(Not sure if I should have put this in Bugs, sorry?)
When you first adopt an adoptable, text tells you to make sure to feed your adoptable so it grows. The link is levelup/# instead of levelup/click/# so it doesn't work. I changed adoptview.php from this: $document->add(new Link("levelup/{$aid}", "feed ")); To this: $document->add(new Link("levelup/click/{$aid}", "feed ")); The link now works. Just make sure you don't forget the / or it'll give you an error like the first one. The file is in public_html > view. |
fresh install issues
Hi! Last year, I downloaded the script and gave it a test install and it worked great - but that was a different version. This version is giving me issues on a fresh install!
I have a brand new laptop, and I just downloaded a fresh install of WAMP (this release comes with PHP 5.4 with MySQL 5.6). Immediately I started having troubles. (But luckily nothing that will immediately prevent me from continuing on my way, I think.) I strongly believe all of this is caused because I have 5.4 and the temporary solution is to just turn off php error notices (everything seems to work, despite the notices). Problem 1 - The index.php in the installer has the following notice at the top of the page: PHP Code:
Problem 2 - I had to set a password for myphpadmin root, no biggie, that's more secure than not having one, so I got that done. (It wouldn't let me run the install script without a password, anyway.) I attempted to run the install script now that I had a password... Problem 3 - The install script went and timed out on me (warning sign number one) - so I went into my php.ini file and upped the script timeout from 30 seconds to 5 minutes, cleared the tables in the database it had managed to install, and tried again. Success! I got all the way to step six. Problem 4 - Installation complete! But wait, there are four php notices at the top of the page: PHP Code:
Problem 5 - The good news? The site does load... at the bottom of the page after several dozen notice errors. I get one of this: PHP Code:
PHP Code:
PHP is one of those languages that's constantly upgrading and it's syntax gets a little outdated. Even best practices can become obsolete, given enough time. (e.g., Using an uninitialized variable and relying on the fact it's automatically initialized to an empty string.) As a developer, that sort of stuff makes you want to pull your hair out, I know. (Oh!! I think it's worth mentioning that I also had the initial 500 Internal Server Error, but that was because mod_rewrite wasn't turned on by default in WAMP's Apache. I turned that on and restarted and everything seemed to have fixed itself.) Anyway, moving along: Problem 6 - On the Register page, this time I get an actual, non-notice error: PHP Code:
I'm not -sure- if I can turn Strict php error notices off, but I'll give it a shot. I look forward to your next major release but I'll have fun building off what's already provided. Thank you for your hard work! |
Well most of these aint really problems, especially the notices. All you have to do is to disable notice errors in php.ini. For the strict standard error, go to /classes/class_radiolist.php and change:
PHP Code:

My line in /classes/class_radiolist.php was actually: PHP Code:

PHP Code:
However! I did work around the original Strict alert, with the code my install came with, because I can also turn Strict alerts off in php.ini, apparently. error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_STRICT does the trick. |
Oh I see, then you probably just change RadioButton to GUIComponent instead. PHP is an annoying language in a way that its type hinting is incomplete. RadioButton is a subclass of GUIComponent, this kind of type hinting is normally reasonable but in PHP it generates strict standard errors.

I think newer versions of PHP are doing a little better, hence all the complaining it does over code it's changed requirements for, but as a constantly updating language it's lack of backwards compatibility as soon as a server updates makes it quite a headache. Despite having a book or two laying around, and tinkering around with PHP for a couple years, I still end up at a loss of what I'm doing most of the time and end up turning to Google to find nothing but forums full of people going 'have you googled it?' and shaking my head at the irony. Luckily, these warnings aren't major problems (yet, or hopefully anytime soon). But thank you so much for your time! I won't spend my time troubleshooting stuff I can just shut off, and I'm sure it's all going to get sorted out eventually. You never know what happens when PHP decides to update. It's like buying a new computer, eventually, you just can't find the old version you like in the store anymore. I'm glad to see activity, and this probably isn't where I'm meant to be posting, so when I have more questions, I'll post elsewhere. Sorry for that! I'm off to go build a template~ |
I see, and yeah at this moment turning off notice/strict-error reporting is the best choice to take. I kinda forget what the method signature was, but I may take a look at it and see if I can get rid of the error message for you. It does not affect your site's functionality in any way, just some plainly annoying text you wish it to disappear. Good luck making a theme/template btw.

Problem
I tried doing the "/install/index.php" part, but it's not working for me....
|
What errors do you get? Are you sure you are accessing the correct url path? Sometimes this kind of issues are caused by improper uploads of script files, if you just upload the entire folder through FTP it may not work unless you rename it.
|
Was just installing script and I am unfamiliar with the cPanel, so I might have done something wrong here...but while trying to install I got this error;
Could not connect to database, the following error has occurred: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) Not sure what it means? |
Your connection information to your database server is wrong. Either it isn't hosted on "localhost" or, the uesrname and password are incorrect.

That problem could have also been just because the MySQL process wasn't started or had an internal error and needed a restart, too. It could have literally fixed itself -- but if not, some setups require localhost to be wired through 127.0.0.1. Some OS don't even care.
|
I will double check the host (pretty sure it's just localhost) and re-run the installation. Hopefully it clears up!
Edit; Yeah, the server is different. Not used to my new host yet, hehe. Thanks to both of you! |
Glad it worked out for you. I wonder though, what was the problem with your new host? You dont have to answer that if it was a secret, I am just curious.
|
Do you mean old host, HoF?
If so, we ran into some very frustrating payment problems. I canceled payments and they would take the money out, anyways. Had to jump through hoops to get into contact with someone to be refunded. |
I have a question.
Would it be possible to only upgrade the trade feature on a 1.3.3 site to the 1.3.4 trade system? Or would that be pretty much impossible? |
I followed the tutorial exactly as it was written and when I got to the last step, going my mysite.com/install/index.php it said the page didn't exist? I followed this exactly how it said to and no luck. I'm using x10hosting.
Edit I figured it out, I changed the url to mysite.com/mainfoldername/install/index.php But now all im getting is a blank screen -.-' what did I do wrong? I've done this twice and still the same blank screen shows up. |
For some reason Mysidia has some serious issues with being installed into a sub-domain. Maybe try moving it to the root/public_html folder of your site and see if that works?
|
The thing is it is in the public_html folder -.- I couldn't get it to work without renameing the actual file MSA file adopt and then changing the URL for rhe instillation. I don't want to change it back now since I already installed it.
But I'll probably have to wip my site and start from scratch and maybe it'll work. And I'm not sure how to do that .-. |

I downloaded it as a zip. Uploaded it to my host and unzipped it. there is the mysidia file and the files are inside. Should I take them out?
and it's blank only after installing. It says I can view my site at dreamscape.x10host.com/adopt/index.php and I can not. its just a white screen :p |
The folder is called adopt then? During installation, you put /adopt in the Script Path?
If everything is correct, it might be this http://mysidiaadoptables.com/forum/s...&postcount=199 I'm not sure if he managed to solve it or not |
I tried once doing that and it didn't work. So I tried it without it and it didn't work either .-. So maybe that is the problem.. Is there another (free) host I should try and use?
|
Just an update on my battle!
So I was unable, for a while, to use Mys 1.3.4 with a fresh install, but now I've upgraded 1.3.3 to 1.3.4 and it worked like a charm! |
Are you using x10hosting?
I dont have the older version. is there somewhere I can get it? |
No, I use iPage (paid host). You can download 1.3.3 here:
http://mysidiaadoptables.com/forum/s...ead.php?t=4057 |
I did and went through the who process. Still a white screen .-.
I guess it refuses to work with x10 .-. |
I'm hosting with x10, and the first few times I had issues with it. I'm not sure what I did differently, but I was finally able to install it. I'm just having random errors right now, but the install worked after a few tries with me (granted, I did paid x10 hosting)
|
Yeah its kinda strange, but sometimes reinstalling the script several times works on x10hosting. Also note that some servers of x10hosting may not work for the script, I recall there was one that had no PDO libary installed. Not sure if this issue still affects some users, but it sure is weird.
|
/is thoroughly frustrated/
I guess I will try 99webs.org if its still up. I already signed up and everything but there seems to be very little activity .-. |
Regarding forum integration
Does it work with the new 1.8 mybb?
And if you have just one other member on your site, is it still possible to integrate? Would love to integrate my forum |
I'm not too sure if it would work if you have one other member on your site (I'm guessing not), but it does work with the newest myBB and future updates since that's what I use.
If it doesn't work with another member registered, you could always back up their data, delete them from the database, integrate myBB, and add them back manually. |
cheers!
Thanks Dinocanid, I ended up deleting her with her permission (it's my sister helping me test it, lol)
|
The forum integration works with MyBB v1.6 only, there is a patch made by Kyttias that allows it to integrate with MyBB 1.8 forums:

I so hope this site isn't dead. :(
I have seen next to no action for so long. I've faithfully been watching and waiting for the next release .... |
It's been since 2013 ( I didn't realize this).
I am on the fence about starting my upcoming pet sites using this 7 year old code, or waiting to see if the new one is coming. I know there were some pretty significant improvements being added, but after 7 years I am kinda unsure if this is still a thing. Can we know if this is still coming, or is the last release in 2013 pretty much the final code for Mysid Adopts :) |
I am working on multi-alternate forms for Mys v1.3.5 right now. Expected release date is around the end of August to Mid September. We will see how it goes, I will write up a blog article for the multi-alternate forms system soon.
Btw, the 4shared download link has been fixed. I also removed rapidshare and megaupload links since these two download sites are dead. Starting from Mys v1.3.5, we will also offer download links directly from our own file server. |
Wonderful news, thank you HOF!
If there is any way to add some sort of custom generator that would be utterly amazing. But if not its totally fine. I couldn't even get someone to mod that for me for pay so it must be really hard xD |
