Irrelevant Search results - Page 3

None of your variables are being declared on the site.

You cant enter a title description price nothing.

You might want to contact your host and see if anything has changed definately strange indeed.

This does not appear to be directly code related something on the server is negating input values it seems which would explain why you are the only one affected here.

This is a dedicated server that I own, nothing has changed... Okay so if I delete everything in the classifieds except the config files and reupload all the 4.1 files will that theoreticaly work?

I get very frustrated when everything was working before this upgrade and now you tell me that it looks like a server issue... A typical respose from a developer.... It great news that your personal site is working flawlessly but since you changed the files to fix the search you post any new ads, do you find that maybe a little coincidental at all? Troubleshooting 101, what has changed? The very day that the code is changed to make the search work other features in the same application now can't enter new ads....

So Chuck, what are my options... How can I keep my data and reinstall from scratch and not an upgrade?

You can say typical developer response but I can only post what I am seeing. None of your variables are being declared and the script declares them fine so its when the results are sent that the variables get negated. Its not one or two its every last variable as I said.

The next step I would say is to install a test new install in another directory and see if that works. Track down and see that its not something in that directory maybe htaccess?

Its a process of trying to understand why the server is not allowing us to grab the variables. I am not a server tech. I am a software guy.

I did a new install in a directory called ads on your server. Go check it out it works fine so its something with the permissions files in that one install.

You can try deleting everything except the data directory and the 2 config files and reuploading all clean files sure since we know the issue is with that install directly

Chuck I removed everything except the two config files and the data, reuploaded and get the exact same thing...

SO

I copied the data and the config files over to the new ads dir that you created... I changed everything in the config file but I am still getting redirected back to the old classifieds dir when I try to enter an item, I have restarted SQL and apache to get rid of any other caching issues.. Is there anywhere else that data is stored that would need to be changed?

Chuck S · September 26th, 2010, 08:56 AM

Check out the classifieds directory not ads and tell me if its working now

Chuck I think I almost have this thing working... For some reason the thumbs are not being created, can you take a look and tell me.. You should still have SSH access

Chuck S · September 28th, 2010, 06:46 PM

You created a directory probally when safe mode was on on the server and your thumbs and large directories did not exist you should be fine now.

Chuck it looks like I am 99% there, the search on the bottom navbar works fine now, the advanced search works but the search in the top navbar still gives 35 pages of results.

I ended up deleting everything except the data dir, cleared apache cache, cleared Zend cache and reuploaded everything again. I know my files are being overwritten because I have a modification to a template and every time I go to upload the content of the classifieds41 dir I have to edit that file again.

Also what got this whole upgrade going was the ability to get the phrases set so I can see the cron job settings for the sendnotice.php

Where do I find that?

I know you are busy, I know you have to be tired of this issue... I may not be a developer but I absolutely can upload files. The classifieds is the only think I have ever had issues with. I installed the reviews section in about 10 minutes a couple of weeks ago... Im not sure what is happenning but I am open to ideas...

Try in your pp-inc.php the search dropdown code should be there

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

captain-busa · October 5th, 2010, 04:54 PM

Chuck I searched the pp-inc.php file for the lines above and they are not in the file. Now what?

Chuck S · October 5th, 2010, 06:17 PM

They are most definitely there in the function topmenu do a search for topmenu or dropdown

captain-busa · October 6th, 2010, 11:52 AM

Okay I found it, now what?

captain-busa · October 6th, 2010, 11:58 AM

Okay chuck I changed that code out, I think that has it..

Chuck S · October 6th, 2010, 12:32 PM

enjoy

captain-busa · October 6th, 2010, 02:54 PM

So, now that it appears we have the correct files, where to I find or how do I set up the cron to run the sendnotice.php...

Chuck S · October 6th, 2010, 03:03 PM

There is a tutorial in the classifieds install forum on how to setup the cron task sendnotice however in the classifieds you also have the option instead of doing the server cron using the footer cron task that is setup in admin options.
