Unable activate plugin

    8 years, 8 months ago

    I’m unable to activate plugin. I receive following error:

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION in cronjob-scheduler/cronjob-scheduler.php on line 411

    I have PHP 5.2.17, if this help.
    On my pc this plugin is awesome, but here I have PHP 5.6.
    I think I have to convert this code to PHP5.2 compatibility:

    public function get_schedules () {

        $schedules = wp_get_schedules();

        uasort($schedules, function ($a, $b) {

            // if schedules are the same return 0
            if($a['interval'] == $b['interval']) return 0;

            // return comparison int
            return $a['interval'] < $b['interval'] ? -1 : 1;
        });

        return $schedules;
    }

    Please help

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

    Hi @jfan2006 – please try downloading the latest version (1.17) that I have just released to fix this issue.

    @vladurash – thanks for the report. I cannot see why you are getting this error but I will look into it and see what I can find.

    @vladurash I have deployed version 1.18 which should fix your activation issue – it was because PHP 5.2.17 doesn’t support anonymous functions within uasort.

    Please let me know how you get on!

    @chrispage1 activation is ok.

    But now I can’t see anything in Settings>Cronjob Scheduler. No info about wp-config or anything else. Please check

    @vladurash – would you be able to get a screenshot of the whole section for me please?

    Thanks,
    Chris.

    @vladurash sorry about that. It seems version 1.18 refactoring introduced a bug which has since been resolved in version 1.19 – please download and update and let me know how you get on.

    I made some test playing with PHP versions on my test website (dev, not prod).
    So, on PHP ver 5.2.17, my dashboard looks like this: https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=15AD985AD8F96418!100735&authkey=!AM_sjTawQ21Bj2I&v=3&ithint=photo%2cpng

    Using higer version for PHP (eg 5.3), it works (https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=15AD985AD8F96418!100736&authkey=!ABtHcdRutjWGcfg&v=3&ithint=photo%2cpng)

    Unfortunatelly, on prod website I don’t have access to cPanel to change PHP version (owner won’t make this change).

    I have also updated plugin to version 1.19 as you instructed. No changes for PHP ver 5.2.17

    Please can you enable WordPress WP_DEBUG (https://codex.www.ads-software.com/WP_DEBUG)

    Also, is there anything in your error_log files?

    Unfortunately I am unable to replicate the issue at the minute so need all the information I can get.

    I don’t have any error_log on server.

    With DEBUB enabled I have following lines in Setting>Cronjob Scheduler

    `Notice: date_default_timezone_set() [function.date-default-timezone-set]: Timezone ID ” is invalid in /home/serpante/public_html/wp-content/plugins/cronjob-scheduler/cronjob-scheduler.php on line 15

    Okay thank you that helps me a lot. Of course it is the __DIR__ magic constant which doesn’t exist in PHP 5.2! Please could you update your file under wp-content/plugins/cronjob-scheduler/cronjob-scheduler.php with the contents from the following pastebin – https://pastebin.com/XX03wwjn

    This will update you to version 1.20. If everything runs smoothly then I will roll out support for PHP 5.2

    All the best,
    Chris.

    Well, googleing these errors, i found some fix

    You have to replace __DIR__ with dirname(__FILE__) on lines 328, 188 and 181 in file cronjob-scheduler.php

    Please check this and confirm it ??

    Later edit: we had same opinion ??
