Hello,

I've just upgraded s9y from version 1.1.1 to version 1.1.2 and everything seems to be working fine. Everything - except the community rating. My ratings were not visible anymore and as I changed the entries.tpl of the template I currently use according to the README file of the community rating directory I received an error message:
"syntax error: unrecognized tag
'communityrating_show' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 583) in [home directory]/bundled-libs/Smarty/libs/Smarty.class.php on line 1095"

I'm quite at a loss and would be thankful for every hint on what might be wrong.

Hi!

Did you use the communityrating plugin in 1.1.1 already? Actually nothing should have changed in regard to version 1.1.2.

If you didn'T use it previously, I can check some other possible issues.

Best regards,
Garvin

Yes, I did. That's why I am a little bit confused because everything was fine before making the upgrade.

When the upgrade was installed I had to install the free tag plugin - which I also used before - and the community rating plugin again. The free tag is working now, but the community rating doesn't.

Of course, there is always the possibility of me making a mistake while upgrading, but I think that I followed the instructions carefully. I even used the entries.tpl from my backup and received the same error message.

Hi!

Why did you need to install them again? Did you uninstall them previously? Did you remove the files?

How exactly did you perform the upgrade, do you remember? Did you delete files on your webspace maybe?

Did you see an upgrade screen, or did you see the installation screen after you performed the update?

If you installed the communityrating plugin again, did you do that via spartacus or manually download a ZIP?

Hi,

it seems as if there were some directories in the wrong read-write mode. I changed that and now the community rating contents are visible. Sounds like a newbie-mistake doesn't it?

Thank you for your support.

Yeah, hi....

I am having the same problem on a completely new install of S9Y 1.1.2 -- and I am a newbie. Dunno nuthin' 'bout read/write modes, so, if anyone has some advice, that'd be peachy.

Hi!

Okay, maybe you can answer then the same questions I asked mika.

Make sure all files of the communityrating plugin have 777 permissions?

and to that, I say:

errrrr... eh?

Using your provider's file utility, or FTP, go to the serendipity plugins/ directory. Find the communityrating plugin directory (probably serendipity_event_communityrating/, but I think you're intelligent enough to figure it out if it's a little different).

Check the permissions on the directory and all the files in it. They should be at least read, write, and execute for the owner, read, write, and execute for the group, and read and execute for everybody else (rwxrwxr-x, or 775, or 0775, depending on how your program displays it). 777 wouldn't be so bad, but some providers don't allow it.

If they're not, fix it, as described above.
