[PHP] Tag-Board

[boyCradle]

Hi everyone!

im using a free tagboard script for my site. after uploading and re-uploading the files thrice i have finally made it working, but with few errors. It is actually the best free tagboard i have found, they dont require links to their website.

here’s the download link:
http://www.cj-design.com/index.php?id=downloads&page=5

I have no background on PHP and im simply relying on the installation guides.

I would like to ask help to configure the errors, so everyone could use it easily. i tried asking for some help to their forum, but just look at those unanswered posts.

http://forum.cj-design.com/viewforum.php?f=11

i’m asking help not just for my website, but so that everyone could use the script that actually works withour errors.

I think htmlcode.dat has errors in the first place.

I made some modifications of the tagboard for my site and these are the errors that i have found.

I’m using HTMLs instead of PHP, so i have to copy and paste the content of **htmlcode.dat. **if i’ll be using PHp, i will just use

<?
include(“tagboard/htmlcode.dat”);
?>

1. The Links on the whole HTML page are affected by the modifications i made at config.php. instead of just having the links at my tagboard controlled by the modifications, everthing is messed up. So I Just deleted the the Link syntax at config.php.

2. Everytime i post a message. an error occurs. it says :

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home2/catalyst/public_html/tagboard/config.php:93) in /home2/catalyst/public_html/tagboard/tag.php on line 147
to view the post i have to refresh the page.

here’s the link to my website:
http://catalyst.shyper.com/index2.html

thank you very much!

Somewhere in the script it wants to send some headers to the users browser. But there has already been sent some HTML to the user, so it’s too late to send headers. You can’t send any HTML before the headers. The HTML is sent by the code in line 93 in config.php.

If you post config.php and tag.php I’m sure someone can pinpoint the problem.

Remember that anything outside of <?php and ?> is treated as data - including whitespace (space, tab, linefeeds).

My guess is that you added a blank line to either the first or last line of the file. Remove that blank line, and you’ll probably fix the problem.

Here is the ORIGINAL CODE from the HTMLCODE.DAT
