HELP NEEDED Error array_merge()

[jbrnz]

I can't figure out why I'm receiving the message below. I did do some changes to my tables through phpmyadmin, and made a small change to the view record template. Now everything works, but when I go to view the record I receive the error, and no view of the record is available.

Code: Select all

PHP Warning:  array_merge() [<a>function.array-merge</a>]: Argument #1 is not an array in /home/rpi/www/rpinet.com/dataface/Dataface/ConfigTool.php on line 198,

Here is the line from the configtool.php

Code: Select all

if ( strpos($entry, '>') !== false ){
                  list($newentry,$entryParent) = explode('>', $entry);
                  $this->config[$type][$tablename][trim($newentry)] = array_merge($this->config[$type][$tablename][trim($entryParent)],$config[$entry]);
               } else {
                  $this->config[$type][$tablename][$entry] =& $config[$entry];
               }
               
            }

Looks like the problem is likely in your actions.ini file. You are likely overriding an action that doesn't exist yet. (most likely because of a typo).

Hi Steve,
Thank you for the direction. I have not setup any actions in the app. It must be using the default actions.ini. I am using this as an entry form.

I will dig for typos and see if I can fix the problem. If I find out what the problem is I will post the solution.

[shannah]

I must be wrong then.. it wouldn't be the default one.

It is almost certainly a problem with one of the ini files though. Look through and see if you have any sections containing the '>' character. That is what it is complaining about.

Still have not been able to find out why the record view is not working as Admin or as a regular user. I have a separate app that works fine so I know it is in this app's directory. I have looked through and it does not appear the .ini files are the problem. I have setup the applications delegate as follows:

Code: Select all

class conf_ApplicationDelegate {   
    function getPermissions(&$record){
         $auth =& Dataface_AuthenticationTool::getInstance();
         $user =& $auth->getLoggedInUser();
            if ( !isset($user) ) return Dataface_PermissionsTool::READ_ONLY();
      }
           function getPreferences(){
         $app =& Dataface_Application::getInstance();
         $auth =& Dataface_AuthenticationTool::getInstance();
         $user =& $auth->getLoggedInUser();
         if ( $user && isAdmin($user->val('role')) ){
            return array();
         
         } else {
            return array(
               'show_result_stats'=>0,
               'show_jump_menu'=>0,
               'show_result_controller'=>0,
               'show_table_tabs'=>0,
               'show_actions_menu'=>0,
               'show_tables_menu'=>0,
               'show_search'=>0,
               'show_record_actions'=>0,
               'show_recent_records_menu'=>0,
               'show_record_tabs'=>0,
               'show_record_tree'=>0,
               'show_bread_crumbs'=>0);
         
         }
         }
}



I have made a couple changes to dataface_view_record and replaced a block in my table delegate.

table delegate:

Code: Select all

class tables_registrations {
   function after_action_new($params=array()){
       $record =& $params['record'];
       header('Location: '.$record->getURL('-action=view').'&--msg='.urlencode('Record Saved.'));
       exit;
      }
   function block__before_new_record_form(){
      echo <<<END
      
      <h1>Parish Resource Directory 2010</h1>
      <p>To place a listing for your company or organization fill in the form below.</p>
      <p><img></p>
END;
      
   }
   
   function block__custom_stylesheets(){
   
      echo <<<END
      <link>
END;
   function after_action_new(){
      $auth =& Dataface_AuthenticationTool::getInstance();
      $user =& $auth->getLoggedInUser();
      
      if ( !$user ){
         // The user is not logged in so we forward to a success page.
         header('Location: success.php');
         exit;
      }
   }
   }
}
?>

This page was setup using the example on the forum for registrations I adapted it from that. I notice I have put multiple after_action_new functions in this delegate could this be the problem? I also realize that I have not setup a success.php file at the end of the table delegate. Would this have any impact on the error I am receiving when the record is submitted? I can't think of what else would be causing this error. It would be easy to just start over with the app. however I would like to find out what I have done wrong. If you have any additional ideas to go after let me know.

Thanks

The fact that it is the config tool complaining, and seeing where it is complaining, I can pretty much guarantee that the problem lay in an ini file.

Not in the xataface ini files, but in one of your app's ini files.

[jbrnz]

Well I would absolutely take your word for it, so I deconstructed the field.ini file and everything work out just fine until I got to putting the various field groups together.

[fieldgroup:contact_info]
label="Your contact Infomration"
description = "Enter your contact information"

[fieldgroup:listing_info]
label="Information to be listed"
description = "Enter Company information below"
order = 0

Once I place the fields in the appropriate group they disappear. Any suggetions as to how to make them available in view?

[shannah]

Those fieldgroup definitions look fine. What version of php are you using? 5.3 contains a bug with the parse_ini_file function.

What does the rest of your fields.ini file look like?

[jbrnz]

Last time I looked i was using php 5.9

Here is the complete fields.ini with fieldgroup.

[registrantid]
visibility:list=hidden
visibility:find=hidden
visibility:browse=hidden
group=listing_info

[first_name]
widget:label = "First and Last Name"
widget:description = "will not show in directory listing"
group=contact_info

[last_name]
widget:label = "Phone"
widget:description = "will not show in directory listing"
group=contact_info

[email]
widget:label = "E-mail"
widget:description = "will not show in directory listing"
group=contact_info

[company]
widget:label = "Company Name"
widget:description = "Enter company name"
group=listing_info

[phone]
widget:label = "Company Phone"
widget:description = "Enter company phone"
group=listing_info

[fax]
widget:label = "Company Fax"
widget:description = "- optional -"
group=listing_info

[website]
widget:label = "Company Website"
widget:description = "Enter company website address"
group=listing_info

[companyemail]
widget:label = "Company Email"
widget:description = "Enter the contact email for your company"
group=listing_info

[address]
widget:label = "Company Address"
widget:description = "Enter the street address"
widget:type=textarea
group=listing_info

[company_profile]
widget:label = "Company Profile"
widget:description = "Company profile, medium, mission."
widget:type=textarea
group=listing_info

[merchandise]
widget:label = "Merchandise Handled"
widget:description = "products, services, events, authors, free materials, etc."
widget:type=textarea
group=listing_info

[category]
widget:label = "Category of services offered"
widget:type = "select"
vocabulary = "category"
group=listing_info

[area_of_interest_other]
widget:label = "Other"
widget:description = "If you selected other in the previous menu, please enter your category here."
group=listing_info

[withlogo]
widget:label = "Select to Include Logo"
widget:description = "If you select to include a company logo upload it in the following menu item."
group=listing_info

[logo]
Type = container
widget:type = file
allowed_extensions = jpg,tiff,png,pdf
widget:label = "Company Logo"
widget:description = "Add your company logo to your listing. Excepted formats .tiff,.jpg,.png,.pdf"
group=listing_info

[registration_date]
widget:type = hidden
group=listing_info

[fieldgroup:contact_info]
label="Your contact Infomration"
description = "Enter your contact information"

[fieldgroup:listing_info]
label="Information to be listed"
description = "Enter Company information below"
order = 0

Try moving your fieldgroup definitions to the top of your fields.ini file.

[jbrnz]

I tried placing the fieldgroup definitions at the top of fields.ini file, but again it makes the fields disappear from view once the record has been saved. Once I remove the fieldgroup definitions the fields appear again in view.

Is it possible to asign fieldgroup definitions in the table delegate instead of the fields.ini?

[shannah]

Can you confirm your version of PHP again. I wasn't aware that 5.9 existed.

[jbrnz]

Hi Steve,
Sorry for the incorrect version number. I am using 5.2.9

[shannah]

I'm at a bit of a loss as I can't see any reason why that shouldn't work. Is this on a new record form or a new_related_record form?

Are field groups working in any of your forms?

Can you run a test on your system:

File: testini1.ini

Code: Select all

[foo:bar]
   hello=world


File: test1.php

Code: Select all

<?php
$data = parse_ini_file('testini1.ini', true);
print_r($data);


And

File: test2ini.ini

Code: Select all

foo:bar=1


File: test2.php

Code: Select all

<?php
$data = parse_ini_file('test2ini.ini');
print_r($data);


Can you create the above files in the same directory and then run test1.php and test2.php and post the output of these scripts on the forum so I can see.

I'm wondering if 5.2.9 also contains a variation on the 5.3 bug.

Thanks

I had this same error message when I upgraded my Xataface.

Warning: array_merge() [<a>function.array-merge</a>]: Argument #1 is not an array...

The error was caused by my usage of the Email module which was suddenly missing after I wiped my old Xataface directory in favor of the update. I created a new xataface/modules directory and installed Email directory inside that with the Email_0.1 code and the system was back to normal.
