johngeorgeOK. I'm going crazy here. I've found a lot of threads devoted to the register_activation_hook function, but nothing with the problem I'm having.
I've been trying to create another table during installation of a custom plugin, but nothing was working. I put WP into 'debug' mode, but it doesn't throw any errors other than
"Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error."
My code looked something like
$wpdb->location_tracking = "{$wpdb->prefix}location_tracker";
function location_tracker_activate()
{
global $wpdb;
$create_table_sql = "
CREATE TABLE {$wpdb->location_tracking} (
id int AUTO_INCREMENT,
lat float(10,6),
lng float(10,6),
primary key (id)
)
";
require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/install.php');
maybe_create_table($wpdb->location_tracking, $create_table_sql);
}
register_activation_hook(__FILE__, 'location_tracker_activate');So, I'm now just trying to kill the process during my installation, but I just get the same result. Nothing 'dies', I just get
"Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error."
function location_tracker_activate()
{
die('WTF?');
}
register_activation_hook(__FILE__, 'location_tracker_activate');Another strange thing is if I register a function that doesn't exist, I have no errors thrown at all.
register_activation_hook(__FILE__, 'mungy_mungy_mungy');
I'm obviously doing something stupid... but what?
(Oh, and everything's being declared in the main plugin file "wp-content/plugins/location_tracker/location_tracker.php")
