conditional bug ?

2010-03-12T21:52:37-06:00

I’m using 1.6.8 (fresh as a loaf of bread)

I coded a series of conditionals for a blog field in this format:


{if f9}

After seven of these in series I got a parse error, and then used this code to solve it:


{if "{f9}"}

Is this a bug?

Extension Errors after Build Update

2010-01-27T19:03:56-06:00

I upgraded from a July ‘09 build to the latest (Build: 20100121) and am now receiving a bunch of errors regarding extensions. I had to manually go into config and disable extensions to get to the control panel, but I’d really like to have my extensions back.

Thanks in advance.

pMachine -> EE 1.6.8 forum subscription email overload

2010-03-10T09:26:01-06:00

Don’t know if there is any chance of this bug being addressed when we are talking about 2 and 3 generations out of date but here’s a quick report. Can give more details if you think it is actually something you’d fix.

We recently imported a site from pMachine 2.3 to EE 1.6.8

The imported site had a fairly active forum for 5 years.

We had reports from users that they were getting dozens of emails when they posted in an imported thread to which they were subscribed and had previously posted.

It appears that they got one email for each post they they had submitted to the thread prior to import, rather than the one email total that was expected.

The trouble is seems that for the imported comments exp_forum_subscriptions.notification_sent had a uniform value of ‘n’.

We did an update to set the value to ‘y’ for all records and we were good. But 100’s, maybe 1000’s of emails were inadvertently sent due to this bug. This is a good way to get flagged for abuse. :-(

Seems like this would be a simple fix in the pMachine import code. Won’t help us but might help the next fella.

Forums Error: Not Authorized AFTER Logging In Succesfully

2010-02-11T15:04:51-06:00

Background
I have a forum board with a number of forums, all private requiring login.

I have a blog with an entry that links to a forum entry. The forum link was set up in the cp at the same time that the blog entry was made.

The blog entry template has a standard link to the topic id

{if forum_topic}<a class="posted" href="{path='forumname/viewthread'}{forum_topic_id}">Discuss <h3>{title}</h3> in our forums</a>{/if} 

When a logged-out user clicks the link, they get the forum login page.

After filling in the form correctly, they first get the “You are logged in” page.

The Issue
Shortly thereafter, the fun begins - they are now redirected to an error page saying

“The following errors were encountered
You are not authorized to perform this action”

However, the menu shows that they are logged-in. If they go back to the blog page and re-click the forum entry link, they are now taken to the correct thread.

By the way, this happens to superadmins too.

I have no idea when this started because I have not used the forum links from blogs in this way before.

Builds
EE 1.6.8 (20100121)
Forum 2.1.2 (20100121)

Search Hilite 1.2.1 plugin highlighting the keywords from the previous EE search

2010-02-08T04:47:07-06:00

The subject says it all… when I place the highlight code into the search results page, like so….

{exp:search:search_results}
{exp:search_hilite}
{excerpt}
...
{/exp:search_hilite}
{/exp:search:search_results} 

...and then perform a search, the words that get highlighted are the ones from the previous search: if I search for “modern”, and then search for “elephants”, the plugin highlights all occurrences of of the word “modern” in the search results page for “elephants”. The next search would have “elephants” highlighted wherever it appeared.

Help?? :p

EDIT: Sorry: EE 1.6.7 build 20090320

Documentation: Broken link to BBCode reference

I’d leave a note there but I’m not yet a “Lab Assistant”.

The BBCode Reference link is broken, FYI.

HTML in Email Notification Templates?

2010-02-23T13:49:34-06:00

My apologies if already covered somewhere, but I haven’t been able to find the answer to this question. Is there a way to send HTML email messages by modifying the Email Notification Templates?

For example, I tried simply adding the HTML mime type and necessary markup to the Forgotten Password Instructions template, but the message still comes thru as plain text. Any help is appreciated.

Comment Notification Pre-requisites

2010-03-02T16:50:48-06:00

I was enabling commenting today and for the longest time I just couldn’t get it working. So I decided to flip all the switches to see if I could knock something loose.

In CP Home › Admin › Weblog Administration › Weblog Management › Edit Weblog Preferences » Notification Preferences I had to set all the radio buttons to yes. I would have guessed just the bottom one labeled ‘Notify the author of an entry whenever a comment or trackback is submitted?’ should be the only one I would have to check in order to get comment notifications to start working on the site. But I had to flip them all. Also, there are no e-mail addresses in any of the blank boxes there.

I did some in-depth digging and couldn’t find anything regarding this issue. Maybe I’m going crazy…maybe not. I decided to post this problem and subsequent fix here anyway.

Cannot use preload_replace inside a conditional?

2010-03-05T10:40:25-06:00

I am trying to create a sort of “default variable” behavior in an embedded template. The following code will work if the “style” variable HAS been passed to the template in the embed tag, but it will NOT set the variable to “linear” if the variable has not been passed. However, it WILL print the “test” text from the if:else. Very confusing, can anyone tell me why this doesn’t work?

{if embed:style}{preload_replace:style="{embed:style}"}
{if:else}<p>test</p>{preload_replace:style="linear"}
{/if} 

EE 2.0.1 build 20100215 error when setting site index template

2010-03-02T16:52:25-06:00

This bug is related to this forum post: http://expressionengine.com/forums/viewthread/146123/#719888

When changing the default site index template it throws three php errors:

A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Notice
Message: Undefined index: site_id
Filename: models/template_model.php
Line Number: 120

A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Warning
Message: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /system/core/Exceptions.php:166)
Filename: libraries/Functions.php
Line Number: 710

Upon returning to the Template Manager, multiple template groups are signified as being the default. See screenshot. You should of course, only be allowed to selected to default template group. It still functions and you can manually change the default template group by only deselected and only having one template group selected as the default.
