Hi

Just noticed that mine now gives a blank page when going to http://www.bashys-place.com/photoplog/index.php so i just tried the upgrade and chose the 3.6 version, I have also checked the config and it is still the same (100% correct) i am totally baffled, any advice pleas?

This is the error i got when using the original path that it used to be without the /usr/

Code:

Warning: Unknown(./includes/functions_forumlist.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /includes/functions.php(4946) : eval()'d code on line 186



Fatal error: (null)() [function.require]: Failed opening required './includes/functions_forumlist.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /usr/home/bashys/domains/bashys-place.com/public_html/forums/includes/functions.php(4946) : eval()'d code on line 186

I added /usr/ as the php file said when it checked for the correct dir and this is the error is gives now

Code:

Warning: in_array() [function.in-array]: Wrong datatype for second argument in /usr/home/bashys/domains/bashys-place.com/public_html/photoplog/functions.php(458) : eval()'d code on line 204



Warning: Unknown(./includes/functions_forumlist.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /includes/functions.php(4946) : eval()'d code on line 186



Fatal error: (null)() [function.require]: Failed opening required './includes/functions_forumlist.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /usr/home/bashys/domains/bashys-place.com/public_html/forums/includes/functions.php(4946) : eval()'d code on line 186

As you can see i did a search here and added the code that shows the errors
I also created the php file to get my full forum dir and added it.
I made sure the folder images permissions are 777
I rebuilt bitfields (just in case)
I checked all permissions for me and there 100% ok

Not sure what else to check :(

Any advice please,

Regards

Let's look at the first warning:

Code:

Warning: Unknown(./includes/functions_forumlist.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /includes/functions.php(4946) : eval()'d code on line 186

This error says that there is a problem happening at line 4946 of the vB /includes/functions.php file. Line 4946 is the global_complete hook. The error also says that line 186 of some plugin you have that is using the global_complete hook is where the problem resides. The actual error is that /includes/functions_forumlist.php cannot be found, meaning that the plugin might not be using the constant vB DIR when it tries to include the functions_forumlist.php file. PhotoPlog doesn't use the functions_forumlist.php file or the global_complete hook, so it is a different modification, one using the global_complete hook, that you need to edit.

Let's look at the second warning:

Code:

Warning: in_array() [function.in-array]: Wrong datatype for second argument in /usr/home/bashys/domains/bashys-place.com/public_html/photoplog/functions.php(458) : eval()'d code on line 204

This error says that there is a problem happening at line 458 of the PhotoPlog functions.php file. Line 458 is uses the vB fetch_template function to set the navbar. The error also implies that a plugin is being evaluated, and that there is a problem on line 204 of the plugin. However, there are no hooks in either the lite version of PhotoPlog or the vB fetch_template function. Given the second warning started happening after you added /usr to the PhotoPlog config file, remove the /usr bit from the PhotoPlog config file so that the path starts with /home instead. Presumably that change makes it so you get the first warning instead.

Now, as to the first warning, you need to find the plugin, the one using the global_complete hook, where there is an include or require statement made for the /includes/functions_forumlist.php file and set the path using the vB DIR constant, and that should get rid of the warning. Please note that the warning is coming from another modification, not PhotoPlog, but shows up in PhotoPlog because the plugin using the global_complete hook is looking for the /includes/functions_forumlist.php file in the wrong directory when in the gallery.

Once you find the plugin, please let me know the name of the modification, as this functions_forumlist.php related issue has come up a few times. However, as I currently have no idea as to what modification's plugin is apparently not setting the path to functions_forumlist.php correctly, I cannot tell anyone what plugin to edit other than to say it is a plugin looking for the functions_forumlist.php file from the global_complete hook.

Hi Morgan

Thank you very much for a detailed analysis of my issue, thats actually one of the best support responses i have ever had, it actually explains exactly what is going on, I will go through all the products fisrt disabling them 1 by 1 as i am sure it will be a product i have installed recently, I will then report back to you...

Thank you so much for your time...

!st one i tried resolved the issue of the blank page, the hack is
Forum Archive List Footer I am not too bothered with a fix as i am gonna remove it now (the acrhive hack that is)
I also removed the /usr/ from the path...

I can now enter Photoplog but i get this at the top of the page

Code:

Warning: in_array() [function.in-array]: Wrong datatype for second argument in /usr/home/bashys/domains/bashys-place.com/public_html/photoplog/functions.php(458) : eval()'d code on line 204

It looks like the /usr/ is still in the path but its definitely not 100% its not

I suppose if i turn off the error reporting then the error will hide and we would be none the wiser as
Photoplog appears to be working ok now :)

In the Forum Archive List Forum Footer plugin located at the global_complete hook find:

Code:

require_once('./includes/functions_forumlist.php');

And replace with the following:

Code:

require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_forumlist.php');

For the remaining warning, did you remove /usr from the PhotoPlog config file?

Ah ya caught me mid editing my post lol, Yes i just put that in the post above, the /usr/ has deffo gone from the path

Code:

// try the getcwd function: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.getcwd.php



define('PHOTOPLOG_FWD','/home/bashys/domains/bashys-place.com/public_html/forums');

is whats in there now, I have removed the error reporting line now as well

The edit for the forum footer archive worked well thank you very much.

Do you have the following for line 458 of the PhotoPlog functions.php file, and if so, do you have any modification that affects the navbar or the vB fetch_template function? When you see "eval()'d code on line 204" as part of an error message, that usually indicates that there is a problem with a plugin, line 204 of the plugin in this case, but as there is no hook on line 458 of the PhotoPlog functions.php file, the error might be coming from some modification that affects the navbar or the vB fetch_template function where in_array is used as part of the modification.

Code:

eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');

Yep, i have exactly the same Morgan, i did a search for your line to make sure it was character for character

Turn error reporting back on and temporarily replace this:

Code:

eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');

With the following:

Code:

        // eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');

        $navbar = 'Just testing. The navbar will be back in a moment.';

Then see if you still get the in_array warning.

If you no longer get the in_array warning, look at your navbar template. Do you use in_array in any navbar template conditional? If so, what is the conditional?
