Extremely annoying

[MentaL]

So! I've recently gone back into the entire webhost thing and decided that I would start basing my website around SMF again because it's a great free forum with lots of functionallity. Why make things harder than what they need to be?

Anyhow, currently I'm using a heavily modified version of xxnine's Dizaster! theme on my SMF and I've already started to notice a lot of .. well, errors I'd say.

The author seems to not give a damn as he's not replied to his theme's post since he created it, it seems and it's really starting to annoy me.

The errors are basically ******loads of Undefined Indexes on:
show_stats
show_who
show_buddies
num_users_online
num_guests
reklam
latest_post

Pointing towards:
forum/Themes/default/Errors.template.php (main_below sub template - eval?) on lines:
300, 290, 275, 272, 254 and 242. I've got no clue what to do and in a day it generated close to 2 million errors in the error log, resulting in a MySQL crash due to excessive data.

: [ EDIT ] :
On another note, it seems to point towards the template_main_below() function instead so I'll add it here:

Any help on fixing these errors would be most appreciated.

What version of SMF are you using, does the theme support your version of SMF, what mods do you have and what language are you using?

[MentaL]

Using SMF 1.1.10 and the theme is compatible with 1.1.10 Using the English language and I'm using only using the following mods;

Previous and Next Topic Enhancement
Cavecost Captcha
Disable Decrease Post Count Option

[Arantor]

English or English-UTF8 ?

Let's tackle those one at a time. What's supposed to be where $txt['reklam'] is? I don't remember that string in SMF anywhere.

[MentaL]

Regular English mate.

The theme comes with it's own \languages\ThemeStrings.english.php and Settings.english.php containing the following:
Settings.english.php

Code Select Expand


$txt['theme_thumbnail_href'] = $settings['images_url'] . '/thumbnail.gif';
$txt['theme_description'] = 'CoX by Nieeru - Modification of xxnine';
$txt['show_top_right'] = 'Slogan Text:';
$txt['show_top_rightdesc'] = 'You Can use Html';
$txt['reklam_1'] = 'Ad 1 Text:';
$txt['reklam_1_desc'] = 'You Can use Html';
$txt['reklam_2'] = 'Ad 2 Text:';
$txt['reklam_2_desc'] = 'You Can use Html';
$txt['reklam_3'] = 'Ad 3 Text:';
$txt['reklam_3_desc'] = 'You Can use Html';
$txt['reklam_4'] = 'Ad 4 Text:';
$txt['reklam_4_desc'] = 'You Can use Html';
$txt['reklam_5'] = 'Ad 5 Text:';
$txt['reklam_5_desc'] = 'You Can use Html';


and

ThemeStrings.english.php

Code Select Expand


$txt['reklam'] = 'Links';


[Arantor]

Then it should work.

However you could try copying those into Modifications.english.php and seeing if that resolves it.

[MentaL]

Still recieving the same errors as before commenting out ThemeStrings.english.php and Settings.english.php, copying both of their contents into Modifications.english.php

I'm also noticing that it's also only able to track online users/guests on the frontpage and not in the admin page for example (Guess it's intended).

[Arantor]

Hmm, you're not the only one - http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=327857.msg2282377#msg2282377

Not really sure what to suggest to fix it though, I'm not really familiar with the theme.

I'll flag this one up as causing errors though.

[MentaL]

That'd be great atleast. Without the author giving support for it, it's kind of hard to use.
