Countdown in a domain subdirectory

[Rocky Road]

Hi,

When enabling the module, I first got some complaints of opendir() and readir() about
/sites/sandbox.rocky-shore.net/files/countdown/

Then I tried to configure a countdown block in the right sidebar.
Here are the new warnings:

    * warning: fopen(/home/rockyroad/sandbox.rocky-shore.net/sites/sandbox.rocky-shore.net/files/countdown/0.txt) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/rockyroad/rocky-shore.net/drupal/sites/all/modules/drupal-ubuntu-countdown/releasecountdown.module on line 277.
    * warning: file_get_contents(/home/rockyroad/sandbox.rocky-shore.net/sites/sandbox.rocky-shore.net/files/countdown/0.txt) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/rockyroad/rocky-shore.net/drupal/sites/all/modules/drupal-ubuntu-countdown/releasecountdown.module on line 278.
    * warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/rockyroad/rocky-shore.net/drupal/sites/all/modules/drupal-ubuntu-countdown/releasecountdown.module on line 279.

HTH,
Best regards,

I just checked :
sites/sandbox.rocky-shore.net/files/countdown still not exists

This would have been a fully wide spread bug. This error would have resolved after updating cache. I added a partial copy of the function that pulls cache to the installation process of the module. This will create the directory as well as fill it.

After downloading the new version, I still had the error messages.
I then ran update.php , first automatically (didn't open the "Select updates" list).
Nothing changed, so I tried again, but no Countdown option was showing up in the updates list.

So I uninstalled, then reactivate the module.

Now I've no more error messages, but I couldn't get the block showing up, even when both checkboxes
(anonymous & authenticated users) are ticked.

Clearing cache doesn't help.

Sorry for that ...

Sorry, I should have mentioned that part.

Did you enable the module in the settings page?

Ok I'm tired today. I had actually enabled the module in admin/build/modules.
But then I went directly to admin/build/block and admin/build/block/configure/releasecountdown/0 .

Now I enabled the module on admin/settings/releasecountdown and it works :)
Nice job !
