Hi,
If you go to system admin area you can clear out the cache and that should fix your problem.

Go from main menu, admin drop down, system admin.
OR yoursite/tiki/tiki-admin_system.php
Here you should see a place to empty the cache.

/modules/cache/ Empty

If you can not log in you can clear them out with ftp

precompiled templates installed

Clear the cache via ftp stop the error and I had a blank screen. To make the story short, I installed 1.8.2 to realize that I cannot edit html in the wiki pages and that chat & games wrer giving errors. 😢

On Admin->Wiki there is a new option for HTML editing as its basically a securing risk allowing that for everyone. relates to CSRF and XSS issues.

Enable that new checkbox and you should be sorted.

Chat and Games, I dont know about, dont think they were touched inbetween versions. What error messages are those feature reporting?

Games seem to be OK but chat gives this message:

Parse error: parse error in /home/..../lib/chat/chatlib.php on line 77

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/.../tiki-chat.php on line 28

Hiya,

Ok like 77 on that chatlib refers to a query with a sort_mode function, now in 1.8.2 we had to modify the sortmode in tikidblib to perform some checking for SQL Injection vunerabilities. Can you tell me which database your connecting to (mysql,pg, or something) so that I can try and trace this routine down.

Also can you check that you have the latest lib/tikidblib.php

// parse $sort_mode for evil stuff
    $sort_mode = preg_replace('/[^A-Za-z_,]/', '', $sort_mode);
    $sep = strrpos($sort_mode, '_');
    // force ending to either _asc or _desc
    if ( substr($sort_mode, $sep)!=='_asc' ) {
        $sort_mode = substr($sort_mode, 0, $sep) . '_desc';
    }

Thanks!

Damian
