Blog not working

[Muzzy]

Hi Abb.

Figured I'd give it a quick go.
Now no site, but this error message showing up:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /hsphere/local/home/muscroft/mikemuscroft.com/2007/modules/Blogs/Blogs.module.php on line 502

Any ideas?
Mike.

Strange, the files I have sent you were taken from the working website.

To recover the your website you may try deleting modules/Blogs directory, this should kill the module.
Next, re-install the module and try replacing single "action.showblog.php".

Hope this helps.

Hi Abb.

I really must go to this party/celebration soon...

Just put back the original 2 files and posted just your other recommended file.
It's now working - I think.

It looks a little clunky so will work on the styles and templates later to get it looking better.

Thanks for all your hard work and much appreciated help my friend.

Regards.
Mike.

[Addition] Just tried to access the admin side of the module and it shows this error instead of the functions:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /hsphere/local/home/muscroft/mikemuscroft.com/2007/modules/Blogs/action.defaultadmin.php on line 327

I think I might give up on the blog and try using Wordpress like they do on the main CMSMS website for its blog!!! Now I know why.

Bless you.
Mike.

Hi Mike,

As I mentioned earlier, the patch supposedly only adds a single line, somewhere around line 28. Most likely something goes wrong during file transfer.

I think I might give up on the blog and try using Wordpress like they do on the main CMSMS website for its blog!!! Now I know why.

Sounds like a good idea. This blog modules is not exactly useable yet. I shoulld have a look at Wordpress as well.

Cheers,

If you only want to patch "empty page" problem, you only need to get "action.showblog.php" file and place it into modules/Blogs directory. You need to remove .txt extension, I have added it because forum does not allow attaching files with .php extensions.

I too don't know what you did, but want to say that whatever it was, it works perfectly and I will be forever greatful!

Any chance of putting these patches in the default module download, as it will save everyone a lot of confusion!
