js-banner-rotate undefined link errors

    13 years, 6 months ago

    Firstly I am a php newbie so please make any responses in very simple terms.
    I just started to put to together a WP site and download js-banner-rotate, activated it and put the jsbrotate lines into header.php

    The images I am using are all formatted to 1000 x 288 for the twentyeleven theme. Each has been tested and work fine and have correct alignment. When I use the js-banner-rotate plugin I get two issues :

    1. Only first image shows, nothing rotates and get undefined index errors

    2. The image alignment gets screwed up and the image span past the right hand side my my background.

    Any help would be most welcome.

    The whole of the header.php file is below and a copy of the errors is below that.

    header.php …….

    <?php

    /**

    * The Header for our theme.

    *

    * Displays all of the <head> section and everything up till <div id=”main”>

    *

    * @package WordPress

  • This is a new one … can you provide a link to your site?

    Also, what versions of WordPress and PHP are you running?

    Thanks for your reply.
    Wordpress version is 3.2.1
    PHP Version 5.3.5-1ubuntu7.2
    I had not even got the first page completed before I hit this issue, so it is not public. I have opened it temporarily on
    https://220.233.7.100/wordpress

    I am open to the likelyhood of me having done something really stupid, but can’t quite see where I have done it, so any help would be most appreciated.

    cheers

    Also Eric, I have also just noticed that if I load the webpage from a browser on the actual server using localhost/wordpress then at least the first image is visible even though there is no rotation, but if I view the page from any other machine else then no image is visible at all. (I am assuming you will see no image)
    Could this be related, or maybe it is something totally unrelated ??

    I’m thinking that might have something to do with it, yes. Basically, the plugin builds a large HTML element of stacked <img> tags and fades them in and out in order. The element itself, though, has a background set to be the same as the first image.

    So if you’re seeing the first image, then the background is being set right and it’s a rotation problem.

    The “undefined index” problem is likely because you’re running in debug mode for development. It’s an issue that will be fixed in the next version (I was unaware of debug mode when I first release the plugin a couple of years ago, and never went back to clear out the notices).

    The lack of rotation is also related to the path issue (localhost versus IP) above:

    You’ve opened https://220.233.7.100/wordpress/ as the site so that I can view things. That works fine, but https://localhost/wordpress/ doesn’t work from this end (because localhost points elsewhere).

    When I looked at the source of the page, all of your JavaScript is being enqueued from https://192.168.1.20/wordpress/. I assume this is the local IP of the server … but in a browser it won’t work. So in your header, all of your scripts, styles, and even feed links are pointing to 192.168.1.20 rather than a domain. This will happen if you have that coded as the site URL for WordPress, so you should really look at doing things differently.

    When I develop locally, I set my Windows hosts file to point the domain at the appropriate server. Let’s say https://www.mysite.com is parked at a “coming soon” page at 1.0.0.1. My server address is actually 1.0.0.2. I’ll set my hosts file to point https://www.mysite.com to 1.0.0.2 and then set things up as if the server were live for production.

    The advantage of this is that all I need to do when I’m finished is repoint https://www.mysite.com at the appropriate server. Until I do that, everyone sees the parked page and only my machine sees the real site.

    Not 100% sure, but this might help in your situation …

    Thanks for all your help Eric. You were right, it was all caused by my shoddy setup. I would normally have done it the way you suggested but I was in such a hurry to try out WP etc. that I stupidly cut corners not thinking of the consequences. I ended up just blowing the whole thing away and reinstalled correctly. Took no longer really and all worked smoothly. It has been a good lesson – Do the basics right ! Topic Closed.
