problem with what's going on box, gallery homepage

sross · February 1st, 2011, 07:46 PM

Hi, my wgo box is fine except for 1 broken image. When i copy the url of this dead image I get this:

debug:gallery_url/images/gallery_stats.png

I am not sure where the glitch is, all icons and images elsewhere display fine. What template is the wgo box for the gallery homepage? I can have a look there and hardcode it if I need to.

Thanks!

Well yes, you could hardcode it, but thats not the point..
the debug code was added, to be able to trace errors.
having this error meens something is wrong.. so it would be good to find what it is.

Details of what is happening:

at the moment of fetching datastore, as it is impossible to pass on the gallery url to vbulletin.. we set a dummy gallery url = debug:gallery_url

afterwards, in several plugins where it is needed, the gallery url is replaced by the real one.
getting this error meens, that one of the plugins is NOT executed. (it would be interesting to know why?????

OR you are running a different file version than the one of your templates

Is your site still the same than the one you sent me a couple of months ago?

In that case... I do NOT have the problem with the wgo box.. the image is there when user is not registered..
BUT I am missing the forum_url when I am trying to register.
result: the css of the page is missing...

So what I would do in first place:
Make sure you are running 3.01
that you have installed the latest product file
(it happened to me once, when upgrading, I forgot to overwrite the product xml file in the admincp directory. result: I had the new files but the installer installed the old product, giving me loads of errors)
So even if you are running the newest files,
overwrite ALL the files again (including all the gallery related files in the forum directories), AND reinstall the product xml you have in the admincp directory (take the one in the downloaded package) and install it through vbulletin acp->products and plugins -> manage products
ADD product
with overwrite:yes!

PS: the template btw is ADV_GALLERY

Just ran some tests, the gallery_url is replaced in plugin:
Navbar Integration - process_templates_complete
this is what the plugin looks like in 3.01:
make sure it is active and code is the same as this:
(if not make sure you have the newest xml file)

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Thanks Luc! Well this is a new site in dev, it was previously running 2.5 i think and it seemed the upgrade went through ok. I notice all the new settings and the product is listed as 3.0.1, do you think I should still re-install it? I guess i should export settings to be safe.

sross · February 1st, 2011, 11:08 PM

just saw your new post, having a look

sross · February 1st, 2011, 11:45 PM

ha, you helped me figure it out. I had the gallery tab plugin temporarily disabled and that was causing the glitch. I did notice one other issue, when the gallery is set to "closed" logged out users have no css, but if i am logged in it is fine. This is only when it is in a closed state. Thanks!

You can.. but if you reinstall NOT using the installer (but just the product file), it will not overwrite any settings, as the setting table is not touched.

Confirmed!
I will look into that..
and fix it in next release.
But waiting for vb 4.12 and see if we can easely adapt the future mobile style.

so it will take a couple of weeks.

Actually the fix is very easy so i will post it here..

open gallery/gallery_global.php

find:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

in your editor, mark this block, copy and remove it (cut).
Insert it in a lower place, just above these lines (paste):

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

PS: this fixes the css issue for non admin users, AND the same css issue when user has no permission to access the page.

Luciano · February 2nd, 2011, 01:51 AM

didn't seem to help either sorry

Luciano · February 2nd, 2011, 12:24 PM

Are we talking, switch off gallery in ACP (with the message gallery is off for the moment) ?
or are we talking switch off the product in products and plugins?
second with no css is normal.. the edit fixes first.
Edit - very strange

it works on my install, mind if i take a look at your install?

This is when gallery is turned off in ACP. It is likely a problem with my site then as I have a lot of mods, custom coding and vbSEO.

Luciano · February 2nd, 2011, 04:58 PM

well, test if all other products are off... it works then.. turn them on one by one..
when it stops working.. thats the mod that is faulty.. it would be interesting to know which one it is..
