Module Manager coming up blank

[stopsatgreen]

I installed 1.0 yesterday and the Module Manager was working fine; I've returned to it today, and it's displaying no results. Does the MM pull in an external page, and if so is this page currently down?

[Dee]

ModuleManager pulls in the current module information from the module repository.
I'm not experiencing any troubles with it at the moment.
If PHP's memory_limit is set too low the page returns without results (showing only the 'Available Modules' and 'Preferences' tabs with the tabs not working)

That's what it's showing; just the tabs. But what could have changed between yesterday and today so that it no longer shows?

[Dee]

Maybe there's more modules available, taking up more of PHP's memory.
New versions of NMS, Frontend Users, Feedback Form, Custom Content and Calendar were released:

I see... and what could I do to stop this happening? Increase PHPs memory_limit? Where can I do that?

[Dee]

It's set in a file named php.ini on the server.
You can try putting ini_set("memory_limit", "16M"); near the top of include.php, but it's not guaranteed to work. It totally depends on the server configuration.
Some hosts support creating a php.ini file and placing it in your webroot.

I have access to php.ini as I'm working on a local dev server. I changed 8M to 16M, restarted Apache, and... nothing.

Perfomance has increased drastically after some of the latest changes to ModuleManger.
Hopefully upgrading to 1.0.2 (will be released later today) will solve this issue for you.

When this happens, do a  'view source' and search for the word error, it usually tells you what's going on.... (the tabs are hiding the error message).  Assuming of course, that your error reporting is setup correctly in php.ini
