i put some code in lib common for the random picture block and it was working fine thean they told me that i should put the code to lib custom file and i did it

then i saw that the right blocks are too wide and i removed the code from lib custom file and the geeklog is not showing up anymore

now i am overwriting all the files with file backupa 14 days old though

i only recently updated database backup.

What do you suggest, should I upload the database backup also??
or just the file backup?

I do not know why my site went down. Should i update also the database backup from 14 days or from today??

COM_numberFormat is a new function in Geeklog 1.4.0. Which Geeklog version are you on?

If you were on 1.4.0 before that happened, there's no need for any database changes.

As the error message states: It can't find that file. Make sure it's there and/or that the path is correct.

Btw, you're making life too hard for yourself. You said you changed something in lib-custom.php and your site didn't work any more. Fine, then simply revert that change (always keep backups of files you're changing!) and the site should work again. No need to restore everything from a backup ...

I know I went thru so much hassle because I downloaded the file backup from my hsost but it was really old even though I downloaded it 2 weeks ago.

Obviously the host has problems so i reinstalled the geeklog 1,4 release 2 and it wokrs fine now

damn host

thank you Dirk
