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   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

[sAce]

odd, i have it  - http://docs.simplemachines.org/index.php?board=72.0;sort=subject

[perfects]

are you using 2.0?

[Arantor]

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:

Code Select Expand

<?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.

[perfects]

thanks I will try my best

[Arantor]

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.

[perfects]

thank you so much for the info, i'm brand new to all this.  And need to learn real fast to keep everything working right   I honestly appreciate all the help I get here, this is what will keep me a SMF user for ever   Even if I have to pay one day

[Arantor]

That's one of the good things about SMF - there's usually someone here who'll be able to help you, and it offers a lot of opportunity for developing skills

[sAce]

here you go i created the file for you, just upload to your forum root using cpanel or ftp

and then point your browser to http://yoursite.com/fix_pgrp.php
