Numo.Troubleshooting: Login or Registration Box does not display

You’ve placed your component code in your page, published it out, followed all the other tutorials about making sure the .htaccess file is live, the code isn’t wrapped across more than one line, and that your system is activated, but yet the component is not showing up.

Then, in all likelihood, the problem is that you are actually LOGGED IN to the Numo system already, perhaps as the “admin” user.

If you are LOGGED IN, any Login Box or Registration Box will NOT RENDER as it deemed not required by the Numo system.  Why would you need to log in if you’re already logged in?  So, that is in all likelihood why you do not see the login box or registration box.

Try logging out of the Numo system to see if the login box or registration box re-appears.

Flash Player Bug

HI Folks

Somewhere in Late July, early August an update to the ‘flash player’ in your web browsers was released by Adobe Systems. There was a bit of a glitch or bug in this release which may have affected your websites.

Some of the problems you might encounter:

  1. mp3 player not visible or working
  2. flash gallery quickly displaying, then disappearing
  3. part or all of the header disappearing
  4. the logo displays, then goes away

This is NOT a problem with your website or your template. Downloading a template from your members page to ‘test’ will show you the same issues.

This IS a problem with the flash player.. or better yet WAS a problem.

Adobe Systems has since released another update, which fixes the bug in the previous update.

You can wait for your system to automatically update the flash player.

Or, you can go directly to the Adobe website, and install the latest version of the flash player manually.

http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

If you did into the Adobe Support Forums, they actually advise that the previous version of the player be removed using your computers Control Panel. Most of the members I’ve spoken with have not needed to do this, just downloading the updated player and or installing directly through the web browser has fixed the bug issue.

Just as your flash player was updated with the buggy version, it will again be updated with a working version, and this goes for your website visitors as well.

We’ve never encountered something like this with a flash player update, so it’s pretty safe to say it’s a rarity and shouldn’t ( hopefully ) happen again….

Numo.Troubleshooting: Numo does not run while in a subfolder

Example situation:

You have an existing site, but want to run your website/numo from us in a subfolder for testing.  Example Location:  http://www.yourwebsite.com/my_subfolder/

In this situation, you will need to update the two .htaccess files included within your site.

Please note, DO NOT use Microsoft Expression Web, FrontPage or SharePoint Designer to edit ANY “numo” file.  Use a plain text editor such as NotePad (not WordPad) or Dreamweaver.

The .htaccess in the main folder (http://www.yourwebsite.com/my_subfolder/) should be modified to look like this (note the bolding), where “my_subfolder” is the name of your sub-folder:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /my_subfolder/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*/check.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*/numo/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*/numo$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*/dynamo/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*/dynamo$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*/Site/
RewriteRule (.*) check.php?where=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

The .htaccess file in the “numo” folder (http://www.yourwebsite.com/my_subfolder/numo/) should be modified to look like this (note the bolding), where “my_subfolder” is the name of your sub-folder:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /my_subfolder/numo/
RewriteRule ^module/(.*)/(.*)/$ index.php?m=$1&i=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

When you go to move this files back to the ROOT folder of your website (http://www.mywebsite.com/), you will need to revert those files to their original form, AS WELL as update the “numo/configuration/database_connection_info.php” file, to change the following line:

define(NUMO_FOLDER_PATH, ‘/my_subfolder/numo/‘);

to read

define(NUMO_FOLDER_PATH, ‘/numo/‘);

Numo.Patch: Problem viewing index page in subfolders.

Previous to this patch (August 12, 2011), if you tried to access a page in you site via a url similar to:

http://www.yoursite.com/mysubfolder

or

http://www.yoursite.com/mysubfolder/

… the system would display either a blank page, or tell you that no file could be found.

The following files were patched:

check.php

If you downloaded your package after August 12, 2011, the patch has already been applied to your product.  If you downloaded your package PRIOR to August 12, 2011, be sure to re-download your package, and apply the updated check.php to your local and remote website.

Numo.Shopping Cart: Product Categories Dissapearing in Admin Area

Patched as of July 29, 2011 (if you downloaded your package after this date, the patch has already been applied)

When managing your product categories, if you added a new category, but then clicked the “Remove” button for it immediately, as in BEFORE hitting the “Save” button, and THEN clicked the “Save” button, it would delete all of the categories on the top (root) level, essentially removing all categories and subcategories from your shopping cart.

This behavior has been fixed.

Re-download your package, and your copy (local and live) with the following files:

  • numo/modules/shopping_cart/product-categories.php
