These are minor bugs found at Admin Secure 1.7, per May 29 2004.
Affects only in functionality but not security.

Problem:
PHP 4.3+ will display warning message when accessing WHOIS lookup with PHP safe mode turned on.

Solution:
Open asfunc.php file, and find this following code:

Code:

@fsockopen($server,43,&$errno,&$errstr,10)

You'll have to find two similar codes like this. Replace both of them with:

Code:

@fsockopen($server,43,$errno,$errstr,10)
Problem:
If Tracking System activated, anonymous visitors are listed as blank name.

Solution:
Open asfunc.php file, and find this following code:

Code:

$ut_user=(isset($anonymous)&&($anonymous!=""))?$anonymoys:"Anonymous";

You'll have to find only one code like this. Replace with:

Code:

$ut_user=(isset($anonymous)&&($anonymous!=""))?$anonymous:"Anonymous";
Problem:
Wrong IP exclusion variables checking, which causing new IP exclusion insertion is impossible.

Solution:
Open asec.php file and find this following code:

Code:

if(!ereg('^[0-9\.]+)-?([0-9\.]*$',$code,$match))

You'll have to find only one code like this. Replace with:

Code:

if(!ereg('^([0-9\.]+)-?([0-9\.]*)$',$code,$match))

I found a way around the problem people have with not being able to access forum admin after installing admin secure...

Make sure you have a user name(meaning a normal user account)that is the same name as your god admin account....and before you install admin secure make sure you goto your forum admin, goto User Admin then goto Permissions, and make sure you add the user name that is also your god account as a forum administrator...Now to log in to your forum admin, just log in under your god admin, then log in under same user name(main login at index.php)
Now if you goto admin panel and click on forum admin, it will let you in...It doesnt help for those who already have it installed, but as long as you create forum admin with same name as the god admin, you can access it like that....Dunno maybe there is another way around it, but it works for me.. Laughing

I dont think the name has to be the same as your god account, but whatever it is, you need to add that name as a forum administrator, and be logged in under that account, and your admin account..and it will let you into the forum admin..

Nice tips. Smile

Now my turn (this could affect with bb2nuke 2.0.8 only):
First, open "modules/Forums/admin/pagestart.php", then find this line:

Code:

if ($cookie[2] == $row2['user_password'] && ($row2['user_password'] != "" && $row2['user_level'] == 2) && ($row[radminsuper] == 1 OR $row[radminforum] == 1)) {

Replace with:

Code:

if ($row[radminsuper] == 1 OR $row[radminforum] == 1) {
