You should consult them on how to it in details, as we do not know it, moreover to help you with it. Or you can find and hire a freelance developer to do it for you and your forum.

Support / AI Chatbot
Last post by Gabriel -
hello, i am not experienced with coding.
can somebody help me to install a custom chatbot in my forum (https://feed.vereinige.ch)?
openai o1 told me to create an account for the chatbot and subsequently gave me 2 different solutions:
1. create a folder in sources/extensions and add the code supplied by o1
2. create a custom package with instructions by o1 and upload via admin board
neither of them worked.

the bot should reply to questions in https://feed.vereinige.ch/index.php?board=10.0

i speak mainly german. help in other languages also welcome.
thanks in advance

Quote from: ahrasis –
chmod 777: Everything for everyone. This command will give read, write and execute permission to the owner, group and public. chmod 777 is considered potentially dangerous because you are giving read, write and execute permission on a file/directory to everyone (who is on your system). You should totally avoid it.


One - if there's a permission issue, 0777 will expose it. It will also confirm it's not a permission issue with a file or directory if the problem doesn't go away. Typically, if there's a permission issue, one would then go chase down the cause and fix that. In the end, it can be put back to original (or at least to something less  permissive than 0777 that still works (In my case for example, an update to my server caused attachments to suddenly fail posting. I changed the permissions on the attachment directory from 0755 to 0777 and voilla! 

Two - unless someone has access to the server file system, they're not going to be able to do anything regardless of the permissions settings, and if they do have access to the file system, depending on their status or group they may also be able to change the permissions on a file or directory anyway, right?
(In my case, since the only ones who have access to my file system are me and my host, I just left that folder as 0777.

In this case, I suspect you're right about the token or cookie, although "being nothing" isn't entirely accurate since Radu81 said "I am not able to make any edits on Add-on settings pages.."

First, why I think it is not a good idea?
Quotechmod 777: Everything for everyone. This command will give read, write and execute permission to the owner, group and public. chmod 777 is considered potentially dangerous because you are giving read, write and execute permission on a file/directory to everyone (who is on your system). You should totally avoid it.

Second, I could agree that it could be a cookie problem but I could not say anything more. I unfortunately do not think Debian 12 or nginx is the problem.

By the way, the token verification failed could just be nothing too:
Quote from: emanuele – Token failed is "kind" of normal in certain conditions.
The tokens are a security feature that (simplifying) allows to submit a form only once, that way, if you are tricked to submit data of a form by an hacker or so, it's very difficult to get the token right, and most likely you'll face the token verification failed.

Unfortunately, you'll get the same error if for example you submit a form, receive an error and you use the "back" button of the browser to go back, because what happens is:
Elk generates a token and adds it to the form
 you submit the form
first thing that Elk does is check if the token is correct, if it is, the token is invalidated and the program proceeds
 Elk generates an error maybe because you set something wrong and gives you the "fatal error page" with the "back" button
if you use the browser's back button, you will come back to the original form, but this form contains the token that has been invalidated
 you re-submit the form
* Elk verifies the token, but it finds it was invalidated and gives you the "token verification failed" error.
