[Plugin: ArtistDataPress] Warning curl_setopt() displayed instead of content

Hey JM,

Unfortunately, that’s a server config issue. I’ve tried to figure out a way around this, but PHP safe mode has to be turned off in order to get the XML feed from ArtistData. If you can turn safe mode off yourself, I’d recommend it. Everything I’ve read says turning safe mode isn’t a major security risk, but I’ve heard that some hosts (like GoDaddy) have it turned on to protect their servers. I can try to find another way around the issue, but the way it works right now is the safest and most secure way out there that I’ve found.

I am having issues with the widget. I have followd the instructions and have my feed entered in correctly but I just see “Please enter a feed in the options page” instead of my shows. Under settings layouts i can see an example of my shows so I know the feed is working.

Hey starrockdan,
Since you’re not having the exact same issue, can you start a new post? It’s best to keep issues separated on the forums so people can find answers later. ??

Hi Slushman,

I can’t access the settings from my dashboard for ArtistData.

I get this message: Your PHP settings are incompatible with ArtistDataPress. The PHP setting, open_basedir is currently . Please change the setting on your server to empty.

I’ve updated to the latest version of WordPress (3.4.2)

Any ideas? The main issue is that currently the date is not showing on my shows.

Many thanks,

Alex

Hey Alex,

I added that check in there to make sure people’s server settings were correct so they could run ADP, since I’ve had lots of complaints about it not working correctly. Unfortunately, this message means you’ll need to change the open_basedir setting so you can run ADP without issues. You’ll probably want to contact your web host to have them do it so its secure too.

On my server, open_basedir has no value, it looks like yours has “.”, which is a special settings, according to the documentation.

Sorry for the trouble, hopefully the server setting change will fix the dates issue too.

Hey guys,
0.5 switches from using cURL (and PHP) to get your XML feed to using a built-in WordPress function. This should resolve all the issues with the server settings. Check it out and let me know!

When I try and activate the plugin I get this error now.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_SL in /home/content/72/6270772/html/bonesWP/wp-content/plugins/artistdatapress/inc/adp_widget.php on line 58

Hey Dan,
Try the new 0.51 update. There was some weird line in the widget code, its out now.

That is the error I get with the 0.51 update.

Hey Dan,
For some reason, there was a conflict with my files when I tried to update it earlier and there was a bunch of gibberish added to the files, which is what that error refers to. I’ve cleaned all the mess out (I double checked them all on my development site) and they should be clean now. The latest version is 0.52. Let me know if you’re still getting that error.
Slushman.
