Our Demo was working fine until we added the "Display Demo Notice" plugin.

Now we get quite a few Undefined index errors. (Even when we removed the plugin and reset the demo mode to "0", the errors still persist.)

Notice: Undefined index: wysiwygLang in /home/demo/lib/wysiwyg.php on line 20
Notice: Undefined index: includeDomainInLinks in /home/demo/lib/wysiwyg.php on line 32
Notice: Undefined index: wysiwygLang in /home/demo/lib/wysiwyg.php on line 53
Notice: Undefined index: wysiwygLang in /home/demo/lib/wysiwyg.php on line 54
Notice: Undefined index: wysiwygLang in /home/demo/lib/wysiwyg.php on line 54

Thanks,

Chris

Hi Chris,

I'd recommend upgrading or making sure you have these values in your /data/settings.dat.php:

[wysiwyg]
includeDomainInLinks = 0
wysiwygLang = "en"

Hope that helps!

Yea, it sounds like it was just missing some settings values.

Glad to hear it's working again. All the best! :)

OK, now we have a new problem.

We upgraded to 2.04 and now receive the error:

Creating demo (please wait a moment)...
Error: Couldn't create demo after 12 attempts! Please contact us and let us know about this error!

Any ideas?

Hi Christopherb,

My first guess would be that you might be out of disk space on your database server. But if you can email me your FTP and CMS login details to dave@interactivetools.com I can take a look for you. Also include a link to this post.

Note: Email, don't post login details to the forum.

Hope that helps!

Dear Dave,

Can I set an existing live website CMSB in demo mode without affecting the rest of the website or do I have to install a second copy?

Hi Terry,

Yes, you can just put it into demo mode, you don't need a second copy. Whatever content you have in the system will be the default content all new users see. If a "demo user" changes the content then only they will see those changes.

Hope that helps!

Hi Dave,

Are the temporary tables removed automatically?

Thanks!

Hi Djulia,

Yes, they are. Old demos are cleaned up each time a new demo is created. Here's some details on how it works if you're curious:

It's all hard-coded but the max demo time is set in /lib/init.php:
define('MAX_DEMO_TIME', 60*60*1); // 1 hour

And the following two functions in /lib/common.php create and remove demos:
setupDemoIfNeeded()
_removeOldDemos();

Hope that helps!
