I've made a fix for this.

See https://github.com/emoncms/emoncms/pull/341/files

Hi chaveiro

I made the changes as you did in the file and now receive the following message:

( ! ) Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ')' in C:\wamp\www\emoncms-Extended\Modules\dashboard\dashboard_menu.php on line 7

When I delete one of the ' it shows me this message:

( ! ) Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'profile' (T_STRING) in C:\wamp\www\emoncms-Extended\Modules\dashboard\dashboard_menu.php on line 8

Wow, that is the exact problem I've been having!  As a newbie, I'm not sure about posting the screenshot, but I have the most basic setup possible.  I followed the instructions for the localhosting with Windows.

I can also document that the errors I get are different depending on if I'm using Version 8.5.0 or 8.5.1 XT.  It doesn't seem to keep either version from working, so I went with 8.5.0 for now as I'm trying to just learn to use the emoncms.

For the 8.5.0, the error is shown when using the basic graph with the eye:

"(!) Notice: Undefined offset: 2 in "C:\wamp\www\emoncms\Modules\vis\vis_controller.php on line 74

3     0.0100     689232     vis_controller()    ...\core.php:66

For the 8.5.1 XT, the errors (2 instead of just one, but actually the same error listed twice) are immediate:

(!) Notice: Undefined offset: 2 in "C:\wamp\www\emoncms\Modules\dashboard\dashboard_menu.php on line 7

When I delete one of the ' it shows me this message:

Firefox,

If you deleted the ' character, that's what's causing the syntax error you're getting

Your error message Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ')' is saying that it's getting an unexpected ) i.e. close parenthesis on line 7.

Chaveiro,

When I view your patched line of code in a text editor, (Notepad++) and check it for matching parentheses, it shows no matches for the last two parentheses on the line.

$sess = (isset($session['write']) && $session['write']) ? 'write':
(isset($session['read']) && $session['read']) ? 'read':''));

All the other parentheses match up OK. IOW, there are 4 open parens, and six close parens.

Regards,

Bill

Hi Bill

Thanks, I misswrote that in my last comment. When I deleted the two parens I still get an error message.

 I then tried it this way (sorry no programmer):

$sess = (isset($session['write']) && $session['write']) ? 'write':(isset($session['read']) && $session['read']) ? 'read':'';

This way I get no error message but still no dashboard menu.
