Today I added the suggestion block to my GL. the followng code was added to my lib_custom.php
Text Formatted Code
function phpblock_suggest(){

   global $_TABLES, $_CONF, $_USER;

   $message="what would you like to see on the site?";
   $siteurl = $_CONF['site_url'];  

   if($_USER['username'] != ''){
               
                // we only need the email cos we know the username.  They have already passed validation and therefore
                // this cannot be spoofed.  So, only select email from the database.
                $result = DB_query("SELECT email FROM {$_TABLES['users']} WHERE username = '{$_USER['username']}'");
        $U = DB_fetchArray($result);
                $username = $_USER['username'];
                $useremail = $U[email];
                if($useremail == ''){
                        $useremail = 'anonymous@anonymous.com';
                        }
               
                }elseif($_USER['username'] == ''){
               
                $username = 'Guest';
                $useremail = 'anonymous@anonymous.com';
                }
               
        $display ="";
        $display .="<B>Hello $username, $message<B><BR>";
        $display .="";
        $display .="<BR>";
        $display .= "";
        $display .= "";
        $display .= "";
        $display .= "";
        $display .="";
        return $display;

}
Now when I bring my site up I have this error at the top: Warning: fopen("/home/sardog/logs/error.log", "a") - Permission denied in /home/sardog/public_html/lib-common.php on line 1555 I never made any changes to the lib_common.php. Also when I try to log out I get a flash of about 4 errors but its not long enough to see what they are. It refreshes back to my GL too quick. I can tell that 2 of the erors are in the lib_common.php and the other 2 are in users.php. How can I correct this?

I also added suggest.php to my /public_html which has the following code:
Text Formatted Code
<?php
   include('lib-common.php');
   global $_CONF;  
   $email="anonymous@anonymous.com";
   $adminemail = $_CONF['site_mail'];
   // Suggestion Box phpBlock created by Mr.GxBlock of http://www.gxblock.com Please don't remove this message.    
   echo COM_siteHeader();
   if($suggest != ''){
     if(strlen($suggest) < 10){
          echo COM_startBlock('Error');
          printf("Please go back and enter insert at unique message with at least 10 characters.");
          echo COM_endBlock();
          echo COM_siteFooter(true);
          exit();
          }
         if($suggest == '$textareamessage'){
          echo COM_startBlock('Error');
          printf("Please go back and enter insert at unique message with at least 10 characters.");
          echo COM_endBlock();
          echo COM_siteFooter(true);
          exit();
          }
          $suggest = str_replace(array(">", "<",""", "&"), array(">","<", """, "&"), $suggest);
          $suggest = stripslashes($suggest);
          $suggest = COM_checkWords($suggest);
      mail
      (
      "$adminemail",
      "From Your Suggestion Box - A New Request",
      "Name : $username from $REMOTE_ADDR
       Email : $useremail
       Note:
       $suggest
       ",
       "From: $useremailn"
      );
         echo COM_refresh($HTTP_REFERER);
         echo COM_startBlock('Your suggestion has been proccessed');
         printf("Thank you $username, you are now being transferring back to previous page. You may also <A HREF="$HTTP_REFERER">click here</A>.");
         echo COM_endBlock();
         echo COM_siteFooter(true);
         exit();
   }else{
         echo COM_startBlock('Error');
         printf("Please try again.");
         echo COM_endBlock();
         echo COM_siteFooter();
         exit();
   }
 ?>
Could any of this code be causing my problem?

You have to change permission on the error and access logs to either 775 or 777. If you check your system error log, the other errors may be written there. If not, when you run this again they may show up in Geeklog\'s error log after changing permissions.

It works also with 666.

666 does not work for those using shared hosting.

I'm running in to the same problem... I've set the permissions to 755, and it just returns the "Please try again." Error page... did I miss something? I copied the function to the custom_lib... I get nothing.

Any thoughts?

Sorry, it's a slightly different problem.

It's just not working.

site_email is correct
permissions are correct

I'm at a loss.

http://www.neohmusic.com is the site.

Looks like it works for registered users (didn't get the error). Did you get the test suggestions from me? If so you must have resctricted emailing in config.php. Check there.
