[Solved] {content} swallows parts of my pages when inserted into template aft...

pdedecker · Post by **pdedecker** » Mon Mar 15, 2010 5:45 pm

I just upgraded from an older version (1.2.3, I believe) to the latest version. Among other things, the admin section doesn't have the new look but does have the new features such as the message center. It says on the bottom that I'm running version 1.6.7. But that's not the main reason why I'm here.

I discovered that as soon as I insert {content} into the active template, parts of my pages are being swallowed by the CMS. This is not a design issue, I actually looked at the code and saw that the entire section had gone missing. When I remove {content}, all turns back to normal. The same thing happens with the tag {hierarchy}.

What could be the cause of this? I already tried verifying the checksum of the install, and it detected no errors.

That sounds very strange, especially considering you should have already had {content} in the template, you may need to be more descriptive in the steps you took to get where you are...

I've upgraded much older sites and never had this problem...

more info = more help...

So here's the deal: I had a custom template that worked fine in 1.2.3. Then I upgraded to 1.6.7 and saw that the site's pages were no longer getting generated correctly. In fact, all that was left were the site logo and a search box.

I emptied the template and pasted the code bit by bit to see which piece of code was making CMSMS go berserk. It turned out the culprits were {content} and {hierarchy}, which is why I'm now left wondering why the CMS is having trouble with this.

Never heard of the {hierarchy} tag... $:-\$
What is it for? Perhaps an old functionality which isn't working with recent releases???

What is your html-template?
Your System Information?

I don't exactly remember what it does as I made the template a long time ago. It doesn't look like something I have written. Here's the code:

Code: Select all

global $gCms;
$pos = $gCms->variables[''position''];
$base = explode(''.'', $pos);
$smarty->assign(''h_toplevel'', $base[0] * 1);
$smarty->assign(''h_parent'',   $base[ (count($base) > 1) ? count($base)-2 : 0 ] * 1);
$smarty->assign(''h_this'',     $base[count($base)-1] * 1);

Here's the template. It's a modified version of a theme I found on the internet. I edited some HTML code for privacy reasons, but I haven't removed any of the Smarty tags so that the nature problem doesn't change.

Code: Select all

What do you mean when you say system information? Do you want a screenshot of phpinfo()?

I don't know if this is relevant, but when I was upgrading I got this warning:

Checking PHP memory limit
(minimum 16M, recommend 24M or greater)

You have 8M

I have never ran into problems with this before the upgrade, so I assumed it was okay. There's no way the web host is changing this setting. Here's another warning I got:

fopen: When allow url fopen is disabled you will not be able to accessing URL object like file using the ftp or http protocol.

You have 8M

You will find System Information in
Site Admin >> System Information >> View Text Report (suitable for copying into forum posts)

But first change in the config.php:
$config['php_memory_limit'] = '60M';

In other bad news: I'm also unable to edit pages.

The WYSIWYG editor is gone...

The WYSIWYG editor is suddenly gone...

You haven't got the {content} tag in the template I think... ;D That's why it isn't shown at the moment

I removed the {content} tag from the template because I wanted to be able to put a "We're experiencing technical difficulties" placeholder on the site. I put the tag back in place, I got the editor back and because of the memory tweak in config.php I now have the site back too.

Thanks guys!

Oh, one more thing... do you know why I don't have the shiny new admin theme I saw in the OpenSourceCMS.com demo?
