The Joomla! Forum ™

I have just upgraded to 2.5.1 today, from 1.7. I am trying to get Smart Search to work.
I have enabled all the plugins necessary.
I use the "Index" button in the component admin and it gets to 0% and says
"undefined
undefined
null"

I have verified my log files are being written to. I have opened them, performed the task again, and I can see the log files have been changed.

I have disabled all the plugins except the main plug in and hit index and it runs and gives me no errors. It gathers no information, but gives me no errors.

I then enable the plugins, one at at time with the same error messages of undefined.

HELP!! I've tried to find information, but can't find anything related except the log file solutions, and this isn't my issue.

The log file entry is below, if this helps.

That error usually comes from a content plugin that has issues. Try enabling the Finder plugins and disabling all of your content plugins, then enable them one by one until you get errors. That developer needs to add a simple context check to their plugin to prevent any errors like this.

I disabled all content plugins. I ran a "Index" prior to enabling any finder plugins and everything fine. Nothing was indexed but it ran the Indexer. Then I enabled one of the finder plugins (with all the content plugins still disabled) and still same problem. This is really disappointing and frustrating!

Have you tried http://docs.joomla.org/Upgrading_from_J ... _Your_Site ?

Also test with a standard default front end Template.

I did dang it!!

Does that mean
'I already did and No Avail' ?
or
'I already did and it works with a default Template or after running the checks' ?

Is 'dang it' Yankee slang for swearing at someone ? UK here and not familiar with Yankee slang.

Nope. Dang is not a swear word. It is an informal word of frustration. And that means that I did it to no avail. Sorry for not being clearer.

Ok, sorry to frustrate you by suggesting the obvious. But you would be surprised at how many times the simple things are over looked.

mbabker will no doubt find a fix for you.

You didn't frustrate me!! This "dang" Joomla version is frustrating me. I have more issues in the backend than I can handle.

Updated a live site and found the Template broke. Even after installing the updated I Template various things failed.

Only by restoring my backup, uninstalling the custom Template then updating and installing the updated version did I get the site working. Updating with the incompatible Template caused all the problems. Hours of work

How did you update ? The auto updater or another method ?

This all seems to look okay, but still get that error? The plugins are all enabled above. When I disable them, the SmartSearch Indexer works. Does not return any data, but it works until I activate any of the associated plug ins.

That is an odd error to say the least. In months of testing, I never encountered the undefined null error with any of the Finder plugins. I'll have to do some thinking and testing on this one and see what I can come up with.

BTW, debug really won't give you much data to work with since all of the index work is done using AJAX to communicate client to server.

Can you please test going to the command line and running the indexer CLI?
If you can access teh command line on our server go to the cli folder of your joomla site and type run finder_indexer.php and see if that runs the indexer for you.

Also can you check to see if the php extension iconv is installed? You can check that in the site information tab in your site administrator at the bottom of the "Relevant PHP Settings."

IconV is not available. I assume I might need that and do you know where I can download it? I can search for it, just thought if you know where it is, I'd get the right thing! I'll try running the indexer from command next. Sorry for the delay on this, I went home to sleep. Thank all for this help. I'll let you know soon what I find.

I see IconV is a PHP server setting. I'll chat with my IT guys right away.

Oh my goodness. I owe you a beer!! It works. I've enabled IconV and ran the script from command line and it worked!! I then ran it directly from Joomla backend and it works!!

Love it, does exactly what I wanted!!

If it's ok I'll jump onto this Mart Search thread with another SS error.

I'm trying to generate an Index and I get the following error:

An Error Has Occurred
Unable to load renderer class

I diasabled the plugins and re-enabled 1 by 1. I have isolated the error to the Content plugin which is a shame really because it's the only one I really wanted.

Any ideas of where to start looking ? I'm running 2.5.1

Just a suggestion, make sure your IconV is enabled in PHP. This solved 100% of all 2.5 issues I was having.

Which content plugin specifically? I know we had a similar problem in early builds of Smart Search after most of the refactoring from the Finder 2.0.1 release was finished, and I can't remember off the top of my head what exactly we did for that. I think the core Email Cloaking plugin might've been the culprit, and we had to add a context check to the plugin to get around it.

um, there is only one isn't there ?

Attached is a screen grab of the plugins I am talking about and the disabled one is the one that causes the error when enabled.

Should I be looking elsewhere ?

In this case, we're not talking about the Smart Search - Content plugin. In the plugin manager, set the "- Select Type -" filter to "content", which will only display content plugins. Then, disable all of them then enable one at a time until you start getting errors.

OK, this time I have it.

I worked on the non-core plugins first and got rid of the error.

I have two plugins that throw errors in smart search indexing when activated

Content - Image gallery - sigplus
Content - Load Module in Article

I do need both of them. I'll try and contact the developers now and point them to this thread.

Thanks

I've swapped emails with the author of sigplus. He's not sure what or why changes are required and couldn't find any dev documentation. Which direction can I point him in ? Or can I forward his email to someone who can help ??

Have him add this check to the beginning of his onContentPrepare method in the plugin. I don't think we documented it anywhere, but this context check will determine if the event is being called within the indexer context and exit, helpful for plugins that have issues with the indexer (this same check is used in the e-mail cloaking and load module plugins).

Great, thanks for that. It should be included in the next release of sigplus.

I updated the load-module-in-article plugin with this code. Seems to work.

Hi
I have the same error:
"undefined
undefined
null"
I`ve disabled all my site plugins except for the "Authentication-Joomla" and "Content-Smart Search". i have given 777 permissions to the logs folder.

One other thing: the other day I have changed the table prefix of my database.

I`ve just restored the old table prefix back but the error remains.

I don`t know how to give you some more technical information.

Any ideas ?

Did you check for iconv? Look at your php tab in the site info.
