I've discovered the Twitter Profile widget is incompatible with at least 7.3.1 (upgrade already yada yada ;)). There appears to be some conflicting js between that and the icons in the post reply panel. Specifically the icon and img insert buttons. If I work on a solution I'll be sure to post it, but it will likely involve a modified ubb file.

yep, this was a fix that had to be patched into 7.5.6

original 7.5.6 has same problem

I'm running 7.5.3 and was wondering if this fix can be made available? I recently added a twitter widget and found it breaks the full reply editor buttons.

If I can remember I will post a fix tonight. It's just a matter of changing the scope of a few ubb js variables.

Thanks! Will look forward to your reply!

Well. I know what the problem is, I just can't figure out what is causing it.

standard_text_editor.js:29 TypeError: Result of expression 'get_object(menus[i])' [null] is not an object.

i is being set to "filter" somehow. I've looked at the twitter code and can't figure it out, but I'm not a ninja. Maybe SD or Gizmo can take a crack.

cascadeclimbers, so you have a fix for it, but don't remember what the fix was? Can you not compare your files with the baseline version to identify any changes? Was the fix confined to standard_text_editor.js, or do you not recall?

Thanks for your response so far, and if SirDude or Gizmo have something further to offer, then that would be hugely appreciated!

Sorry if I wasn't clear. I knew/know what the problem is and what is causing it, but I couldn't figure where in the Twitter code it is doing so. Sounds like SD might have already figured it out previously so I'll wait for him to chime in.

OK, thanks again.

SirDude, any comment?

i can't remember what i did to fix it

i know it wasn't a big deal, once found...

if i saw the problem site, maybe it would jog my memory

The "problem site" can be seen at http://virtuafighter.com

well i get a DB error right off the bat. can't even see the site

If the site was/is down, it's only temporary (less than a minute) as I'm experiencing high server loads recently. If you don't mind looking again it would be appreciated.

FWIW, it's still down...

yup.. tried again here, same thing

I find that really odd! I've been on the site pretty much all weekend (two large tournaments being live streamed both days of the weekend) and it has been more or less ticking along just fine.

If it was ever unavailable, it couldn't have been more than 30 seconds or so. For you both to come back and say that you can't access the site just sounds so strange. At the time of this post it's certainly running (screenshot attached because I'm paranoid).

I got the db error just now as well, when I refreshed I saw the site.

i'd say the error always happens for guests ( non logged in peeps ).. since it is down for me consistently

actually never been UP at all for me

Still down for me, as of 9:07am PDT; which is about half an hour after SD reported it down for him...

So yes, I agree with his opinion that it just doesn't work for guests...

Try logging out and see if you get the same error when trying to browse. You can turn on error reporting to the browser by editing libs/mysql.inc.php and changing:


To:


And it'll spew the error out to anyone trying to load the page; then we can determine the issue (be sure to set it back once fixed).

Another option is to turn on error logging in the control panel; but then we wouldn't be able to see the error.

http://virtuafighter.com/forums/ubbthreads.php <-- seems to work

so dunno what you have for a redirector in the root..

I'm getting the same error on that link as well on occasion; refreshing seems to fix it; so I'm not sure...

Ditto here, Giz.

No fancy redirects, it's just the ubb portal!? My root index.php is literally:

So I tried logging out, deleted all browser cache/temp files and hit the site again -- and it's fine?

Note that I'm not doubting any of you, it's just that I find it really strange you're seeing that standard UBB.t db error. Isn't that usually a result of mysql misbehaving?

And all I wanted was to fix the stupid conflict with the Twitter widget!

wow weird... I got the DB error the first time I tried to log in.... the second time I got to the site just fine..

Dunny

I just tried it again, from a different computer, with the same result... DB error. Clicking the refresh button brought the site up.

At the risk of derailing this thread, does anyone have a possible explanation for the DB error? I honestly cannot remember the last time I saw it.

As I said before, you'll need to get the full error message; you'll have to either turn mysql logging on or modify the libs/mysql.inc.php file.

i consistently get that error too.. it's not a hit/miss deal.

I've turned on $showerror in libs/mysql.inc.php so it'll be interesting to see what you guys get.

you have a crashed ubbt_REFERRER_LOG table

needs repairing

Thanks for that, the table is now repaired. I wonder why I never got the DB error though?

Anyway, with that (hopefully) out of the way, perhaps now you can recall the fix to the editor and twitter widget issue?

If this helps with recalling the fix, the following is the error reported by the javascript console in Chrome, also shown with attached screenshot:

standard_text_editor.js:29 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'style' of null

and the referenced code snippet:

Is there any chance that someone out there recalls the fix for this?

When I compare ubb_jslib.js and text_editor.js between 7.5.3 (my version) and 7.5.6 (this site), I find there are no differences?

Can you recall where the patch was applied? I'm more than happy to run the diffs and apply the fix myself.
