white page on addlinks

[OmniBuzz]

Hi,
Everything installed just fine, except that when I want to submit a link, addlink.php open as an empty page...
If I turn off Verify New Links in the admin of vbalinks, everything is just fine , and I can add my link...

Any idea what should I fix ?
Thanks

Sounds like an error is being generated, but your host has error reporting disabled... Try going to Admin CP => vBa Links Directory => Modify Settings => Main Options => Remote Site Function. CURL and fsockopen are the only options for that setting, so change it from whatever you have selected now to the other one and see if you still have the same problem afterward.

Fixed (thanks), I changed from CURL to fsockopen and I can add links.
Still cannot load the meta tags from a link, probably due to the same issue (?)

Try submitting a link to vbadvanced.com and see if it's able to grab the meta data from here. If not, then your host likely has the get_meta_tags() PHP function disabled.

Hi, it does have get_meta_tags enabled ! Still nothing happens... where in your script do you call this function ? Could it be due to the fact that my forum is behind a passworded .htaccess plus in SSL ?
Thanks for your help

It's called within the links/addlink.php file. You could try finding this line in there:
$meta = @get_meta_tags($link['linkurl']);

Remove the @ symbol, upload the file, then try to submit a link again and see if it shows any errors at the top of the screen after choosing the URL/category.

Thanks I will try that.
