Configuring conversations

Julesbl

Hi

I am trying to fix an install of Vanilla 2, it has been upgraded from v0.9 via various versions of 1.0.

The main problem I am having is that the private conversations are not, apparently, available. There are no permissions associated in the roles and permissions section though there does seem to some configurations in config.php

// Conversations

$Configuration['Conversations']['Version'] = '2.0.17.10';

$Configuration['Conversations']['Installed'] = '1';

$Configuration['EnabledApplications']['Conversations'] = 'conversations';

Plus what is in the conversations config file.

Can anybody help?

I recommend the following:

1. Browser to /utility/update.
2. If that doesn't work disable then re-enable conversations.

Keep in mind that there aren't too many permissions associated with conversations. You should be able to browser to /messages/all though.

Hi Todd

Tried that, no effect.
Getting this on /messages/all

"Fatal error: Class 'ConversationsController' not found in C:\VSS\WS\Greenpower\web\forum\applications\conversations\controllers\class.messagescontroller.php on line 22"

Seems like the system is not loading certain classes, had the same problem with class.dashboardcontroller.php till I put it in boostrap.php

Is your site located in the path of the error message? If not your cache might be wrong.

Try deleting /cache/*.ini. If you've moved the site recently then things won't be set properly.

[Split Dammit] Bump this. Was there ever a fix? I'm having the same problem (using the Vanilla 2.0.18.8) I tried the suggestion of deleting the /cache/*.ini files but to no avail.

@LeftBrain did you recently update to 2.0.18.8?

If the autoloader cache isn't out of date, try uploading a fresh copy of the core files.

Make sure to take a backup first.

That worked! Thanks.

For people who might be experiencing this problem in the future this is what I did to fix it.

1. Download the latest Vanilla 2.0.18.8 file
2. Unzip it to create the folder on your computer
3. In your FTP software (I use Filezilla) open the unzipped vanilla folder and highlight all the folders & files.
4. Drag that stuff to your forum folder.
5. When you are asked the option to replace a file choose 'Overwrite if file is newer'

That worked for me.
