Strange form problem - part of the page not parsing/rendering
OK, this is weird. A few days back my blog starting acting strangely. No changes in the forms were made for 6 moths, I only updated from 4.07 to 4.08 this year.
Check this page, for example: http://bobydimitrov.com/mind/458/my-car
Currently, under Firefox, I get the post, the list of comments (13 of them) – and that’s it! No comments form, no footer. Those are missing from the source too. Strangely, under IE8, I get the comments form, but not the footer. There’s some mixup, as the comment preview also does not work as expected (shows the preview but nothing below – no comment form, no comments, no footer.
Again, I have not changed the forms, so I have no idea where to look for the problem and what’s the source of it. Any ideas are welcome!

Re: Strange form problem - part of the page not parsing/rendering
Here are the forms, just in case. The blog uses “default” page and “default” form for displaying the posts.
default page:
<txp:output_form form="section_prefix" />
<txp:output_form form="header" />
<txp:if_section name="">
<h1><txp:site_name /></h1>
<txp:else />
<txp:if_article_list>
<h1><a href="/" title="Към главната страница..."><txp:site_name /></a><span> - сайт на Боби Димитров</span></h1>
</txp:if_article_list>
<txp:if_individual_article>
<h1><a href="/" title="Към главната страница..."><txp:site_name /></a> » <txp:spc_section_alias_link group="1,2" /><span> - сайт на Боби Димитров</span></h1>

<h2>Резултати от търсене</h2>
<p>Ако не намирате това, което търсите, пробвайте с по-малко (или други) думи. Търсачката разграничава малки от главни букви, затова търсене за "веселие" е различно от търсене за "Веселие".</p>

Re: Strange form problem - part of the page not parsing/rendering
- I see extra
</txp:if_section>that should be there (end of default page). - Turn your site’s Status to debugging and look for errors.
- If it doesn’t solve it oossibly post a tag trace

Re: Strange form problem - part of the page not parsing/rendering
Whoooooa, the Debugging status threw a ton of errors! I don’t even know where to begin… Should I post the whole tag trace output?
By the way, should I remove a </txp:if_section> from the default page, or should I add one and where?
EDIT:
OK, removing one of the </txp:if_section> solved the missing comments form/footer problem, seems like that stopped the page from being parsed fully. Although it IS weird how did that happen by itself, as I haven’t edited the forms/pages in a long time…
Now there are two general type of errors in the tag trace. First one is repeated for every comment:
Tag error: <txp:message /> -> Textpattern Notice: tag is deprecated on line 1948And the other is complex and obviously related to a plugin, but I’ll be grateful if any advice is offered:
Tag error: <txp:spc_section_alias ....(i stripped this part as it contains the text values of the tag properties) /> -> Notice: Undefined variable: final_dest on line 46
Notice: Undefined variable: namethis on line 59
Notice: Undefined variable: titlethis on line 75
Notice: Undefined variable: id on line 87
etc etc etc...Last edited by Boby Dimitrov (2009-06-05 12:26:38)

Re: Strange form problem - part of the page not parsing/rendering
txp:message has been replaced by txp:comment_message; make that change in your comments form (Presentation->Forms)

You have updated the TXP install. Well, that is the reason. The new parser is more strict. The errors have most likely always been there, silently waiting for the day ;)

It’s really old plugin with some errorsishes. You could try to fix it by adding those undefined variables as attributes to the tag:
<txp:spc_section_alias namethis="" titlethis="" id=""Edit. jsoo faster with the comment_message thingy.

Or, if the plugin is producing the output you want, you could ignore the “undefined variable” notices (notices not being in the same class as errors/warnings).

Re: Strange form problem - part of the page not parsing/rendering
Oh, I see… Thanks a lot! I’ve replaced the :message with :comment_message and that sorted the error.
Regarding spc_section_alias – I’ve searched and searched and couldn’t find an alternative, something more recent (that one being currently unsupported). Would you happen to know anything suitable? I’ll ignore the notices until I find something to replace the plugin.
ps: Just when I thought everything went back to normal, out popped some mysql errors when I put the blog in Testing mode:
Tag error: <txp:comments_form /> -> Textpattern Warning: MySQL server has gone away
select ip from txp_txp_discuss_ipban where `ip` = '(my ip)' limit 1 on line 82
Tag error: <txp:comments_form /> -> Textpattern Warning: MySQL server has gone away
select Form from txp_txp_form where `name` = 'comment_form' limit 1 on line 82
Tag error: <txp:output_form form="footer" /> -> Textpattern Warning: MySQL server has gone away
select Form from txp_txp_form as txp_form where name='footer' on line 82
Tag error: <txp:output_form form="footer" /> -> Textpattern Notice: Form not found: footer on line 1517Seems like that might have been the original reason for the problem? As this looks like a server side problem, it could explain why the comment field and footer disappeared and are not showing when this error is present…

Re: Strange form problem - part of the page not parsing/rendering
No, but what aspects of it are you using? In general, Txp has picked up a lot of section-related functionality over the years.

Re: Strange form problem - part of the page not parsing/rendering
I’m using it to define custom title, short and long descriptions of each site section. For example, I have a “mind” named section that has a corresponding URL of domain.com/mind/ and shows all posts in that section. For it, I’ve defined a title of (translated) “What’s in my head” and a description of “A collection of random thoughts, personal opinions, rants, etc…”. The title and description show at the top of the category page (domain.com/mind/) and the title is used as a link text in the navigation.

Re: Strange form problem - part of the page not parsing/rendering
I think you could do all this without a plugin. <txp:section /> takes a title attribute to display the section title (as distinct from its name). The descriptions you could hard code into an if_category block, perhaps.

The problem seems to be different (not tag structure errors): http://forum.textpattern.com/viewtopic.php?id=30943
