ajaxSearch parsing problem (be gentle its my first time)

have built a few modx sites now, but this is my first snippitization -unfortunately one I need to make happen soonish.

have installed ajaxsearch 1.702 to modx 0.96, by replacing the code of an earlier version of the ajax search snippet, and putting a call to the snippet in a test template

When i’m going to the page I’m getting:

« MODx Parse Error »
MODx encountered the following error while attempting to parse the requested resource:
« PHP Parse Error »

PHP error debug
  Error: Unknown(MODX_MANAGER_PATH/includes/protect.inc.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory
  Error type/ Nr.: Warning - 2
  File: /home/musictherapy/musictherapy.org.nz/manager/includes/document.parser.class.inc.php(766) : eval()’d code
  Line: 22

Parser timing
  MySQL: 0.0322 s (5 Requests)
  PHP: 0.0874 s
  Total: 0.1196 s


I put the standard snippet call in my template:
[!AjaxSearch? &AS_showResults=`0` &AS_landing=`17` &showMoreResults=`1` &moreResultsPage=`17`!]

the test page is at:
http://musictherapy.org.nz/index.php?id=14

I’d be grateful for any advice

thanks

Check your config.inc.php file to make sure the MODX_MANAGER_PATH has been defined there. You should not see that in the path, you should see the actual path to your manager folder.

thanks very much for this susan - interesting - yes the config path was wrong (a while ago moved the modx files out of a /cms subfolder to the site root), but having fixed this in the config, i still get :

« MODx Parse Error »
MODx encountered the following error while attempting to parse the requested resource:
« PHP Parse Error »

PHP error debug
Error: Unknown(MODX_MANAGER_PATH/includes/protect.inc.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory

I’ve done a search of all the other files for any other incorrect pathing and haven’t been able to find anything else referring to the old /cms subfolder.

Dare I ask..any other ideas?

It’s not a matter of a wrong path, it’s that the constant MODX_MANAGER_PATH is not set when that is happening. If it were set, then you’d get the path instead of the text MODX_MANAGER_PATH. So either it’s not set in the config.inc.php file, or the config.inc.php file is not included at that point.

ta - i have to admit this is beyond my almost nonexistent php knowledge - but I’ll blag some local help to follow this up and I’m sure we’ll get there.

in the meantime going back to version 1.1 is working - which will be fine for now and I’ll (well, my client will) defer gratification for the joys of 1.7

thanks again

You may already have this covered but, depending on which version of AS you we’re upgrading from, you may want to double-check the name of the AS directory in your assets/snippets/ folder ... a very slight change to the casing was made recently from "AjaxSearch" to "ajaxSearch"—make sure the directory name begins with a lowercase "a."
