forum_viewforum.php only displays {---CAPTION---} and {---BREADCRUMS---}

[STR82UII]

Bug Description

forum_viewforum.php only displays {---CAPTION---} and {---BREADCRUMS---} on this page. My forum is here https://www.emailtoinmates.com/forum and if you click one of the topic/forum links it will show you what it's doing. (or not doing as it were).

The veiwtopic.php page displays the individual topics properly but those pages can't be reached because of the error.(https://www.emailtoinmates.com/extras/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?id=19)

Upgraded from a v .7 site a month ago and it's done it since, original was working properly. Server has PHP 7.4

[STR82UII]

Forgot to mention, the meta title tags of the blank pages is correct, the page's title shows in the tab etc

[Jimmi08]

@STR82UII check your error logs. This look ({---CAPTION---} and {---BREADCRUMS---}) is when there is fatal error on the page.

And you should switch to SEF-URLs for forum, if you can.

I posted the error log on github, emptying it first then visited the error by clicking each of the forum links to create the error

I don't know how to switch to SEF urls in the forum, it doesn't show me anything like that in "URL Configuration" but you can see the main page URL is simply https://www.emailtoinmates.com/forum

The errors say line 479 but I don't understand the code, I'd be happy to let you or someone from e107 to look at it from the inside

And you should switch to SEF-URLs for forum, if you can.

@STR82UII what version of e107 are you using? Maybe it was fixed because I tried it with latest version of forum plugin and no issue with legacy urls. It would be nice to have your forum data, can you catch me on gitter? I would like to help you (if I am able) because I run 2 big forums and I want to have something like this fixed. Lately there was some fixes of subforum. But with your data I am able to test it with latest e107 version.

Ad SEF-URL, you should see something like this:

Do you know how to export e107 Data? Database/Tools/Export - and select forum tables and forum prefs.

[STR82UII]

That URL configuration is on/activated as shown in your post. I turned it off to test and get the same error.

The site was recently updated/upgraded to V2.3.2

In "tools/Database", the only option is to backup site data, backup. If you can give me your email address, I can give you admin privileges

[STR82UII]

Here is what I got

[Jimmi08]

You should be part of https://gitter.im/e107inc/e107 it is the quickest way how to get help and a way how to do private chat

deleted email

[STR82UII]

OK, this is from the "Export Site Data"

Sorry for the blank file, this is correct

[STR82UII]

Glitter wants me to use "Matrix" but I'm using windows 10 in S mode so it won't install.

I just created a main admin account for you at https://www.emailtoinmates.com/

[STR82UII]

Did you get the email with your password?

[STR82UII]

Mine is Windows 10 In S Mode, it only allows installing Microsoft Store apps

[Jimmi08]

This doesn't fix your problem but why you was getting legacy urls: Your forums didn't have SEF-URL versions. You didn't know this before displaying this field.

[Jimmi08]

With latest 2.3.3 git it works correctly. You could update forum plugin (only this one) from github version 2.3.3

[STR82UII]

Understood, I'll try to get that....

@STR82UII Does the issue still occur using the latest files from Github?
