[Plugin: Eventbrite for The Events Calendar] An error occurred while contacting Eventbrite

  • All the posts that have eventbrite boxes in them are putting out an error and won’t even show the event details article. (I changed the paths and ID for privacy).

    Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘Exception’ with message ‘An error occurred while contacting Eventbrite. Please review your information and try again.Error: Connection time-out’ in /home/user/site/wp-content/plugins/eventbrite-for-the-events-calendar/eventbrite-for-the-events-calendar.php:322 Stack trace: #0 /home/user/site/wp-content/plugins/eventbrite-for-the-events-calendar/eventbrite-for-the-events-calendar.php(400): Eventbrite_for_The_Events_Calendar->sendEventBriteRequest(‘event_get’, ‘id=xxxxxx’, xxx) #1 /home/user/site/wp-content/plugins/eventbrite-for-the-events-calendar/eventbrite-for-the-events-calendar.php(455): Eventbrite_for_The_Events_Calendar->isLive(326) #2 /home/user/site/wp-includes/plugin.php(166): Eventbrite_for_The_Events_Calendar->displayEventBriteTicketForm(‘<p>August 27, 2…’) #3 /home/user/site/wp-includes/post-template.php(166): apply_filters() #4 /home/user/site in /home/user/site/wp-content/plugins/eventbrite-for-the-events-calendar/eventbrite-for-the-events-calendar.php on line 322

  • @spadilla,

    Looks like an eventbrite api connection issue. Have you confirmed you have the right user key? We’ll take a look to see if we know what is causing it and at a minimum make it degrade gracefully.

    @spadilla

    Something seems to be weird with your Eventbrite connection. Do you have a link to a live version of this happening?

    Nonetheless, a slow or even faulty Eventbrite connection should not be causing a fatal php error. That is our fault, is a known issue, and is fixed in the next versions of the two plugins. The fix for this was a complete overhaul of our error system, so there is no easy hack I can post here.

    I would take Shane’s advice and double check your EB api key, seeing if you can get the fatal error to go away by not getting the EB connection time-out in the first place.

    Whether that works or not, you can avoid the fatal php error by not throwing the error. This only treats the symptom of the problem, but will keep your site from crashing. To implement this find:

    if ( curl_error( $ch ) ) {
   global $spEvents;
   $this->errors .= curl_error( $ch ) . "<br />";
   throw new Exception(__('An error occurred while contacting Eventbrite. Please review your information and try again.<br />Error: ') . curl_error($ch));
}<code>in</code>eventbrite-for-the-events-calendar.php

    beginning on line 319.

    Comment that out.

    Justin
