UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 6 V6 Modifications Forum Design Integration Problem with "recommend Us"

When attempting to access the "recommend us" feature on IIP users get the following error message:

Notice: Undefined variable: paction in C:\InetPub\wwwroot\Athenalink\forum\pals\recommenduspal.php on line 22

Notice: Undefined variable: paction in C:\InetPub\wwwroot\Athenalink\forum\pals\recommenduspal.php on line 74

Notice: Undefined variable: paction in C:\InetPub\wwwroot\Athenalink\forum\pals\recommenduspal.php on line 113


How can I correct this error?

Thanks.

I can't seem to recreate the error. Is anyone else having this error?

Sounds like full warnings are turned on. Undefined variable would mean that a variable is trying to be referenced even though it hasn't been set. This error warning would only be displayed if full warnings are turned on.

I don't think that's the case as there would be a ton more warnings... but not for long...

The form is posted back to the script and the undefined value is in the form's data:

<form action="http://www.athenalink.com/forum/pals/recommenduspal.php" method="post" name="RecommendUs" id="RecommendUs">
<input type="hidden" name="Cat" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="paction" value="rusend" />

Did you edit the recommenduspal.php script? The call for the globals may be missing in the function that sends the message out.

Try uploading a clean copy of the script if you have modified anything and see if it works then. I'll cross my fingers as I can't seem to recreate it. (unless I turn full error reporting on...)

Not trying to convolute (sp?) the subject, but actually you would get this on this particular script. Error reporting is cut down to only criticals in the ubbt.inc.php script. However, since that script only gets included when paction is set to "rusend" the error reporting never gets set because paction must be null. So, it goes by the php.ini default which is probably set to all warnings Ok, I'll shut up now

LoL ahhh ok... that made sense. Thanks Rick


JJS I'll update that script shortly and upload the zip to the main post. Give me a few and I should have it up.

I just updated the recommenduspal.php script in the 5.1.1 zip file attached to the main post for that version. What I did was check to see if $paction is set before seeing what value it may be. That should fix things. (crossing fingers)

Thanks, Dave....

I'll download the new script and let you know.

Please do.

I'll be working on getting IIP 6.0 able to run with full error reporting once I can get my hands on .threads 6.2 and then this type of problem shouldn't be an issue in the future.

Sorry, no luck with the new file.

I no longer get the error message but when I hit send it simply sends me off to a blank white screen.

I fixed it as far as if the error was as Rick said and being related to the fact that the variable is undefined so that's why you don't see the error statements. Would it be possible for me to access your account so I could do a few tests. I would like to see what's being passed to the script, if anything, when the post is made.

Dave:

I will send you a PM. Thanks.

How did you get rated 6 stars when the ratings only go up to 5?

a) Because he is Rick.... great god of all things Threads. We all just think so highly of him that 5 stars just didn't do it.

and

b) A simple SQL command.

Actually, I did it to him. lol

Wanted to show where a check was needed in the script.

Now if I only had the power to give you and allen 6 as well... I would.
