(cookie ?) error while logging out

[krisae]

Hi all,

I have a (small) issue but I was wondering about the reason.
When I log from my forums, since few days I have (always) the following error:

An error occurred while attempting to log you out. Click here to log out.

So, I use the provided link to force the log out and it's working.

But anyone have an idea why the first attempt fail and how I can solve it ?

Did you upgrade to 3.0.1 from an earlier version? Try reverting your navbar template.

[krisae]

Yes, I upgraded few days ago to 3.01, I will revert my navbar template then, thanks for help :-)

ive same problem,i have reverted navbar template but its still there

[Steve Machol]

In all honesty I don't see how you could get this error if you are using the default navbar template from 3.0.1. I suggest you try again.

Hi steve,

maybe i'm a bit unsure of what i'm doin

This is how im doing it and you could maybe advise if this is correct?

AdminCp> Styles and Templates>Style Manager (VB3 is ticked)>Select revert all templates from the drop down list:--

This is what comes up

Are you sure you want to revert all templates from the style called 'vBulletin 3'?

This will cause all templates to revert to their default or inherited status, although templates you have added yourself will not be affected.

The following templates will be reverted:

• editor_styles_button_hover
• FORUMHOME
• headinclude
• phpinclude_end
• header
• postbit_legacy
• modifyavatarbit
• editor_styles_menu_hover
• editor_styles_menu_down
• editor_styles_button_down
• editor_styles_popup_down
• footer
• calendar_smallmonth_day
• calendar_smallmonth_header
• calendar_smallmonth_week
• phpinclude_start
• WHOSONLINE
• STANDARD_ERROR

This action can not be undone.

I was choosing the navbar one before from the Nav/BreadCrumb option so I would presume the above way is the correct way to do it,

now... I have edited some of those one's so I can have my own custon banner etc on the header and footer so if I revent i would say these would be lost SO do i just need to add them in again once ive reverted them?


thanks

Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Edit Templates -> Navigation templates -> navbar -> revert

[hIBEES]

aye thats what i done the last time but error is still there, attached a screen shot of it to let you see

revert was highlighted the first time but not now so I cant revert?

did notice however that when i logged out of my forum from a different machine/isp then it was ok,have cleared cookies/files but still get it as per second attachment, not really a worry for me but be good to know what was up?

thanks for yer patience

Is it possible you were using the child style that isn't for normal users to use.

Basically &userid=$userid was missing from the page since it was possible for any user to logout another.

[Steve Machol]

You need to do this for all your styles.

[hIBEES]

I have 3 styles on the forum

VBulletin 3

yourdomain.com VBulletin 3 style

VBulletin 2 Default

Ive checked all the navbars in all 3 yet still get log out error

ive checked "Suspect Files" and there are none!
I've noticed on other forums with VB 3 that a log-out box comes up when clicking bottom log-out link--

where in actual fact do i check this (footer??) and wot should the html look like?

where also do i check "&userid=$userid"

I'm no too fussed as I said ealier but you get to the stage where your wantin to know what caused/is causing it

cheers

Try this. Reupload the original vbulletin-style.xml file from the zip file to your install directory. Make sure you upload this in ASCII and overwrite the one on the server. Then import this file in the 'Upload' section of the Style Manager. Then change to this style and view your forums with it. Do you have the same problem?

NO!!

but.... as i have deleted the file "install" as intructed when installing VB3 i could not overwrite it as it was not in the server,

I uploaded to server anyway,created a new style called "test style" imported "vbulletin-style.xml".. viewed forum as test style and logged out and it worked

do i just need to upload "vbulletin-style.xml" to the other styles

sorry i'm a bit confused

Then this confirms the problem is with your styles.

[hIBEES]

aye,it would appear so, how do I sort this?


i've imported the vbulletin-style.xml into the styles affected but still no joy!

how do I go about it?
