Fatal error on activation

I’m having the same problem – any ideas?

I just started having this error pop up:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function xml_transform() in /home/intraaud/public_html/wp-content/plugins/ez-staff-list/framework/core/structure/objects/element.class.php on line 140

Sorry for the delays guys. It’s amazing how fast time flies by.

@bill and laura:
Your issue has to do with your theme, which uses the same function name as my plugin. This is the 2nd time I’ve had this problem come up.

There are a few ways you can fix this:

1. We can change the function name in my plugin to be called “fw_image()”, which I’m thinking I don’t want to do.

2. We can change the spot where it calls image() to use standard html like so:

Note: it looks like I’m calling image() function 2 times.

The first spot:
/plugins/ez-staff-list/plugins/staff_management.class.php at approx line #273

Change:

$staff_members[$key]['staff_photo'] = (!empty($staff_member['staff_photo'])) ? (image($staff_member['staff_photo'])) : ('');

To:

$staff_members[$key]['staff_photo'] = (!empty($staff_member['staff_photo'])) ? ('<img src="' . $staff_member['staff_photo'] . '" />') : ('');

The 2nd spot at approx line #548

Change it to:

$image = (!empty($staff_member['staff_photo'])) ? ('<img src="' . $staff_member['staff_photo'] . '" />') : ('');

I just tested this change on my site and it works still:

Let me know if you need help.

If you just started having that problem and it was working before, you might want to contact your hosting provider to see if they updated any PHP extensions / modules. xml_transform() gets included only if DOM XML / libxml is enabled.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Luke. I tried adding the changes you recommended to the ez-staff-list/plugins/staff_management.class.php file and when trying to activate i get the same error.

It’s ok though. I understand it’s a conflict with my theme and you don’t have to worry about killing yourself trying to fix something that only applies to a couple themes.

I may have found another plugin that does something similar so no worries on my end.

Thanks for the great support though. All plugin authors should be as responsive.
