8: Undefined index: blurb

[ariescapes]

Okay, this is driving me crazy enough that I need help with.

I'm getting this error and I can't figure it out. And what's worse is that it's logging for spambots which is killing my logs on a daily basis.

That looks like a mod error.  Which mods are you running?

[ariescapes]

A few. >.> This is also a modified layout.. but I don't see where it is called from would cause this error.

Removed the few that weren't actually installed.

[Sir Osis of Liver]

That may be a custom edit related to this.

[ariescapes]

Maybe? The odd part is that it's still calling up the profile information and displaying it correctly.

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Undefined index errors can occur without causing a problem.  If everything's working, I wouldn't worry about it.  There's a trick to fudge the code that eliminates the error, but can't remember it offhand.

[ariescapes]

Let me know if you do remember. The error logs add up faster then I like. :/

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Go to Admin -> Logs -> Log Pruning and reduce the number of days.  Will see if I can come up with the code edit.

[Sir Osis of Liver]

The code in your Display.template.php has been changed from this -

Code Select Expand



// Show their personal text?
if (!empty($settings['show_blurb']) && $message['member']['blurb'] != '')
echo '
<li class="blurb">', $message['member']['blurb'], '</li>';



to this -

Code Select Expand



// Show their personal text?
if (!empty($settings['show_blurb']) && $message['member']['blurb'] != '')
echo '
<div class="OocCaste">', $message['member']['blurb'], '</div>';



probably by a mod.  Oddly, if I replace the default code with your code in a test forum, it doesn't throw an error, even though the css class doesn't exist.  You can try replacing that one line with default code and see if it clears the error.  Also, take a look in /css/index.css and see if there's a OocCaste class.

[ariescapes]

Yeah, there is an OocCaste class.

Code Select Expand

.OocCaste {width: 185px; padding: 12px 9px 0 9px; margin-top: 5px; font-family: Satisfy; font-weight: 600; font-size: 13px; letter-spacing: 1px; text-align: center; line-height: 100%; color: #382112;  }

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Can you attach your Display.template.php?  Am unable to duplicate the error.

[ariescapes]

This should do it.
Thank you for takign the time to help me with this!

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Also need your index.css.

Go to Admin -> Server Settings -> Disable evaluation of templates, check that and save, see if the error remains the same.

[ariescapes]

So here is the CSS.

And that option had a check mark, I removed it and saves (so it isn't selected) ... and it took a bit but..

Type of error: Undefined

That check needs to be selected.

Also, the 'blurb' index should be defined, by default it's blank but it is defined. Your error could be caused by a MOD or an edit to some part of the Source files and not the Theme files.

You need to search in the forum files for all the matches for the 'blurb' in the Sources and Themes directories, to see if somewhere is explicitly undefined or if is not defined at all.

In a clean site is defined in the /Sources/Load.php as $profile['personal_text'] and that is being censored just right before. The personal text is first defined in the /Sources/Subs-Members.php at the time of register as the default setting $modSettings['default_personal_text'] that should be defined in /Sources/ManageSettings.php as '' (literally blank, but defined). Later in /Sources/Profile-Modify.php when the user modify it's profile that changes $profile['personal_text'].

Can yo attach this four files:
/Sources/Load.php
/Sources/Profile-Modify.php
/Sources/Register.php
/Sources/Subs-Members.php

So we can check out those files.

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Your error could be caused by a MOD or an edit to some part of the Source files and not the Theme files.

That's what I'm thinking.  OP is apparently using third party mods from another site, so it could be anything.

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Oddly, I've been able to replicate the 'blurb' error by installing OP's Display.template.php (only that) on a test forum.  It only occurs if I display one thread which contains a couple of posts from a member that was deleted, and reverted to guest.  Template has been modded quite a bit, too tired to run it down tonight.  Will give it a go tomorrow.  No idea how 'blurb' could become undefined as a result of changes elsewhere in the template, it only appears in the code posted above.

[Kindred]

Well, that would be the problem then... a guest has no user info, and therefore, blurb doesn't exist for a guest...   but, since the account doesn't actually exist and there is a sort of use assigned to the post, th system gets confused and can't find all of the data...

[Sir Osis of Liver]

But that doesn't happen here, does it?  kat is a deleted member and is shown as guest with no profile link next to his posts, that would cause same error.  OP's template is trying to load avatar for deleted member/guest -

Looks like there's at least one avatar mod in the template, will pick thru the code soon as I get a chance.

[Illori]

no such errors on this forum.
