[campsite-support] problem with comments
  • Hi everyone,

    We've recently upgraded to version 2.7.0-rc5 from 2.6.7 and we have a problem with posting comments on article. Whenever somebody tries to post a comment, he gets a message :


    Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /var/campsite/www-common/html/comment_lib.php on line 153

    any ideas?

  • hi holman, thnx for reply, any luck with my problem maybe? I've look at it
    more, and the thing is, if already there is a comment posted on certain
    articlem you cant post new comment with no problem, but if that is the first
    comment for the article, error message is given. I reckon that it's a
    problem with object initialization, but thats all I've figured.

    thnx, Vukan
  • This usually happens when:
    - a campsite user posts a comment;
    - the user has a campsite account;
    - in the phorum_users table there an account with the same email address
    exists but it was not synchronized with the campsite user table.

    Please select the action "Users->Synchronize Campsite and Phorum Users" from
    the admin menu and check if this fixes your problem.

    Regards,
    Mugur

  • That is not the case here, I get an error message when trying to post, and
    user is not logged in, and his email do not exists in database. I've
    synchronized campsite and phorum users, didnt do anything, shoud I restart
    campsite or the effect should be immediate?

  • Hi, I just remembered I solved this issue once:
    http://www.nabble.com/FW:-Comments-feature-doesn't-work-td13272873.html

    in above mentioned case the problem was caused by records in campsite
    Users table. Older version has no protection and allowed user to have
    any email. It was even possible to have the same email for multiple
    users. And there is a problem. After some upgrades comments started to
    require single email address per user and this error was displayed due
    to existence of email duplicities.

    My solution of the problem was simple. I modified all emails in users
    database to use email that has no duplicity and performed user sync to
    phorum.

    That fixed the problem.

  • Ondra, that fixed the problem again Smile . I've tracked down and eliminated
    duplicates, did the sync, and now comments work. Thank you very much guys,
    hope I didn't bother you too much Wink

  • Hi Vukan,

    try this:
    - backup your database
    - delete all the entries in phorum_users table
    - run "Users -> Synchronize Campsite and Phorum Users" in the admin area

    test again and let us know how it goes, thanks!

  • Nice to hear that. How about that knowledge base known as Campsite manual?
    A comment in the upgrade area would be most helpful, if not an outright
    editing of the upgrade section of the manual.

    In any case, thanks for the helpful feedback.

  • Not really, they get incorporated in the manual eventually, and plus that's
    the first place many people look first for info. At least you'll know it's
    there Smile

  • Hi Vukan,

    Please rewrite:
    /admin-files/comments/index.php
    with the attached file.

    It was a bug we fixed to 2.6.9 but wasnt committed to 2.7 and 3.0

    Thanks for reported it.
