I have recently installed yaf 2 (clean install) on 1&1 hosting - .Net 4 and Microsoft sql server 2012 and I have an issue with user profile saving.

When users go to edit profile page, make some changes and hit save nothing would happen; no error message no postback and no saving. I don't have this problem when I test it in a local machine with sql server express. Any idea what might be the cause of this and how to solve it?

I haven't changed any default provider in web.config file.

I appreciate your help.

I have tried it in Mozilla firefox 25.0.1 and internet explorer 10.

I haven't tested all the features yet but so far, saving new password for ordinary users doesn't work either.

When I try to change the password for non-admin user I am asked to confirm which user I am changing the password for and in the list there isn't the user who is logged in instead I have these 3 items:

one item is "<>"

email address of admin

username of admin

By the way profile can be updated from admin menu but not from the user own My Profile page.

Following features working fine for all users:

posting

sending private message

changing signature, picture, album

Passwords do not reset for normal users until they confirm them in email if I remember correctly. Are you using 'email confirmations' and is your mail server working properly? You may try disabling 'email verification' in the host settings. See normal user can then make changes - if so, it's waiting for email confirmation before it changes to new PW. Same with Email addresses - only admins can override that in admin user editor. If admin changes email or password - poof - it's set.

If there's no postback, look for javascript errors in browser...

This also happens on this forum. There should be an error logged in the event log.

Many thanks for your speedy replies.

Can you post the error from the event log here?

Did you use the date picker or did you enter the date manually?

Exception FarsiLibrary.Exceptions.InvalidPersianDateFormatException: Can not parse the value. Format is incorrect. at FarsiLibrary.PersianDate.Parse(String value) at YAF.Controls.EditUsersProfile.UpdateUserProfile(String userName) at YAF.Controls.EditUsersProfile.UpdateProfile_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e) at System.EventHandler.Invoke(Object sender, EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button.OnClick(EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button.RaisePostBackEvent(String eventArgument) at System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button.System.Web.UI.IPostBackEventHandler.RaisePostBackEvent(String eventArgument) at System.Web.UI.Page.RaisePostBackEvent(IPostBackEventHandler sourceControl, String eventArgument) at System.Web.UI.Page.RaisePostBackEvent(NameValueCollection postData) at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint)

But even when I use it without farsi calendar, birthday date does'nt save when updating profile although other changes are saved and there is no error message. As I said before, I don't have this problem at local machine.

As for date picker, it doesn't show up even when it is enabled in host setting.

When I comment out the following part of code in controls/EditUserProfile.ascx.cs it works fine for both Farsi and ordinary calendar.

 protected override void OnPreRender([NotNull] EventArgs e)
        {
            //// setup jQuery and DatePicker JS...
            YafContext.Current.PageElements.RegisterJQuery();
            YafContext.Current.PageElements.RegisterJQueryUI();

            //var ci = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(this.GetCulture(true));

            //if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(this.GetText("COMMON", "CAL_JQ_CULTURE")))
            //{
            //    YafContext.Current.PageElements.RegisterJQueryUILanguageFile();

            //    if (ci.IsFarsiCulture())
            //    {
            //        YafContext.Current.PageElements.RegisterJsResourceInclude(
            //            "datepicker-farsi", "js/jquery.ui.datepicker-farsi.js");
            //    }
            //}

            //YafContext.Current.PageElements.RegisterJsBlockStartup(
            //    "DatePickerJs",
            //    JavaScriptBlocks.DatePickerLoadJs(
            //        this.Birthday.ClientID,
            //        this.GetText("COMMON", "CAL_JQ_CULTURE_DFORMAT"),
            //        this.GetText("COMMON", "CAL_JQ_CULTURE")));

            YafContext.Current.PageElements.RegisterJsResourceInclude("msdropdown", "js/jquery.msDropDown.js");

            YafContext.Current.PageElements.RegisterJsBlockStartup(
                "dropDownJs", JavaScriptBlocks.DropDownLoadJs(this.Country.ClientID));

old code:

protected override void OnPreRender([NotNull] EventArgs e)
        {
            //// setup jQuery and DatePicker JS...
            YafContext.Current.PageElements.RegisterJQuery();
            YafContext.Current.PageElements.RegisterJQueryUI();


            var ci = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(this.GetCulture(true));

            if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(this.GetText("COMMON", "CAL_JQ_CULTURE")))
            {
                YafContext.Current.PageElements.RegisterJQueryUILanguageFile();

                if (ci.IsFarsiCulture())
                {
                    YafContext.Current.PageElements.RegisterJsResourceInclude(
                        "datepicker-farsi", "js/jquery.ui.datepicker-farsi.js");
                }
            }

new code:

protected override void OnPreRender([NotNull] EventArgs e)
        {
            //// setup jQuery and DatePicker JS...
            YafContext.Current.PageElements.RegisterJQuery();
            YafContext.Current.PageElements.RegisterJQueryUI();

            var ci = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(this.GetCulture(true)); 

            if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(this.GetText("COMMON", "CAL_JQ_CULTURE")))
            {
                if (ci.IsFarsiCulture())
                {
                    YafContext.Current.PageElements.RegisterJsResourceInclude(
                        "datepicker-farsi", "js/jquery.ui.datepicker-farsi.js");
                }
                else
                {
                    YafContext.Current.PageElements.RegisterJQueryUILanguageFile();
                }

                
            }

My forum culture (board setting) is set to Farsi both at local and remote host. But when I run the app in remote host the culture seems to be Arabic instead of Farsi, because the date shown is in Arabic fromat, whereas at local host the date shown is in Farsi format.

The option of using Farsi calendar is unticked at both of them. Any idea why the culture is different and how I can make sure that it is set to Farsi and not to Arabic?

This can not work, you changed the code so that the datepicker script is not loaded when using farsi.

The jquery.ui.datepicker-farsi.js js file that is only an addon for the datepicker and is currently out of date, and did not support the latest version of jquery-ui.

However i committed an updated version of that file, the datepicker should now work with farsi and the latest commit

https://github.com/YAFNET/YAFNET/commit/9eb7303f1b22c542d459e3fc43d6552e5761e062 

The date picker is displayed now for English date, but I haven't had the farsi date picker yet.

Another problem is: When the edit profile page is opened the value of birthday text box will disapear. Althoug it has been saved before.

And I still don't know why birthday can be saved at local host but not at remote server.

Besides, Is it not possible for users to see an invalid data error (like for other profile fields) when the date is not right?
