I am trying to de-bug my problem.

When I de-sticky a post, the sticky.txt is not ammended (the thread number remains).

If I remove the thread number manually, all seems to work fine.

I have looked at the coding of the mod to find where my error occurs, and I pinpoint it to here:

sub Sticky_Add_Del {
     my ($stickyaction, $stickyboard, $stickyid) = @_;
     if ($INFO{'action'} eq rebuildmesindex && !$stkyct){
           fopen (FILE, ">$vardir/stickies.txt");
           print FILE qq~\n1;~;
           fclose(FILE);      
     }      
     require "$vardir/stickies.txt";
     return if $stickies{$stickyboard} =~ /\b$stickyid\b/;
     @stickies = split (/\|/ , $stickies{$stickyboard});

     if ($stickyaction eq 'add') {
           if ($stkyct) {push (@stickies, $stickyid);}
           else {unshift (@stickies, $stickyid);}
     }
     if ($stickyaction eq 'del' && $stickies{$stickyboard}) {
           for ($stk = 0; $stk < @stickies; $stk++) {
                       if ($stickies[$stk] eq $stickyid) {
                             splice( @stickies, $stk, 1);
                             last;
                   }
               }
     }

It appears that the line in yellow above aborts the sub routine early everytime I try to de-sticky a thread.

What does this line do??  I am not sure what the /\b does - something to do with char boundries??  Im not familiar with this.  It happens with every thread I try to de-sticky.  The YaBB part of the code removes the correct |s from the threadline, but the stickies.txt file isn't ammended.

Any clues guys??  I know Astro is always busy, so hoping someone else may be familiar with this code!?!

No, the one attached to this thread

Didn't realise there was a newer one??

Was this an error previously??



It would be a pain to un-install, as the boardmod prgram had to be re-installed recently, and I can't use it to uninstall easily.

What differences are there?  If I could just manually alter which ever files are different that would be cool.

         

This is the problem I have been trying to fix - non stickied stickies!

Great - thanks guys - The support is always great here!

Thanks - I compared your version update to the one I installed, and made the necessary changes.

All works fine now!

Great - Thanks!

Hi everbody,

now it seems I'm having a problem with this mod, too. I just installed a brand-new YaBB 2.1 including the this mod in its 2.4 version.

The forum seems to work all right. Boardindex works and reading a thread also, but when I open the Messageindex I get an untrapped error:

And in fact, there is no "stickies.txt" in the Variables folder ... and there was none in the mod's zip either.

Will the file only be created after I define my first sticky? Does the mod not catch the error case of "no stickies.txt"?

Looking forward to any suggesttion and help here...

Best,

Andreas

Hi JetLi,

thanks ... it worked, however, of course, the "empty" file needed to contain

Before, it resulted in an error ...

Thanks JetLi.
