Hi zoomlanski,

Yep, NZ is great, especially during our lovely summer Christmas! I've never done the skydiving, but Bungy Jumping in Queenstown... awesome.

Regarding your memory size problem - a 32MB mem size is fairly hefty and it's hard to imagine MetaMod itself maxing it out. Can you try setting the memory_limit in your php.ini file (if you have access to it):

memory_limit = 40M

You can often set that in a .htaccess file on most hosting partners:

php_value memory_limit 40M

If you keep bumping this higher and higher, and it still fails, then perhaps there's an endless loop that keeps allocating more and more memory. Does the script always fail at the same line in the file above? If it's different each time it's more likely to be some kind of endless loop, though it's hard to tell for sure.

Just to check that MetaMod is definitely involved: can you try assigning your module to the page *without* MetaMod being involved? Do you get the same error?

Cheers,
Stephen

Hi Tim,

it looks like the default memory limit has already been set for you, at 32M  (i.e. 32 MegaBytes). I'm suggesting that you find the right file to override this (usually either .htaccess in your html folder, or php.ini in your html folder, or talk to your hoster to increase it), and give it a higher value, starting at 40MB.

If you don't get the memory error when you are not using MetaMod (with memory limit set at your default of 32M), but you do get it with MetaMod even with memory limit set to something astronomical like 64M, then it would seem that MetaMod is triggering some very bad behaviour on your system. However if you can solve the problem by bumping up the memory limit just a little bit, then chances are you were close to the limit anyway and MetaMod just pushed it over the limit.

Make sense?
Cheers,
Stephen

Does this seem relevant?

// Load the module
        if (!$module->user && file_exists( $path ) && empty($module->content))
        {
            $lang =& JFactory::getLanguage();
            $lang->load($module->module);
$content = '';
ob_start();    <<<----- 172???
require $path;
$module->content = ob_get_contents().$content;
ob_end_clean();

I feel like a dork. Yes, it was a cyclical error on itself. Sorry to have wasted your time.

Rule #1 - reconfirm the module numbers
Rule #2 - see rule #1

On the positive side, I know how to increase memory size with GoDaddy.

Take care NZ. Thanks for your hard work creating this.
I'm happy to buy pro to pay for my stupidity!

Cheers
Tim
