As it states on the error log panel of the forum – these are not errors. They are notices and while a nuisance – not actually harmful or a problkem.

We deal with them when we find them but really they are a result of php being what I would call a little ‘picky’.

You should be able to get rid of that one by visiting the forum admin > components > seo panel – and just clicking on the update button at the bottom. I believe that will stop those particular notices.

Thanks

But I’m concerned  about this php_errorlog in main directory :

How can I solve  this problem?

Thanks again

The error log should really be there. It is one of the most useful diagnostic tools you have available. Where it  resides can be set in your php ini file – which in most cases needs to be done by your hosting support who can also remove it totally if you so wish although they may not want that.

Yes but I don’t understand the reason for that error when it shouldn’t be there.
As I said that error was triggered when I installed the latest version.

As you may appreciate that file it get bigger and bigger and it well reach large size.

If this problem ca not be resolved can I go back to the previous version without loosing post?

As matter the fact the error in that file is not related any longer to Undefined index:  sfkeywords

now is:

[20-Dec-2013 05:10:58] PHP Notice:  Undefined index:  topicname

Thanks

As I have already said  these are not errors. They are common notices and everybody gets them. And they will not all be related to SP either. Running a website does involve some housekeeping. Clearing logs, optimising databases etc., are all tasks that should be performed regularly.

You can also probably ask your host to turn off the recording of notices. At least I believe that is the case.

Yes – you can always go back to a previous version but you will need to downgrade the core plugin and all SP plugins and restore the database to the correct pre-upgrade version.

As to the notices – further information should be available in the SP Error Log in the toolbox. That will usually tell you where the notice is emanating from. Sometimes – as with sfKeyWords – it is just a matter of opening and updating an admin panel and initialising values. These values are initialised when installed but php can be picky about them as I said before.

yes, if you report the notice (not error) from the sp error log, which will include the location it happens, then we can ensure that take steps to remove the nuisance notices…

Yesterday this notice:
[20-Dec-2013 05:10:58] PHP Notice:  Undefined index:  topicname
with about 35 listings in that file;
Today I removed that file 6 times and 5 times re-appeared.
Currently in not there.

Our web hosting provider so far they couldn’t see why, they are still investigating.

Thanks

I really do not know what more you expect us to say. I repeat – everyone has a php error log file (unless the host has turned it off which is very unusual, and very unhelpful. And as I also said – you could ask them to stop recording the nuisance notices. I do not know what your host is supposed to be ‘investigating’.

As Mr Papa said above – and I have already said earlier – we will get rid of them when they are bought to iout attention. But as I said before – I need the details from the SP toolbox Error Log, not the server log, to enable me to check on those.

I am really not quite sure what you are so worked up about to be honest!

I’m not worked out at all, I simply notified this nuisance to this forum, mentioning the fact this error and this IS AN ERROR, caused after installing the latest upgrade.

Notice | Use of undefined constant PMIMAGES – assumed ‘PMIMAGES’

Your attention to the above is much appreciate

you still dont get the difference between an error and a notice…  even the php output log info says it ‘Notice | Use of undefined…’

and the are harmless… if you dont want them, stop logging them via settings in your php.ini file…

thanks for the list – will add to our general cleanup ticket for the next version and clean them up (a couple have already been handled)….

Can you also verify which version of Simple:Press you are on??? some of those line numbers do not make sense…
