Hi,

I have a fresh install of version 1.6 and 2.0 for forums.

Problem with the forum… forums/members/profile is blank, not showing up. 

Anyone have an idea of what could be wrong here?

Version 2.0 Forum build 20070626

Thanks.

Hi,

Been looking around and find that I can access the control panel from admin cp and from wiki but not the forums.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

It sounds like something isn’t set up correctly. I’m in the process of setting up the new forum module on one of my test sites right now.

Are you using the MSM? (Multiple Site Manager)

Do you have a link we can see?

Hello Sue,

Thanks for your reply.

I must admit that I have only been working with the forum module for a few hours and as a result, there is not much to see.

I do, however, intend to use the MSM with this installation and will make an attempt at that over the weekend.

On my forum problem, I have noticed that the link to forums/member/profile/ on my site is showing the full url in the title bar, when other links show “non-urls” i.e. Post Reply | ExpressionEngine Community Forums, which is what shows in the title bar above this post I am now writing. 

On the other hand, since my title bar shows http://www.mysite/index.php/forums/member/profile - it at least seems to suggest that forums/member/profile does exist on the server but I can’t seem to locate it. 

Do you know which file is used for the forum’s profile page? 

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi,

Looking around the forum module, inside the Control Panel under Modules > Discussion Forum > Templates, I see that when I click the templates tab and then click on the template folders, they also come up as blank pages.

The forum templates are showing up when I view the forums but I can not see the templates inside the forum module.

Any Ideas on what I can do to fix this forum?

Thanks.

The themes are handled in themes/forum_themes/- each theme having a number of files under the theme folder.  Are all of those uploaded ok?  Might try replacing the full forum_themes folder in case it’s a matter of file corruption.  If that doesn’t do it- I’d say our next step would be to force an error message and figure out why you theme edit interface is showing a white screen.

Thanks Robin,

Will give that a try.

Hi,

I have replaced the themes folder and still no difference in accessing the user control panel from the forum.  I have debugging turned on but nothing shows when I click forum link to the user cp.  Page is blank.

There is no code showing in Modules > Discussion Forum > Templates folders but still able to select different templates inside the forum.

Thanks.

Hm- ok, ftp in, grab system/index.php- note, that’s the index.php INSIDE the system folder.  Let’s see if we can force a php error- open it up and edit:

error_reporting(0);

change to:

//error_reporting(0);
ini_set('display_errors', 1); 
error_reporting(E_ALL);

So- we comment out the error suppression and try to force things to show.  Let’s see what that does.

Hi Robin,

Went in and made changes to the index.php file.  No change and no errors showing up.

W.

btw index.php now looks like this:

//error_reporting(0);
ini_set('display_errors', 1); 
error_reporting(E_ALL);

$pathinfo = pathinfo(__FILE__);
$ext = '.'.$pathinfo['extension'];

require './core/core.system'.$ext;

It’s possible they’re suppressed by the server and we can’t override them.  I can’t figure why there would be a blank screen with no error messages at all.  Even if it can’t find/open the themes, should give us some sort of message.

I’m running out of ideas- may have to call the crew in on this one.  Hm- you have no trouble with the regular member templates- correct?  If you go to ‘Admin- Members and Groups’ and go to edit the member profile templates, they show up ok?

Hi,

Re: Member Profile Templates ›  Default

I do see all the member templates here.  The only problem with accessing the member profile page happens in the forum when the path is set to: forums/member/profile/.

There doesn’t seem to be a problem with it showing up from the wiki, where the path to the control panel looks like this:  /member/profile/. 

When accessing from the forum, should the path to member profile be /forums/member/profile, or not?

Thanks.

W.

Generally it would be forums/member/44 - where 44 is the member id number.  You can mouseover the link on your name on this forum and get a feel for it.  But that wouldn’t explain a failure to spot the files in the backend.

Right.

Hi,

Still having problems with my forum.

Can anyone point me to info on how to do a re-install of EE6.0 and Forum2.0, without destroying any of the work I’ve done so far?  i.e. the wiki…

Thanks.
