Has anyone seen this before?

FYI:

Quote: ›
%ls -l block-random.cache
-rw-r--r-- 1 apache apache 515 Aug 25 18:17 block-random.cache

N.B. It only happens when looking at the gallery module, not the rest of the site.

2 options:
in the random_support.php file, change this:

Code: ›
// Check the cache file to see if it's up to date
$rebuild = 1;
if (fs_file_exists(CACHE_FILE)) {
$stat = fs_stat(CACHE_FILE);
$mtime = $stat[9];
if (time() - $mtime < CACHE_EXPIRED) {
$rebuild = 1;
}
}

to this:

Code: ›
// Check the cache file to see if it's up to date
$rebuild = 0;
if (fs_file_exists(CACHE_FILE)) {
$stat = fs_stat(CACHE_FILE);
$mtime = $stat[9];
if (time() - $mtime < CACHE_EXPIRED) {
$rebuild = 1;
}
}

or, delete the cache file and let it get regenerated.

Strangely enough it was set to 0

Setting it to 1 gives:

Quote: ›
Warning: fopen("/block-random.cache", "r") - No such file or directory in /home/anton/public_html/fullgallery/platform/fs_unix.php on line 53

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/anton/public_html/fullgallery/random_support.php on line 221

and even if it rebiulds the cache file i still get the same error. (i know the second error above is already solved somewhere in the forums, so ill sort that out later)

Actually, the second error is a new one i think... line 222 of my randum_support is

Code: ›
$total = 0;
foreach ($cache as $name => $count) {
if (!$choose) {
$choose = $name;
}

$total += $count;
if ($total != 0 && ($total == 1 || rand(1, $total) <= $count)) {
$choose = $name;
}
}

Check your paths. Seems like you've installed GALLERY outside NUKE?

darkknight · Guru Joined: Aug 21, 2003 Posts: 54

yes, is this a problem?

gallery was installed first... so it was easier to leave it there and then link it in as a module.

It does rebuild the block.random-cache, so its got the right path for that...

actually, another observation is that when $rebuild = 1; the random block just says "no photo chosen" but only when not in the gallery module.

Its obviously a path issue, with being in the gallery path. All paths are given absolute, and straight to me gallery dir.

im looking for any path references that may want to be relative to the NUKE dir. pointers?

Can we see the URL and config paths from the two files? (random_support.php, block-NG-random.php)

block-NG-random.php:

Code: ›
$GALLERY_BASEDIR = "/home/anton/public_html/fullgallery/";
define(ALBUM_BASEADDR, "http://piatek.kicks-ass.net/~anton/fullalbums/");
define(SERVER_ADDR, "http://piatek.kicks-ass.net/");
require_once($GALLERY_BASEDIR . "init.php");
require_once($GALLERY_BASEDIR . "random_support.php");

random_support.php:

Code: ›
$GALLERY_BASEDIR = "/home/anton/public_html/fullgallery/";
require_once($GALLERY_BASEDIR . "init.php");

add ~anton/ to the end of your SERVER ADDR

darkknight · Guru Joined: Aug 21, 2003 Posts: 54

No change,
the phpnuke path is /
the gallery path is /~anton/fullgallery/
the album path is /~anton/fullalbum/

im not sure that change is going to help...

some debug work reveals it is trying to open /block.random-cache... not ~anton/public_html/fullalbums/block.random-cache

You need to move the GALLERY app in to the MODULES folder inside NUKE. If not you will have to re-code as the links from the random block are looking for it inside the modules folder.

Also the current RANDOM block you have is using the name Antons_Photos - NOT what you have configured in your config (fullgallery)

changing in random_support:

Code: ›
define(CACHE_FILE, $gallery->app->albumDir . "/block-random.cache");

To

Code: ›
define(CACHE_FILE, "/home/anton/public_html/fullalbums/block-random.cache");

solves it, so why isnt $gallery->app->albumDir the same as /home/anton/public_html/fullalbums

$gallery->app->albumDir is stored in the config.php file in your gallery directory. it's value is whatever you entered in upon your first config of gallery.
