Dashboard not saving - White box

Submitted by Guest on Tue, 25/02/2014 - 23:57

HI all,

I installed EmonCMS, from a clone github all went sort of ok, 
Redis was a bit of pain, but that's now installed and working, so most of EmonCMS is working.

I'm using mysql/apache/on Centos 5.x

Data in and feeds all went well via csv JSON from the ardunio which is connected to some weather instruments (work in progress)

 

I can create a nice funky dashboard, I save each part (the save button changes from yellow to green.)  and publish the dash.

but when I go back, it's gone..?!?!   Just a white box.  A new dash, the same happens.

Looking in php.error.log dosen't show any drama, nor do the apache logs..

A quick browse into MySQL shows stuff in the dashboard table....so it's there???

 

ermm,,, where next? -

I wonder if there could be any errors shown in the javascript console window of your browser? what browser are you using?

Hello, thanks for the reply, and the pointer.

Browser is Firefox 27.0.1 en_GB on Win7x64

The webdev console shows some stuff which may be a pointer, I know nada about programing (I did some assembler at college 30 years ago !) and less about Java...

Hello Again...

All the "\" in the above are the cause of the problem..  (did some manually editing of the record in the dashboard table and voila!)

How did I come to this plan of attack ?  -  I installed another browser, and saw in the box a url not found error with a "\" proceeding the http.. 

Next question, where's all the "\" being inserted ?

Another update,

I found this,

http://openenergymonitor.org/emon/node/2762

I've done what was suggested, but more problems, will investigate later...

Two more things we had to do....

Apply patch  https://github.com/caseee/emoncms/commit/60d820d863bc3ff459d051344ba1177...

Then I was seeing time errors ""We selected the timezone 'UTC' for now, but please set date.timezone to select your timezone."

 

so http://openenergymonitor.org/emon/node/2746 came into play.

 

RESOLVED.

Good to see you've got it fixed!

did setting magic_quotes_gpc = Off work? or did you need to add the stripslashes command to make it work?

I've just experienced the same problem installing emoncms on a shared server. The problem occurs on servers with an older version of php installed. As of php version 5.4 magic quotes has been removed.

I've added the stripslashes workaround call to the core get and post functions in the rework development branch here:

https://github.com/emoncms/emoncms/commit/91dc754eb5f435e2f67235f8822da0...

The get and post function now looks like this:

function get($index)
{
    $val = null;
    if (isset($_GET[$index])) $val = $_GET[$index];
   
    if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) $val = stripslashes($val);
    return $val;
}

This fixed the problem in the dashboards but also anywhere else a json string is passed to emoncms, such as in the new node module.

In php5.4 get_magic_quotes_gpc() always returns false and so $val = stripslashes($val); will never be called as its not needed.
