Blank Screen on new posts, threads, login, and admin

[xaoseric]

A user gets a blank screen when they want to post a new topic, reply to an existing one, try to login, or try to access the admin control panel.

I can confirm that viewing threads is working. From the looks of it, it appears to be an issue with the theme functions file.

I managed to do a fix on the login. It seems as though the OpenID integration was causing the error, plus undeclared variables in the mysql files. I'm still doing some tinkering, and I'll submit a pull request once I get them finished.

It's looking for openid.inc.php, I suspect that the openid library is outdated

Edit: this does appear to be the case

How aboud using Zend Openid?

Why use OpenID? There are plenty of third-party SSO other than OpenID IMO (Facebook and Twitter logins are the most popular, so why not replace OpenID with those?)

I like that idea better than openid :). With openid committed out, login page shows up, but sessions are not being created properly.

I tried commenting out OpenID code in login.php in the modules and I've been able to login successfully. I think a rewrite is in order for this one.

Or perhaps just disable OpenID for the time being.

Facebook, and twitter are used more than openid, so it would make more sense to add Facebook and twitter integration and add columns to allow the forum admin to specify the api keys for Facebook and twitter.

I have IceBB setup on my server as well. If you want, you can register, and try to login and you will notice that the login page works, but the session isn't being recognized. See the images below, you login but the session isn't recognized. I should also point out that the capitcha is not being generated as well.

I guess.

Another issue to add is that I recently setup a local development environment using Ubuntu with a standard LAMP stack + XDebug. I tried installing IceBB but it gives me a blank page after it asks me for the SQL details and my preferred username, and it doesn't even run the SQL queries. It works fine on Windows though, and all my other scripts run fine on my current setup, so that may be a compatibility issue.

The database sql file needs the ; before the closing quotation. It should be "ENGINE=MyISAM;";
