Fatal Error after creating a block

Posted by Elephant789 on August 12, 2007 at 12:20am

After creating a block with this snippet:

<?
$nid = 10;
$node_for_TOC = node_load($nid);
print category_display_toc($node_for_TOC);
?>

I now get the following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: category_display_toc() in /home/mysite/public_html/includes/common.inc(1201) : eval()'d code on line 4

Now I can't access my site. Any help?

Thanks.

Disable a block

Posted by djrodman on August 12, 2007 at 12:47am

You can disable all custom blocks, which will get you access to the site again. Then you can re-enable the ones that are OK and fix the one that's broken.

Edit the file sites/default/settings.php and add this at the end:

function custom_url_rewrite($a, $b, $c)
{ db_query("UPDATE blocks SET status = 0 WHERE module = 'block' ");
return $b;
}

After you're in again, delete that function.

P.S. - I don't think this works on 4.x. You'll need to find another way to execute that SQL query. You can find the database name, user, and password in settings.php -- look for $db_url. Then do this:

mysql -uuser -ppassword database

filling in the appropriate values for user, password, and database

Then you can execute the query shown above.

Please help me, I am blocked and can not disable it

Hi, djordman, can you help me? Something has happened in my site. I can not enter because ther is always a pink-red note saying "yourname" is disabled or has been blocked", of course it is an error that occurred without knowing how,

Best regards

Wild guess: in your browser settings, delete all cookies. Then you should be able to log in as administrator.

in the future test php snippets , using the page content type, where if it doesn't work it won't shut your site down. Once you get the snippet working in a page, then you can safely transfer it to a block.
