Upgrade 2.7->2.8

[Horst_TPM]

I upgraded from 2.7.9 to 2.8.2 successfully.
Everything seems to be fine, but articles are not shown if there is any (only one) entry in the glossary ('timeout?)
If I exclude the call of 'PMF_String::preg_replace_callback' in the 'insertItemsIntoContent' (...\inc\PFM\Glossary.hpp)
the articles are shown.
php 5.3.8
Did I miss any configuration step?
Thanks and best regards.

hi, test all glossary entries on evil characters (e.g. & % etc.) and utf-8 in the admin-section, check the database is utf8-encoded.
When in doubt, simply edit all entries
hope it helps

Hi,

the database characterset was already UTF-8 in 2.7.

Thanks for the hint with one glossary item! This is a good hint. Do you have only one glossary item in that FAQ and then it crashes?

Hi all,
thanks for the speedy response.
I added a second entry, and I edited the existing entry (removed all special characters) .
Unfortunately the same behaviour.
P.S.
It's a local installation on a XAMPP 1.7.7
Thanks and best regards

Hi,
some more information:
When I trigger the 'Online version check' in the administration/dashboard I don't get negative (any) response.
But when I trigger the 'Online verification check' I get the response:
'phpMyFAQ version mismatch - no verification possible'.
Any idea how to get more detailed information concerning this 'mismatch'?
Thanks and best regards
Horst

Hi,

is your FAQ connected to the internet? If not, it won't work.

Hi Thorsten,
as I'm not a technician, I cannot answer your question definitely.
Generally, the PC my FAQ is running on, has access to the internet.
I hope this is only relevant for the 'online verification check', and not for the glossary problem?

Thanks and best regards

Hi,

so it's running on a Windows PC? Then you can fix this issue by updating to the latest version of XAMPP.

Hi,
yes, it's a WINDOWS-7 installation.

I de-installed the old XAMPP 1.7.7.
I Installed the new XAMPP 1.8.3.
I Installed (no update) phpMyFaq 2.8.2.
I specified a new 'FAQ-Site ' with one category, one article and three glossary entries.
Unfortunately the same behaviour:
The article is only shown if I comment the
$content = PMF_String::preg_replace_callback(....)

call in the insertItemsIntoConten function of the ...PFM\Glossary.php
(Whether a glossary item is referenced or not)
Any idea appreciated.

Thanks an d best regards
Horst

Hi,

which language do you use? I have the same configuration on a Windows 7 VM and it works.

Hi,
I've tried English and German, same behaviour.
Then I did some experiments ( like a blind chicken ) and
deleted the 'PFM_STRING::'
in the call: '$content = PMF_String::preg_replace_callback(...)' of
'public function insertItemsIntoContent($content = '')' in the module '...\PFM\Glossary.php'

After that it works!

Thanks and best regards

Hi,

I'll check it once again but it's hard to find something when I cannot reproduce it even if I use the same versions. Is it possible to get a copy of your database?

Hi Thorsten,
of course!
What exactly do you need, and what's the procedure?
If you prefer to contact me directly: Horst.Stoecke@ptvgroup.com
