With Aeva installed, versions 6.0.66 and 6.0.67...

and latest EzPortal (0.2.7)

If Aeva is enabled, AND a "recent posts" or "recent topics" is used as an ezblock :

The forum "landing pad" page crashes with an "internal server error" ---  and DUMPS CORE!

All other ezblocks work normally on landing page and all other pages.  When the "recent" block is then removed, the forum and landing pages all work normally.

Disabling Aeva also makes the page work without crash or dump.

Core included as attachment.

Please advise.


core dump may be downloaded here

I do not know how to analyze core dumps myself I would check with the Aeva modification author.

The bug did not occur with Avea and does not occur within the Aeva code, it seems to operate inside the Ezportal block code.

The error only happened after an upgrade to 0.2.7 from previous version 0.2.6, and occurs with all aeva versions, which were all stable under 0.2.6.


--- To revise : there is a fix for tinyportal recommended by Aeva, and the author thinks he's facing same issue.  I will pass on the code/patch he recommends, based on :

Ok, here's what I got so far....

in TinyPortal / PBlocks.template.php  -- where same core dump occurs...
FIND :
$what=ssi_recentTopics($num_recent = $context['TPortal']['recentboxnum'], $bb, $output_method = 'array');

REPLACE :
$ex_aeva = $modSettings['aeva_enable'];
$modSettings['aeva_enable'] = 0;
$what = ssi_recentTopics($context['TPortal']['recentboxnum'], $bb, 'array');
$modSettings['aeva_enable'] = $ex_aeva;



Now, he's also said :

Ah, nope... but it's easy to adapt.
You will have to find the equivalent ssi_recentPosts() call in EZPortal.
Juste paste that part of the code here, and I'll adapt it for you if you want.

Any idea which part he means?

grep -niR 'ssi_recentPosts' *
SMFSUB/SSI.php:241:function ssi_recentPosts($num_recent = 8, $exclude_boards = null, $output_method = 'echo')
SMFSUB/ssi_examples.php:52:         <h3>Recent Posts Function: &lt;?php ssi_recentPosts(); ?&gt;</h3>
SMFSUB/ssi_examples.php:53:         <?php ssi_recentPosts(); flush(); ?>
SSI.php:251:function ssi_recentPosts($num_recent = 8, $exclude_boards = null, $include_boards = null, $output_method = 'echo')
SSI.php~:259:function ssi_recentPosts($num_recent = 8, $exclude_boards = null, $include_boards = null, $output_method = 'echo')
ssi_examples.php:52:         <h3>Recent Posts Function: &lt;?php ssi_recentPosts(); ?&gt;</h3>
ssi_examples.php:53:         <?php ssi_recentPosts(); flush(); ?>


In the entire app, these are the only references I could find.  Is one of them what I am looking for?

Turning off output compression has solved this issue.

We store the php code for the ezBlocks in the mysql database to call the built in ezBlock functions
