I just installed 1.4.0sr5-1. The documentation was very clean and I had the site up in no time.

I ran across an issue though when trying to turn off any of the blocks on the side.

When turning off the block the following message appears on the site, without any geeklog formatting.

Text Formatted Code
An SQL error has occurred. Please see error.log for details.
 


The following was in the error.log file
Text Formatted Code
Unknown column '7blkChange' in 'where clause'. SQL in question: SELECT is_enabled FROM gl_blocks WHERE bid=7blkChange=7
 


Any ideas on what's wrong?


Thanks,
Chris

That's very odd indeed - never seen that one before.

So I have to guess: A corrupted file, maybe? Try uploading admin/block.php again.

My webserver is in my basement, so I normally just copy any install files directly to it (the original download file) and extract them there.

I did extract the download to a different directory and copied over the /admin/block.php as you requested to try and I still get the same error.

In testing further, I am able to move the blocks up and down on the block menu.

Could this be a rights issue or possible a PHP or MySQL issue?

PHP is 4.2.2
MySQL is 3.23.54 (thought 3.23.2 was needed)

Thanks,
Chris

It doesn't have anything to do with permissions. "blkChange" is actually the name of that checkbox and neither that nor those "7"s should be showing up in the SQL.

As I said, I've never seen this before, so I'm a bit baffled ...

You should still be able to enable/disable blocks from the block editor (there's another checkbox in there).

This might help then, the 7 doesn't show for each block I'm trying to turn off. It changes depending upon the block. I have 3blkchange, or 6blkchange or 11blkchange ...

Those are the block IDs.

Can you check the HTML source code of that page? For each checkbox, it should contain something like
Text Formatted Code
<input type="checkbox" name="blkenable" onclick="submit()" value="17" checked="checked"><input type="hidden" name="blkChange" value="17">
 

i.e. a checkbox, followed by a hidden field named blkChange. Something there is probably messed up.

Mine pretty much looks the same.

Text Formatted Code

<input type="checkbox" name="blkenable" onclick="submit()" value="8" checked="checked"><input type="hidden" name="blkChange" value="8">

 


Could it have to do with my version of MySQL?
