Articles not displaying?

No problem - I'll PM you the access... thanks, Bloc! I appreciate it....

I just know this is something stupid..
*sigh*

Think I may have stumbled across somthing...

In TPORTAL.PHP, this code is at line 328:

Code Select Expand


  if($row['useintro'] == -1)
  $phplink = '-1';
  elseif($row['useintro'] != -1 && $mypage!=''){
  $phplink = '0';
  else
   $phplink = $row['useintro'];
     $bt[] = array(


userintro = 1
mypage = 5

It's catching on the ELSEIF" - which keeps the bt array from being populated... and the bt array is what's displayed on the page...

Am I gettin' close?

mm..not quite. I am using the "useintro" for a check...if its "-1" then its a php article, and that can't use a intro. $bt is filled anyway.

Hmm... looked down in the merge (just below), and couldn't get anything to echo out of $t either...

I gotta scoot right now, but will look at it some more this evening...

Duh. I see what you mean now - I was lumping everything together.  I can see where it's getting populated now.

Sorry 'bout that....

Update: Verified that it's leaving TPortal_init with $context['TPortal']['boardnews'] fully loaded... now to track down where that's going...

Maybe some sleep first, tho...

Quick (and probably easy) PHP question...

With:
$context['TPortal']['boardnews'] - 1
$counter - 1
$context['TPortal']['mystart'] - 0
$context['TPortal']['frontpage_limit'] - 1,

will $show ever be set to true in the following code?

Code Select Expand


foreach($context['TPortal']['boardnews'] as $news){
// reached the start yet?
$show=false;

if($counter > $context['TPortal']['mystart'] || $counter == $context['TPortal']['mystart']){
if($counter< ($context['TPortal']['mystart']+$context['TPortal']['frontpage_limit']))
$show=true;
}
$counter++;
}


I don't see how it could be, but....

[bd2003]

Okay, I've answered my own question (I think). I don't believe that the "$show" variable will ever be set to true under these conditions...

Since $mystart was always at 0, I tried commenting the nested IF condition that set $show to true, and voila! I now have articles appearing...

Not sure why $mystart isn't allowing this to work properly, though... I'll dig in the code to see what exactly it's being used for...

I have been meaning to rewrite this for some time, its not optimal and may even give wrong results.

[bd2003]

So I didn't break it??

Yay!!

Funny thing this is exactly one of the issues I am haveing right now on my forum.  Thought it was just me!  I also have other issues like post icons not showing up just appears as text and not being able to post links of any kind without them becoming distorted and broken.

I'll gladly grant you access to mine Bloc.
