Ok. After having some odd permissions problem I couldn't figure out, I did a fresh install of s9y.
I'm using it in a semi-embedded mode. (you have to see the site to know what I mean).

Anyhow, my site index file that acts as a wrapper to get the blog content and such so it can be included looks like this:

Code: Select all

index.php

<?php

   $_REQUEST['page'] = 'blog';
   // Let serendipity generate our content:
   ob_start();
   require 'blog.php';
   $blog_data = ob_get_contents();
   ob_end_clean();


   // Now we include our normal content building file.
   // This one has to make use of your $blog_data variable to print
   // the content where appropriate!
   require 'content.php';

?>

blog.php is the s9y index file.
content.php is my site layout file.

Now, everything was working fine until I updated stuff on the server and got problems and had to reinstall s9y.

But after this fresh install, it's either not working, or doing oddness.

With the index as above, loading the site just gives a blank page.

When I comment out the ob_end_clean line, I get the blog, then my content (which includes the blog).

Well, take a look for yourself.

So basically, I'm trying to figure out why the blog is showing up before it's actually called.
hehe.

Any ideas?
Thanks.

So basically, it appears like the require directive is acting essentially the same as the include directive.

hmm.
From looking around more, it appears that everything is showing because I never run the ob_end_clean, and therefore blog.php and content.php are both in the buffer.

But that doesn't explain why it appears to stop processing there when I do run ob_end_clean.

Well, I did some tweaking/hacking/etc. and seem to have it working how I want again.
hehe.

Although I still find it odd that the wrapper stopped working as intended.
Weird.

Your extended pages is not working; I just tried one though. The URL as follows:

I have things sorta working now.
I am directly including the main blog page in my layout page instead of using the wrapper.
I'm not sure why, but apparently when I use a proper wrapper the processing stops at the ob_end_clean statement, thus resulting in a blank page.
I'm thinking I may try recompiling php to see if that fixes it.

hmmmmm.
Playing some more..
If I put a php echo statement in the wrapper before the buffer setup, it will output, and the wrapper will work.
Except there will be some headers already sent errors and such.
Now I'm really confused.
I'm in the process of recompiling mod_php to see if that fixes it.
