Can't link banners after upgrade to 3.2.3

[redrain]

Hi,

After upgrading to 3.2.3 I can't link banners to the zones. I get "You don't have access to that page. You have been re-directed." when I try to link a banner to a zone. I've tried a clean install but nothing changed.

I've checked banner-zone.php for changes. And here is the result:

$ diff ads_old/www/admin/banner-zone.php banner-zone.php 
59a60,61
>         OA_Permission::checkSessionToken();
> 

Yes, if I commented out that line I can link banners without any problem. So problem seems to be OA_Permission::checkSessionToken() line. I can't find any other files it's used in. Do you have any idea why this could happen? And more importantly can "my solution" cause any problem?

Had the exact same problem, thanks for the quick hack fix.

Upgrading Revive really is a bit of a pain

I have 3.2.1 and was about to update to 3.2.3 ... is this a reason to hold off?

[GavinMannion]

Once I commented out that line everything started to work again... not sure of the repercussions of that though

There were security fixes also. So I would upgrade again. As @GavinMannion said this is the only problem we had. I wish Admins would comment on repercussions.

So advice is to upgrade anyway then apply the hack at the top of this thread? I find being able to link banners to zones kinda important ;-)

I just upgraded 

that hack didn't work for  me

2  errors-

1.  You don't have access to that page. You have been re-directed. 
     If I try to  deactivate a banner,  I get that  same  message 
2. InstallNonBlockingErrors   and i found no answer for that  except a thread with no answer from  3.2.2

Yes. Of course it's your decision. But please try it before upgrading your main server.

To deactivate banner you should look into banner-activate.php file. The OA_Permission::checkSessionToken() function is at 38th line.

They have patched it in 3.2.4 according to the git commits list. Not sure when its planned for release though.

Hello, we had to apply the modification to files banner-activate.php and banner-zone.php to make it working.

The question now is: what does it mean deactivating the OA_Permission::checkSessionToken() function ?? Can that affetc other functions of the software?

Thanks, Nicola

You can 'safely' remove that option, it does not affect the functionality of the software.

Great - is there a hotfix for this in the form of a patch or something else?
