ssi_boardNews() crashes in examples_ssi.php with my 2b4 installation

[wakewatcher]

I just installed 3b4 with no mods and am playing with ssi.php.  I ran the examples file and it exits after it makes the call to ssi_boardNews().  If I comment that call out it processes the rest of the examples.  Don't know if this is a bug in 2b4 or not.

Are there any errors on your error log?

I think you server stop the process, because you can see the example file on this server and the board news function work fine here.

I don't have any errors in the error log.  I'm suggesting that there might be a bug in SSI.php.  At least it should return rather than (apparently) exiting.  As I say when I pull that function call out of the examples file it runs to the end of the page.  When its in it runs until the function call.

So i tested it on some systems, and i can tell you that this function work fine.
Can you give me a link to you ssi_examples.php?
Because I'm sure that your execute is stopped by a limit setting of the server.

Sent PM with link.  Thx.

Okay now i see it did not crash .

It stop the script oO and output "You cannot specify a board that doesn't allow guests. Please check the board ID before trying again."

Okay smf really do a "die($txt['ssi_no_guests']);" on that script... okay i think thats a bug .

I will post it in the bug board . (But first i will look if i can find it at the bug tracker). done

If you need a fix for that than replace

Code Select Expand


if ($output_method == 'echo')
die($txt['ssi_no_guests']);
else
return array();


with

Code Select Expand


if ($output_method == 'echo')
{
echo $txt['ssi_no_guests'];
return;
}
else
return array();


But it is possible that you can not upgrade afterward.

I guess its how you choose to define 'crash'.     The script aborted at that point so for my purposes it crashed.  But thanks for the help and I (even) see the logic as to why.  Another somewhat unrelated (ok totally unrelated but having to do with integration) question.  Where can I find a list of all the variables that I can access after calling ssi.php.  For example I have stumbled upon things like $context['user']['name'] but how can I for example get the user's profile fields. etc.  Any reference for variables in general?  Thx.

Difficult xD.
There are so many standard things loaded... :X

If you really like to load all fields from a user that you need to load first all informations about the use than you can output them. For this you can use the SSI Function "ssi_fetchMember". If you set it to array it will output the array of the given ids. (Only in 2.0. beta 4+)

Example:

Code Select Expand


global $user_info;
ssi_fetchMember($user_info['id']);
