Sass Compiler warning: css problems on option panel

[w3b-beweb]

Debug info:

PHP Version: 5.3.10
Redux version: 3.3.9.27
Wordpress 4.1
Dev mode on/off
Redux embedded in my theme
2 php warnings

I have a filesystem problem with SASS compiler:

WARNING: wp-admin/includes/class-wp-filesystem-ftpext.php:150 - ftp_fput() expects parameter 1 to be resource, null given
require_once('wp-admin/admin-header.php'), do_action('admin_enqueue_scripts'), call_user_func_array, ReduxFramework->_enqueue, reduxSassCompiler::compile_sass, WP_Filesystem_FTPext->put_contents, ftp_fput

WARNING: wp-admin/includes/class-wp-filesystem-ftpext.php:213 - ftp_chmod() expects parameter 1 to be resource, null given
require_once('wp-admin/admin-header.php'), do_action('admin_enqueue_scripts'), call_user_func_array, ReduxFramework->_enqueue, reduxSassCompiler::compile_sass, WP_Filesystem_FTPext->put_contents, WP_Filesystem_FTPext->chmod, ftp_chmod 

as result, UserOpts-redux.css is missing in wp-content/uploads/redux

If it can be helpful I have already setted up those constants in my wp-config.php:

define( 'FS_CHMOD_DIR', ( 0755 & ~ umask() ) );
define( 'FS_CHMOD_FILE', ( 0644 & ~ umask() ) );
define( 'WP_TEMP_DIR', ini_get('upload_tmp_dir'));

define('FTP_USER', 'xxxxxxxxxxx'); // Your FTP username
define('FTP_PASS', 'yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy'); // Your FTP password
define('FTP_HOST', 'zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz'); // Your FTP URL:Your FTP port

and all other WP interactions with filesystem are ok.

Thanks in advance, Daniele.

Looks like Wordpresses own filesystem code isn't working like it should. As near as I can tell, those errors come from the lack of FTP credentials, which their own code checks for null and should kick back a login screen...but a null value is getting through for some reason, and causing this havok.

        if ( isset($this->options['ssl']) && $this->options['ssl'] && function_exists('ftp_ssl_connect') )
            $this->link = @ftp_ssl_connect($this->options['hostname'], $this->options['port'], FS_CONNECT_TIMEOUT);
        else
            $this->link = @ftp_connect($this->options['hostname'], $this->options['port'], FS_CONNECT_TIMEOUT);

        if ( ! $this->link ) {
            $this->errors->add('connect', sprintf(__('Failed to connect to FTP Server %1$s:%2$s'), $this->options['hostname'], $this->options['port']));
            return false;
        }

$this->link is the 'null' given in parameter one, when it should have kicked back that error above.

I don't have the first clue as to whom I should report that too. I'll play with it some and see what I can do.

Okay, so here is what I need you to try: I updated Redux to v.3.3.9.28. In it, I modified the filesystem routine, to hopefully deal with whatever is happening. I'd like you to install this update and report back, whether it fixes it or not. If not, we need to discuss the possibility of server access, so we can see first hand where the failure occurs. Then we'd have a better idea of how to fix it. :)

Thanks Kevin for your quick (as usual) answer 'n' fix!

I've installed v. 3.3.9.28 and now the css is compiled and loaded, so the options panel looks OK even if warnings still stay in place:

    WARNING: wp-admin/includes/class-wp-filesystem-ftpext.php:150 - ftp_fput() expects parameter 1 to be resource, null given
    require_once('wp-admin/admin-header.php'), do_action('admin_enqueue_scripts'), call_user_func_array, ReduxFramework->_enqueue, reduxSassCompiler::compile_sass, Redux_Filesystem->execute, Redux_Filesystem->do_action, WP_Filesystem_FTPext->put_contents, ftp_fput

 WARNING: wp-admin/includes/class-wp-filesystem-ftpext.php:213 - ftp_chmod() expects parameter 1 to be resource, null given
    require_once('wp-admin/admin-header.php'), do_action('admin_enqueue_scripts'), call_user_func_array, ReduxFramework->_enqueue, reduxSassCompiler::compile_sass, Redux_Filesystem->execute, Redux_Filesystem->do_action, WP_Filesystem_FTPext->put_contents, WP_Filesystem_FTPext->chmod, ftp_chmod

Furthermore, after a little search for redux+SASS, that has leaded me to this post:

http://reduxframework.com/2014/12/redux-sass/

I've tried to disable the sass compiler and I noticed that options panel's css files are loaded (without php warnings of course), but admin-color-schemes.css is not, so I miss some of my color customizations based on the selected admin color scheme.

I can ignore the warnings above for now, so feel free to close this issue as resolved. Let me know if you like to take a closer look and need a server acces.

Thanks!

Please send us server and WP access to support@reduxframework.com. We'd like to solve this properly. ;)

[w3b-beweb]

email sent!

[w3b-beweb]

Please ignore the issue on admin-color-schemes.css. I'm adding it with an add_action so it's my fault if it is not enqueued the right way with sass compiler disabled

[kprovance]

LOL...and I was lying awake at 5am trying to figure out why. :P Glad you have ti worked out. Hopefully Dovy will get this other thing squared away soon. :)

[w3b-beweb]

ooops, so sorry 😞

[dovy]

OK, so I think I fixed this. It LOOKS like you're using suPHP. Apparently WordPress doesn't feel the need to support this. So I tinkered and found a backwards way of making it happen. Either way, it works now. No more errors. The code's on your server AND the code's now in the core.

Merry Christmas and thanks for the use of your server!

[dovy]

See https://wordpress.org/support/topic/filesystem-credentials-very-bad-practice-and-totally-unnecessary for WP's opinion.

[kprovance]

I can see why that thread was slammed shut. No challenging the monarchy! ;-)

[w3b-beweb]

First of all: thanks Dovy and Kevin, this is SUPPORT!
As of suPHP, I personally setted up that webserver so I was a little surprised it was running suPHP without me knowing, but you know, is an ubuntubox so apt-get install this, apt-get install that and forget about it! (more or less) 😄
Well, suPHP is not installed, but php5-suhosin is, so I think it could be the culprit.

Merry Xmas to you both, and to all Redux team!

oh, just a little thing, I left a comment on e74b57b, line 102 with a fix for undefined FS_CHMOD_FILE. Actually, if this constant is not defined, $chmod is empty for "copy" and "put_contents" actions.
