GForum::do_func is freezing on me :(

Hi guys. Can anyone see a reason as to why this code would freeze on me?

Code:
sub pm_normal { 

    print $IN->header(); 
    # GForum::Message::sent_messages(); 

    use GForum; 
    GForum::do_func('message_list'); 
    exit; 
}

If I comment out the bits in red, it runs fine, but obviously just gives a blank page.

Basically, all I want to achive, is some way to show the normal PM system front-page (where you can view sent/recieved PM's all on one page).

TIA

Try:

Code:
sub pm_normal { 
   require GForum; 
   return GForum::do_func('message_list'); 
}

The message_list action will print a header on it's own so there's no need to explicitly print one. Also a "require" is better than a "use" as it won't load the module again if it is already in memory.

See if a GT::Plugins->action(STOP) before the return line helps.

Remember to import STOP at the top of your module.

I'm kinda getting there. It seems that what this is doing;

Code:
sub pm_normal { 
   GT::Plugins->action(STOP); 
   require GForum; 
   return GForum::do_func('message_list');  
   #exit; 
}

... is actually showing the results several times (10 times, before I stopped it).

I don't quite see why its doing this Unimpressed

Code:
      if ($a eq "pmmanager" && !$b) { 
        &pm_show_front_page; exit; 
      } elsif ($b eq "pmmanager_normal") { 
        &pm_normal; 
     } ... etc

I'm gonna stop for the night now. My head is really hurting now :(

Someone PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.

This is one of the very few questions I ask... but no-one ever seems to answer my questions ... are they too hard? Unsure

Otherwise I'm just gonna have to leave this feature out. Its frozen my computer 6 times now, and crashed it 5 (this is 2.4Ghz machine, with 1Gb RAM, so its pretty hard to crash).

It seems that do_func() is just looping, and giving an endless list of PM's over-and-over again .. which in the end just topples the computer, as it get to 2-3mb in vrutally no time Frown

(which IE can't handle very well, and thus crashes).

Someone must know why this isn't working Unimpressed

Finally got it fixed :)

I ended up just using my own code to grab the message list ... Its a bit more long winded than I was hoping... but I was just getting a bit fed up with trying to get it all working with the current routines :(

Should have a beta release later today/tomorrow :)
