[Plugin: TagPages] Fatal Error on line 46

    Hello,
    I get a fatal error on activating this plugin:

    “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /usr/local/pem/vhosts/262364/webspace/httpdocs/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/tagpages/tagpages.php on line 46”

    Now I’m being forced to develop this on a sub par server, that is running PHP 5 as a CGI application, so there is a good chance that’s messing with things. Never use Dotster as a host by the way!

    What’s on line 46 that would cause this kind of an error? I’m guessing it’s a PHP5 function.

    Thanks for the help.

    Hi Drew,

    That’s really strange. – It seems like the checks against the tagpages object cause some error. – Can you try to change the following line (e.g. in your plugin-editor http://yourdomain.com/wp-admin/plugin-editor.php):

    Original code: if (empty($tagpages) || !is_object($tagpages) || !$tagpages instanceof TagPages)

    to

    Variant 1: if (empty($tagpages) || !is_object($tagpages) || !($tagpages instanceof TagPages))

    or to

    Variant 2: if (empty($tagpages) || !is_object($tagpages) || !is_a($tagpages, 'TagPages'))

    If it still doesn’t work, you can also try to delete this line completely. So only $tagpages=new TagPages(); will be left afterwards.

    Hope that helps.

    Hey Berny,
    Thanks for the help. I managed to fix it by using Variant 2, but then I got a fatal error on line 59.

    It’s totally because Dotster is running some weird PHP5 setup. So don’t worry about it, I’ve got to get the client to switch over a real host.

    If anyone is reading this, don’t ever use Dotster!

    Thanks for the help!

    Hi Drew,

    That’s even more strange. – Looks like your client’s host does not have these object-related language constructs (instanceof) enabled?

    Anyway, if you want to continue on testing, please let me know, I don’t have much spare time, but I’m also curious…

    Hey Berny,
    Thanks for the help, but I just had the client switch to MediaTemple. There were so many issues with Dotster, we were rinsing hours trying to get WP to play nice with their servers.

    Thanks for the help!

    By the way, what do you do for work? Are you available for freelance projects? We are always looking for pro plugin builders, and I like what you have done with TagPages.

    Thanks!

    Hi Drew,

    You’re welcome, though my help wasn’t that fruitful. 😉
