  • Message base echo

    From Jon Justvig@1:103/705 to Digital Man on Thu Mar 2 18:36:46 2017
    DM,

    Any particular reason why I am receiving this error on the web side of one of my SBBS message base echoes:

    !JavaScript c:\sbbs\mods\../web/lib/msgslib.ssjs line 147: TypeError: hdr is null

    It only appears on one echo. Is there a way to fix this without
    reconstructing the whole sub-board?

    ---

    The clean_msg_headers function from that file is being called from somewhere else, and is trying to operate on a null message header. Could be a message that was deleted and purged from the sub.

    Try updating web/lib/msgslib.ssjs to the latest from CVS. I just put in a change which may work around this for you. Unfortunately there are probably loads of other problems like this in there.

    echicken,

    !JavaScript c:\sbbs\mods\../web/lib/msgslib.ssjs line 147:
    TypeError:
    hdr is null

    The clean_msg_headers function from that file is being called from
    somewhere
    else, and is trying to operate on a null message header. Could be a
    message
    that was deleted and purged from the sub.

    Not sure where that might be.

    Thanks for the file. I put it in there and the messages are appearing now.
    I haven't run into a problem (yet).
