Help! In newBB a new topic posted does appear in the list when i click through to a forum, but only the Subject appears, not the message or desription. If I click on the Topic a new page is launched but it is blank.

more information will be required Chucky
- read the read b4u post and copy and paste all the required info in here. Do this after turnitng on PHP and other begis to see what you get. You can also troubleshoot the blank page via the faq section.

To jensclas: I couldn't understand your last post, as it didn't make much sense to me.

We are using XOOPS 2.0.13.2 and NewBB 2.02 (from XOOPS2_mod_newbb2.02_PredPhpp.zip).

Most all of the NewBB functionality seems to work, but viewtopic.php always returns a completely empty page.

Any help is appreciated, since we're running out of XOOPS (2.0.13) compatible Bulletin Boards to try and use!

Please take the time to reply in legible English, so we can understand the posting. Thanks in advance.

A full description of the issue:

Most all of the NewBB functionality seems to work, but viewtopic.php always returns a completely empty page.

This could be a memory issue (physical memory is 100% allocated, with all of swap unallocated).

System 'top' command output (sorted by memory usage):

Since I rebooted the server (to attach to our new UPS power), I rechecked the "topic" page (via viewtopic.php), with the following (PHP) error:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 368640 bytes) in /app/www/htdocs/a+gps/modules/newbb/xoops_version.php on line 616

... and the system 'top' command shows available physical memory. So, this seems to be a Xoops/PHP/Apache issue.

Oh my goodness! My sincerest apologies for all those typos...I usually check them carefully. I probably didn't have enough coffee! So glad you figured out turn on php debug!

This is a problem for those much wiser than me...hopefully a XOOPS developer will see the problem and be able to assist - especially now we have all that wonderful information

Once again - my apologies for writing gobbledegook!

This bug is additionally being tracked in the NewBB bug forum: http://dev.xoops.org/modules/xfmod/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3993&group_id=1001&atid=104

FIXED.

I found the root cause of our problem and was able to fix it.

First, it should be noted, that, I installed CBB 3.0.4 RC2 (the most recent bulletin board). The installation script gave me similar memory errors.

The solution was to increase the PHP "memory_limit" parameter within the php.ini file (from 8M to 32M). (Restart Apache if PHP is an Apache module, refer to http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/php/2001/01/11/php_admin.html for more).

I'll assume that other similar memory problems with NewBB can be solved the same way.

Good luck, and again, I'd recommend CBB 3.0 if you're using XOOPS 2.0 or higher!
