Forum page Forum Posts block keep on loading

Hi..

The forum page left column forum posts block keep on loading.

can you suggest solution?

Thanks in advance

Try going to your site administration/builders/pages blocks and use the drop down menu to go to "Forums Index" and remove the "Forum Posts" block ... but you may want to put it in the unused section and not delete it altogether.

Of course, removing it is the perfect solution to something not appearing to work.

First:  I notice Kishorer that your fairly new here.  Does your forum have any posts in it yet?  If it doesn't then this block just eternally load as it has no content to pull from.

Second:  If the forum does have posts in it (Not just categories, but actual posts), have you renamed your forums or anything like that?

Third:  Have you checked your file permissions?

Final Note:  Is this a D6 or D7 site?

I'm having the same problem.  I have a D7 site.  I've set the forum topics up.  When you go to Forums Home, the left side has a Forum Posts timer that just spins and spins.  There are no forum posts and I have tried to post one.  When I click on Post nothing happens.  It just stays on the screen where I have typed in text, and will not post.

I have followed other topics on this site and have a php.ini file and the correct directories for my template.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I too have duplicated this on a new Dolphin install.

I notice that this works fine until I change the "headers.inc.php" file.

$site['ver']               = '7.0';
$site['build']             = '0';
$site['url']               = "http://mysite.com/";
$admin_dir                 = "administration";

if I change to this

$site['ver']               = '7.0';
$site['build']             = '0';
$site['url']               = "http://www.mysite.com/";
$admin_dir                 = "administration";

This block, on the left stops working...change the line back to original and it corrects this.

Not a problem, but I don't understand why this make a difference

If it works without the www but adding it prevents it from working then it is a server config issue. Most likely the hosts file. The forums use the fully qualified domain name of the server for that block which means the server is resolving yourdomain.com but not www.yourdomain.com. The hosts file on Linux is similar to the hosts file on windows. If a domain is specified there then dns is not used for lookup. So your hosts file needs to be checked to see if the www alias is in there.

If you run a VPS or dedicated, your hosts file is in /etc

If your running shared hosting, contact your host to have that fixed.

Thank you Deano...

Thanks for the info.  My hosting company checked and all is correct with my www.  I still have the problem.  Any other ideas?

OK, I spent an hour with my hosting company. they stated this is not the problem...

My hosting company spent two hours looking at my site thouroughly and said that my www is set up and aliased correctly.  I still have the problem too.

I finally found my problem.  There was a piece of code I inserted into the index.php file to prevent non-members from accessing the forum.  When I removed this it fixed the rolling indicator problem.

could you explain this a little more

This is on D7, and this was a fresh install with one posting...

I still can duplicate the problem on sites; my home test server as well, home server is ubuntu server, main sites, some at arvixe, couple at dimehost.

changing the header.inc.php  home site example set up with ubuntu..around line 23  $site['url']               = "http://duvallocals.info/";

if you on initial install, put www.mysite.com and install the orca mod after that you cannot change the header.inc.php to the line above.. and vise versa..

I hope this reads well..i have set duvallocals.info this way today for demo...later today i will change back and it will be working again..

edit: no name changes were performed to the forums...

I still have not been able to duplicate that problem. I can switch between using and not using www without any problems on both my sites. So if your making sure the cache, cache_public and tmp folders are emptied with exception to the .htaccess file that is in those folders, then i still believe it is an issue with how the host is handling the www sub domain prefix.

Point deano...

I'm not worried with it as most users never use the forums, and I only noticed this because I wanted the site to say "www" in the end it really makes no difference... but thanks for the input.

did someone figured it out yet?

My forum posts block is also spinning.

I use the forum a lot, but I can't get the forumposts in my homepage working.

But also my Boonexnewsfeed and featured modules in admin panel are spinning.

Is it a connection problem maybe????

I don't think so.

I can still duplicate this and correct it...

we don't mean this boonexforum, but the forumpost block on our Dolphinsites.

is that solved already?

Sound like a connection problem. Or more common, the php.ini setting of allow_url_fopen is off or disabled by your host. That setting must be on.

Did anyone fix this?  It worked just fine before but after i fresh installed 7.03,  the forum block on homepage keeps loading.  any idea how to fix this.  Let me know.  Thanks

are the forums loading, but like deano said, you have to have allow_url_fopen available for it to pull the xml data from the forums

Sorry, i'm not clear.  The forum page works great.. i don't have a loading issue there but the forum block on homepage keeps loading forever.  I just fresh installed it and I don't see how i get that issue.  Like i said.. it works before on my live site.  weird.

EDIT: i just checked and i see this "allow_url_fopen = On"  but what about this one?  "allow_url_include = Off"  leave that one off?

allow_url_include= off is correct

i just checked my in php.ini "allow_url_fopen = On"  &  "allow_url_include = Off"  but still not showing up on the home page and keeps loading!!

My dolphin is 7.0.4

Anyone can help ? Thank you!

I know it's an old thread but it's the latest I can find on this issue which I've just had and I just wanted to post the fix in case it helps anyone else, as per the reply from my ISP below :- 

"...had a look through the error log on your site and noticed the error below:

[11-Jan-2012 15:13:48] PHP Warning: curl_setopt() [<a href='function.curl-setopt'>function.curl-setopt</a>]: CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION cannot be activated when safe_mode is enabled or an open_basedir is set in /home/xxxxxx/public_html/inc/utils.inc.php on line 1046

This is a security measure (open_basedir) to prevent unauthorized scripts from having access to your home directory. This appears to be incompatible with your scripts, hence causing the error.

Basically what this does is prevent other users from being able to read files within your home directory using php scripts. It is one of many security features we enable on the server to prevent shared users from compromising or reading other accounts that don't belong to them on the same server.

I have now disabled this for your specific account and the rss feed script appears to function correctly..."

... and Forum Block / Boonex News block are both working.  So there seem to be many reasons why the feeds may not load.
