You can easily change the path to the image in
vbseo_buttons.css

Code:

.vbseo-likes-hearts {
    background:url("../images/forum/vbseo_like_bg.png") no-repeat scroll 100% 2px transparent;
    height:16px;
    position:absolute;
    right:10px;
    top:15px;
    z-index:1;
    *z-index: 10006;
}

to whatever you want. it is a background image in the css.

vb4:

Code:

<dt>Liked</dt> <dd>{vb:raw post.vbseo_likes_in} times</dd>

vb3:

Code:

<div>Likes: $post[vbseo_likes_in]</div>

No, this is not planned to be changed. If you want it to show all the time, you will need to add a window.onload event listener to call the display.

check scripts/vbseo_ui.js for more details if you want to customize it.

If you require different sizes, changing just the image may break layout, so see above for the css block to edit.

WTF is this ?

Well my site is down, and I can't access the admin cp due to the error above. Great.

Please make it optional then. In the prefs you add an extra choice whether to make it visible or the default mouse-over visible.

I'd file a support ticket for that scenario, as that will be your most expedient route to resolution.

On the flip side, your site is up and accessible for me, with the warning you reference being displayed at the top.

What version of php is your host running?, as this has typically been associated to php4 execution.

I've done that, without any response. I'm sort of short of patience right now, as my site is messed up while I wait for support. I also have to leave for a few hours, and I guess I'll have to leave the site messed up.

Line 111 is:

Code:

vBSEO_UI::cms_hook(&$view);

Line 104 has a similar parameter as well:

Code:

function vbseo_process_cms_article(&$view)

It may be the "&" in association to your php execution version.

The code is relative to vB CMS functions, and is new. Personally, I would make a real quick attempt at removing the '&' in line 111 and see what happens, being prepared to change it back if it degrades. Pretty simple actually. If it works, be on the lookout for an error in Line 104. Now, this isn't a fix, but a workaround for you. Since this isn't happening to others, you really need to see what your php execution environment is configured like.

I avoid RC versions on the main software for my production site, as they are still in flight until Gold.

Can't find "vBSEO_UI::cms_hook(&$view);" in the file.

I am looking at the ../vbseo/includes/functions_vbseo_seo.php file right now (for vBSEO 3.6 RC1) and it is there on line 111, without a doubt.

I would make sure you uploaded all the files to the proper directories on your server, as if it is not there, that would be a problem, and indicative of incorrect files being in place. It is NOT there in the 3.5.2 and prior vBSEO versions of this file.

Looks like you got it fixed ... incorrect files reuploaded?

Sorry, I did find it, it did rectify the issue one issue. But I'm finding my CMS css looks all messed now too.

It's clean in IE8, Chrome, Safari, but in Firefox 3.6.13 it is fouled up for me.

Like I said, removing that '&' is not a fix (and I would also recommend removing the line 104 duplicate parameter), it is just a workaround for that deprecation message. Is you php running as 4.x or is php4 installed? You should be running php5 in php5 mode wherever possible.

3.6 is likely feature locked at this point. Perhaps in a future version this will be expanded upon with more features. We can never please 100% of everyone with what we do. We think this is the best way for both user interaction and SEO (keeps the actual links out of the source code for bots so your top content doesn't get riddled with like and share keywords.)

php 5.3.x is more strict about these errors. They likely don't show on 5.2.x installs.

has a fix.

There may be others like it. Please report anything you find in the bug reporting forum.

It is sunday night.... Our ticket response time is offically 24-48 hours on the weekend (see the pdf with your download for a complete chart of our Service Level Agreement). You only had to wait an hour

As mentioned, you should never run any non-gold software in a live production critical environment. There WILL be bugs, and some may be detrimental to your site, database, or otherwise. While we always attempt to release the best bug free code as possible, no software is perfect and we simply don't have 100 environments to test on to find certain server-related or php version issues like this.

If you're still having issues, please open a new thread with errors details for troubleshooting. This is an announcement forum and shouldn't be used for support issues.

Thanks for clarity Brian. I am glad to see that my remediation path was actually the same as what you posted in your referenced thread (I must have learned something over the years, and I hadn't seen your post).

Now, back to the announcement thread purpose. As stated before, can't wait for the MaxCDN integration in 3.6 Gold...

Thanks for the help!
