[Ray]

When I try to use the mark as read on this site i get a
An Error Has Occurred!
Session verification failed. Please try logging out and back in again, and then try again.

I haven't updated the themes yet..only default theme is working. :/

I get that on RC1 in my themes but not in a 'virgin' default theme, the theme needs updating.

When I use 'Mark As Read' on TP .75 with Techhead TP, it brings me to the Home page instead of back to the Forum page that I came from.

How can I fix this?

does the board(s) get marked as read?

It happens all the time on my sites if you hit Mark Read on /index.php?action=forum It takes me back to index.php with all posts marked read. But in the boards themselves, it works as it should.

Yup, this is exactly what happens to me.

It does.

hm, maybe its missing a session variable in the link?

More than likely the redirect function is set so that if you are in the forums when you hit the mark as read button, it takes you directly back to the BoardIndex, only it thinks that the BoardIndex is index.php, not index.php?action=forum.

Found it!! 

In Sub-Boards.php (in Sources, around lines 207-229) find the following:

Code Select Expand


if (isset($_REQUEST['sa']) && $_REQUEST['sa'] == 'all')
{
// Find all the boards this user can see.
$result = db_query("
SELECT b.ID_BOARD
FROM {$db_prefix}boards AS b
WHERE $user_info[query_see_board]", __FILE__, __LINE__);
$boards = array();
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
$boards[] = $row['ID_BOARD'];
mysql_free_result($result);

if (!empty($boards))
markBoardsRead($boards, isset($_REQUEST['unread']));

$_SESSION['ID_MSG_LAST_VISIT'] = $modSettings['maxMsgID'];
if (!empty($_SESSION['old_url']) && strpos($_SESSION['old_url'], 'action=unread') !== false)
redirectexit('action=unread');

if (isset($_SESSION['topicseen_cache']))
$_SESSION['topicseen_cache'] = array();

redirectexit();



Change it to the following (note: this change ONLY affects the last line of code - the rest was given to make it easier to find):

Code Select Expand

if (isset($_REQUEST['sa']) && $_REQUEST['sa'] == 'all')
{
// Find all the boards this user can see.
$result = db_query("
SELECT b.ID_BOARD
FROM {$db_prefix}boards AS b
WHERE $user_info[query_see_board]", __FILE__, __LINE__);
$boards = array();
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
$boards[] = $row['ID_BOARD'];
mysql_free_result($result);

if (!empty($boards))
markBoardsRead($boards, isset($_REQUEST['unread']));

$_SESSION['ID_MSG_LAST_VISIT'] = $modSettings['maxMsgID'];
if (!empty($_SESSION['old_url']) && strpos($_SESSION['old_url'], 'action=unread') !== false)
redirectexit('action=unread');

if (isset($_SESSION['topicseen_cache']))
$_SESSION['topicseen_cache'] = array();

redirectexit('action=forum');


I tried this locally and it worked for redirecting me back to BoardIndex without a hassle.
