Seeing JSON Response when posting new discussion.

Using Vanilla 2.1.8p2, when I post a new discussion, a lightbox pops up with something similar to this:

{"DiscussionID":"","DraftID":"16555","FormSaved":true,"DeliveryType":"VIEW","Data":"PGRpdiBpZD0i[...TRUNCATED]","InformMessages":[{"CssClass":"Dismissable AutoDismiss","Message":"Draft saved at 2:56PM"}],"ErrorMessages":"","RedirectUrl":""}

The discussion posts, but it does not redirect to the newly created discussion.

    Hallo!

    Do you have any errors in your web console or on your server?

    Generally JSON data showing up in inform messages is due to your server outputting data but returning an "error" status code.

    What plugins are you running?

  • Thank you for the quick reply.

    Not getting much info from error log:
    PHP Fatal error: Exception thrown without a stack frame in Unknown on line 0, referer: http://www.ronsgoldclub.com/vanilla/post/discussion/

    Enabled Plugins:
    Flagging
    GC Points
    Role Titles
    Tagging
    Vanilla Proxyconnect

    GC Points is a custom plugin I wrote, but the error was happening before enabling that plugin.

  • Okay...looks like it may be solved...

    When I read your question about which plugins were installed, I went ahead and disabled all of them (except ProxyConnect and HtmLawed), and it fixed the problem. I reenabled one by one until the error returned. It was actually the "Getting Started" plugin that caused the problem. I didn't realize it was active until I looked at my config file.

    Thanks for the assistance!

    Does the problem occur with just Getting Started and HTMLawed enabled?

  • Yes. It occurs when only those two plugins are enabled.

    FWIW, I am extremely curious to know how Getting Started caused the autodraft endpoint to break.

    There is some bad implemented redirect issue on your page. If I open up http://www.ronsgoldclub.com/vanilla/categories I see a Vanilla forum for a second and then I'm redirected to your custom "Become a member" page. So I can access whichever content I like without registration.

    I guess the way the redirection is implemented is the real cause for your problems.
