Proiblems with Templater after datamager thread post

[ETS|LuucEarth]

Im creating a custom Post-Registration Application system for our use.

On submit all the info is stored in custom profile fields, A post is made with the information in our application review forum.

However Im having a problem with the Template in this system.

If I render the template before the post the post doesnt happen.
If I render the template after the post, the render doesnt happen. IE Blank white page
$threaddm = new vB_DataManager_Thread_FirstPost($vbulletin, ERRTYPE_STANDARD);
$threaddm->set_info('forum',$foruminfo);
$threaddm->set_info('user', $vbulletin->userinfo);
$threaddm->set('forumid', $forumid);
$threaddm->set('userid', 197);
$threaddm->set('title', $threadtitle);
$threaddm->set('pagetext', $formoutput);
$threaddm->set('open', TRUE);
$threaddm->set('allowsmilie', TRUE);
$threaddm->set('visible', TRUE);
$threaddm->pre_save();
$threadid = $threaddm->save();
unset($threaddm);
build_thread_counters($threadid);
build_forum_counters($forumid);


$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits);
$navbar = render_navbar_template($navbits);
$templater = vB_Template::create('ets_tester_application_submit ');
$templater->register_page_templates();
$templater->register('navbar', $navbar);
foreach($userdata as $key=>$value){
$templater->register($key,$value);
}
print_output($templater->render());


Anyone have any ideas on this?

[kh99]

Well, the reason you don't see the post if you render first is because print_output() exits the script, so it doesn't return. Maybe the reason you get a blank page if you render last is because something before it is causing an error, but I don't see offhand what's wrong. If error messages are turned off, maybe you're not seeing the error message?

Edit: if you're seeing the post when you post first, then maybe that means the problem is with one of the build counter functions. Maybe you need to inlcude includes/functions_databuild.php?

This is what I use in my mods to make the post, build the thread counters, and if chosen, update the posters post count..

I found the issue. One of my fellow coders was using $userdata[] in their code globally on a userdata_postsave plugin. This was throwing a fatal error Call to a member function fetch_field() on a non-object I changed my $userdata to $usrdata and the problem went away completely.

However I did notice one other thing in the logs.

I get 10 or so of these

14:49:26 PHP Warning: Illegal offset type in isset or empty in /var/www/dev.elitetestingservices.com/public_html/vb/phrase.php on line 339 error
14:49:26 PHP Warning: Illegal offset type in /var/www/dev.elitetestingservices.com/public_html/vb/phrase.php on line 334

Im calling phrases in part of my code, maybe you can tell me what Ive done wrong

$titles=new vB_Phrase ('cprofilefield',$key.'_title');
$title=vB_Phrase::fetchPhrase($titles,null);


The code works and pulls the data properly but I would love to get rid of the warinings

[kh99]

I'm not familiar with the vB_Phrase class, but looking at the code, it seems that that warning is happening because you're passing null as the second parameter to fetchPhrase(). You say it works so I guess it's OK to do that, but I don't know what that's supposed to do or what you could do instead.

[ETS|LuucEarth]

its a parameters for passing {option} type of things to the phrase. However these phrases do not use them. I could try something else in there I guess I added null to get rid of the Missing 2nd argument warnings

[kh99]

Well, now that I think about it a little more, I really was making a guess. It may not be the null. But I suppose it's easy enough to try.

[kh99]

Oh, yeah, I was being an idiot. I'm pretty sure the problem is really that the first argument should be a string but you're passing the vB_Phrase object. It looks llike the parameters should be the phrase group and the phrasekey, which I believe is the phrase name.

[ETS|LuucEarth]

I believe you are correct after I look at the documentation again.

static fetchPhrase (line 333)
Fetches a rendered phrase.

If the phrase is not in the local phrase cache, then the phrasekey cache is loaded and purged.

return: - The translated phrase
access: public
static string fetchPhrase (string $phrasegroup, string $phrasekey, [array $parameters = array()])
string $phrasegroup:
The phrase group where the phrase is located
string $phrasekey:
The phrasekey of the phrase
array $parameters: mixed - Array of parameters to parse into the phrase


That will teach me to code until 4am lol


***EDIT***

$title=vB_Phrase::fetchPhrase('cprofilefield',$key ."_title", NULL);
That solved the warning Thanks kh99 and Ozzy47 for all the help Product nearly done now!
