Problem with Activation

  • Hi,
    tnx for your great plugin.
    Today I installed “nggtags for WordPress Media Library”, but when I tried to active it, gave me this error:

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_USE, expecting T_FUNCTION in /wp-content/plugins/nggtags-for-wp-media-library/nggtags-for-wp-media-library.php on line 564

    When I edited that line and removed this block:

    class Nggtags_for_Media_Library {
    use Magic_Fields_2_Toolkit_Post_Filters;}

    It did active, but It failed to convert my entire Nextgen galleries and just did 20 of them. All pages were created during the process but most of them were empty. and from 2000 pictures just 100 of them were migrate to the Upload folder.
    Can you help me to fix it?
    I have 3.8 ver of wordpress.
    tnx.

    This plugin uses Traits a feature from PHP 5.4.0. I think you are getting the syntax error because your version of PHP is 5.3.x or earlier.

    However, the trait code is not used in the conversion process so it is not the cause of the partial conversion. Is it possible that your server has forced a timeout? On larger databases it is possible that the server will timeout. Most servers enforce some time limit on an individual request. The plugin is designed to continue from where it left off if the conversion is restarted. It saves enough state in the WordPress tables to be able to know what it has already done and continue from there. (As I personally do not have a database large enough to cause a timeout I could only test this under simulation where it did work.) On a timeout the plugin cannot send any messages since it has run out of time but the messages are actually stored in WordPress tables where it is sent if the the conversion is restarted. Try and restart the conversion and see if more of the conversion is done. The order of the conversion is galleries, pictures, thumbnails then tags. I am conjecturing that the galleries were converted (but they would be empty) and then some of the pictures and a timeout occurred.

    While using this plugin to do a conversion I have encountered the same or very similar problem. In this case the problem is caused by the current WordPress upload directory already having a file with the same name as a NextGEN Gallery file. The code has a bug and does not increment a counter as it should and loops indefinitely. I will fix this in the next release but for now you can just rename or delete the duplicate file.

    I have fixed the problem with the duplicate file name and rewritten the conversion routine to avoid server timeouts. This is in version 0.3.1.
