Author Topic: Shoutbox refresh and page reload discrepancy (Read 104677 times)

I've been following this thread for some time with the same refresh issue.

Figured 2.3.6 would solve the issue, and it appeared to do so for a week after updating (removed 2.3.5 and applied 2.3.6) but I am now experiencing the same issue where the refresh animation shows indefinitely, and the text is only posted once the page is refreshed, basically the same issue. The issue did go away as soon as I upgraded to 2.3.6, but it now is appearing again.

I noticed this issue with 2.3.5 begun once I upgraded my shared hosting from PHP 5.2 to 5.4 which is their default/current version. It generally won't occur with an empty shoutbox but will begin some time later. It may not be the only or exclusive condition but I am definitely having the same issue as claimed fixed with 2.3.6 on my website currently.

Any input would be appreciated...

Agreed... shocked Im seeing this again.

I tested on another webhost and pre-2.3.6 and it seemed fixed. Now on my main website using a clean install of smf 2.0.9 and sp2.3.6 and there are shouts not being shown until page reload.

Latest Firefox to Chrome browser (Admin to user) and the other way.

I do have a lot of mods installed though (30 or so).

It could be related to this: http://simpleportal.net/index.php?topic=13734.msg67892#msg67892 and the following replies, especially #13 and #14. It's a very old topic but also that mod is very old, it can be that one having the bug since its first release.

I get this problem again if a update the PHP version from 5.2 to 5.5.

Also the PHP version 5.4 makes the same problem with the refresh.

Any new how I get fixed this problem?

Many thanks.

PS: see attached error log

I am running PHP 5.5 and never experienced it so it must be something else. Neither I have those errors...
Did you install the... "Guest Registration Notification" mod perhaps? I had to file a security report about it since it was breaking the shoutbox --> ref http://simpleportal.net/index.php?topic=13734.msg67760#msg67760

rentner · « **Reply #85 on:** January 05, 2015, 03:33:10 AM »

No this mod I doesn't know.

I cannot find any other hint as the error message in my attachment.

Hope I fit this problem because no other shoutbox is so comfortable as this one form SimplePortal.

Is there any funtional shoutbox that I can use as long as I sruch the fault? Please advice.

♦ Ninja ZX-10RR ♦ · « **Reply #86 on:** January 05, 2015, 08:06:50 AM »

Well I guess someone can convert that function into the preg_replace_callback, personally I can't do it because the syntax changes and I'm not a php coder.
It is still strange that it doesn't happen on my forum even though the php version I am using is the 5.5 one...
Probably Underdog or SiNaN or any other coder will be converting those strings to fix it for you...

However in the meantime I let you know that I personally tried any other existing shoutbox for smf and they all suck bananas compared to this one... The one that looks barely decent (smfpacks one) has a terrific number of bugs and issues that discourage me from suggesting it, really. Neonneo's one is full of undefined indexes and bugs, moreover bad coding since its css is called even though the shoutbox is disabled... Any other one is really bad IMHO. SiNaN did an awesome job with this one, it's missing just a few features that I requested (for instance the permission to edit messages) but except that it rocks.

EDIT: P.s.: Underdog=Chen Zhen I mistakenly used the previous username...

rentner,

Perform this edit...

file: ../Sources/PortalBlocks.php

find:

Code: [Select]

	$data = preg_replace('~<\!\[CDATA\[(.+?)\]\]>~e' . ($context['utf8'] ? 'u' : ''), '\'#cdata_escape_encode#\' . $smcFunc[\'htmlspecialchars\'](\'$1\')', $data);

replace with:

Code: [Select]

        $data = preg_replace_callback('~<\!\[CDATA\[(.+?)\]\]>~' . ($context['utf8'] ? 'u' : ''), function($m) {return "#cdata_escape_encode#" . htmlspecialchars($m[1]);}, $data);

Regards.

@ Ninja ZX-10RR - I'm absulutely agree with you.

@ Chen Zhen - Thank you so much - now the errors are away from the log file.

But the problem that the shoutbox do not refresh automatily, only if the page is loaded new, is still there.

Chen Zhen · « **Reply #89 on:** January 06, 2015, 05:13:20 PM »

rentner,

Edit the shoutbox settings (not the block) and set the refresh time to approx. 10 or 12 seconds.

Regards.

rentner · « **Reply #90 on:** January 07, 2015, 02:50:59 AM »

I have done this and I see the the circuit is running after the time but the shout do not appear.

andy · « **Reply #91 on:** January 07, 2015, 11:14:10 PM »

This is a never ending topic...

I did do a short test for SP 2.3.6 release and it was working fine. This was with a clean install of SMF with no mods and no custom theme.

Perhaps some themes or mods are making trouble. It is best to test a clean install of SMF and S.Portal on your server (new database - not your site one, no mods, no custom theme). See if that works.

Then we know if its server related or mod/theme problem.

♦ Ninja ZX-10RR ♦ · « **Reply #92 on:** January 08, 2015, 02:31:59 AM »

Good point... If the theme is using AJAX calls or javascript it may break the shoutbox refresh, too.

rentner · « **Reply #93 on:** January 08, 2015, 03:09:39 AM »

Thanks for the answers.

I just make a new installation on a second domain with the SMF 2.1 Beta for testing.

I will install the SP on this domain too, maybe it function with this version also.

rentner · « **Reply #94 on:** January 08, 2015, 04:04:28 AM »

Just I installed the SP 2.3.6 on the quit new SMF 2.1 Beta software and unfortunately the same problem with no automatic refresh.

Seem that it is the web space (server) software.

♦ Ninja ZX-10RR ♦ · « **Reply #95 on:** January 08, 2015, 06:47:56 AM »

Such a bad version IMHO... Besides I don't know how much the Portal is compatible with the newest 2.1...
It could be useful if you could duplicate your forum onto another server by another host, possibly with the same php version... You don't need to import the database

SeeingBlue · « **Reply #96 on:** January 14, 2015, 09:43:30 AM »

I am also having this issue. It used to work fine then something changed. The circle just churns and doesn't update until you refresh the page. Doesn't matter the browser. My auto-fresh is set to 12, and doesn't matter whether cache is on or off.

I did install a fresh copy of SMF 2.0.9 and SP 2.3.6. This worked fine, so it's not hosting related.

While monitoring the console I do see this error ever 12 seconds:

Quote

junk after document element
index.php:5
TypeError: XMLDoc.getElementsByTagName(...)[0] is undefined

portal.js:104

Installed Mods include:

Code: [Select]

Downloads System 2.1a

Country Flags 2.1
Simple Audio Video Embedder 3.0.2
SimplePortal 2.3.6
Add Social Media Icons To Profiles 1.2.0

I hope this was helpful.

I can't believe it but I have fixed this problem.

The problem was the font set.

I have transfered the font set to UTF-8 and now the box is refreshing automaticly again.

I'am very happy to had have solved this problem now.

andy · « **Reply #98 on:** January 17, 2015, 04:43:36 AM »

The theme font?

rentner · « **Reply #99 on:** January 17, 2015, 06:17:18 AM »

The language font set.
