You maybe forgot to add the rpc folder when updating textpattern?

kees-b is right. I very much doubt it has anything to do with smd_lib not being able to handle the regexes. It’s very odd and I’m stumped right now, sorry. If I think of anything I’ll shout.

Verrrrry strange! It’s Textpattern 4.0.7 … and there has to be an rpc folder (whatever that is!) indeed … but it isn’t on the old server … !? … so it isn’t either at the new one (just copy and paste!). On the old server it didn’t cause any problem nor gave it errors. On the new server there are no problems (everything is working ok!) but it does give errors in test mode … !?

Putting the rpc folder on the new server doesn’t help a bit … !? … eh, well, the diagnostics are ok now >

But the error message stays >

Hehe, it won’t because you’re not using RPC — and nor am I. It was added in 4.0.7 and became part of the default TXP download. Just make sure it’s there and the diagnostics will stop complaining (as you found out!)

Maybe someone else has some idea why you are getting the PCRE error. I would guess it’s not compiled into your version of PHP for some reason. Can you temporarily put this either in your default form, or in a new article (with Leave text untouched set):

<txp:php>
phpinfo();
</txp:php>

Then view the article and look for the section in that output that starts pcre. Check it’s enabled and let me know the library version if so.

Thanks. I think the answer is fairly simple. Version 4.5 is hellishly old (December 2003!)

Unicode was only added to PCRE from v5.0 onwards, so it’s down to your host not supporting it. You could try asking them to upgrade the PCRE version they have on their server in the /usr directory (it looks like they’ve compiled PHP using with-pcre-regex=/usr). Failing that, change smd_lib. Find line 63 that reads:

$modRE = ($lax) ? '/(\?|\!)([\p{L}\p{N}\p{Pc}\p{Pd}\p{Zs}]+)/' : '/(\?|\!)([\p{L}\p{N}\p{Pc}\p{Pd}]+)/' ;

and change it to:

$modRE = ($lax) ? '/(\?|\!)([A-Za-z0-9_\- ]+)/' : '/(\?|\!)([A-Za-z0-9_\-]+)/' ;

And just avoid non-ascii characters in your categories/custom fields.

Thanks. I’ve asked the ISP. We’ll see!

[edit]
Reply of the ISP … something like (translated!):

“Sorry, but we won’t, because such a process (compiling!) influences the whole server infrastructure.”

I’m a small(!) client … a sign to move on I think!

Fair enough; it seems you’re not alone. Perhaps sticking with such an old version of PCRE is standard practice? Maybe I’m just one of the lucky few hosts that has a more up-to-date PCRE.

Regardless, now I know this is a potential problem and is more widespread than I thought, I’ll see if I can find out how to get round it. Perhaps I can test PCRE support somehow and fall back on the ‘old’ ASCII version if Unicode is not compiled in. I’ll see what I can do, thanks for the report.

EDIT: done in smd_lib v0.36 | compressed. Anyone using v0.35, please upgrade.

ok this thread is huge and while interesting to look over, hard to extrapolate some info I’m looking for. Basically I am wondering if I can use this plug in with JQuery library rather than mootools?

Sorry i know this is probably a total newb question, i’m just getting lost in this thread.

Thanks!

Yes you can :-)

There are a few specific instances of jquery-based lightboxy things that you can have a look at. With this plugin you apply the usual 3-step approach to get it all working:

include jquery on your page
include the lightbox-specific js library/css file(s) on your page
call smd_slimbox with the desired attributes as given in the docs of your chosen lightbox implementation

Herrrmm. ok…Well I have this in my head part of my page:

and this in a form called gallery:

….it displays the thumbs fine, but the slimbox doesn’t fire. Am I doing something wrong? You can have a look here: http://work.nadinelessio.com/eric2k9/build/illustration (ignore the bad display i haven’t styled the thumbs yet…:) )

sorry for the questions. I’m just sifting a lot but nothing is getting trapped in the sifter, y’know? Any suggestions would be really appreciated.

Ummm, that’s smd_gallery syntax. The replacement variables don’t work in smd_slimbox, as it’s a much simpler plugin with limited output scope :-)

LOL….no wonder it didn’t work. Thanks.

Mental note, when you are forgetting what plugin you are using, its time to go have a tea and get away from the machine. :)

great set of plugins btw.

Hello,
I tried to find the answer to my query by searching the TXP Textbook and by browsing this thread but as it is massive I am going to dare to ask away…

1. The site in question is http://onionboy.ca/blog/
2. The template I am using is Palpable http://browser.textplates.com/index.php?id=30 though that’s probably not that relevant
3. Preferences, Production Status is set to debugging
4. The following Tag Error messages are displayed in relation to slimbox.

>>>THIS ONE REMAINS UNSOLVED<<<
Tag error: <txp:smd_slimbox wraptag=“li” orderby=“date:desc” category=”!articles” groupname=“gallery” limit=“30” libcheck=“0” /> -> Textpattern Notice: Unknown tag attribute: libcheck on line 649

textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php:649 trigger_error()
textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php(570) : eval()’d code:75 lAtts()
textpattern/publish.php:1090 smd_slimbox()
textpattern/publish.php:1012 processTags()
textpattern/publish/taghandlers.php:3039 parse()
textpattern/publish.php:1090 if_section()
textpattern/publish.php:1025 processTags()
textpattern/publish.php:496 parse()
index.php:33 textpattern()

UPDATE: THIS ONE IS SOLVED – SEE NOTE IN MY FOLLOW UP POST
Tag error: <txp:smd_slimbox wraptag=“li” orderby=“date:desc” category=”!articles” groupname=“gallery” limit=“30” libcheck=“0” /> -> Textpattern Notice: ‘orderby’ is now renamed ‘sort’. Use a space instead of a colon to specify sort order (e.g. orderby=‘category:asc’ is now sort=‘category asc’). on line 81

textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php(570) : eval()’d code:81 trigger_error()
textpattern/publish.php:1090 smd_slimbox()
textpattern/publish.php:1012 processTags()
textpattern/publish/taghandlers.php:3039 parse()
textpattern/publish.php:1090 if_section()
textpattern/publish.php:1025 processTags()
textpattern/publish.php:496 parse()
index.php:33 textpattern()

That’s it. I do not know how or where to proceed to make the necessary corrections. Any help is most appreciated.

Well, I just impressed myself. I solved one of the two tag errors. For the benefit of others who may have the same problem the solution for the second Tag Error shown in my previous post is to go to Pages, default, and that’s where you will find the error and be able to edit and save. I don’t know why it occurred to me to begin looking in the Pages but I did and was rewarded.

Now, I still need help on the first of the Tag Errors:
Tag error: <txp:smd_slimbox wraptag=“li” orderby=“date:desc” category=”!articles” groupname=“gallery” limit=“30” libcheck=“0” /> -> Textpattern Notice: Unknown tag attribute: libcheck on line 649

UPDATE
I found the above Tag Error located on the ‘default’ page. It’s actually another part of the same lines of code where the other error was. However, there is no instruction in this Tag error notice so I don’t know how to proceed.

Any help is much appreciated.
