Question BUG: Thread dissapears after approving.

Hi folks, I noticed that if I have a message waiting for approval and click on approve button, but forgot to check the checkbox, the message/thread dissapears and I need to go to the database to change the "hold" value to make it shows up.

Thanks, iLucato. I'm not sure that this is a defect or not. I mean, how can Kunena safeguard/"idiot-proof" against deliberate user choices or mistakes (e.g. "I forgot to check the checkbox")?

Fortunately you also found a workaround for the problem.

Would you like to provide a bit more information, please? Perhaps a few screenshots to illustrate the problem? In my daily use of Kunena, I don't use the "message waiting for approval" functions and so I'm having a problem visualising which screens, which checkboxes, do what.

Perhaps you might also like to tell us which version of Kunena you are using.

Thank you very much.

Well, Kunene would check if there is message waiting for approval and none checkboxes were checked and it was hit approve button, would show a pop-up warning "You didn't select a message. Check one or more and hit approve again", so, Kunena shouldn't go for next step it no checkboxes are checked.

Yup, more or less, wasn't into the category, but I moved as administrator later.

Sure, here goes a screenshot after hiting the tab "X messages waiting for approval". I'm using K 1.5.12.



Acção that should be "Ação" is 'Action' and the button "Aprovar" is 'Approve'.

You're welcome, and thank you. ;0)

That's an excellent suggestion and thank you for your help in reporting this!

We'll make sure the developers look into this situation for both K 1.5.x and K 1.6.

Hi,
I have and had a similar problem.

Some time ago a thread disaperad and reported it in the Forum. As the version was somewhat old we upgraded to the latest version. Now still used. Kunena 1.5.11

Now I got the problem again. After posting a reply I didn't get back to the Forum. Only a gray page.

As I in this case know in what thread I posted, I found the thread allright in the DB table but without my new posting.

After reading this thread I checked the hold field. Everything in the table is on 0.

Is there another block field somewhere in the DB? In a session? In a cookie?

I've logged out from the server. And also started my PC completely from scratch.

G'day, over. FYI, 1.5.11 is an old version now. The latest public stable version is K 1.5.12.

As you can be able to infer from the subject, the symptoms of the problem require two conditions:

(1) Kunena forums where categories are defined as Review Posts = Yes.
(2) You were reviewing other users, pressed the "Approve" button, but did not check each message(s) that you were approving - as seen in iLucato's screenshot. In other words, you forgot to check the checkboxes. (This is the so-called "bug".)

Are these the conditions in your situation?
