whichbar - undefined variable

[iowamf]

I'm getting this now too - and I can duplicate it.

Create a brand new user and assign them into a primary membergroup - then login - problem shows up.

If a user registers by mail - problem doesn't show up.  However, if I assign that user into a membergroup - problem shows up.

Unfortunately, the problem is that their left blocks go away.

No mods, SMF1.1.1 TP0.7.1

What is weird - is that I had about 10 users in various membergroups (and still have those users) where there is no problem (everything works for those users).

Well, I don't see this in the bug tracker so I think I'll add it. Bloc can decide what to do from there.

To solve the error, find that line where "$whichbar" is called in TPortal.php and set

Code Select Expand

$whichbar=''; on a line above it.

I stuck that above the if/elseif statement as shown below and the error is not showing up in the log.
However, the symptom of the leftbar disappearing is still present.

Code Select Expand

if($allow){
// save which pan
$whichbar='';
if($row['bar']=='1')
$whichbar='hide_leftbar_forum';
elseif($row['bar']=='1')
$whichbar='hide_rightbar_forum';
elseif($row['bar']=='1')
$whichbar='hide_centerbar_forum';

// check that we are in frontpage rather

Yes...if you look at the code there, thats the other bug as well lol. it should be:

Code Select Expand

if($allow){
// save which pan
$whichbar='';
if($row['bar']=='1')
$whichbar='hide_leftbar_forum';
elseif($row['bar']=='2')
$whichbar='hide_rightbar_forum';
elseif($row['bar']=='3')
$whichbar='hide_centerbar_forum';

// check that we are in frontpage rather

Thanks - that appears to have worked - the left bars are back and no whichbar in the error log.

Easy as 1,2,3

I just wanted to say that I got this error today,and the reason was, that I uninstalled TP, before upgrading smf.  But before I did that, I had moved all my left side blocks to the right.  Then when I reinstalled TP, it reinstalled with my same settings ie blocks on the right, none on the left, and this error popped up over and over. 

I moved them all back to the left and it disappeared. 

I just thought I'd mention it in case someone else does the same thing as I did

Thank you, I was wondering what to do with this and was avoiding it, hoping it wouldnt cause any complications.... after I saw that I had almost 5000 pages of forum errors with this, I felt it was time for action.

It has been fixed.

Thanks tons!
