CGBlog broken [Solved]

[douglas1438]

Since installing Front End Users (I think, only change made since it stopped working) the CGBlog module has stopped working. I have tried clearing the cache along with uninstalling and reinstalling from the modules page.

I've attached a screen shot showing the broken screen.

Any ideas please?

Latest calguy's modules need php >= 5.3. Either upgrade your server php (some hosts allow for an .htaccess directive) or downgrade FEU (if that was the upgrade/install that broke...)

Thank you for your reply.

Coincidentally our host has just emailed out advising its customers to upgrade to PHP 5.4, can I upgrade without it effecting anything else?

If I chose the downgrade route for FEU, do I just replace the module? Would I lose anything?

Thank you.

I have now upgraded to PHP 5.4, and the blog is now working. However, all my blog articles have disappeared.

I uninstalled the module but didn't remove it, does this remove the articles from the database?

Thanks,
Chris

Yes, it does...
You should make backups of everything (files and DB) before any change to a site, particularly a major change such as an upgrade.
When you need to deactivate a module there are a few ways, depending on the situation:
- on the modules page click Active to toggle between states;
- rename the physical folder of the module (change ModuleName to ModuleName_);

Uninstalling a module always deletes the module data, or at least it should...

Lesson learned the hard way.
