this, I work hard on providing them the info and they could at least post something somewhere :'(

perfects

i forgot to hit the notify me button :o  I honestly need help with this issue ???

sAce

I dont quite get you, please explain exactly what are you trying to do ?

perfects

1.  I have a board which you could access after making 10 posts.
2.  I decided to give people a behind the scenes look, and changed the 10 to a 0 for a day
3.  I changed the 0 back to 10
4. but the people with 0 posts as still accessing the board which is post count based

I need to stop the people who have 0 posts to access this board.

sAce

Did you give permission to regular group to access this board as well ?

perfects

No There is no check mark at the regular group

sAce

strange , can you access the board as a guest ?

perfects

here is what I see and did

sAce

this is very  odd,

go to maintainace > reports > board permissions

perfects

I have never run a maintenance on the forum, maybe that would take care of it, I don't want to complain before I have tried what ever I could to fix it.  d you think running maintenance will fix it?

sAce

you can try, but i didnt mean run maintainance, i wanted you to generate a board permission report

perfects

oh, sorry I misunderstood.
Just clicked on maintenance and these are my options:
forum maintenance
scheduled tasks,
mail
logs

nothing about reports under there

Unfortunately now every single user's post count group is messed up.

To fix it, create a file called fix_post_groups.php in the same folder as SSI.php, containing the following:
<?php
require('SSI.php');
updateStats('postgroups');
?>


Then browse to this file. It should fix your postgroups properly.

I've never created a file.  Is it possible to give me exact step-by-step info, I don't want to mess anything up for my members I have
thanks for the help

Arantor

Using cPanel, if so what version?

Failing that, use Notepad, put the file name is as I said - but make sure " is around it (otherwise Notepad will add .txt to the filename) then use FTP to upload it.

thanks I will try my best ;)

How do I use FTP? / What is FTP? might be useful.

If you're still having trouble, I'll post the file as an attachment shortly.
