Description of my issue:

Hi Nicholas,

I was checking one of my site pages that contains playable audio files. The program is Pro Magic Audio Player. Here is the error message on the Public website page:

Warning: substr() expects parameter 2 to be long, string given in /home/mysite/public_html/modules/mod_nmap/mod_nmap.php on line 251

Here is the message on the module management screen:

Fatal error: Call to a member function children() on a non-object in /home/voegelin/public_html/modules/mod_nmap/elements/pjus.php on line 73

So I went to .htaccess maker and made exceptions in "allow direct access and php files for the files I am aware of:

modules/mod_nmap/
plugins/content/nmap/
plugins/sound_files

I also added these individual files:

plugins/content/nmap.xml
plugins/content/nmap.php

But all I got was the same error message with a non working image of the sound player. I note the type of player, etc:

type="application/x-shockwave-flash" id="nmap_32" data="http://www.mysitew.com/modules/mod_nmap/audio/nmaplayer.swf?id=32" width="360" height="260">

I checked the web page in Firebug and Google Chrome using the "Net" technique you previously recommended for a different problem, but there were no errors shown in either developer program.

I attached a screen shot of the public page appearance.

So there it is. And I am totally lost : )

Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks, Nicholas!

I updated the ProJoom player to the pmap series from the nmap.

Then I deleted the exception folders I had put into .htaccess maker (because I like things tidy!). But the result was completely unexpected. NO AUDIO PLAYER visible at all!

Then I went back in and reinstalled the exception folders:

modules/mod_nmap/
plugins/content/nmap/
plugins/sound_files

And it works perfectly. (screen shot attached)

(Interesting, even though I installed the upgrade which calls the files "pmap," the file names on the server are still named "nmap" so I did not rename the three exception files.)

So, I think it was a player problem but also an access exception need, too. :)

Thanks for all you do!

Best,

Lowtech
