Mint Forum

I just upgrade shokk.com/mint to 2.03 from 2.02 and am seeing a blank page for the main mint page. These errors at the /mint/?errors page:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method: si_localsearches->onafterdisplay() in /web/shokk/mint/app/lib/mint.php on line 1829

The function onAfterDisplay exists in app/lib/mint.php app/lib/pepper.php in the v203 directory, but not in the v202 directory. It seems to support the new Refresh Pepper as that’s the only instance of it anywhere, but even uninstalling that Pepper does not help.

My preferences page is working OK to uninstall or disable peppers. I’ve finally just left everything but the default peppers disabled and am using the vanilla_mint style. The page is still blank.

If I move the 2.02 app directory back in place, I can see the mint page again, but this obviously isn’t optimal.

I’ve cleared the cache and restarted the browser a number of times. I’ve checked that the files that were included in the v203 directory (apps dir, and backuprestore and default peppers) are the same as what is in production with “diff -r” and there are no differences. The style dir is in the new location and I can get to shokk.com/mint/app/styles/base.css. No old peppers are left anywhere.

I’m actually doing this on the web server itself, so when I download mint_v203.zip, I blow away mint/app and move mint_v203/app into place. A “diff -r” between the one I just downloaded and the one that was causing the trouble shows no differences between any files or folders in the two. Still the blank page.

Yet now when I look at ?errors, I get…..

Notice: Undefined variable: gens in /web/shokk/mint/pepper/ronaldheft/blogcomments/class.php on line 117

OK, after deciding things couldn’t get any worse than what they were, I blew the whole setup away (not the database!), reinstalled Mint 2.03 with my old config/db.php file and added each pepper back one by one. All is back to normal and thankfully the basics have been working in the background so all my visitors were being recorded all this time.

Mint also seems to load faster now: 20 seconds for the whole page to load down from a previous 60 seconds.

And now, as a bonus, I unchecked the feed readers box in User Agents, saved, went back into prefs and checked it. After saving that I now have my Readers tab in User Agents! Yay!

It definitely got longer as I added more peppers to the install. When I first load the page the titles of the peppers appear in an evenly spaced grid with little “refreshing” symbol. After about 7-9 seconds the panes appear under titles, but I don’t seem to have control of the browser for another 11+ seconds.

Maybe 23 peppers is too much?

Disabling “Collapse vertical whitespace” with that many Pepper would probably improve load time.
