Updates from today

Hi all,

To save you reading a host of threads I'll recap what's gone on today.


The issues regarding reCaptcha... sorted. We're not using reCaptcha anymore but there is still a captcha present
The issue that was reported with the site being down (and serving blank pages) was a result of some kind of issue in the database. A whole host of templates were deleted from the system database. The strange thing about this is they appear to be missing from the data from when the site was ported from GoDaddy to my server. I suspect this was caused by a troublesome upgrade at one point because I can't explain how it happened and I don't even know when. But as you will see, the site appears to be back on top form
Updates have been installed for vBulletin, which unfortunately broke the chat service
A new chat service has been installed and should be visible at the bottom of the main forum list and the thread list just above the footer. It's not as fancy as the other one as it won't announce new threads, new posts etc. but it is working


And that about wraps it up for the changes that have taken place today.

Hi,
thanks for all the work you do.

There is an error php > PHP Warning: Illegal string offset 'results' in ..../packages/vbcms/widget/myfriends.php on line 222
It appears only on the content.php page!

Well I'm not seeing that, but I was seeing it in the error logs on the server during my investigations yesterday.

So, can you go to 'My Profile' then select the 'Friends' tab. Do you have any friends listed? Then select the 'Edit my friends' link in the top right corner of that tab.

Thanks for the feedback.

Right, scrap all of that what I was saying in my previous post. I've just looked the code and there are some cases that could result in there being no 'results' index in an array of strings which would lead to this error I believe, so I've tweaked the offending file. Would be nice to know if you're still getting the problem.

Well... I think I fixed it as the friends activity widget is now appearing for me whereas it wasn't before.

But, please let me know if it's sorted for you as well.

Thanks

Now it works fine, I haven't had the error ! :)

[AthenaOfDelphi]

That's grand then... problem solved... for now at least :)

I'm not sure but you should change the code css in line 2478 to
dl.stats dd { color:rgb(0, 0, 0); } to show Join Date,Current Activity,Last Activity,Blog Entries in the member.php page.
Just like you changed the line 1351 to
#vsacb_messagearea table tr td span span.shade { color:#000000 } for showing the date in the ChatBox.

Just messaged you in chat. Had never noticed that before, so thanks for pointing it out, it's now fixed :)
