Geeklog Forums

When on my website you get the following errors at the top of the page:



What is this referring to, and what can I do to get rid of it ?

Thanks in advance.

Have you applied this fix yet?

bye, Dirk

Yes Sir

Hmm, not sure if that's a bug in Geeklog or in one of the plugins you have installed ...

Geeklog is calling a plugin function called plugin_getmenuitems_plugin for every plugin. This function is supposed to return an array, but it seems one of your plugins is returning something else instead.

Line 199 in your lib-plugins.php (as per the error message you're getting) is this:
Change that to readand see if that helps.

Which plugins do you have installed?

bye, Dirk

Why thank you Dirk, like always you come through .

Your fix worked perfectly.

bye, Kelly

I'm getting this same error just after my ISP updated MySQL to version 5.0. I've tried the fix mentioned here, but it breaks something even more. I get this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/sites/www.site.com/gl139config/system/lib-plugins.php on line 200

Any thoughts what's breaking in the MySQL update? The only plugins I have are static pages and SpamX. This is GL 1.3.9.

And please don't tell me to upgrade if the version of GL is not a problem; the upgrade poses too many problems for me...

Follow-up.

I tried again changing the code you mentioned, and now I don't get the error. But my plug-ins don't work any more. When I access SpamX from the admin page, I see its options, but clicking on them does nothing. And I have no way to access the Static Pages config any more...

Also, SpamX shows twice in the admin dashboard.

Are those problems bigger than the ones you may get by running a version that has known security issues? Your decision ...

PHP and MySQL are moving targets - sometimes, we have to adapt Geeklog to work with their latest versions. And at some point, we just have to stop supporting old versions (1.39 is over 4 years old, for example) and ask you to upgrade instead.

Sorry.

The upgrades break my theme. While four years ago I was able to spend the time adapting a theme, I simply don't have the time today to figure out what I need to do to make it compatible with the latest version. Is there any documentation that can tell me what differences there are?

Yes.

However, the changes since 1.3.9 were so many that I'd rather start over fresh from the Professional or another 1.5.0-compatible theme. That would give you the added bonus of a HTML 4.01 Strict compatible theme, based mostly on CSS instead of tables.

That's one of the reasons we stuck with Professional for 1.5.0 - we think it's relatively easy to derive your own theme from it now.
