X-DIGG - Digg for Adults - Submit Today

Pam:

When I wrote it, I prob used the wrong variable, or a depreciated variable. If I recall correctly, I had a problem with something similar to this on an unrelated plugin. Let me do some x-digging (ha), and see what I come up with.

@X-Digg: when I complete the debugging, I'll send you on a copy.

[pam]

What's weird is it's fine on 6 or 8 blogs, but the last 5 I tried to add it to gave the error. All use the same version of WP and all pretty much have the same plugins, too!

Okay, Pam. I'm debuging this by the seat of my pants, to see if we can get it working for you more quickly. under the global statement, you are going to want to add: get_currentuserinfo()

Like so:

/**The actual admin page**/
function x_digg_run() {
  global $user_level, $x_digg_user_threshold, $x_digg_slug;
  get_currentuserinfo(); //add this in to see if it works.
  if($x_digg_user_threshold > $user_level){
    die('You aren\'t allowed to do that, dave.');
  }

Let me know if this works...

[pam]

Still says I can't do it, Dave ....

[Lucky Cappuccino]

okay, for debugging purposes, select one of the blogs that isn't working.

find:

PHP Code:

die('You aren\'t allowed to do that, dave.'); 


replace:

PHP Code:

echo "Your current user level is insufficient to do that. Current User Level: $user_level";
die; 


[pam]

Bingo

Your current user level is insufficient to do that. Current User Level: 0

Which makes no sense since I'm the admin and the only one with access to these blogs

[Lucky Cappuccino]

Crud, I forgot to ask: are you using WP-MU installs?

[Lucky Cappuccino]

I'm obviously being a nonce and missing something obvious. The below code checks to see if the $userdata object has been created, then prints out its properties. If you are comfortable, run that and paste the results in here.

PHP Code:

global $userdata, $user_level, $x_digg_user_threshold, $x_digg_slug;
  get_currentuserinfo();
  if( is_object($userdata) ){
    $test_ar = array();
    $test_ar = get_object_vars($userdata);
    print_r($test_ar);
  }else{
    echo "The function isn't initializing the object for some reason.";
  }
  die;
  /*if($x_digg_user_threshold > $user_level){
    echo "Your current user level is insufficient to do that. Current User Level: $user_level";
    die; 
  }*/ 


[Lucky Cappuccino]

If the above code actually prints something a string of weird variables, then replace the old code with the following:

PHP Code:

function x_digg_run() {
  global $userdata, $x_digg_user_threshold, $x_digg_slug;
  get_currentuserinfo();
  if($x_digg_user_threshold > $userdata->user_level){
    echo "Your current user level is insufficient to do that. Current User Level: " . $userdata->user_level;
    die; 
  } 


I hate Hiesenbugs, and global variables. Global variables always lead to messes. If this doesn't work, we will start corresponding via PM to get this working for you.

[pam]

This plugin has been deactivated because your changes resulted in a fatal error.

[pam]

So I tried the 2nd one

Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

[Lucky Cappuccino]

Okay, we fixed Pam's problems.

For some reason, her original admin account did not properly set the user_level field in the object (and I assume, the db). By simply saving the record again (I believe she changed her password), the system righted itself and the plugin worked for her correctly. This issue may have occurred because of a hiccup during her WordPress installation. If you experience this sort of problem, go to your WordPress admin panel -> Users, click the "edit" link associated with the account, and click the "Update User" button to update the record. If that does not work for you, please reply in this thread so someone can solve your issue.

I will be sending an updated plugin which addresses code readability to x-digg in a few days. If any of you have additional issues, please post them here so they can be addressed.

[pam]

Thanks to Lucky for figuring out what this was ... as soon as I logged in with a new password, everything was fine. Weird error, weirder than being called Dave

Lucky -
Thank you for the assistance!! Lucky is actually the creator of the X-Vote Plugin for X-Digg - so I knew he would be the one to figure the issues out! Pam I am very happy you are now underway!

X-Digg will have a major server and site update on Wed. 1/30/08 from 7am to 10am EST - we will be closing submissions during this time. Hopefully we will not be down the full time, but there may be intermittent issues. It will also be posted on the site header of the site as a reminder - starting tomorrow. This maintenance will allow for more features, and even more continual growth for X-Digg.

Also I will be making a separate post tomorrow, I have obtained several discounted text link ads, and a few banner spots for adult webmasters. so Stay Tuned on the board tomorrow.

Hello All -

Just an update we have improved the "Related Links" tabs on the individual stories pages, so links to stories with similar tags will also appear (giving your stories/links an even better chance of being read). We also have made some updates and code improvement in the recent weeks, to increase load times, and increase site security.

If you have not heard, we also purchased a small TGP site, and converted it to a multi-site, adding a Photo Gallery module to X-Digg. While we are still working out some bugs we are hoping to have the Photo Gallery / TGP module completed within the next few weeks.

The requested improvements that many of you have been requesting such as a image upload button and the ability to add up to 4 (back) links on your individual profile pages, are also in the final stages of completion.

Don't know how I missed this thread - but I thought I would give the plugin a go on one of my blogs.
