Clearly, because that theme reworks the whole thing... Honestly it's more of a theme thing than a mod issue. You will have the same problem with SimpleDesk for example...
Regardless, I'm nice, Nightbreeze/css/index.css

Code (add at the end) Select Expand

.button_strip_add_article:before {content:"\f055"}
.button_strip_remove_article:before {content: "\f056"}
Replace the \f055 and \f056 with whichever font-awesome icon you prefer, as long as it's present in version 5.11.2

As for the missing icons that are being called that's interesting, never noticed

That worked, thanks Ninja.

In right block I have added 8 Recent Posts/Topics. Yesterday everything was working fine. But from today only 1st and last Recent Posts/Topics is showing topics. Other Recent Posts/Topics are not showing any topics. How to fix it?

Glad to help old friend

I could be wrong because I haven't used it in a while, but from what I remember that was the intended use. Recent as in last 48h or so

I read a few pages back but couldn't find anything. For some reason, maybe after 2.0.18 update, my front page news that include symbols like apostrophe, get replaced like this:

Code Select Expand

Toyota'nın

Code Select Expand

Toyota'#039nın

When I go into the topic its fine, but on the portal page its replaced.

[Ninja ZX-10RR]

Heard about this elsewhere but that was related to utf8 conversion...

My dirty fix for this is to simply add '#039 to censored words and replace it with ' Nobody in a good state of mind would type '#039 in a discussion anyway.

[4LP3RUZ1]

sounded like a very good idea, but didnt work. The posts are ok, so I'm guessing replace engine doesn't work. It has to do with some function simpleportal uses I am guessing.

edit: ok I'm tracing this down to the feature where portal blocks are shortened to specific amount of characters. If I disable that, portal posts return to normal.

edit2:
I can fix it if I change this part:

Code Select Expand

if (($cutoff = $smcFunc['strpos']($row['body'], '[cutoff]')) !== false)
{
$row['body'] = $smcFunc['substr']($row['body'], 0, $cutoff);
$limited = true;
}
elseif (!empty($length) && $smcFunc['strlen']($row['body']) > $length)
{
$row['body'] = $smcFunc['substr']($row['body'], 0, $length);
$limited = true;
}

like this:

Code Select Expand


if (($cutoff = $smcFunc['strpos']($row['body'], '[cutoff]')) !== false)
{
$row['body'] = substr($row['body'], 0, $cutoff);
$limited = true;
}
elseif (!empty($length) && $smcFunc['strlen']($row['body']) > $length)
{
$row['body'] = substr($row['body'], 0, $length);
$limited = true;
}

why would $smcFunc['substr'] do this?

Does SP 2.3.7 allow php code in blocks?  All are Custom HTML, don't see any way to switch existing block to php.

[Ninja ZX-10RR]

Add block -> Custom PHP


No, you may not change the block type once you created it.

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Yeah, did that last night, php tags don't work in custom html block.  Reason I asked is ad management mod has dropmenu to switch type on existing block, saves a few steps.

My best guess is the block may be using the forum's rules on HTML tags there, but don't quote me on that. It may also be set to only process HTML, and blocks out PHP code for security purposes.

Server is logging a lot of these in 2.0.18, SP 2.3.7 -

[30-Jul-2021 22:00:57 America/Santo_Domingo] PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected '/' in /home/mxb125/public_html/Sources/Load.php(2291) : eval()'d code on line 24



Only changes made to Load.php are from SP.

[Ninja ZX-10RR]

Well, you can start by removing templates evaluation and see what comes up

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Found it in Errors.english.php -

Code Select Expand



/$txt['not_a_user'] = 'The user whose profile you are trying to view does not exist.';/



Nothing to do with SP.  This was another pretty urls screwup, but don't think that had anything to do with it either.  More likely forum owner was dicking around with the code.

Kek Glad you found out!

PHP7.4 causes an error with SP 2.3.7.

The error is

Code Select Expand

8: Trying to access array offset on value of type null
Apply Filter: Only show the errors from this file
File: /*/*/public_html/Sources/PortalBlocks.php(3591) : eval()'d code
Line: 35
The line of code is

Code Select Expand

void sp_recent()
Reverting back to PHP7.3 stops the error

I have 'Disable evaluation of templates' enabled.

Any ideas on a fix to go forward with PHP7.4 please?

[Chen Zhen]

Your error message actually shows line 3591 of PortalBlocks.php which is just the eval function that executes the code from your custom PHP blocks.
Line 35 is what's triggering the error from a PHP custom block.

Disable every custom PHP block, switch back to PHP 7.4 and then enable your custom PHP blocks one at a time until the error occurs. This will allow you to determine which blocks are causing the error.
Keep in mind that you may have multiple custom PHP blocks containing deprecated code.
With that possibility this process may have to be repeated.
 
If you copy the problem block code in a proper code editor it will give you line numbers which should allow you to find the line of code causing the error.

I am trying to move a block to the 1st position. When I attempt to change it, I get the following new error:

It's never happened before, I have been running this mod for years 

Current version I am using is SimplePortal version 2.3.7

The rest of my forum seems to be fine.

Database Error
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'row = row + 1

Line: 662

Note: It appears that your database may require an upgrade. Your forum's files are currently at version SMF 2.0.18, while your database is at version 2.0.4. The above error might possibly go away if you execute the latest version of upgrade.php.
