Tag Index offline?
« on: January 21, 2021, 04:34:43 PM »
I tried to access our beloved Tag Index and reached an error message:

Call to undefined function mysql_connect()

Tag Cloud, for what it's worth, appears to be functioning normally.

Thanks,
Wax

Thanks Wax, Mark should see this at some point - maybe he can easily fix it.

Hmmm... something, somewhere, has changed. I'll start by contacting our host.

It would be useful to know approximately when it last worked successfully. I used it a month or two back and it was fine.

Hi Rivers,
I visit the tags index most days, and the first day it did not work for me, I'm pretty sure, is Tuesday, January 19th. I gave it a day to see if it would come around and reported it on the 20th. I hope it's an easy fix, and thanks for tracking it down.
All best,
Johnm

Thanks John. Yep I found the problem and it's a pretty easy fix. I have to change the code slightly to make it compatible with some changes that must have occurred on the server. Basically it's an update, actually an improvement.

Should take me an hour or so in the morning, will post here when it's done.

Here's a status update. I made good progress and will be working on it again today.
There was, as is usual in such projects, a bit more to it than I first thought.

Thanks much, Rivers!!

Like Johnm, and I'm sure many others, I rely on the Tag ndex regularly. Glad to know any poster can add a Tag, so I will do so when I see the need.

Yes, thanks so much, Rivers! Having the site operating in good working order is necessary before anything else worthwhile can happen here. I really appreciate your expertise and taking on that site maintenance!
All best,
Johnm

Anytime guys, my pleasure, I learned a lot while substantially rewriting it.

I've also been doing some spring cleaning of the tags, merging duplicates with minor spelling differences, etc
