            modules_update($ID, '', $p_arr['NickName']);
        }
        else
        {
            modules_update($ID);

        }
            unlink($sUserDataFile); 
            createUserDataFile( $ID );
    } 


i had the datafile get deleted and recreate itself because i notice the only time the datafile gets updated is when you log in again so i guess you can try that.(im using 5.6)

This will improve things a little, I applied above fix and I was getting an error when using profile_edit.php as the admin to edit any pofile or approve it if there was no user data file in the server, it was just an error shown at my error log stating sometimes that there was no file to delete (unlink), as far as I can see, everything works as it should, just wanted to stop receiving that error log message.

In the code above:

Replace:

Code:

            unlink($sUserDataFile);  
            createUserDataFile( $ID );

With:

Code:

		if ( file_exists( $sUserDataFile ) )
		{
			unlink($sUserDataFile);
			createUserDataFile( $ID );
		}

Take care.

Or - you can just disable the /cache system totally... sometimes we do that for customers also.

Does disabling the cache system totally have any cons?? any relevant pros (other than solving the problem presented at this thread)?

How you disable that? if it is ok to disabled it totally then why it is part of the script if it is not really needed?

Sorry, some questions that came to my mind at the moment I read the previous post.

Take care and thank you for any information.

I don't think it really matters much... but who knows - nobody has really done any testing as to if the cache system makes anything faster (or slower).

As for disabling, it, I don't usually do that - Mark does (our lead programmer) so I don't have that information on how to do it handy to share with you.
