Thread: Orca not working in Dolphin 5.6.0000

I've just done a clean install of Version 6 onto my laptop which seemed to go well. However, when I try to admin the Orca Forum via the Dolphin Admin panel, I get this message

PHP Code:


Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated - argument passed by value; If you would like to pass it by reference, modify the declaration of [runtime function name](). If you would like to enable call-time pass-by-reference, you can set allow_call_time_pass_reference to true in your INI file. However, future versions may not support this any longer. in W:wwwdolphinorcaclassesForum.php on line 929

Any ideas?

I don't do much work with Orca - at this time, we prefer our 833-Forum script.

But you could do as it indicates, or ask your host to edit your server php.ini file and enable allow_call_time_pass_reference and restart apache. You may also be able to do this with a local php.ini or .htaccess entry.

Another work if you can not modify your server php.ini or set this value in a local php.ini or via .htaccess is to check the Orca code - perhaps they are using code like this

Code:

xml_set_object($this->_parser,&$this);

and it should be this

Code:

xml_set_object($this->_parser,$this);

(example only, this is not actual Orca code).

Are you really running BoonEx Dolphin 5.6.0?

If so - you should upgrade to BoonEx Dolphin 5.6.2 - since BoonEx Dolphin 5.6.0 was a release pulled by BoonEx hours after it was posted due to problems.

If you are on BoonEx Dolphin 5.6.0, and stay there - you will be perhaps "alone" as nobody is running and supporting that release.

Thanks for the replies Smoge.

I was originally using the 5.6.0001 release, but as I'm only messing around on my laptop and not a real site, I've just done a clean install with the 5.6.0002 release.

I had the same problem, so I tried your suggestion about editing the php.ini file. This worked as far as the messages went away, but I've now got a blank screen when I try to admin the forum. I think I've seen some other posts mentioning this problem so I'll go and see if there's any solutions offered...

I know you do a commercial integrated forum release (833-Forum) but I can't justify the cost for what is in reality an academic exercise to see how Smart Community Builder works. I may just try the phpBB integration to see how that flies.

I'm also trialling phPizabi...

Cheers,

Simon

Really - Windows is not supported well.

You should do your testing in a proper Linux environment

You will perhaps (if your laptop is WinDoze) be more successful using a Linux environment.

SimonFinch was running it on Windows - are you also?

no I'm running the site on a dreamhost.com server

Check this tread - perhaps your hosts server config does not have all the extensions that Orca requires:
