Hello, aiiwa233! Welcome to SMFHelper.  :peace

Personally, I haven't used Litespeed yet. So, maybe someone else may be able to help. :)

Coding & Mods / Using SMF 2.1's Subs.php funct...
Last post by aiiwa233 - Feb 03, 2026, 08:00 PM
I'm writing a standalone PHP script (outside the forum root) that needs to validate a user's password. I want to use SMF's $smcFunc['scrypt'] or the validateLoginPassword function from Subs.php.


I've included SSI.php and can access $smcFunc. However, when I try to call validateLoginPassword, I get a "call to undefined function" error.

Code snippet:
php<br>require_once('/path/to/forum/SSI.php');<br>// Can query user data with $smcFunc, but...<br>$valid = validateLoginPassword($password, $hash, $username); // Fails<br>
Do I need to manually include Subs-Auth.php or is there a better method to tap into SMF's authentication system externally without triggering full forum bootstrap?

SMF 2.1 / Image attachments not showing ...

After migrating my SMF 2.1.5 forum to a new host using LiteSpeed Web Server, users cannot see attached images in posts. The attachment icons appear, but clicking them gives a 404.

Could LiteSpeed be blocking the dynamic attachment PHP script (index.php?action=dlattach)? Has anyone experienced this and found a specific LiteSpeed configuration rule to fix it?

I haven't IE in ages. I used to only use Chrome for making sure themes displayed properly but not anymore. I prefer FF for that.

I switched from IE back then because the forum I frequented (running SMF 1.1.4) used a Dziner theme that didn't display right in IE.

It's got a few bugs but certainly one to watch I think.  :rgton

I've always had FF as well. Probably not as long as @live627 but pretty long.

I've always used Firefox since around 2008, v3 or so. I would use Edge for its debugging tools until FF caught up.
