Multi Relation

iso100, If you’re totally getting nothing, turn on PHP errors if they’re not. Relationships have totally blanked my templates before because of PHP memory issues. All I had to do was increase the PHP memory limit

Juro, all I have to do is put in {related_entries id="related_files} and POOF. Nothing. Remove the tag and all is well.

Tim, do you think I’d have PHP memory issues even when hosting on EngineHosting? I thought they were the EE hosting “masters!” How do I turn on PHP errors and/or increase the PHP memory limit?

iso100, Not sure about enginehosting…I’m sure turning on error reporting is in the wiki.

If you change the field to a regular relation field, rather than the multi-relation does it fix it?

iso100, is that the exact code? Because you are missing the closing “.

Juro, no… I was just typing it out quickly as an example. Whoops.

Alright, another update.

I changed index.php to enable error reporting by changing from this:

error_reporting(0);

to:

error_reporting(E_ALL);

… and I still get a blank page when I add this code to my template:

{related_entries id="related_files"} 
{/related_entries}

So then, working from these instructions, I added the following line to index.php:

ini_set('display_errors', 1);

Still a blank page and no errors reported.

Finally, I changed the custom field type to a related field, updated the relationship data for the record and saved. The first reload resulted in a flash of some error messages but it automatically cleared within a split-second and I couldn’t get it to display again.

Looks like I need to either talk with EngineHosting or ExpressionEngine tech support. This is enormously frustrating.

Yet another update. EngineHosting finally got PHP errors turned on. I now get this error displayed at the top of my page:

Notice: Undefined index: related_files in /www/eh7045/public_html/pbmsys/extensions/ext.multi_relationship.php on line 471

Notice: Undefined index: field_id_ in /www/eh7045/public_html/pbmsys/extensions/ext.multi_relationship.php on line 478

(It repeats about 15 times)

iso100, I’m wondering if you have followed the instructions to patch the core files as mentioned on top of ext.multi_relationship.php:

This will break in PHP4 because call_user_func_array does not support passing by reference, at least as far as I can tell. To get around this, open your /system/modules/weblog/mod.weblog.php file and find this line: …

The extension has worked for me all the time and is still doing so in 1.6.3, but I’m on PHP5.

Thanks Marcus. I actually looked into that, but since I’m on EngineHosting, I’m running 5.1.6 of PHP.

Sorry for that … I really thought I’d read EH would use PHP 4 (at least for some clients) - but I must have messed that 😖

Are you using Multiple Site Manager?

As far as I can see this extension (v 1.0.6) is not MSM safe :(

However I have tweaked the following lines and it seems ok now:

Line 457:

global $DB, $FNS, $PREFS, $TMPL, $EXT, /*$all_fields,*/ $Weblog;

Line 467:

if(!isset($$reference->cfields[$PREFS->ini('site_id')])) continue;

Line 469:

$field_id = $$reference->cfields[$PREFS->ini('site_id')][$rel_data['field_name']];

Hopefully Mark can add this to the source for the next release

Oh man, if this works I really owe you one!

I noticed one possible issue though. Line 467 in my copy of the plugin is the start of a “for each” loop:

for each($TMPL->related_data as $key => $rel_data)

… and 469 is an “if” statement:

if(!isset($$reference->cfields[1])) continue;

Perhaps you meant 469 and 471?
