could somebody please tell me why the following php code in a custom php block works fine on the portal page and in preview but not on a custom page or anywhere else in the forum.

Code Select Expand

$x = rand(1000000, 70000000);
$m = date(n);
$d = date(j);

$sum = $m + $d - 1;
$mod = $sum % 5;
$bingo = 7 * $x + $mod;
print "<b>$bingo</b>";


This is the error I get

8: Use of undefined constant n - assumed 'n'
File: C:\wamp\www\web\forum\smf\Themes\As_theme\MessageIndex.template.php (portal_below sub template - eval?)
Line: 2Database Error: Table 'products.smf_sessions' doesn't exist
File: C:\wamp\www\web\forum\smf\Sources\Load.php
Line: 2298

I can put this code into a custom php page and it works, just doesn't work in a block.
This isn't the only code that I have problems with....but this is a simple math problem...what gives?

SMF 1.1.10
Portal 2.3.1


Thanks

What's n and j you are using with date()? It should either be 'n' and 'j' or $n and $j.

This is where I say 'duh'
the weird thing is that now my shoutbox is broke

Thanks

Just updated from 2.0.5 to 2.3 and I gotta tell ya I'm just blown away by all the bells and whistles this puppy has. Every single thought i ever had for improving this mod has been realized and then some. Fantastic job on this mod guys and thank you all so much (especially you Sin) for offering such premium code to us SMF users for free.

Normally I do not bother such generous individuals as yourselves with problems that I could probably work out on my own but i don't have a large amount of time on my hands these days so a direct answer or even a point in the right direction would really help me out.

Ok here is the problem. Uninstalled 2.0.5 without a hitch(all tests successful) and installed 2.3 with same ease, turn key really. With some minor tweaking I got all of my old blocks working again with the exception of the poll block.

I get the following error in that block and all blocks after don't load.

Database Error
Unknown column 'p.ID_BOARD' in 'field list'
File: /nfsn/content/thewormhole/public/forum/SSI.php
Line: 908

Any idea what could be causing this? Do I need to update to 2.3.1 and if so can I do that without uninstalling 2.3?

Edit:By the way I am running 1.1.9

Poll block fetches data using the poll functions in SSI.php file. You seem to have edited the code in SSI.php and there is a problem with the query. If you don't have custom edits in SSI.php file, just replace it with a fresh one from SMF package. Otherwise you could attach it here so that we can check it.

Although it won't help with this issue particularly, I would suggest updating to 2.3.1. You won't need to uninstall 2.3 version; just install 2.3.1 package on it.

"GET /index.php?action=admin;area=packages;sa=uninstall;package=SimplePortal_2.3.1.tar.gz;pid=48 HTTP/1.1" 500 -

[smoooth]

I added EVERYTHING and nothing changed?

Can you explain more please.

[worm82075]

Edit: Fixed it - thanks for point in the right direction. Don't know how it got there but the unknown in the error was the culprit.

edit2:

Suggestion for Future Versions

1-Make the poll block so you can specify a board to select random polls and (like the view topic link) another link to view another random poll. This way i can limit the polls displayed to Official site polls the other link will cycle through the other polls on that board.

2- Add an option to use message icons for recent posts and topics

Weird.
After using SimplePortal Shoutbox my forum ended up in a 500 internal server error.

Any help?

Is SMF 2.0 RC3 supported?

Not yet.  Expecting news soon over at http://www.simpleportal.net

[smp420]

It works on RC3 actually I think most mods do just click on advanced at the bottom of package manager and emulate rc2.

I can echo that, as installed on a live test forum.

SimplePortal 2.3.1 works perfectly fine with SMF 2.0 RC3. Just emulate the Package Manager version to SMF 2.0 RC2 and you can install and use it without any issues.

Thanks for the advice SiNaN it works

ps I had to hunt around to see what "emulate the Package Manager version" means. If you're the same see here
