Artefact-Chooser not loading


03 November 2015, 8:18

Hello

since last week, I use 15.10. Editing a view, some blocks do not load. Console:

XHR Loaded (blocks.json.php - 200 OK - 286.2300000015239ms - 675B)
VM2053:3 XXXXwww.e-pf.ch/view/blocks.json.php?id=1373&change=1&blocktype=blogpost&action_addblocktype_row_1_column_1_order_2=true&sesskey=0OvzsgEGpRDZkXwB

Error loading JSON

Using the link above I get this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '(' in /home/imthurn/maharadata/dwoo/compile/default/home/imthurn/www/mahara/theme/raw/templates/form/artefactchooser.tpl.d17.php on line 39

I cannot load blog-blocktypes, notes, etc.

Does anybody knows something about that?

 

XXXX I'm not allowed to post the link :-)

Hi Gabriel

Can I get you to try deleting the file

/home/imthurn/maharadata/dwoo/compile/default/home/imthurn/www/mahara/theme/raw/templates/form/artefactchooser.tpl.d17.php

as it is a compiled file it will recreate itself if missing and hopefully will re-compile correctly..

If that doesn't work can you copy and paste the line 39 of that file here so that I can see what it is trying to do

Cheers

Robert

Hm, we should really add a "purge caches" admin tool to Mahara to help with these kinds of issues.

Thank you for helping me.

I deleted it. (Do I understand right? The whole dwoo folder is compiled fresh, when I delete it?

The same mistake.

Here the line. I'm sorry, I don't see the bug.

<?php if (empty((is_string($tmp=$this->scope["artefacts"]) ? htmlspecialchars($tmp, ENT_QUOTES, $this->charset) : $tmp))) {

It's 23.13 in Switzerland. I might go to sleep soon. :-)

Good night, Gabriel

Hi Gabriel,

I am not able to replicate the problem, are you still having problem with this?

If you are, can you try a possible fix I wrote for this -> https://reviews.mahara.org/#/c/5665/

and let me now if it makes any difference.

Cheers

Robert

Hi Gabriel,

Are you using PHP 5.4 or earlier? I think the cause of the problem here is that PHP 5.4 and earlier don't support passing an expression to the empty() function.

(Since Mahara aims to support PHP 5.3 and up, this can be considered a bug in Mahara core.)

If this is the case, then Robert's patch should fix the problem for you.

Cheers,

Aaron

I'm still having the Problem. I build a test environment test.imthurn.net with a fresh install. Same Problem.

I will test the patch this weekend. In the Moment I don't know the php-Version. But I can change the Version. I will tell you what happend with different php versions and also with the patch.

Thank you again for helping me.

Good Evening

I just changed the two lines as mentioned. It works now on my test environment. PHP Version 5.4.45.

In my second test I used the original files. And turned on PHP Version 5.6.13. Everything works fine.

Thank you for helping me.

I wish everybody a nice weekend.

Cheers Gabriel
