upgrading from 3.01 to 3.1

[sbb]

received this error.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: get_regcode() in /xxx/xxx/public_html/reviews/pp-inc.php on line 1695

Make sure to upload your forums subdirectory with your integration file

That function is contained within the integration file.

[sbb]

if you are referring to the config-int that has already had the variables in my original config file entered in. Originally as noted for an upgrade I did not upload the config files and then when it didn't work; I transferred the site's settings to the new config files and still receive the error.

[Chuck S]

No I am talking about the forums subdirectory under reviewpost. That error tells me you do not have all the required files uploaded especially your forum integration file. It this is a standalone that file is called reviewpost.php if this is vb3 then its the vb3.php file

[sbb]

got it - thanks! For some reason when I set the FTP to overwrite it must not have caught that one...

[Arnie]

I get the same error for my IB2 install

PHP Fatal error: Unknown function: get_regcode() in /home/[...]/html/reviewpost/pp-inc.php on line 1695

I've checked the forums files (index.php ppinc ib2 etc) and they are indeed up to date (checked them in an editor remotely). The get_regcode function does exist and the file is up to date. Core files have been uploaded and upgrade has gone as per instructions in the forums.

Addendum: repalcing the new pp-inc.php file with the older revision (3.01) and the page loads. Looks like the current pp-inc.php file has a typo or bug in it somewhere that's preventing the correct forums integration file from loading.

[Chuck S]

This is nothing new to our software here. it has been coded this way for a long while here

The only way you can get this error is the software can not find your integration file as in any of the follow

1. The file does not exist

2. The path to your reviewpost is wrong

3. Your integration type is empty in the database

This is the line in the pp-inc.php

// Now lets include the forum integration
require "{$Globals['RP_PATH']}/forums/{$Globals['vbversion']}.php";

[Arnie]

This is an upgrade from a previously working version, so the path is correct, the file does exist and the integration type is filled in (it's an upgrade on a working version).

Given that the 3.01 version of pp-inc works yet 3.1 doesn't there must be a change somewhere in the pp-inc code that is prohibiting the correct integration forum code from being included. I see the line that's meant to require it, but I'm guessing that either one of the global settings that makes it up is incorrect or null for some reason. I don't know why.

Has anyone got a working version of 3.1 with IB2 anywhere?

[Chuck S]

well you need to check and make sure the old file is being overwritten just like the user above.

The new file does indeed not exist them and you still have an old file there. The only 3 reasons you can get this error is how I posted above.

The ib2.php file in our release indeed has a get_regcode function within it

[Arnie]

I've got the two versions of pp-inc on the server, I've verified that they are indeed the present release, and the older 3.01 release.

Just to highlight this, the older version of pp-inc works just fine (even with the 3.1 codeset), by this I mean it'll display the index page. With the new 3.1 code uploaded, as soon as pp-inc is replaced with the new version it complains that it can't find get_regcode.

I'm pretty certain that for some reason in the 3.1 release of the code I have here it's not reading in the globals properly, and hence not loading the path and the forum integration file anywhere.

Is there a working install of ReviewPost 3.1 and IPB2 anywhere online?

I've just upgraded from 2.8 to 3.1 and am also having this problem:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: get_regcode() in /xxxx/xxxx/public_html/reviews/pp-inc.php on line 1695

Here's my Reviews page:
http://www.photographyblog.com/reviews/

I've tried deleting ib2.php and re-uploading it several times (that's the forum software that I use).

[Chuck S]

I have 3.1 right here

http://www.reeftalk.com/reviews

The pp-inc from 3.1 and 3.01 is virtually identical except the cache code

I was able to upgrade with no issues

will do some testing though

[Mark Goldstein]

I've just tried what Arnie did (upload the 3.01 version of pp-inc.php) and the Reviews page now loads, although the stats seem to be missing.

I'm a bit hesitant to carry on though, as the 3.01 version of pp-inc.php is smaller in size than the 3.1 version (by 8Kb) and I have no idea what is missing from it!

[Mark Goldstein]

The cache code is the reason that I'm upgrading, so I definitely want to use the right version of pp-inc.php now!

[Chuck S]

well where do you get that error running what?

I believe it works for you honest All I mean is that there's no public version of IPB2 and RP 3.1 that I know of anywhere.

As a test I removed the functions preceeding the last require line (some new calendar funcs) in pp-inc and the header starts to be generated, although the index page is not complete.

[Mark Goldstein]

Arnie, here's my current version of RP 3.1 with IPB2.04:

http://www.photographyblog.com/reviews/index.php

When you say that your Index page isn't complete, are you missing Stats, Recent Reviews etc like me?

These all appear OK if you click-through on a product, but are not shown on the Index page.

[Arnie]

Nah, I was playing wih the code in pp-inc to see if removing some of the changes would help my upgraded files work, and managed to get some of the headers and top of the page generated.

If I replace pp-inc.php with the older version (3.01) I have filed away it will display the index page without the stats like you said. Are you sure you overwrote pp-inc.php? I got exactly what you described when using the 3.01 version of pp-inc with the 3.1 install files.

All I get on your page is "The PhotographyBLOG User Reviews are temporarily offline for maintenance.", so I can't see much.

That's more than I got though.

Here's my working install of 3.01:

Here's 3.1 half working with v3.01 of pp-inc.php (all files updated bar pp-inc in this sub-dir):

If you do not upload the proper files of course your not going to get the cache stuff displayed.

Now on to this issue it has nothing to do with your integration unless of course the function is missing from your ib2.php file

Now if I look at the ib2.php file this is there

function get_regcode() {
global $Globals;

$regtext = " · <a href=\"{$Globals['vbulletin']}/index.php?act=Reg&CODE=00\">{$Globals['pp_lang']['register']}</a>";

return($regtext);
}

Now the get_regcode is called in the topmenu function which is called in the scripts like index.php now at the bottom of pp-inc.php is this

// Now lets include the forum integration
require "{$Globals['RP_PATH']}/forums/{$Globals['vbversion']}.php";


So we go back to why your site is not pulling one of the following

1. The RP_PATH
2. The $Globals integration variable
3. The file is missing or function does not exist in that file

Some one needs to give me access to a site. The person who reported this thread indeed found out they had not overwritten there file with the new one.

[Chuck S]

Did you revert your site to old files or are you running the current
