Undefined index on posting blank comment

[nothingman]

This happens when I do not enter anything on the comments box and click the Submit button. Strangely, the opposite happens to a some users. The members get this error when they do the opposite i.e. try to post a comment on a story.

Try replacing that block with this:

if (isset($result['exceeded_daily_limit']) && $result['exceeded_daily_limit']) {
                $h->messages[$h->lang['comment_moderation_exceeded_daily_limit']] = 'green';
            } elseif (isset($result['exceeded_url_limit']) && $result['exceeded_url_limit']) {
                $h->messages[$h->lang['comment_moderation_exceeded_url_limit']] = 'green';
            } elseif (isset($result['not_enough_comments']) && $result['not_enough_comments']) {
                $h->messages[$h->lang['comment_moderation_not_enough_comments']] = 'green';
            } 

If it works, I'll include it in the next version.

P.S. In future, could you paste your plugin list from your system report instead of posting a screenshot, thanks.

Thanks Nick, I'm not getting the error anymore. BUT, for users who were getting the above error don't get the error message BUT their comment doesn't show up.

Sure thing - sorry about that.

*BUMP*...anyone?

Can you duplicate the problem yourself? If not, find out the roles and permissions of the users having the problem, the number of comments they've previously had approved, the frequency which they are posting comments at, whether they are posting or editing comments.... and check them against your own comments settings. Make a new user for yourself with the same role, permissions, etc. and try to duplicate the problem. Once you are able to repeat the problem, tell us the conditions necessary for us to duplicate it and then we'll fix it.

As an admin I'm unable to duplicate the problem (i.e I can post comments). I tried logging in with this users' username/password but couldn't post any comments at all.

I believe it has to do with the Permissions of the user but the radio boxes on the Permissions and Settings page for my site don't show up except for the Update button - this happened after upgrading to 1.2 and I had wanted to post this issue for a some time - my fault, always deferred it for a later time, so sorry about that.

That is most likely because of missing database rows. You had this same problem before:
