How to turn off error display and log instead?

[3246]

I have some issues with plugins generating warnings or info messages in the browser, which I tried turning off by editing the config file as suggested in the Piwigo forums (https://piwigo.org/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=185383#p185383).

Sadly neither editing the ~/local/config/config.inc.php helped nor did using .htaccess. In all cases, I restarted the app to no avail.

How can I turn error messages off and turn on a log with actual errors, not warnings or info messages?

You can put those in /app/data/php.ini like:

error_reporting=On
display_errors=Off

Restart the app. Does htat work?

It seems the app has no customizable php.ini . Just pushing out a new package.

OK, please check with the latest package.

Amazing! Thank you @girish I'll give it a try now.

Argh. It still produces some output in the browser:

Getting another error when trying to send notifications:

Warning: Mailer Error: Could not instantiate mail function. in /app/code/include/functions_mail.inc.php on line 904

@3246 Can you tell me some steps to reproduce? In the initial post, you mentioned some plugins causing the messages. Which plugins?

[3246]

@girish thank you. The plugin in the example at the top is 'ShareAlbum'. All I do is visit the sharing link (https://photos.segebrecht.com/?xauth=tDpiswojbqxw) and note the Deprecated messages at the top of the page.

The second case should possibly be its own 'ticket' but is related. Go to an album and send a notification to a subscribed member. You'll either get errors from Piwigo about email not being configured and the PHP errors shown on the page as well, or you get a positive notification from Piwigo that your email was sent but it actually isn't and you can see PHP errors on the top of the page.

Atleast with the ShareAlbum plugin, I got a sql error. It's trying to access a table which doesn't exist (it seems to think tables are prefixed)

 Fatal error: Uncaught mysqli_sql_exception: Table '86fb7cb533a59d00.piwigo_user_group' doesn't exist in /app/code/include/dblayer/functions_mysqli.inc.php:132 Stack trace: #0 /app/code/include/dblayer/functions_mysqli.inc.php(132): mysqli->query() #1 /app/data/plugins/ShareAlbum/include/sharealbum_functions.inc.php(348): pwg_query() #2 /app/data/plugins/ShareAlbum/include/public_events.inc.php(70): sharealbum_is_poweruser() #3 /app/code/include/functions_plugins.inc.php(264): sharealbum_add_button() #4 /app/code/index.php(351): trigger_notify() #5 {main} thrown in /app/code/include/dblayer/functions_mysqli.inc.php on line 132

Actually, it's a bug in the upstream code. It assumes a hardcoded table prefix - https://github.com/petitssuisses/piwigo-ShareAlbum/blob/cf5f43f3e154e532542bdbdb45b051974e66876e/include/sharealbum_functions.inc.php#L347

@3246 OK, so this was not do with php.ini. piwigo's default config shows errors and it overrides the php.ini config.

Put this at the top of the file (after <?php line) in /app/data/local/config/config.inc.php:

$conf['show_php_errors'] = '';
$conf['show_php_errors_on_frontend'] = false;
