[Plugin: ArtistDataPress] Error when version 0.3 is activated

Just wanted to follow-up and say I downgraded my WP version to 3.1.4 to see if that was the problem, and the plugin does the same thing after that downgrade.

Hey ladyroboto,
I just posted another update 0.31 which fixes the issue with the widget (at least on my test site). Check that out and let me know if you have any more issues.

Hi slushman,

I really appreciate you helping on this, because I’m sure it’s not the only thing you have going on.

Unfortunately I’ve got a new error message popping up.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘;’, expecting T_FUNCTION in /homepages/16/d155448756/htdocs/kristencollosso/blog/wp-content/plugins/artistdatapress/inc/adp_widget.php on line 249

FYI I have deactivated every other plugin at the moment. And I’m upgraded back to WP version 3.2.1.

Thanks!

Hi slushman,

having the exact same problem after upgrading to the latest version too.

Hey muckypup and ladyroboto,
Sorry for the delay and all the errors. ArtistData’s XML feed does a 301 redirect to a Sonicbids URL now, so the feed URL they give you isn’t actually the URL for the XML feed. When I changed to the .3 version of ADP, I started using cURL to get the XML feed, but didn’t tell cURL to follow any redirects, so it gave errors when using the feed URL ArtistData gives you. I’ve changed that, so it should work now, check out the .33 update.
Thanks for your patience,
Slushman

Yes! Thank you so much for your hard work, slushman. It works great now!

I will say that while it provides a lot of great services for the touring independent artist, ArtistData is a horribly programmed mess. There’s a reason why so few people have successfully developed plugins that interact with it.

Thanks so much for this plugin! My friend (who this site is for, and who is also a musician in Nashville), will appreciate it as well!
