When I open menubar.tmpl it's empty.(FIXED)

Jeremy · November 19th, 2005, 01:48 AM

I'm using Mozilla firefox & new to PP Classifieds.

When I try to open medubar.tmpl through the GUI, with menubar.tmpl approximately in the middle of the page when I select it....

as soon as I click "Edit Template" it scrolls the selected menubar.tmpl to the bottom of the visible selection box & opens up an empty template window.

Also, have you guys considered adding something like:

"You are editing the template: $templatename " on the editor window?

I could see how problems could arise from not having the template name there.

So I unzipped again in a temp dir & uploaded (via the gui) a new menubar.tmpl...

no dice.

It just saves an 2 byte file.

This was the first template I edited as a test....

hmm l'll try again with another template and see if it gets deleted as well:

open onlinepal.tmpl ..... opens fine
click "Update onlinepal.tmpl" .... says it saved
click "edit templates"
open onlinepal.tmpl again..... GONE!

Grr.

So whats the problem here?

Okay in adm-misc.php try adding or changing the code in bold around line 2611 and then make the lines noted below as I have them posted

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

then around line 2634

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

then at line 2655

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

then at line 2678

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

then line 2700 should be this

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Is that a typo? If not, then config-intr.php does not exist.

I really appreciate the fast reponses and support found on Photopost, but this bug brings about some questions. I'm running a the most recent version, with VB3.5.1 integration - a combo that is not only supported, but (VB integration anyway) used by alot of the PhotoPost users...

Why is this occurring on my install?
Nothing is really out of the ordinary here afaik.

Will this base code be changed to match the fixes above in future releases?

Chuck S · November 19th, 2005, 12:21 PM

require"config-int.php";

yep it is a bug not selecting the proper template to save so this should fix it and be included in future releases

Warning: fopen(/usr/home/domain/WWW/classifieds/templates/vb3enhanced//menubar.tmpl): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /usr/home/domain/WWW/classifieds/adm-misc.php on line 2693

Unable to write changes, permissions on menubar.tmpl are not set properly.

Permissions on the folder and all files inside are 777.

They are owned by a system user/group, but the WWW user shouldn't have a problem doing anything in that directory to any of the files.

As a test, I changed ownership of the folder & file to www:admin, and I'm still having the same no permissions error.

oh... I see the problem.

Looks like there is another typo in your fix somewhere:

note:

...templates/vb3enchanced//menubar.tmpl

Jeremy · November 19th, 2005, 12:28 PM

(before fixes were applied) there also seemed to be something that caused my classifieds admin style settings to go blank/white (everything else uses the integrated VB3.5.1 style settings). It was set on default, changing it to something else seems to bring it back, but default is blank still.

Ah I see. I had opened up default.css once in the stylesheet editor.

This is a related bug since the classifieds stylesheet editor uses the same file-blanking routine. Will this require a patch too?

Jeremy · November 19th, 2005, 12:37 PM

Ugh. There might be other problems here as well.

Directory structure looks like this:

/usr/home/domain/WWW/classifieds/templates/
... a set of templates is under here.
THIS directory is where the menubar.tmpl was being blanked.

/usr/home/domain/WWW/classifieds/templates/vb3enhanced
... a set of templates is under here as well, and I am using VB3.5.1, so I assume that this is the set of templates that it should be pulling from?

The permissions on this directory and files are not set to allow writing.

Chuck S · November 19th, 2005, 12:39 PM

I dont see anywhere in the coding I have given you that the code posted would cause an extra slash

Yes permissions need to be 666 on the files you want to write to

In fact I tested this on my install and it works flawlessly

I can not post code here but if you email me with your license number and a return email address I can send you the modified file to make sure its installed correctly and that should take care of the issue.

You can't attach files here?

I'll email you now.

Chuck S · November 19th, 2005, 12:48 PM

No I can not publically post files only suggested changes

Jeremy · November 19th, 2005, 12:56 PM

Ah. I would have thought you guys had something set up like Vbulletin.com or Vbulletin.org where certain groups [members with valid support contracts] are able to download attachments.

Being able to attach files in support situations like this would be a big time saver (for you, and us) I would think.

The "members area" forums do not appear to be open to the public...

So you just have an adccount level account that can't upload attachments?

For some reason I was under the impression that you were the main owner/coder

Chuck S · November 19th, 2005, 01:03 PM

I can attach files if I want but our company policy is not too

In fact it leads to too many support issues as people try to download attachements for different versions etc etc. causes too many headaches

Jeremy · November 19th, 2005, 01:12 PM

Did this application update in the past few days?

You have other changes in here that aren't in mine.

/me checks...

Download PhotoPost Classifieds Pro, v2.42 (9/29/05 2:17 PM Build)

I guess not.

Anyway here is the other change you have that I don't:

1580c1580
< $comment = convert_markups($comment);
---
> $comment = un_htmlspecialchars(convert_returns(convert_markups($comment)));

Jeremy · November 19th, 2005, 01:15 PM

Nevermind. I think I got it...

Chuck S · November 19th, 2005, 01:18 PM

You have a path set incorrectly somewhere I can only assume here. Check to see your PP_PATH in config is set to this

/usr/home/domain/WWW/classifieds

Nothing in the code I have sent applies an extra slash on the end of that file path

I would suggest you download the current build upload the files and then upload my adm-misc.php file

Is this the current build?

Download PhotoPost Classifieds Pro, v2.42 (9/29/05 2:17 PM Build)

If so, I made my purchase a few days ago, so I assume that is what I am running.

Anyway the permissions problem was just due to the permissions on that /templates/vb3enhanced directory & files being incorrect.

Everything seems to work now.... double slash or not. Strange.

PP_PATH is correct. No trailing slash there.

Chuck S · November 19th, 2005, 01:32 PM

It should be yes I can only assume it is a path issue somewhere you have set no where do we set an extra slash anywhere. You can see the issue by looking at your error. You have an extra slash

You can email me ftp and admin login and I can see if I find anything

Jeremy · November 19th, 2005, 01:33 PM

So here's a question...

since I am using VB3 integration, can I just DELETE all of the templates in the root of /home/domains/WWW/classifieds/templates ?

Jeremy · November 19th, 2005, 01:35 PM

Also as I said before... the same problem exists for the stylehseet editor.

I just tried to make a modification and blanked my default stylesheet, so apparently there needs to be a fix/patch for that as well.
