I'm testing the code pack from Solspace for the Friends module. This is on a brand new clean install of EE 2.5.5

The error occurs when trying to add a comment. Full error code below

Having done a search it seems that it's an issue on the EE side rather than because of a specific add-on.

Does anybody have a solution that does not involve core hacking?

Thanks.

This is happening as the ip_address column was dropped in EE 2.5.4 and replaced with column session_id

Solspace 'Friends' hasn't been updated since September 20th 2012 so it hasn't been patched to fix this issue. The only way around this is to either wait for an update or 'hack' mod.friends.php

There will be a pre xid check in the comments of this file - this section needs to be updated to work with EE 2.5.4+,

You'll need to use ee()->security->check_xid(ee()

If you have any other solspace modules that have been updated (User / Freeform) you should be able to patch it together.

  • Thanks, Jamie. Solspace are on the case so I would hope that an update is coming soon. I'd rather wait a few days than get into the horror of hacking modules. – Frequency Jan 2 '13 at 13:24
  • Dropping of ip_address has also broken Safecracker Registration. – ExpressionEngineNewbie Jan 2 '13 at 15:14

Got a repsonse from Solspace Support. It's an issue that affects many add-ons and it seems that it's the add-on developers responsibility to modify their code.
