[Plugin: classyfrieds] "failed to open stream" error.. why??

silasneo,

this makes absolutely no sense if you are running the latest version. (2.6)
line 35 in classyfried_listings.php reads :
$layout = file_get_contents(plugins_url('/layouts/'. $cfo['listing_layout'] . '.php', __FILE__) );

this clearly indicates we are looking for a file path with /LAYOUTS/ included in it, however your error message states :
MY_DOMAIN/wp-content/plugins/classyfrieds/themefiles/listing_2_columns.php

while it should read :
MY_DOMAIN/wp-content/plugins/classyfrieds/themefiles/LAYOUTS/listing_2_columns.php

if you are comfortable with the code editor what do lines 34-36 of your plugins/classyfrieds/themefiles/classyfried_listings.php say ?

Did you try re-installing and flushing the plugin ?

Did you by any chance modify any code on the plugin ?
If not, please send me a private mail as I’d be very interested to see what is going on. info at wordpressprogrammeurs.nl

Hi there wpprogrammeurs.nl

Thanks for your reply..
Your observation about the missing “LAYOUTS” was right… when i got this error on line 35, i attempted to fix it by removing the “LAYOUTS” but i have restored the code to the original form (version 2.6), so here is the present statement of the error:

Warning: file_get_contents(https://www.ekoconnect.com/wp-content/plugins/classyfrieds/themefiles/layouts/listing_2_columns.php) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: No route to host in /hermes/bosweb/web241/b2413/nf.ekoconnectcom/public_html/wp-content/plugins/classyfrieds/themefiles/classyfried_listings.php on line 35

I also did some research online and i read somewhere in stack overflow that this error may be related to the allow_url_fopen setting in my php.ini file.. mine is currently set to “off” , is this a problem?

GOOD CATCH, although technically not wrong I did use a URL call when a local path is preferred. You are correct that allow_url_fopen will block access to URL’s in this case.

There are actually 3 different files that make similar calls, I will implement changes in the next update.
In the meantime I would love to hear if the following changes work for you :

Replace the lines with ‘file_get_contents’ as follows.
classyfried_listing.php line 35
$layout = file_get_contents(plugin_dir_path(__FILE__) . 'layouts/'. $cfo['listing_layout'] . '.php' );

single_classyfrieds.php around line 34
$layout = file_get_contents(plugin_dir_path(__FILE__) . 'layouts/'. $cfo['listing_layout_single'] . '.php' );

cats-listing.php around line 37
$layout = file_get_contents(plugin_dir_path(__FILE__) . 'layouts/'. $cfo['listing_layout_taxonomy'] . '.php' );

In the meantime send me a PM and pick out a free commercial expansion from https://classyfrieds.com/category/downloads/ … good feedback and error-reporting needs to be rewarded.

Hello wpprogrammeurs.nl

Thanks for your tweak.. it worked remarkably well, the error has been fixed.

Many thanks

PS; thanks for the free expansion pack, how do i send send you a PM please?

good to see it works. version 2.7 has been updated with these changes and is now available.

mail me at the following address: info at wordpressprogrammeurs.nl

I tried to add 2 field into the form page by editing the page-classyfried_add_listing.php inside themfiles folder and…failure!

add_post_meta($the_new_id, 'price', $_POST['prijs'] , TRUE);
			add_post_meta($the_new_id, 'city', $_POST['city'] , TRUE);
			add_post_meta($the_new_id, 'cregion', $_POST['zip'] , TRUE);

How can this beautiful plug in for classified ads has no city and phone field? How can local publisher use this with minimum function,,,? but should be upgraded to premium?

I put the dropdown menu for the zip by adding this code and looks like runs well

<?PHP // zip or region
		if ($cfo['form_zip'] =="on") { ?>
		<div class="lefty">
			<?PHP echo $cfl[f_zip]; ?>
		</div>
		<div class="righty">
			  <select id="zip" name="zip" class="inputy" maxlength="50">
			<option value="">....Pilih Propinsi .....</option>
			<optgroup label="JABODETABEK">
			<option value="DKI">Jakarta</option>
			<option value="Bogor">Bogor</option>
			<option value="Depok">Depok</option>
			<option value="Tangerang">Tangerang</option>
			<option value="Bekasi">Bekasi</option>
			</optgroup>
			<optgroup label="Jawa">
			<option value="Banten">Banten</option>
                         .............
                        </option>
                       </div>

try first to modify an existing form field (like the year/make/model) , that’s easier than adding a new form field. Form fields and the text that goes with it are hard coded and referenced throughout.

It’s not enough to just edit one .php file.
