The code in ExtendedProfiles.pl has some very iffy 'shortcuts' that have stopped working. For 2.6 it had to be completely refactored.



At 75 I'm not as sharp as I used to be. I'm thinking maybe I should break down and update my forum and I can't seem to locate it the right file in the SVN tab

You can also try
Code (Perl)
Select All
if ($extendedprofiles && eval( "$sourcedir/ExtendedProfiles.pl") ) {
  				require "$sourcedir/ExtendedProfiles.pl";  


instead.

In theory the above is less likely to crash ExtendProfiles.

Yes.  But I suspect there's a deeper issue in ExtendedProfiles.pl.

In ExtendedProfiles find:
Code (Perl)
Select All
			} elsif ($group =~ m~^Post{(\d+)}$~) { 



and make it
Code (Perl)
Select All
			} elsif ($group =~ m~^Post\{(\d+)}$~) {

I understand and thank you for your time.

Sadly, I'm still getting the same error
Untrapped Error :
./Sources/ExtendedProfiles.pl did not return a true value at ./Sources/Display.pl line 591.

Just to be clear this is what I need to add this in both places? Line 591 and line 719?

Code (Perl)
Select All
			if ($extendedprofiles && require "$sourcedir/ExtendedProfiles.pl" ) {
  				require "$sourcedir/ExtendedProfiles.pl";

In Display.pl find:
Code (Perl)
Select All
			if ($extendedprofiles) {
 				require "$sourcedir/ExtendedProfiles.pl"; 



edit to:
Code (Perl)
Select All
			if ($extendedprofiles && require "$sourcedir/ExtendedProfiles.pl" ) {
 				require "$sourcedir/ExtendedProfiles.pl"; 



What the error is saying is ExtendedProfiles.pl is not properly finishing BUT isn't throwing a 'real' fatal error.

You can try to add a diagnostic to ExtendedProfiles.pl by adding
Code (Perl)
Select All
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser); 

to just below the copyright block at the top of the file.

A Perl update making what was a security warning into a security error.

Thanks Dandello,
  Looks like I'm half way there.

I'm now getting this message

Untrapped Error :
./Sources/ExtendedProfiles.pl did not return a true value at ./Sources/Display.pl line 591.


===
I'm curious, these files have been in use since 2013, why did this error pop up now?

In ExrtendedProfiles.pl find:
Code (Perl)
Select All
			} elsif ($group =~ m~^NoPost{(\d+)}$~) { 



and replace with:
Code (Perl)
Select All
			} elsif ($group =~ m~^NoPost\{(\d+)}$~) { 



The highlighted symbol is the needed escape. So this should fix that issue.

The unescaped left brace is a hard one to actually SEE. I should have time later today to look at it.

A problem I'm having today is I'm getting this error message

Untrapped Error :
Unescaped left brace in regex is illegal here in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/^NoPost{ <-- HERE (\d+)}$/ at ./Sources/ExtendedProfiles.pl line 294. Compilation failed in require at ./Sources/Display.pl line 591.

Looking at the code it seems ok (see attachment)

Hello

I've having a similar  problem with my forum since May 3rd.  I'm still using 2.5.2, is there a fix for this version?

Thanks


What kind of problem? Describe it in more detail.


Thanks, this problem has been solved. The txt files in the Boards folder was corrupted. It was an easy fix once it was discovered. I just had to delete the first few lines. Thanks for asking.

Server Issues
Jun 12th, 2024 at 9:52pm
 
We had the server upgraded yesterday and as usual it went sideways since the 'new' upgrades actually conflicted with 'fixes' related to glitches caused by the LAST uograde.

Hopefully this is pretty well sorted now. However, those of you who have email notifications turned on may not be getting them due to 'upgraded' security.
