hi, I use the droplet ShowSection to display some pictures in my sidebar menu (main navigation)
All works fine on local but on my webhost, no pictures are displayed but only the command
[[ShowSection?section=11]]
I inserted the code in the index.php of my template:
<div id="sidebar">
<div class="subtabs">
<?php show_menu2(2,0,1); ?>
[[ShowSection?section=11]]
</div>
here's the complete code:

have I to define some parameters as explained in the example:
[[ExampleDroplet?dir=mydir&width=300&height=200]]
What's "dir" ? is it the directory of the called page?
Who can help me?
Friendly yours

Your Droplet doesn't need any additional parameters. Are you sure you enabled (installed) the Droplet module in the WB version on your host and that section 11 exists? Does this section contain the pictures you want to show?
Maybe its all obvious to you but sometimes these little things can drive you crazy if you didn't think about it. So just in case..
Hans
EDIT (see posting from PCWACHT hereunder): As far as I know the ShowSection Droplet isn't included in the standard package so you have to add it to the existing droplets after installing the module itself.

All works fine on local but on my webhost, no pictures are displayed but only the command
If you see the droplet ie: [[dropletname]] in your output then droplets is NOT installed correctly.

hi, in Admin.Tools, Droplets are installed:
Droplets
This tool allows you to manage your local Droplets. (v0.3 - jan 31 2009)
The ShowSection is not a standard droplet and I had to copy and to paste the code myself
The page ID is 11. I see it in the adress line of the browser:
page_id=11
I don't know what I did wrong.
-
No one knows? I did exactly the same droplets installation on the server as on local.
The droplet text is displayed instead of the results. I don't understand.
-
Is your production server configured the same as your local server? I'd guess that's where the problem is.
-
[...] The droplet text is displayed instead of the results. [...]
As for me i realy got trouble to understand this line of text:
do you mean the "droplet"-name, e.g. "[[showMyDropplet]]" or
do you mean the droplet-code itselft????
If you droplet isn't parsed it could be a permission problem of the modul itselft (644??, 744 instead of 755,775),
but i assumee an typos in the name.
as for the droplet-php code itselft i would place some changes to
get more details if something is going wrong, e.g.
<?php // ignore this line - it's only for the syntax-colouring
global $database, $wb;
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);
$get_content = $database->query("SELECT content FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."mod_wysiwyg WHERE section_id = '".$section."'");
/**
* Any errors? If so ... we simple returning the err-message from the db
*/
if ( $database->is_error() ) return $database->get_error();
/**
* No errors but also no result: section_id doesn't match?
*/
if ($get_content->numRows() == 0) return "Sorry - no section_id match for ".$section;
/**
* No errors and at least one result ... we're taking the first one
*/
$fetch_content = $get_content->fetchRow();
$content = $fetch_content['content'];
$wb->preprocess($content);
return $content;
?>
Also differ PHP Versions could be an issure, so what php version is running on the server (phpinfo)?
Also: have you deinstalled and reinstalled the droplet-module or have you replaced the files via ftp?
If so - i guess it's the permission as the ftp-user doesn't have //right// to execute.

Thanks. I see the droplets name with the double brackets.
Yes I desinstalled and reinstalled the droplets module twice and it 's displayed, it would be properly installed.
I see the droplets list in the backend under Admin-Tool.
I check up now the write rights of the directories.
Here are the server information:
Apache version 1.3.41 (Unix)
PHP version 5.2.5
MySQL version 5.0.67-community
Architecture i686
Operating system Linux
Kernel version 2.6.18-92.1.10.el5

The droplet is NOT properly installed, or you have an older version of WB
Check following:
index.php in the root needs to have
if(file_exists(WB_PATH .'/modules/output_filter/filter-routines.php')) {
somewhere around line 82
Allso during installation of droplets, the install routine will try to modify a file in /modules/output_filter
One of these seems lacking on your second install.

I use wb2.7. From the line 89 in my index.php in the root of the server (public_html) I have this:
if(file_exists(WB_PATH .'/modules/output_filter/filter-routines.php')) {
// include the output filter module routines
@require_once(WB_PATH .'/modules/output_filter/filter-routines.php');
if(function_exists('filter_frontend_output')) {
// store output in variable for filtering
@ob_start();
require(WB_PATH.'/templates/'.TEMPLATE.'/index.php');
$frontend_output = ob_get_contents();
@ob_end_clean();
// Display the filtered output on the frontend
echo filter_frontend_output($frontend_output);
die;
}
}
I've just deinstalled and tried to reinstall the droplets on the server: after installing, here what I get:
Droplet import: SiteModified
Droplet import: SearchBox
Droplet import: Oneliner
Droplet import: Skype
Droplet import: PreviousPage
Droplet import: NextPage
Droplet import: ParentPage
Droplet import: Lorem
Droplet import: Text2Image
Droplet import: RandomImage
Droplet import: LoginBox
Droplet import: ModifiedWhen
Patching frontend output filter.......

waouw, It works now great. I pasted the following line in the filter-routines.php and not in the index.php:
// run the droplets function
if(file_exists(WB_PATH .'/modules/droplets/droplets.php')) {
include_once ( WB_PATH .'/modules/droplets/droplets.php');
$content = evalDroplets($content);
}
-
Glad to see it is working...
