What needs to be done to convert PHP files for PHP 7.4?

 

[JoshyPHP]

I don't know and I'd have to manually compile PHP 7.4 to find out. What I'd do if I had to is I'd run the file using PHP's linter to check for syntax errors and correct those. Then I'd install the modified files and watch out for runtime errors. It's probably more work than upgrading PHP to a supported version.

On that note, I'd like to add that PHP 8.0 will be completely abandoned in 2 months. Developers are not maintaining it and Linux distributions will start dropping it. The minimum version I'd consider installing on a server is 8.1.

Hello, I have a problem with Spotify links, when I put them in it does not accept them and says: "you must add a valid URL", which is copied directly from the song link.

 

[JoshyPHP]

What was the URL?

 

[Runichin]

What was the URL?

Sad Eyes

Crystal Castles · Song · 2012

open.spotify.com

I just right click on it, copy it and when I enter it I get the error, I've always done the same thing and I never had an error until now, unless it's a Spotify error or I'm doing something wrong :c

 

[JoshyPHP]

That's the intl-es/ part that's causing some issues. If you remove it, you'll be able to embed that track's preview. I'll add support for it in the next update.

JoshyPHP updated s9e Media Sites with a new update entry:

Updated Spotify

This adds support for the new spotify.link short links as well as internationalized URLs.

Has anyone installed the latest versions for PHP 8 on PHP 7.4?

What's wrong with twitter tweets not working when embedded? Any idea? All over my site I get "this tweet isn't available" and or "loading tweet"!!

 

[JoshyPHP]

What's wrong with twitter tweets not working when embedded?

What's the URL for this tweet? What's your browser and what privacy features / adblockers do you use?

 

[KSA]

What's the URL for this tweet? What's your browser and what privacy features / adblockers do you use?

Literally any URL. Tested multiple browsers, two phones, laptop and PC same issue. No specific privacy features or adblockers is used.

 

[JoshyPHP]

Based on that information, your IP is blocked by Twitter.

You can try a VPN. Opera has a built-in VPN if you want to try it.

Alternatively, if your unidentified browsers have a built-in tracking blocker, it could prevent Twitter from loading. Or if your network has some sort of blocking at the DNS level, that might be it too.

What ip are you referring to? Twitter doesn't block IP as far as I know.

 

[JoshyPHP]

Well, based on the information you've given, that's the only explanation.

Have you tried Opera's VPN? Have you tried Firefox without tracking protection, with a new empty profile?

No actually I haven't. I will download Opera now and give it a go. It would weird if indeed turned out that my IP is blocked by twitter. I mean both ip my cellular network and home internet? But why?

 

[JoshyPHP]

I don't know. Twitter is sometimes blocked in some countries, and there's been some weird technical issues since the acquisition by Elon Musk, so I wouldn't be surprised if entire subnetworks are blacklisted somehow.

Although in my experience, when Twitter embeds do not load it's usually because people are using a privacy-preserving browser such as Brave, Firefox with Tracking Prevention, etc...

On desktop browsers you can take a look at the JavaScript/error console, see if there's anything relevant. You can also visit this page and see if it works on its own: https://s9e.github.io/iframe/2/twitter.min.html#1544607467853811712

 

[Chromaniac]

easiest way to check this would be to see if twitter embeds are loading anywhere on the web for you on the same device/browser i imagine. or share a url where tweets are not embedding on your board here or privately with the dev!

 

[Dkf]

No, everything that's inside an embed is controlled by their respective site but there's an option to add a white background behind Facebook embeds.

Nothing has changed in this regard?...
Thank You

I don't know what you mean but if you can describe what you did, what you expected, what you observed as a result, and how one differs from the other I will look into it.

Sorry. I already found the option to enable a white background for Facebook in the settings. (I have a black forum style)
After updating Google Chrome to version 117, the background of Facebook's content has changed.
I believe this is related to the new rules for working with the alpha channel in CSS.
