Title: Possible Bug - SPStandalone.php
Post by: JBlaze on June 25, 2009, 08:46:14 PM

The other day, I was fiddling around with Standalone Mode, and I couldn't get it to work. I tried all angles, still no dice...

So here's what I did.

ETA: Using SP 2.2.2 and SMF 2.0 RC1-1

Forum located at http://dev.smfchat.com/forum (no longer there, was for testing purposes...)

Placed SPStandalone.php in http://dev.smfchat.com/SPStandalone.php

Renamed SPStandalone.php to index.php

Edited file like so:

Code: (find) [Select]

// Should be the full path!
$forum_dir = 'full/path/to/forum';

Code: (replace) [Select]

// Should be the full path!
$forum_dir = '/home/****/public_html/smfchat/dev/forum';
Left all this intact:

Code: [Select]

// Yeah, I'm amazing! :P
$forum_version = 'SMF';

// Call the SSI magic.
require_once($forum_dir . '/SSI.php');

// Re-initialize SP.
sportal_init(true);

// Get the page ready.
sportal();

// Here we go!
obExit(true);
Now, in AdminCP, under SimplePortal, I set SP to Standalone. Also set the full URL to SPStandalone.php (index.php) which was http://dev.smfchat.com/index.php

I also tried using the path to SPStandalone.php (index.php) which was /home/****/public_html/smfchat/dev/index.php

Mind you, I spent about an hour on this, trying all possible variations to try and get it to work. No dice.

The result I always got was just a blank index.php

If you require more info, such as server specs, etc, I will be more than happy to provide them.

(This post was requested by Eliana, concluding the chat in IRC.)

Regards,
JB

What do you mean by blank index.php? A white page or SMF layout without blocks?

See if this works:

Code: (Find) [Select]

$forum_dir = '/home/****/public_html/smfchat/dev/forum';

Code: (Replace) [Select]

$forum_dir = dirname(__FILE__) . '/forum';
Standalone URL should be: http://dev.smfchat.com/index.php

Yeah, it was just a blank white page. Nothing to it.

I'll try that now.

Nope. Still getting a blank white page.

Fixed. The issue was probably $forum_dir was not set correctly, resulting in SSI.php not to be included.

You can check the modified file and remove the FTP account too.
