Problem with 2.51.2 No Box

[Steve Lowmaster]

Hi John

I just ran a test on the latest version and it sets up with no errors but when the ped. tree is displayed the drop down family box is only about 1/8 inch square so nothing can be seen in it and clicking on it does nothing.

When I installed 2.51.2 this evening it came up with the errormessage:

Undefined index NEW_ZOOM_BOXES in editconfig_gedcom.php line 111

However, I have no problems with the family drop down boxes in the pedigree tree

Afterwards, when I inspected the contents in the database via phpGedView I was surprised to find, that only four tables was present:

pgv_families
pgv_individuals
pgv_other
pgv_sources

Apparently there are no problems in adding users, but what happened to pgv_users in the database ?

I get the same error while importing a gedcom file. What I did find so far is that the variable $ZOOM_BOXES is not listed in the config_gedcom.php file. My guess is that it should be there. Despite putting the variable there, I still get the same error.

This "family drop down box" is that the box I see when I move my mouse over the top right hand corner in a persons box on the pedigree tree? Just want to make sure I understand it ;)

I will continue to try and solve this issue ;)

I have been looking into it but can't seem to figure out whether or not the ZOOM_BOXES is a boolean or not. I tried to change the variable in both ways but gave me the same error. When I comment out the line in which the ZOOM_BOXES is configured it works fine (as expected) but that leaves me with the question, what is the function of ZOOM_BOXES as it is not present in earlier versions of gedview.

Yes, your description of the family drop down box fits with my understanding of what it is.

Roland,

Provided you did a manual drop of tables before installing 2.51.2: can you tell, if the table pgv_users still is present in your database? I'm asking, because pgv_users appears to missing in my database ...

Hye Arne,

Yes I did drop all the tables, just to see if it did not create the pgv_users. And yes, just like you, it also did not create the pgv_users here. I guess the users are stored in a file??? I did not check it though. I just wonder why it would no longer be in the database.

Hi Roland

Thanks for testing the pgv_users issue.

As to $ZOOM_BOXES I have a faint idea that one of the other users once asked about the possibility to zoom the pictures - I guess that $ZOOM_BOXES perhaps has something to do with that.

Sorry everyone, the ZOOM_BOXES is a feature that will be coming in the 2.52 release and when I was merging the bug fixes between the 2.52.2 and 2.52 releases I added a line that I shouldn't have.  You can just ignore the error for now or you can get rid of the error by removing line 111 from the editconfig_gedcom.php file.  The error is because it can't find the NEW_ZOOM_BOXES variable in the $_POST array.  The error doesn't show up on all machines.

The zoom boxes will let you expand the boxes in the pedigree and descendency charts on a mouseover or mouseclick to give you more information and larger font so that it is easier to read.

There is a javascript error in the editconfig.php file that stops the authentication module from switching from index to mysql.   You can manually change the authentication_index.php parameter to authentication_mysql.php and it will start to use the database instead of a file. 

To fix it edit the file editconfig.php and change line 188 to:
var auth_loc = document.getElementById('NEW_AUTHENTICATION_MODULE');

I will post a 2.51.3 release later today that will have this fix and will get rid of the zoom boxes error.
