Geeklog Forums

It just refreshes I click on install

I believe I did everything right...


it's been a while since I used geeklog

might be getting old

Which forum version did you try to install?

Older versions required register_globals to be "on", and that's what happened when it wasn't. The current version is 2.7.1 and no longer relies on register_globals.

bye, Dirk

the newest one
with the newest geeklog

this also happens when trying to install the chatterblock

maybe im doing something wrong?

Would love some help. Would really love to have geeklog

I have my own vps, if there's anything I have to do

Maybe I am wrong and the Forum does require register_globals to be on? Can you try that?

bye, Dirk

my whole website goes down when I turn them on



did it trough .htacess

nope

this sucks

Don't want to switch from geeklog

anyone willing to help me?
I will give all my login info etc

I'm pretty sure that register_globals do not have to be on for the forum. Have you installed other plugins that are not from portalparts and have they worked?

I have a feeling you probably forgot to move the lib-portalparts.php file to the system directory...

Check that.

I did everything correct I believe. I checked 100x

I also tried to install the chatterblock and I get the same install refresh

it just refreshes the install page

Have you installed any other plugins besides chatterblock (which is from protalparts)?

Turning off registered globabls shouldn't take down the site, it may look a server config issue.

I turned on globals and it installed

Only problem now is that my whole geeklog website is now blank

what could this be? how do I fix?

everything is blank btw

can't even acesss admin panel

See the FAQ: Blank page

Btw, this really doesn't sound like you're using the latest versions of either Geeklog or the forum ...

bye, Dirk

Im using geeklog-1.5.1
and Geeklog Forum v2.7.1

these the latest? this is the error I get



Fatal error: Call to undefined function ppGetUserBlocks() in /var/www/vhosts/goalmex.com/httpdocs/geeklog/plugins/forum/config.php on line 123

Yes, those are the latest versions. I'm just surprised that the forum seems to require register_globals and that you get a blank page in Geeklog when an error occurs (instead of Unfortunately, an error has occurred rendering this page. Please try again).

The problem in your case seems to be that you forgot to copy the lib-portalparts.php that ships with the forum into your system directory.

bye, Dirk

It's in the /system

I'm still getting that error and blank

Here's how you can disable a plugin. That should at least get your site back up.

Not sure why it's causing you such odd problems, though.

bye, Dirk

I removed
$CONF_FORUM['leftblocks'] = ppGetUserBlocks($CONF_FORUM['leftblocks']);
fron the plugins config.php file

and eveverything works now
I'm able to acess site, create forums and post in them. Everything is functional


Is it okay to run forum this way?

and why does this fix the issue?

anyone?

just want to feel safe to start my website
