error display/logging? #216

Open NumerousHats opened 1 year ago

NumerousHats commented 1 year ago

Our scalar site has suddenly developed an issue where the "upload media files" form no longer appears. It's similar to #146, but it's not that, as #146 was related to a php issue that was fixed in a scalar 2.5 release AFAIK. Plus I only see the problem with one book (other books behave perfectly fine).

But that's not really my question. When I click "upload media files", I think I see a very brief flash of an error screen before it's replaced by a "blank" scalar page (just gray with the scalar menu bar at the top). How do I view or log the error message?

Hi @NumerousHats ,

Sorry you ran into this problem! Are you able to View > Page Source the page (ie, look at the HTML of the page, not the rendered HTML in the Web Inspector). There might be a PHP error at the very top, which is the ghost you mention seeing when the page first loads.

If not, there's other things we can try,.

Ahhh, I didn't realize that php errors would show up in the raw HTML. Good to know!

Yes, I see a whole slew of errors... Should I open a new issue or continue in this one (even though it has nothing to do with error display)?

Can you email them to me at craigdietrich at gmail? Let's debug that way, we can post the results here for future users.
