Hi All,
Omeka has been bugging me to upgrade to 2.8 from 2.7.1 and I tried it on my dev site. It’s good I didn’t do it on the actual site as there seems to be a javascript error that is preventing the content from rendering. It seems to be with the plugin mmenu.js and an element not being there.
Dev site:
Live site:
So I’m wondering if anyone has run into this problem and might have some insight to offer before I go in there and start wildly hacking at it until it renders properly.
The mmenu.js error is related since the broken markup is stopping the menu from reading a DOM node that never got loaded, but it’s not the actual cause.
If you look at the page source, you’ll see the underlying issue is a PHP error, related, I think, to some of your customizations (which look great by the way).
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function get_random_featured_collections() in /path/to/curatescape/custom.php:2233
I’m not positive but it might just be the extra s in that function call, assuming you meant to use the Omeka function get_random_featured_collection().
Where are you guys seeing this error? It doesn’t appear for me when I load the index page and I don’t see it in errors.log (unless I am doing something wrong).
Got it! Thanks so much for pointing where to find that. Yes it had nothing to do with the mmenu.js file at all.
While customising the app, I added a function to application/libraries/globals.php in the curatescape theme folder called, you guessed it, get_random_featured_collections (note the s). But when upgrading, globals.php get rewritten during the upgrade process!!!
So don’t mess with anything outside of custom.php. I also should have read the documentation rather than just hacking away as I usually do. Ugh. I’m sure I added some script somewhere else.
