- - v3.8.2 (http://www.photoplog.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2845)

I have tried to install this on a forum running vb 3.8.2 and get nowhere.

The forum path is definitely correct,the photoplog ACP menu is corrupt,the first three settings groups are blank.

The files have been double checked and I did a fresh upload from a new .zip file also.:confused:

What do you mean by corrupt? Please post a screenshot.

Don't have a screenshot as I uninstalled again.

In the Photoplog ACP the first three settings categories lead to empty/blank pages, there are no settings available.

If you reinstall, please post a screenshot.

Here it is. Tried it again,same result. vB ACP Photoplog options is fine.

Photoplog shows at forums/photoplog, can make categories but those 1st 3 Photoplog menu items result in an empty blue screen as seen in s/shot.

The problem is with libxml2 as documented here. Please direct your sysadmin or host to that PHP bug report so that your sysadmin or host can update the required software for you. This is not a PhotoPlog bug. As reported from...

This is still being worked on.
Currently the only options are to build PHP with libxml2 <= 2.6.32 or
build ext/xml with expat.

just use the example in the manual. Your change simply gets predefined
entities working but breaks all other cases. I'm currently looking at
getting the change in libxml2 that caused this reverted. The problem
stems from the magic needed to emulate expat behavior as its not native
in libxml so non-standard use of the libxml sax hooks was needed.

Otherwise you can edit the cpnav_photoplog.xml file to work around the libxml2 bug.

Untested but you can try changing lines like this:

Code:

<link>options.php?do=options&dogroup=photoplog</link>

To this:

Code:

<link><![CDATA[options.php?do=options&dogroup=photoplog]]></link>

Well,I have had this checked and the server is running the latest release :

libxml2 2.7.3 which according to that report is the version that cures the bug.:confused:

I edited the file on the three affected lines as you suggested which seems to have cured the error,odd though that all the other menu items were working and needed no change.
