Connections Erroring Out … Sort Of

    Hi Steven,

    Thank you again for this brilliant plugin!

    I’ve noticed that recently (the past week or two) I get an error message across my screen when I enter a new member’s listing and click Add Entry:

    Warning: count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable in ../wp-content/plugins/connections/includes/geocoder/provider/class.algolia.php

    (I’ve snipped the path to my WP root from the URL.)

    My first assumption is that it’s a server issue on my side, but I figured I’d come whining to you first to see if you can figure it out for me!

    I’m very grateful for any assistance you can provide!

    DJ

    A quick addendum: when I go to the listing after the error message, the listing is perfect. I don’t see any issues with the result itself.

    …Although I do occasionally have a spurious “Anniversary Date” that pops up in listings after we edit the info. (The “Anniversary Date” is always the day’s date that we made the edit.)

    But that’s a different issue!

    BTW, our Connections page is at:

    Thanks again!

    Can you confirm that the line number for the warning is 206? I’m nearly 100% certain but I want to make sure.

    In regards to the anniversary date… I’ve never seen that before. I assume you are not adding any dates correct? What are is Fieldset Config settings for the Date fieldset (found on the Connections : Settings admin page under the Fieldset Config tab)?

    Steven,

    You are correct — the line number is 206.

    I neglected to include the full error message. There are actually THREE lines that come up:

    Warning: count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable in ../wp-content/plugins/connections/includes/geocoder/provider/class.algolia.php on line 206

    Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at ../wp-content/plugins/connections/includes/geocoder/provider/class.algolia.php:206) in ../wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1251

    Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at ../wp-content/plugins/connections/includes/geocoder/provider/class.algolia.php:206) in ../wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1254

    There has to be a clue in there somewhere!

    Thanks again,

    DJ

    Thanks… I have implemented a second check so PHP should no longer output the initial warning. With no initial warning the two other warning should not display either. 🙂

    I’m planning on releasing an update by end of day tomorrow which contains this fix.

    In the meantime… please see this FAQ:

    How do I hide PHP Warnings and Notices?

    This is considered to be a best practice on live sites.

    Hope this helps!

    ps.

    If you have a moment, I would truly appreciate a review as they really do make a difference.

    Thanks in advance for your time!

    @shazahm1hotmailcom Thanks for asking for a review but don’t add filter=5 to the link. That intentionally hides all of the other reviews and is a little disingenuous.

    I’ve removed your link from your post.

    Steven,

    Thanks for the update — and I had already read your article about hiding PHP warnings. I figured that was my next step.

    I will start a separate topic on my “Anniversary Date” issue. (Unless your next update covers that, too.)

    And I posted a mega-positive review for Connections months and months ago — I wish all plugin authors would be as responsive and proactive as you are!

    Thanks again!

    RE: I will start a separate topic on my “Anniversary Date” issue. (Unless your next update covers that, too.)

    Yes, please open another issue… the next update will not contain a fix. One reason is because I can not even begin to think of a reason why that would occur.

    If you can take a screenshot of the Date Fieldset Config and share it in your new support issue post, that would be a great first step.

    From wp.com support site, here are a few ways you can share that screenshot with me:

    • Upload the screen shot to a third party service like Snag.gy, Droplr or CloudApp and then share the image link from that service with support

    Thanks!
