Hi, Jared.
It seems to be the same as here:
www.jomsocial.com/forum/socialize-templa...bar-is-broken#120479
No change. Please see other thread for explanation. I think the JS DB tables may need to be deleted and recreated through phpmyadmin? Could be a permissions issue not deleting everything. Thoughts?
Hi, Jared.
I assign template developer to this thread.
Hi, Jared.
Please, try to increase memory_limit: to 1024M.
I found the same issues with other templates based on t3-framework, he should also try to set `memory_limit 1024M` in server configuration. The drawback of T3 LESS compiler is that it require a lot memory...
one more thing, he can also delete all themes from `less/themes` that will increase the performance.
Hi Michal,
After the memory limit increase it appeared to work and then started not working again. I increased the memory limit again to 2048M and it still only works intermittently.
All of the LESS themes have been deleted as well. Maybe there is something I am not doing properly?
Please advise.
Hi, Jared.
It seems to be much complicated issue than we thought.
It's related with T# framework LESS -> CSS compilator.
Too many resources are used to do compilation... I see that T3 developers also break their heads on this...
We looking for possible solution...
I'll update you if we'll have it...
Hi, Jared.
Set:
max_execution_time: 120
memory_limit: 128M
(they are recommended settings by T3 developers).
Then try compile LESS -> CSS again. If you'll have error then add to URL ?themer=1 or &themer=1.
If after that will be no errors it means that your server can't manage compilation.
Last try could be changing php version to 5.3 or higher and try again...
This doesn't work and I am using PHP Version 5.4.4-14+deb7u14 on an Amazon AWS deployment so the server-side is good and should be able to handle this no problem. I will uninstall the template and reinstall a clean copy with no template overrides in effect and try again with the following:
max_execution_time: 120
memory_limit: 1024M
Fresh install and same issue. I get the Unexpected Error when pressing LESS to CSS button. Where are these errors logged? I cannot find them anywhere in my joomla logs.
If we cannot get this figured out then i will have no choice but to downgrade to Socialize 1.2.9 again. I will not touch any custom css or html template overrides until we can get it resolved.
Thoughts?
