News page blank with latest git download

dimante commented 10 years ago

Just thought I would mention with todays update from git my news page is blank......

Moc commented 10 years ago

Is that your frontpage by any chance? If yes, try setting your frontpage to something else. Then browse to the news page. Is the news working now?

If you can answer yes to my questions, then I think I've narrowed the bug down.

@CaMer0n I think this commit breaks functionality https://github.com/e107inc/e107/commit/d3940eafd9c0b9c76571258f9a412d8c89bfb485. The page that is set as frontpage will not render properly. No fatal errors, just looks like a bug in parsing the templates. The source code shows all the html tags properly, there is just no content in the <body> tags on the page whatever the frontpage is set to. Any other page just works fine.

dimante commented 10 years ago

Let me give that a try and I will confirm.

None of the choices work.. When set to news, blank. When set to welcome message, blank. when set to forum I get an error even though the forum is working correctly... My original url is "http://www.dimante.net/news.php" as a custom URL. That rendered my news page with no problems prior to the git pull... I can leave it like this if you have some other ideas to try... To me if I set the "News" radio button it should show news.php it appears this is not happening.

Oh wait, not sure if your issue is related. It's not a blank page on your website, the navigation bar still shows. There's a fatal error somewhere that stops the rest of the page from loading.

Try enabling the developer mode and change the url to /news.php?[debug=basic+]

dimante commented 10 years ago

All I do to correct it is put the previous git release on and the page shows..... SO it's something that was introduced later in your development.

It would then help to tell us which commit is causing the error.

dimante commented 10 years ago

Have no idea. So I turned debugging on with the previous build and it render this Bad request - destination unreachable - /news.php but the page renders so that is clear as mud. When I put the latest git in here is the result:

Bad request - destination unreachable - /news.php but this time the page does not render... So odd that the same error is returned but shows up in the old.

Using the latest version from Github, try replacing the e107_core/templates/header_default.php file with the following: https://raw.github.com/e107inc/e107/0df0f49cc01f37971075d3fbc51cdf8231a30042/e107_core/templates/header_default.php Then check and see if the issue is resolved.

Compare your current base code to this news.php it is the difference between what this file has and what was changed in the current that cause the problem for me. The attached news.php works on my site and I can see my page.

It also seems the site has become more complicated than it needs to be. There is a difference between what loads at the base url... I want the site to just load news.php as the base page that loads... That's what happened in the old version I am just confused as to what the base url is loading vs news.php with the base url the news items load but no menus to the right... Just confusing to me and I really want to understand how it works...

This sounds like the same issue as what started off my issue, #525 which I subsequently "killed" due to my trying to reinstall e107. My current news-page, after a fresh-install, doesn't look like how it should though. No other people are suffering from these issues?

dimante commented 10 years ago

Here is what the landing page displays: [image: Inline image 1]

Here is what I think it should display (And does display when I click home): [image: Inline image 2]

I don't understand this new layout. I want the landing page to be news.php with the right hand menus.... Is this something I am setting up wrong? Just not sure.

Not a solution to this problem but rather an update. It turns out that the error I was talking about is caused by a theme that I am developing. I therefore think that the issue you guys are having is unrelated to mine.

dimante commented 10 years ago

So... I just pulled the latest git (today 5/15/2014) it still caused my news.php file to render blank unless I replaced it with my old one.

Jimmi08 commented 10 years ago

I can't help, but I think that you had to change something else. I tried this (put news.php as my frontpage), no problem. In clean install there is welcome message and then news. I deleted WM, but it still works.

Do you use bootstrap3 theme, don't you? What layout do you have for frontpage? Jumbotron home?

dimante commented 10 years ago

Jumbotron sidebar right.

If you want to use set front-page preferencies, you need to set FRONTPAGE to some of your layout (in theme manager as visibility filter) or use only default. But what do you use as default layout then? Tested all combination that occured me, everything works. Don't you change something in theme.php?

So do this:

set FRONTPAGE back to jumbotron home and check black page
if there is blank page, change content of your news - use only text Could you check content of your news (my way: to add button html source in tinymce - in mainadmin.xml in tinymce plugin)

dimante commented 10 years ago

// Set the Values for the social shortcode usage. $socialArray = array('url'=>e107::getUrl()->create('news/view/item', $news, 'full=1'), 'title'=>$tp->toText($news['news_title'])); e107::getScBatch('social')->setVars($socialArray);

This is the only difference in git news.php and my news.php when this code is not present everything works fine... Ideas?

That's indeed an error that would cause the blank page. Let's see if I can figure this out.

dimante commented 10 years ago

I get this with firefox and the e107 debugger plugin...

Couldn't Load: e107_core/shortcodes/batch/social_shortcodes.php with class-name: social_shortcodes and pluginName

dimante commented 10 years ago

And I just looked on GIT and this file does not exist there either... So this is certainly a problem :-(

Moc commented 10 years ago

@CaMer0n Can you take a look here?

dimante commented 10 years ago

Is that file supposed to exist?

CaMer0n commented 10 years ago

Try this debug: news.php?[debug=bbsc+] Search for 'social' in the debug info at the bottom. The correct info is: Array ( [type] => class [path] => e107_plugins/social/e_shortcode.php [class] => social_shortcodes ) Can you find this info? Have any changes been made to the bootstrap3 theme? Try doing a plugin scan (admin->database) and retesting as above.

dimante commented 10 years ago

I believe this one is resolved

Array ( [type] => class [path] => e107_plugins/social/e_shortcode.php [class] => social_shortcodes ) And this path does exist. So the problem no longer exists.

Moc commented 10 years ago

@dimante So this started working again after a plugin scan? Please elaborate a bit on how you fixed it.

dimante commented 10 years ago

Apparently it got fixed with one of the git updates. The original post shows the path it was looking for in regard to the shortcodes and it did not exist....

So the social plugin folder was not uploaded on your installation yet right? And after uploading it, the error was fixed?

If this is the case, please completely reupload a fresh zip from Github and overwrite all the current files. Issue #590 seems to be caused by corrupted/incorrectly uploaded or missing files.

dimante commented 10 years ago

No at first the error I got was looking for this:

Couldn't Load: e107_core/shortcodes/batch/social_shortcodes.php with class-name: social_shortcodes and pluginName

well that path does not exist.

Is there something I can do to insure that no old e107 files exist out there? Let me try flushing the install folder and only placing files from the github download.. Give me about 20 mins...

Unfortunately the possibilities of having such check on shared-hosting platforms is pretty much not achievable (technically). Ideally you would simply clone the e107 repository over and you can simply issue a git pull to make sure all the files are up to date.

brhahlen commented 10 years ago

Latest git version and fresh install for me fixed this. Haven't done a "full" git clone, but just an update of a current git version.

Moc commented 10 years ago

Alright, seems this was a social plugin issue. We should be good now. Please re-open if necessary.
