Can't enable add-on

johanounjohanoun
in Questions
I installed and am running the latest version of vanilla for some weeks. I get this message when trying tho enable a new add-on by checking the box. There was a problem authenticating your post information I can work around it by editing the conf/extensions.php file but there is more trouble: I also can´t change the forum settings. I am the administrator. The setteings don't stick. No error message this time. I have read about people having similar problems, and tried the suggestions made there, but with no result. I think all access rights to my files and folders are ok (777) and I don't believe there is a problem whith session coocies. Can someone help please.

    Check the javascript files, make sure they are coming across to the browser OK. If they are, then try re-downloading them from http://lussumo.com/svn/vanilla/trunk/src/js/

    Thnks for trying. I downloaded the scripts, but no change.. Also I think vanilla pages load very slowly, not just my installation but this forum as well!? CU Johan

    Everything is running smoothly here. My own Vanilla forum is also very speedy.

    Where is your forum installed? What kind of bandwidth are we talking?

    Hello slartie. Ok i'm on a mobile connection now with only 380 Kb/s that might be it. My forum server is at servage.net, I have several domains there and the other ones are loading faster. But ok thanks for your comment. Johan

    Has this error ever been solved? I am having the same problem. I cannot enable or disable extensions and I get the 'problem authenticating your post' error. I have been scanning Google and the forums like crazy trying to figure it out.

    Try checking your cookie domain setting.

    I was very disheartened to find this string ends with no real solution except changing servers as a possibile fix. Some extensions work, adding a WYSIWYG directory will not take manually or automatically with ANY account permission settings.

    This string basically comes to the same conclusions. Very frustrating http://lussumo.com/community/discussion/2571/extensions-not-sticking/

    I commented out this check in switchextensions.php and switch.php // if ($PostBackKey != '' && $PostBackKey == $Context->Session->GetVariable('SessionPostBackKey', 'string')) { $ExtensionForm = $Context->ObjectFactory->CreateControl($Context, 'ExtensionForm'); if ($ExtensionForm->SwitchExtension($ExtensionKey)) { echo $ExtensionKey; } else { $Context->WarningCollector->WritePlain(); } /* } else { echo $Context->GetDefinition('ErrPostBackKeyInvalid'); } */ It works but without protection from outside hacks

    Wouldn't it be better to fix the session issues on your server?

    What combination of permissions are required to fix the sessions? i cant seem to find the correct combinations of permission settings

    Nothing to do with permissions generally. What do you have your cookie path and domain set to?

    cookie path is set simply to mydomain.com is there a more applicable path?

    Correction: cookie domain is www.mydomain.com cookie path was: /forumfolder/ i reset it to the entire URL: www.mydomain.com/forumfolder/

    I can tell you once the extension is checked to load a WYSIWYG or HTML buttons, i get a javascript error on the IE browser.

    Please strike above. this extension seems to work versus the one i was attempting CommentAuthorliquidguy CommentTimeJun 14th 2007 *phew*, that took a bit longer than I thought. Ok, let's call this unofficial version 0.2, shall we? BBInsertBar v0.2 New Thangs: Completely re-written Javascript functions Works in both BBEdit/HTML mode Confirmed working in: Firefox 2.x Camino 1.5 Safari 2.x Internet Explorer 6 Internet Explorer 7 Now prompt-free! Replaced the annoying prompt popups with a much easier-on-the-eyes overlay Image button now shows you a live preview of your image before you post. Things yet to do: I'd like to clean up the HTML further, but I didn't have enough time... The color bar formats weirdly in both IE's. It's still usable, but doesn't look as nice as FF/Safari. I didn't test this with smilies on. Can someone double-check? YouTube option still a no go. I'll take a closer look if there's enough need for it.

    BBC insert bar does show up but still doesnt work. The problem as best i can tell is a java script error in IE. Each attempt at loading a discussion with any HTML editor checked in extensions shows a fault in the browser to this effect Error: "dojo" is undefined

    Try disabling the dojo extension.
