TOPIC: "ERROR 2" on My Page

Hi, we just installed webtrees version 1.06 and it seems to work ok. There is an error on My Page, however, below the two boxes "On This Day ... " and "No events exist for today" (see below). Any ideas on what may be the problem?

The error would appear to be from a "User favourites" block.

Do you have this block? Do you have any favourites listed within it?

Yes, we have the User Favourites block on My page (I dont know where to configure this, though). And yes, I have a user favourite, I can see this in the link to Favourites in the Menu.
I looked at another user who did not yet have a user favourite, and here the box was shown on My page and no error. However, when I chose a favourite for that user, the error came on that page as well.
On the front page, the database favourite is shown without errors.

Hugo
You may not be aware that there is a difference between Favourites selected by the admin for site wide application, and personal favourites. You configure the personal favourites using the personal block on your My Page (block title is My Favourites) and add to it using the configuration link at the bottom of the block, "Add a new favourite". The site favourites block is similar, but located on the Home Page and configured there in the same fashion. Site-wide Home Page favourites should appear on every user and casual visitor's pages while personal (My) favorites will appear only on a single person's pages. If existing for that user, they will both appear in the menu at the top, and then separately on the Home and My Page page blocks.

The code may be confused if the block is present on your 'My Page', but have no favourite specified. This should not be the case as selection is not mandatory, but could be, and identifying this would be helpful as a clue to the error.
Thanks,

At first glance, it would appear that the theme is undefined. Does this affect all themes. Do you have a custom theme?

This *could* be a coding error (FYI, the relevant code has been updated since 1.0.6), however, I cannot reproduce this error in either 1.0.6 nor the latest code.

Fixing errors that you cannot reproduce is very difficult.

Without more information, I can only suggest waiting until the next release (middle of January?)

Yes, the error looks the same in all themes, and we don't use a custom theme. I don't know what might cause the error on our site and not on other sites, but I understand that you cannot do more. It is only a minor error, so I will wait and see whether the update removes the error. Thanks for looking into it.

While you wait (and I wouldn't be at all confident any code change will fix this, as all other sites seem to work OK), have you checked that the files referred to in the error do exist?

ERROR 2: require(templates/personbox_template.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory

There should be this structure within each theme folder, such as /themes/webtrees/templates/personbox_template.php. In fact there should be three files in each "templates" folder.

I think there is more to this than you may think. I know this is a old post but I was searching as I now have the same problem.

Everything was working fine for a user on my test system and then I customized the front page and added user Favourites and (I think) 'up and coming events'.

I now get the same error

ERROR 2: require(templates/personbox_template.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory

If you think about this a little more you will see that the Theme directory has not been tagged onto the require statement -- one would expect 'theme/<themename>/' to preceded the filename ?

The next line of the error tells me that the 'require' statement in on line 361 of functions_print.php. I looked at the line and see $THEME_DIR should be prepended. A quick hack of the script to print the variable shows me that $THEME_DIR is blank :-o

If I change the variable to WT_THEME_DIR it solves the problem and the script moves on, but errors again with a similar problem. It would appear that $THEME_DIR is being cleared somewhere --Yes/No?

As we are only hours away from releasing ver 1.1.0, I would recommend you wait briefly then try that version, as per this comment:

Sorry the release is later than "middle of January", but it WILL be out in a few hours.

Hi David,

Your investigation and diagnosis are correct. $THEME_DIR has been replaced with WT_THEME_DIR.

From the line-number, I'm guessing you are using webtrees 1.0.6

This bug has already been fixed, and the 1.1.0 release (tomorrow?) will include it.

Greg

Thanks Nigel.

I will look forward to the update, and I can report back.

I did hear one was coming soon so I am waiting with some anticipation as there are several things I hope will get fixed but I have held off on reporting them. I have been busy themeing while I waited on an update, but this particular problem has floored me as I do not know how to fix the problem for that user now (so they can not login). It's a test system at the moment anyway so not a biggie

Greg, thanks
