[SOLVED] Self Inflicted Problem - FEU

quethiock · Post by **quethiock** » Thu Nov 12, 2015 10:23 pm

Hi

I am hoping somebody can point me in the right direction please as I have screwed up slightly!

Here is the background story. I have had a few users (using Module FrontEndUsers) not being able to reset their password because they never got the email from the system because it got classed as spam due, I think, to the (default) Email Title (set in /modules/frontendusers/lang/en_US.php, line 493) as "Lost Password" ... so I changed the message to "Access to Members Area" and that has worked OK until I last updated FEU, and that put the tiotle back to "Lost Password" ... but I missed out the closing ' so the line actually said:

$lang['lostpassword_emailsubject'] = 'Access to Members Area;

That threw up problems and the website stopped working .. of course ... lots of errors like this:

[11-Nov-2015 14:02:32 Europe/London] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'error_nomailermodule' (T_STRING) in /home/imtdorgu/public_html/modules/FrontEndUsers/lang/en_US.php on line 494

Looked at line 494 of en_US.php and immediately saw the problem in Line 493 and the missing '. Corrected it, called myself some stupid names and tried the website again. Different problems now!

Lots of the following appearing on the screen and in the error logs:

[12-Nov-2015 21:03:40 Europe/London] PHP Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/imtdorgu/public_html/modules/FrontEndUsers/lang/en_US.php:666) in /home/imtdorgu/public_html/include.php on line 109

Also, bits of the website appeared below those error messages (the number of lines of error varied depending on what menu item I was going to). Thought to try and clear the cache but when I go to 'Site Admin', I cannot see that tabs so can only see the 'Database status' option.

Now, to me (the one who broke the site) the error appears to be in the FEU/lang/en_US.php file as that is the common feature of this problem but I can't see anything wrong

Below is the spec for what I have installed. Why am I still on CMS 1.12 and not up to CMS 2.0.1.1 or 2.0.1 or 2.0? I saw the problems reported with FormBuilder a little while ago after an upgrade to CMS 2.0 and I have some big well developed Form on the site so decided to see when the FormBuilder problems settled down before doing the upgrade and I haven't had time yet to do that yet.

I would really appreciate some pointers here please to where I need to look to get my site working correctly again without re-installing it from scratch (or I suppose uninstalling the FEU Module, installing it again, and importing the users).

I have attached a copy, renamed from php to txt, of the en_US file ... just in case.

Clear cache?

Thanks for the suggestion Rolf

I had already tried that and failed as the admin screen layout is screwed by the error messages.

I can get to the 'Site Admin' tab but then cannot select the Tab for 'Cache and content':

Assuming that the only thing you have changed was the lang/en_US.php file, I recommend the following:

Replace the modified file by a copy of the original;
Create a folder hierarchy exactly like this: <your cmsms site root>/module_custom/FrontEndUsers/lang (*);
Create a file entitled en_US.php inside it (*);
Edit the file so it has the following content: <?php $lang['lostpassword_emailsubject'] = 'Access to Members Area'; ?> (*);

This is a well documented feature (*) of CMSMS which lets you customize language strings and backend templates without the problem of having them overwritten by an update.

(*) see: http://docs.cmsmadesimple.org/customizi ... ge-strings

To Jo Morg,

Thanks VERY MUCH for that - that makes life SO much easier. Such an easy and elegant solution. Love it!

I have done that and it's all working again

Off to apply it to the other sites I run.
