[Plugin: Events Manager] Getting a Parse Error when trying to activate plugin.

are you sure you have the latest version of EM (3.0.3)?

Yea 3.0.3, just downloaded it last night.

I can’t see anything wrong on that line, otherwise I think we’d get a lot more complaints about this. Could you try re-installing?

Also, if you have any other event plugins installed, at least deactivate them.

Nope nothing. Pretty much a fresh, installed it maybe a week or two ago. Oh well.

I’m curious as to the problem here…

Can you break line 8 up into this:

$booked_seats = $EM_Event->get_bookings()->get_booked_seats();
$available_seats = $EM_Event->get_bookings()->get_available_seats();
echo "[{bookedSeats:". $booked_seats. ", ";
echo "availableSeats:". $available_seats ."}]";

and inform me of any errors you get?

oh, and update to the newest version 3.0.4 which was released yesterday.

I have the very same problem. Installed the newest version about an hour ago, no other calendar scripts/plugins running.

Sadly I still got the same error after breaking up the line like you suggested.

Can you give me the error? I need to know what exactly is breaking it, as it works fine on our tests.

Thank you for your super quick response!

It’s indeed the very same, as far as I can judge:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR, expecting ‘,’ or ‘;’ in /www/htdocs/w00886f5/larc/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/events-manager/ajax.php on line 8

… and I get this error when I try to activate the plugin (=fatal error).

much easier to keep on top of it when we get email notifications ??

if you contact me on https://netweblogic.com/contact/ and provide ftp details and admin user credentials I’ll have a look and see

also, please confirm that you’re having this issue when activating, and/or not on other occassions.

Yes I was having the problem when trying to activate it. No other plugins were installed. I’ll try breaking that line up and see what happens

Tried it and still getting the same error.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /home/kevin74/public_html/phoenixsportclub/dev/wp-content/plugins/events-manager/ajax.php on line 8

I can’t duplicate this issue, I need a site I can test this on where the problem shows. If you can contact me on the link above I’ll have look.

So from what it looks like the server didn’t have a specific version of php configured. It was enabled but set on a system default setting, even though the cpanel was showing it running php 5.2. I enabled php 5 and everything seems to be working now.

Only thing is now I’m having an issue with displaying a list of events. It keeps defaulting to 5 even when set it to display 1 event. Is this a known issue?
