[phpBB Debug] PHP Warning - 3.3.11

Post by WMP »

Hello, three seems to be a small issue with my phpbb 3.3.11 forum. It shows this debug error once. If I refresh the page it goes away.

Code: Select all

<b>[phpBB Debug] PHP Warning</b>: in file <b>[ROOT]/vendor/s9e/text-formatter/src/Configurator/TemplateNormalizations/AbstractNormalization.php</b> on line <b>172</b>: <b>Couldn't fetch DOMElement. Node no longer exists</b><br />
<b>[phpBB Debug] PHP Warning</b>: in file <b>[ROOT]/vendor/s9e/text-formatter/src/Configurator/TemplateNormalizations/AbstractNormalization.php</b> on line <b>172</b>: <b>Couldn't fetch DOMElement. Node no longer exists</b><br />
<!DOCTYPE html>
Can anyone please offer assistance? Thank you.

Does it happen with other browsers or if you clear both browser and phpBB caches? Were you doing anything to your board before this warning started happening? If not, as it’s a PHP warning, I suspect your host may have changed the PHP version (or something else) without mentioning it to you, you should ask them, show them the error.

It seems to only do it one time after I purge the cache, as far as I can tell. I cannot specifically recall if I had made any type of php file changes prior to this beginning. The only php file I have made changes to are the language files. I noticed this about a week ago.

Thank you for the helpful reply. I will ask my host if they have made any php server adjustments. [redacted]

I have recently added ABBC and ShareOn extensions as well.

My host says everything seems fine on their end, and to ask the software developers about the error.

What does the file do anyway? Maybe that would help me to figure out what I may have done or not done correctly while doing edits or working with extensions.

Code: Select all

[phpBB Debug] PHP Warning</b>: in file <b>[ROOT]/vendor/s9e/text-formatter/src/Configurator/TemplateNormalizations/AbstractNormalization.php</b> on line <b>172</b>: <b>Couldn't fetch DOMElement. Node no longer exists<br />

[phpBB Debug] PHP Warning</b>: in file <b>[ROOT]/vendor/s9e/text-formatter/src/Configurator/TemplateNormalizations/AbstractNormalization.php</b> on line <b>172</b>: <b>Couldn't fetch DOMElement. Node no longer exists<br />
/vendor/s9e/text-formatter/src/Configurator/TemplateNormalizations/AbstractNormalization.php ... Couldn't fetch DOMElement. Node no longer exists

What is it looking for? Would making edits to any of the language files cause this?

TextFormatter is 3rd-party library which internals I'm afraid can be explained by its author only.
As the library handles parsing posts and BBCode, probably something related happens (broken BBcode, broken text content in some manner, files broken by editing, etc). Also it's possible to be some extensions interferring, PHP version incompatibility and so on.
I guess some more information is needed to get an idea, like f.e. presented in Support Request Template.

What happens when you deactivate these two extensions?

Thank you for your suggestion, I forgot I could just disable the extension without having to uninstall it completely.

I disabled the 'External Link In New Window' extension and that fixed it.

This is the on I have. I will try to find another ext for the target="_blank" function.

What about https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/extension/elonw/ as an alternative?

That extension does seem to have active support so maybe ask about PHP Supported Versions, i.e. 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3 at the time of this post.

Thank you. I will try.

It may have conflict with ShareOn ext. Maybe, not sure.
