Topic: Broken Bits and Pieces!

[Ken (OP)]

Currently we have several broken bits and pieces here on the FamilyForum brought on by upgrades/updates in some of the software that runs the site and how those different software's interact with each other.

One of the more noticeable errors can be found it the Arcade Shoutbox, those two 'Notice: Undefined Index:' errors should not be there:
 

What happens sometimes is that different Mods can be in conflict with each other, or bits of code get left behind when a Mod is uninstalled and because we do a lot of testing on this site things tend to get a little cluttered after a while.
So, to resolve that and the other conflicts that are causing issues in the forums I'm going to reload fresh files to the site and then reinstall only those Mods that we are using now.

There may be some downtime, but overall you should not see much of an interruption in forum usability. Mainly you may notice a temporary loss of some features, like our custom theme as an example.

The process will start later today.

Thanks... Ken

Good luck Ken.

[Ken (OP)]

Good luck Ken.

Thanks Brad.

The 'big' stuff is already done.
Loaded a fresh set of SMF2.0 RC1 files and then started reinstalling to larger Mods... TinyPortal v1.0 RC1, SMF Arcade 2.5 RC1, SMF Gallery Pro, etc. Most every thing is working out OK so far, except for that pesky error in the Arcade Shoutbox, not finding a cure for that yet.

Well, gotta be offline for a while, so the rest will have to wait until later.  :disted:

That is an error in TP. I'll see if I can find a fix for that to see if it goes away here. Don't know why the shoutbox is showing it though...

I take that back, I don't "think" there's a problem with TP. I think it's the shoutbox mod. What shoutbox mod is it your using?

[Ken (OP)]

Sounds good.  :2thumbs:
There is a SMF file management mod in the package manager that you can install if you need to access the forum files.

Thanks Brad, feel free to make adjustments as you see the need.



EDIT: I be going now... be back later.

Looks like there's an error when trying to open a game in the arcade. Looks like missing games and stuff. Can't install the file mod because of errors. Looks like you have a fun road ahead of you Ken. lol I can't even see any shoutbox stuff in the admin. I see a lot of errors for it though.

[Ken (OP)]

The 'Mochi Media' game hack was not yet reinstalled and that may have caused your issue with gameplay... it's back in now, so when you get a chance try the game again to see if it plays and saves correctly.
BTW... some of the Mochi Media games will not save scores to the forum db, so anytime we find one that won't save we need to remove it. We also get a lot of the games from Underdog's site and I think all of them work correctly.

The file manager is installed now, let me know if you see any more errors with it.

The shoutbox thingie only shows up in a TP block:
http://www.ourfamilyforum.org/FamilyForum/index.php?action=tpadmin;blockedit=194;ca86a01=e3b977bff61f5ed6bedcbc776aad0785
It's the 'nneonneo's AJAX ShoutBox', but it has been recoded a little by Underdog to work in the Arcade.

On the file manager install it gave a test fail for Sources/Subs.php, so I'm thinking, "NP, I'll just do a manual edit for that code."

Trouble is, it's not showing the same code in Sub.php that the xml file is wanting to see.

The xml file is calling for:

Code: [Select]

<file name="$sourcedir/Subs.php">
<operation>
<search position="replace"><![CDATA[ 'show' => allowedTo('manage_permissions'),
),]]></search>
<add><![CDATA[ 'show' => allowedTo('manage_permissions'),
),
'filemanager' => array(
'title' => $txt['fm_adminbutton'],
'href' => $scripturl . '?action=admin;area=filemanager',
'show' => allowedTo('admin_forum'),
),]]></add>
</operation>
But this code is in the Subs.php file:

Code: [Select]

'show' => allowedTo('manage_permissions'),
'is_last' => true,
),
So... I need to fighre out what to do with the ''is_last' => true,".  :up2some:

[IchBin?]

The "is_last" part indicates that it is the last item of the menu for that part of the menu. After you replace the code it should look like this:

Code: [Select]

                    'permissions' => array(
                        'title' => $txt['edit_permissions'],
                        'href' => $scripturl . '?action=admin;area=permissions',
                        'show' => allowedTo('manage_permissions'),
),
'filemanager' => array(
'title' => $txt['fm_adminbutton'],
'href' => $scripturl . '?action=admin;area=filemanager',
'show' => allowedTo('admin_forum'),
                        'is_last' => true,
                    ),

Installed the edit and the file manager seems to work OK, but there are errors in the log and there is a big white space at the top of the file manager cp page.

Found a discussion on the issue HERE.

Not seeing any kind of resolution though... Arantor is no longer a member on SMF, so I'll have a look on his site to see if any help can be found.

Whoops! Looks like Nas was the mod author, so I'll have to see if he will update or fix the mod.

EDIT: Tried the Package Parser on SMF and it is saying that the package will not work with SMF2 RC1.

For the blank part of the page, look index.css around line 1690 find the #messageindex section and either comment out or remove the clear: both; section. Test your theme on a few pages to make sure that it doesn't affect any other pages. If so let me know.

[Ken (OP)]

See my edit above Brad... maybe we won't be able to use this file mgt mod until Nas updates it?

That worked... not seeing any issues with other pages so far.
