Try removing one portal block at a time, to see if you can figure out if one of them is causing the slowdown.
Another possibility is that you simply have too much going on at the portal page for what your database host allows in in database power.
You will have to experiment a bit to narrow it down.

Thanks. I will do just that.

I have checked how Simple Portal looks on several computers using the IE browser and it does not look correct under IE, but does under other browser (FF, Chrome).
The entire right hand column is not appearing. Also, the middle boxes are reversed (top to bottom) from what they should be (looks OK under FF and Chrome).

It is not the theme because it happens under the default theme.

What is the problem? I want my portal to appear correct for all users out there.

Sounds like you might have some bad HTML on the page.
IE sometimes handles incorrect HTML more gracefully -- the other browsers make some guesses about "what you really meant".

Please submit the page to an HTML validator.

What version of SimplePortal are you using? What version of SMF? Are you using the "no body" option on any of your blocks?

I don't "mean" anything - I didn't code the pages, I just installed the Simple Portal mod. All the code came from it ...

What version of SimplePortal are you using? What version of SMF? Are you using the "no body" option on any of your blocks?

SP 2.3.3, SMF 2.0 RC5

But -

I have figured out the issue with Simple Portal and IE this morning - it has to do with the following controls -

Width of Left Side Blocks
Width of Right Side Blocks

If you decide to use percentages, such as 50%, IE will not display the page properly. If you use pixels, IE will display it properly. There must be a compatibility or coding issue with Simple Portal's percentage sizing method that works differently in IE than the other browsers. Again, all that comes from the mod installation - not the user!

I bet you if the Simple Portal support page were to test this out, they would see the same issue with IE. Right now I can tell they are not using the percentage size option for the left and right side blocks.

You know -- I was just guessing about what kinds of things often cause these types of errors.
It was most helpful to see a link to the page in your post at the SimplePortal website.
I think that narrowed it down.

Thank you for providing the information we need to help you.

I'm using SMF 1.1.13 and after installing the MOD all I get is the error message below.  Is anyone familiar with the message after install the Simple Portal MOD?  I cant even get to my ADmin Control Panel to remove the MOD.  I attached a picture of the actual problem as well.

Two things may have happened here.

You did not have any complaints before you installed SimplePortal? nothing about your database being out of date for SMF 1.1.3?

It seems that the installer failed to make the required changes to the SimplePortal tables.

Can you, skipping your portal page, go to (your forum)/index.php?action=admin

Can you use your "backed-up" files to run a version of your forum files that does not have SimplePortal installed?

[w0lfman]

No complaints before I attempted the install for SimplePortal.  I updated to 1.1.13 on Friday, I beleive.  I tried to install SImplePortal last night. 

I cant go anywhere other than the screen you see in the attachment in my first post.  Everthing I do takes me back to the error message.

Can you use your "backed-up" files to run a version of your forum files that does not have SimplePortal installed?

Yes, but I dont know which forum files would that be.

[Angelina Belle]

Once you revert to your pre-SimplePortal files, you can do an uninstall on SimplePortal (which should fail tests because you've already removed the edits, so it is ok to proceed even though tests failed)
You might as well use the check box remove all the SimplePortal data, while you are at it

After that, I would get install1-1.php out of the zip file and run it to see if it creates the SimplePortal tables properly this time.

This is where you ran into a problem. A simpleportal table did not have every column it should have had, and SMF was extremely unhappy as a result.


In general, you can order files by date, to see which ones were changed most recently.
So, for every file that was changed last night during the SimplePortal install, you will want the corresponding file with the ~ on the end.

Also, for every mod you got from here, you can use the parser to list the files involved in the rewrites:
http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?action=parse;mod=1104;attach=160883;smf_version=1.1.13
This tells me the files involved are
index.php
SSI.php
Admin.php
BoardIndex.php
Display.php
Help.php
Load.php
ManagePermissions.php
ManageServer.php
QueryString.php
Recent.php
Subs.php
Who.php
index.template.php
Display.template.php

[w0lfman]

OK, I;ve overwritten the files that you suggested, but now I'm getting this error...

Connection Problems
Sorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by the server being busy. Please try again later.

[Angelina Belle]

That's an odd one. Make sure you have the correct information in settings.php.

[ACAMS]

I have SMF 2.0 RC3 with the RC4 security patch and Simpleportal 2.3.2

I am getting an error in my error log whenever anybody clicks a link to one of my PHP pages, it does not give an error for BBC, or HTML.

8: Undefined index: uploadedfile

File: /home/gametechmods/gametechmods.com/forums/Sources/Subs-Portal.php(1155) : eval()'d code
Line: 5



Here is my Subs-Portal.php .....you will see that line 5 has nothing to do with anything.





EDIT: these are uploaders and guests are not allowed, but the error code even pops up for me and other staff and well as regular members.


Here is the real link.. http://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/page,page2096.html

eval()'d code

That's your clue -- it is happening because of eval'd code, being evaluated in Subs-Portal.php (and therefore, by SimplePortal)
So it must be in one of your custom php blocks or pages -- one that appears at that URL.

Somewhere, you are using an array element ['uploadedfile'], but have not first created that array element. If it is supposed to be in a global variable, you need to start your code-to-be-eval()'d with a global statement declaring that global array.

That should fix it!

[ACAMS]

I don't understand, can you tell me in simple terms.....yes, I do have uploadedfile in my code
I don't know where to make the statement, or how.


EDIT:
If it goes in my uploader code here is how it starts out.

Code Select Expand


<?
$target_path = "../Robot_Exchange/AW/"; /// upload folder
$allowedExtentions = "bot"; // allowed extentions
// Upload File
if($_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']){
   $ext = substr($_FILES['uploadedfile']['name'], strrpos($_FILES['uploadedfile']['name'], '.') + 1);
   $chechextentions = explode(",", $allowedExtentions);
   $isallowed = 0;
   foreach($chechextentions as $key => $name){
      if($name==$ext){$isallowed = 1;}
   }



If it needs to go somewhere else, I need to know exactly what and where......I is stuped.

[Angelina Belle]

You are trying to use $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name'], but $_FILES['uploadedfile'] does not exist.

[ACAMS]

Thanks.




Can somebody tell me what I need to do to fix my problem?

[Angelina Belle]

Where did you get that code from?

[ACAMS]

It is some old uploader code a friend wrote years ago that me and another guy have modified over the years to keep it working.
It works fine, just gives the error when I use it in a SimplePortal page. I did not post ALL the code, as I don't want it spread around.

[Angelina Belle]

This piece of code depends on $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']) being set. But, in the context of this SimplePortal page, it doesn't appear that the value has been set.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.files.php
The $_FILES php variable is supposed to be an array of items uploaded to the current script via the HTTP POST method.
But if you are not getting to that page via an HTTP post that uploaded items, then that variable will not have been set.

[ALLSTARR]

is this compatibel with smf 1.1.13 ?
