I havent' changed any page code that I recall and just noticed my slideshows were down. It appears that the xml files arent working.

What I did do is install 2.14 and 1.06 website plugin and tested the plug. I didn't look at the slideshows before the upgrade but dont recal or havent had any complaints about them being down. Here is the error on the xml.php page:
Couldn't start session! 'session_start(): Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/xxxxx/public_html/xml.php:1)'!

<?php


// load viewer library
$libraryPath = 'cmsAdmin/lib/viewer_functions.php';
$dirsToCheck = array('/home/xxxxx/public_html/','','../','../../','../../../');
foreach ($dirsToCheck as $dir) { if (@include_once("$dir$libraryPath")) { break; }}
if (!function_exists('getRecords')) { die("Couldn't load viewer library, check filepath in sourcecode."); }

// load records
list($csr_slideshowRecords, $csr_slideshowMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'csr_slideshow',
));


?><<?php ?>?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<SlideshowBox>
<items>
<?php foreach ($csr_slideshowRecords as $record): ?>
<item>
<?php foreach ($record['slide'] as $upload): ?>
<thumbnailPath><?php echo $upload['thumbUrlPath2'] ?></thumbnailPath>
<largeImagePath><?php echo $upload['thumbUrlPath'] ?></largeImagePath>
<fullScreenImagePath><?php echo $upload['urlPath'] ?></fullScreenImagePath>
<?php endforeach ?>
<title><?php echo $record['title'] ?></title>
<description>
<![CDATA[<?php echo $record['dsc'] ?>]]>
</description>
</item>
<?php endforeach ?>
</items>
</SlideshowBox>


thanks for the support.

Hi,

This type of error is usually caused by there being something at the top of the page before the first <?php tag. This is normally just a blank line. What happens is that blank line is interpreted by server as output, and put in the output buffer. If there is already output, you can't create a session, which is what the membership plugin is attempting.

Try making sure that your <?php tag is at the very top of the page. That should take care of the issue.

Thanks

Definitely nothing before the opening php tag. It's the first and only thing on the line with nothing before it. :/

Is it something to do with:

?><<?php ?>?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

That was a trick Dave showed me when I think I had trouble getting that line to show up or something. (would have to look up my old thread).

Hi,

It's strange that it's telling you that there is output coming from line 1. Could you attach the .php file your working with so I can take a closer look at your code?

I just used the same slideshow xml code from a working site with another version of CMSB. It only gives the error on this site.

I could be wrong but this seems to back up the fact that these slideshows worked until upgrade?

note, I forgot to change the list code when copying from my other site but still not getting past that error.

list($csr_slideshowRecords, $csr_slideshowMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'csr_slideshow',
));

Hi,

My guess would be that your other site isn't running Website Membership, which is why it isn't running into any session errors.

Try this change:

<?php
$libraryPath = 'cmsAdmin/lib/viewer_functions.php';
$dirsToCheck = array('/home/xxxx/public_html/','','../','../../','../../../');
foreach ($dirsToCheck as $dir) { if (@include_once("$dir$libraryPath")) { break; }}
if (!function_exists('getRecords')) { die("Couldn't load viewer library, check filepath in sourcecode."); }

// load records
list($slideshowRecords, $slideshowMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'csr_slideshow',
));

?>
<?php header('Content-type: application/xml; charset=utf-8'); ?><?php echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>'; ?>
<SlideshowBox>
<items>
<?php foreach ($csr_slideshowRecords as $record): ?>
<?php foreach ($record['slide'] as $upload): ?>
<item>
<thumbnailPath><?php echo $upload['thumbUrlPath2'] ?></thumbnailPath>
<largeImagePath><?php echo $upload['thumbUrlPath'] ?></largeImagePath>
<fullScreenImagePath><?php echo $upload['urlPath'] ?></fullScreenImagePath>
<title><![CDATA[<?php echo $upload['title'] ?>]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<?php echo $upload['dsc'] ?>]]></description>
</item>
<?php endforeach ?>
<?php endforeach ?>
</items>
</SlideshowBox>

Hope this helps
