Have you tried different themes?

Could it be a permissions problem with the file footer.php?

Posted: Thu Mar 27, 2008 3:46 pm

What do you mean ? permissions? the file 644 or you mean serverside?
if thats the case I have another phpnuke raven site running on the same server and all is fine..
as I re-uploaded the stock files is it possible it could be a database side problem? where would I look for anywhere that works the footer database side?

If this is for the site listed in your profile then I am seeing the footer just fine, though there is an odd character just before the copyright symbol.

You didn't by accident upload the file in ascii instead of binary did you?

No the site is here www.online-gaming-forums.com

Surely if I uploaded stock files the problem could be database tables side?
any idea`s what tables though?
cheers all

footer.php is working correctly - or at least not a parsing error, it properly redirects to index.php. That means no permission problem, too, at least on that file. The footer text is stored in the nuke_config table, specifically in the foot1, foot2, foot3 fields.

What's in this table?

Problem is something on the main page. The footer shows up on other pages (e.g. http://www.online-gaming-forums.com/members.html).

The problem is the |2es Members block. Disable that and I bet your footer appears...

Yeah, kguske, that is where I had gone with mrix. I had him try to disable, bottom-up, all center-down and right blocks. The odd thing is that its happening only in select modules, not all of them. For example, Downloads and Web Links do not work, but Surveys, Content and Forums do. Very strange.

mrix, I take it that the other things I asked you to try regarding logging has revealed nothing?

Oh, and I have already verified that header.php, mainfile.php, footer.php and the related shortlinks code is all OOTB RN 2.20.01.... go figure... Also, he is not using ANY custom_files.

The ones that work don't have right hand blocks.

Posted: Thu Mar 27, 2008 7:07 pm

My guess is that one of the right hand blocks has a parsing error - maybe not the one I listed, but one after that in the list.

We'll have to see what mrix says as I had asked him to deactivate them all in that order one-by-one until the footer issue resolved itself...

Hi there, I did disable each right hand block one by one, actually I disabled every block and even took the text out of the front page... I`ll have another go though just to make sure... montego I did do the error thing you asked me and the rnlogs are there in the folder if you could take a look when you find a minute, I dont understand them to be honest.

Hi there, I just deactivated every right block there was and still no joy Crying or Very sad

thanks for your efforts
with the varius upgrades is it not possible something may of happened phpmyadmin side?
how many tables would deal with this type of thing?
cheers

Stumped...It has to be something with one or more of the right blocks or with how the theme handles right blocks, because on the pages that don't display the right blocks, it works.

Posted: Fri Mar 28, 2008 5:32 am

Its the same with every theme even the default Confused

Footer.php also calls center blocks - do you have any of those active?

Posted: Fri Mar 28, 2008 5:43 am

I`ll try deactivating a few centre blocks now.
cheers

Actually montego sugested deactivating the centre blocks yesterday that which i did, I just tried it again and no difference.
I have asked this question a few times now but with no reply ...

why could it not be database related ? if so what parts of the database deal with the theme layout ?

cheers all

mrix, only the right-hand blocks come into play here. Please deactivate all of those.

Regarding theme layout, there is nothing database related. Remember yesterday that I tried this even with the stock fisubice theme and the same issue persists.

I am convinced this is right-hand block related so we need to deactivate those and check again.

Posted: Fri Mar 28, 2008 10:05 am

I have deactivated all the right blocks so there is nothing there at all.. and is still the same Confused

I have had a problem in some themes. When you rename a block funky things can happen. I dont know why this would happen but when I renamed them back to the original everything went back to normal.
