• Redirect?OpenPage? Wtheck is this thing doing?

    By Jonathan Torres 2 decades ago

    Please let me know if this is a feature or if Im rushing into things and blindly missed some setting.



    I have created 5 categories. Naturally by default all the categories were blank. I posted "blah" in one category. I click on "Home : NameOfMyDB" and it goes back to the main Category listing like it should.

    But if I go to one of the empty categories, then click on Home, it shoots me to the category I just posted in. So it goes to "WebBoardMainActive?OpenView&login&user=MyName" instead of "WebBoardIndex?ReadForm&login&user=MyName"

    Im guessing thats just a feature so it goes to your active posts when you move around. If it just did that it wouldnt be so bad, even though that feature is extremely confusing and Ive never seen a PHP forum do that.

    The real problem is after it goes to the active post/category, I have to click on "Home" sometimes 5 times to just get out of that category. Whats going on there??? It eventually gets back but the first few times it keeps going to the same WebBoardMainActive? link. Still trying to read the JS on the redirect page but Im definitely missing something.



    Did anyone else get this behavoir??

      Eh, found why it was doing it, I guess…



      If onimod_nocategory == '1' then it kicks to the WebBoardMainActive. I have no idea why it takes like 5 clicks to get out of it. I just removed one if/else statement and removed the onimod_nocategory check in the first one. Really not how forums should act… sorry if I missed the option to disable that but if there isnt one there really should be. All major php forums are active, but they dont force you to go to the most active posts, just give you a link to them on a main index.
