I stumbled across this bug in 2.7.6 when trying to register a new test user on my new forum. I've never used FUDforum before so this is a fresh install using Postgres as the database.

The SQL error was a bit cryptic, but it looks like the fix is pretty simple. Basically it looks like the parenthesis in the WHILE statement got a bit mixed up. I'm pretty confident my patch fixes both cases, but the COALESCE is what executes in my case so I couldn't test both.

What I did was remove the second closing parenthesis after the COALESCE (so the >0 applies to that and not the entire WHILE statement), added a second opening parenthesis before the (g1.group_cache_opt so that I could add a closing parenthesis after the >0. Okay, maybe I shouldn't have tried to explain it in english Smile

Here's a diff between the original index.php and my patched one:

Nice, but you patched the wrong file, you patched the compiled file, you need to add changes to the uncompiled files located in the DATA_ROOT if you want your change to stick Wink

Ah, thanks! Okay, I've patched the correct file this time:

That fix merely made the number of parenthesis match, the resulting SQL is still broken. Here's the error you get:

ERROR:  argument of OR must be type boolean, not type integer


Which is due to the WHERE clause:

WHERE (mo.id IS NOT NULL OR (COALESCE(g2.group_cache_opt, g1.group_cache_opt)) & 1)>0


This ties the
>0
to the entire WHERE clause and not just the result of the COALESCE as intended.

My patch results in the following WHERE clauses (depending on the options) :

WHERE  (mo.id IS NOT NULL OR (COALESCE(g2.group_cache_opt, g1.group_cache_opt) & 1)>0) 

OR
WHERE  ((g1.group_cache_opt & 1)>0)


Obviously the outer ()'s aren't required, but this was the least number of characters I could change to fix the statement.

EDIT: On further reflection, removing the outer parenthesis makes it a 2 character patch instead of 3 Smile
                        ((!$is_a || $cat_id) ?  ' WHERE ' : '') .
-                       ($is_a ? '' : (_uid ? ' (mo.id IS NOT NULL OR (COALESCE(g2.group_cache_opt, g1.group_cache_opt))' : ' (g1.group_cache_opt').' & 1)>0') .
+                       ($is_a ? '' : (_uid ? ' mo.id IS NOT NULL OR (COALESCE(g2.group_cache_opt, g1.group_cache_opt)' : ' (g1.group_cache_opt').' & 1)>0') .
                        ($cat_id ? ($is_a ? '' : ' AND ') . ' v.c IN('.implode(',', ($cf = $cidxc[$cat_id][5])).') ' : '').' ORDER BY v.id');


Thanks!

Thanks for the detailed analysis, I've added another tweak that should make PostgreSQL happy.

Close! Delete one more character and it'll work. There are two closing parenthesis after the COALESCE statement (just before the single-quote), there should be only one.

e.g.

g1.group_cache_opt) & 1 > 0)'

Thanks!

Looks perfectly fine to me:

(mo.id IS NOT NULL OR (COALESCE(g2.group_cache_opt, g1.group_cache_opt) & 1 > 0))

There are 3 braces open and 3 closed...

Doh! I didn't read it closely enough. I didn't notice that you merged the >0 part into both statements. It's much easier to read now.

Nevermind! Should be fine Smile
