Error log 'problem' ??

[Gambo916]

Hi Guys, I hope you can offer me some advice.

I am about a month into having my first every forum, so I am VERY inexperienced with regard to the techy side of things, so please bear this in mind if you are able to offer advice......PLEASE keep it simple, Thanks.

My 'problem' is this....

Whenever I or one of my forum members or guests does ANY action on the forum, it gets recorded in the error log.

Now forgive me for being so dull, but I thought the error log was only supposed to log anything that was deemed to be an actual 'error'.

I have only noticed this happening today, and have not been aware of it happening like that in the past.


Is what is happening correct, or is something wrong?

If so, what, and how do I go about fixing it?

Please remember that I'm a complete idiot when it comes to computers, so please keep any replies as basic as you can please, Thanks.

atb, Gambo

[Eudemon]

error log is suppose to hold errors
please post the error you're getting so we can help you
another good practice is to include an url to your forum

Hi, Gambo and welcome to the forum!

[Gambo916]

My forum is http://planetairgun.com/index.php [nofollow]


This is what appears under everybody's 'error' >>>

Apply Filter: Only show the errors with the same message
8: Undefined index: canonical_url
Apply Filter: Only show the errors from this file
File: /home/planetai/public_html/Themes/default/Recent.template.php (html_above sub template - eval?)
Line: 132


Is that of any help?? 

Thanks.

Admin -> Server Settings -> Disable evaluation of templates
Then post any new error messages without eval in them

[Gambo916]

Ok, done that, now this is what it says >>>

Apply Filter: Only show the error messages of this URL
http://planetairgun.com/index.php?action=admin [nofollow]
Apply Filter: Only show the errors with the same message
8: Undefined index: canonical_url
Apply Filter: Only show the errors from this file
File: /home/planetai/public_html/Themes/CoalBlack_20/index.template.php
Line: 132

Is that any more help?

[Eudemon]

can you post the code of that and previous/next line in your custom theme's index.template.php

[Gambo916]

can you post the code of that and previous/next line in your custom theme's index.template.php

Sorry, you've lost me there...I don't know what you mean!

I said I was a numpty, didn't I?? 

[Eudemon]

there should an icon right next to

File: /home/planetai/public_html/Themes/CoalBlack_20/index.template.php

click that it will show the codes

[Gambo916]

Is this what you mean? >> 

Apply Filter: Only show the error messages of this URL
http://planetairgun.com/index.php?action=admin;area=logs;sa=errorlog;desc;filter=file;value=L2hvbWUvcGxhbmV0YWkvcHVibGljX2h0bWwvVGhlbWVzL0NvYWxCbGFja18yMC9pbmRleC50ZW1wbGF0ZS5waHA= [nofollow]


Or maybe this >>>

==>132:    

   

<title>', $context['page_title_html_safe'], '</title> <meta name="robots" content="index, follow" />

   

<link rel="canonical" href="', $context['canonical_url'], '" />';

[Eudemon]

no, not the icon that filters the error
there is another one right next to the file path, click it it will pop up a window that contains the codes of the file that produces the error
im using my college's computer so i can't make a screenshot to demonstrate

[Gambo916]

The pop-up window showed the codes that I put at the bottom of my last post.

Line 132 the error codes were saying, so I copy and pasted line 132 of that pop-up window.

[Eudemon]

is there

Code Select Expand

if (!empty($context['canonical_url']))
echo '
before

Code Select Expand

<link rel="canonical" href="', $context['canonical_url'], '" />';
?

[NanoSector]

is there

Code Select Expand

if (!empty($context['canonical_url']))
echo '
before

Code Select Expand

<link rel="canonical" href="', $context['canonical_url'], '" />';
?

Do you see any?

[Eudemon]

normally it looks like this yeah?

Code Select Expand

// Please don't index these Mr Robot.
if (!empty($context['robot_no_index']))
echo '
<meta name="robots" content="noindex" />';

// Present a canonical url for search engines to prevent duplicate content in their indices.
if (!empty($context['canonical_url']))
echo '
<link rel="canonical" href="', $context['canonical_url'], '" />';

anyways, it could be something else causing the problem
apparently the script can't define $context['canonical_url']
just trying to find out the possibilities

[Gambo916]

Not that I can see.

What I get is this >

==>132:    

   

<title>', $context['page_title_html_safe'], '</title> <meta name="robots" content="index, follow" />

   

<link rel="canonical" href="', $context['canonical_url'], '" />';

Does that make any sense to you guys? 



Thanks for you patience!!! 

[NanoSector]

It's fine that you want to find the possibilities, just pointing out that the code Gambo posted didn't have the If in it.

Anyway, could you please attach your "index.template.php" from your Glacier theme, here, in your next post? Thanks.
You can do this by:
1. Go in your FTP client,
2. Go into the "Themes" folder,
3. Go into a folder with "glacier" in it,
4. Copy over the index.template.php to your computer (drag'n'drop),
5. Attach it to your post here.

[Gambo916]

Soz guys, all this is over my head. 

I've attempted to sort it myself, but feel I must admit defeat, and resign myself to getting the people who set my site up, to look into it for me.


So thanks for all Your help and patience Guys....I'll try to post back about what the problem was once it's sorted (if I understand it).

atvb, Gambo.
