1.2.5 to 1.2.8 - Graphical Text mod not working

leoff · Post by **leoff** » Thu 21. Sep 2006, 08:40

The GT mod worked fine under 1.2.5 but when I upgraded it is no longer functioning. I tried to manually reinstall but the installation read me mentions file lines in phpwcms.php that do not exist. What am I missing?

The mod section of the admin panel shows the mod, but nothing happens when I click on it except that the credit lines dissappear.

Can't seem to find a way to reinstall. Can someone point me in the right direction?

You have all 1.2.8 patches installed?

No. I just downloaded the latest version, 1.2.8 from a link on your site. I thought it was the latest. What patches do I need? Where do I get them.

hi leoff,

have a look here:
http://www.phpwcms.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11933

and this one sems to be the latest version including patches a-g:
http://www.phpwcms.org/release/20060905 ... _1.2.8.zip

This is the version I installed. I did not install patch G because I thought the latest version included it. Do I need to install patch G in addition to 20060905_phpwcms_1.2.8.zip?

First, one of the lines I had to add to phpwcms.php had a "./" address. So, I took out the . and tried again.

When I try to open a page with graphical text on it I get:

Warning: cannot yet handle MBCS in html_entity_decode()! in
/home/virtual/site3/fst/var/www/html/include/inc_module/mod_graphical_text/inc_front/gt.func.inc.php on line 184

Line 184 is as follows:
$text = html_entity_decode($text, ENT_QUOTES, $GLOBALS['phpwcms']["charset"]);

I remember reading something on the forum about "charset" in version 1.2.8 causing some problems.

Could this be the source of my problem? Any suggestions?

I think the GT mode is missing the charset iso at conf.inc.php

Check your PHP version first:

Which charset do you use?

that seems to be true, because I've had the same problem, but

Code: Select all

$phpwcms['charset']           = 'iso-8859-1';

(instead of utf) got it running!

No luck. Changed the charset to 'iso-8859-1' but I still get the same warning. I will check to see what version of php my server is running.

Thanks for all of the suggestions. I am still open for more ideas.

Ok, I had changed the wrong charset (db). I just changed it back to 'utf8' and then changed the correct one at line 66

$phpwcms['charset'] = 'iso-8859-1';

Now it works! Thanks so much everyone.

The discussion behind the link provided by oliver g. revealed a "bug" in the 4.3.x php version (I'm still running 4.3.3). So what about upgrading the whole thing? Are there any unresolvable dependencies with suse 9?

Post by **Oliver Georgi** » Thu 21. Sep 2006, 21:32

I really don't know. But for Suse there might be a newer PHP RPM available.

I did get the graphical text I had loaded under 1.2.5 to show, but the mod does does not show in the Module section of the Admin area. My guess is I need to reinstall it, but I can't seem to find how to do that.

Can someone point me in the right direction?
