Please advise on installing. I have loaded the tweak to the tweaks directory, and it appears in the list. I have it activated, however when I make an entry I get "Error writing file! Please check directory permissions."

mainpage is set to <?php runtweak ('simple-blog') ?>

Just what am I doing wrong?? Please help

Hi Dalenberg,

Never tried this tweaker (module), however the error your getting is a write permission issue. So you probably need to use chmod (or right click on a directory / file in your ftp client) to change write permissions.

Regards

Thanks. I have checked the permissions, and they are correct. I believe the error is generated from the statement:

$retval = put2file(SBLOG_POSTDIR.$filename_to_put, stripslashes($content));

The problem is: I can not find a function: put2file() anywhere, ergo the error!!! This statment is in the "write File" area of the script. I suspect I'll have to either write my on "write File" or somehting like that. I just thought you might have encountered this problem. Thanks any way. If others have had this problem and have a solution please let me know..


Existing CODE:



//writes a new post to file
function sblog_put_post($title, $date, $content) {
$filename_time = strtotime($date);
$filename_title = str_replace(" ","_",$title);
$filename_to_put = $filename_time."<::>".$filename_title.".html";
$retval = put2file(SBLOG_POSTDIR.$filename_to_put, stripslashes($content));
if(!$retval) {
echo '<div class="redbox">Error writing file! Please check directory permissions.</div>';
}

If the function didn't exist, you'd get an error about an "Undefined Function". Open up 'data/setting.php' and you'll see that put2file() is defined on line 77. The error you are getting is related to directory permissions.

Quite True!!! I did find the code in the setting.php. Still looking at permissions stuff. This system is on a windows 2000 server running apache... Still not sure why I am getting the permissions problem.. Let you know what I find..

[Zorchenhimer]

Permissions on Windows are, many times, more complicated than they need to be. Right click on the folder in question, go to Properties > Security. Make sure "Everyone" has read capabilities, and apply it recursively.

I have a problem. I've installed the tweak correctly (I think). The blog is on sidebar, okay.. sample post shows... but when I try to save post it only shows me: slug load error : slug cannot be loaded

WTF? I've tried to deactivate friendly names but it only gives me 404 then. I don't have any idea what to do.

This is the message

Code:

Fatal error: Class 'Tweak' not found in /home/malachai/public_html/data/tweaks/sblog.php on line 31

Unfortunately I have no experience in the field of fixing things, and I have no idea what I did wrong. It goes into tweaks right?
Or should I use 6 Final instead of 7

Back in March, 2010 I posted the first entry, expressing the write file problem I was having. Because of circumstances, and, at the time, my limited knowledge of what I was doing, I postponed this problem until lately.

I now have the simple-blog working:

In the sblog.php file <::> is used as a separator with-in the file name. These are not legal characters permitted under windows. Simply by changing the several functions where ."<::>". appears to ."---". I was able to make the script work. Second, I used simple-blog for the run tweak on the page I wished to display, and it should have been sblog-page.

I provide this information so others using WAMP will be able to avert the same troubles I have had,,,
