Lester, thanks for doing this so quickly I love your plugz.

Congratulations on taking the time to update your plugins to Wordpress 2. The plugins you provide a most useful and beneficial to the wider WordPress community.

Could you post the link to the 1.5.2 versions? Is there a reason why you chose to only make them available on request, considering the large number of sites that still use 1.5? Thanks very much. Rohan.

Thanks Lester. It’s awesome when I can apply 2.0 plugs to a 1.5 WP install. I tested out the WP-email plugin on a 1.5.2 blog and it works fine except for a couple things:

Long hyperlinks do not wrap and will print off the page (for me).
Footnote plugin that I use does not work (tags not recognized) - but that is expected. http://www.elvery.net/drzax/2005/07/29/new-wordpress-plugin-footnotes/

The above are not mod requests as I know I’m working off a WP install that would not be “supported.” Just an FYI of what I came up with.

I’m going to test your 2.0 plugs for email and db back-up. If they work, this way I don’t need to reapply when upgrading WP in a few months. I’ll let you know how it goes.

everytime i cast my votes this errors show up…. any idea ?

wp 2.0 email did not work on 1.5.2. I’m not sure why, and after going htrough the code in class-smtp.php, there is no reason for it to error out where it is. Well, I’m not going to implement a tweaked version outside of my test sandbox.

Decided not to attempt the DB back-up. I’ll just back-up manually through php-admin for a while longer.

Thanks for the great plug-ins. I’ll be waiting a few months prior to upgrading to WP 2.0 so I’ll wait for new plug-ins too.

Great work!!!

Thanks for the support guys!

Rohan, Double Dubs: I have updated my post to display the download URLs for WP 1.5.2 version of my plugins. Sorry for the trouble.

scart: Sorry my bad, it is a bug, open up polls.php, find
add_action(’wp_head’, ‘vote_poll’);
change to
add_action(’init’, ‘vote_poll’);

I just installed your poll script for WP 2.0, its fantastic. My only complaint is that its not XHTML compliant out of the box.

WP-Polls for WP 1.5.2 is 404, already tried installing the 2.0 version with no luck, TIA

Hi,

the actual wp-polls link: http://www.lesterchan.net/others/downloads/wp-polls200a.zip is broken. Use http://www.lesterchan.net/others/downloads/wp-polls202a.zip instead.

great work!

regards,
marcus.

Quantum: XHTML? As in which part of the polls code is invalid? I am not so good in XHTML validation stuff =) Maybe you can help me with it.

John: Try downloading again, I fixed the 404. Thanks for the feedback.

Marcus Kimpenhaus: Glad you found it. LOL, I overlook it on my part.

Your 1.5.2 e-mail works like a charm in my first test. The WP 2.0 version probably also worked in my 1.5.2 version, but I was an idiot and didn’t see the email options tab.

I’m using “send mail” instead of SMTP and I’m not sure what the differences will be. Still waiting for 4 test e-mails (I have lots of e-mail accounts from different providers) to push through 30 minutes later. The first one came in at 5 minutes. Not sure what’s up with the rest, but the plug-in is working. If you have any thoughts, let me know. (yeah - checked the spam folder already)

Thanks again!!!

Thanks for the compliment. The version of 2.0 not really comaptible for 1.5.2

Hi GaMerZ.
Just a quick note to let you know that I’ve installed two of your plug-ins on my sports blog and they are fantastic! The poll one is beyond what I was expecting and the friendliness with which you deal with people is a pleasure to see.

I had a couple of problems with the plug-ins but found the answers via a search through your forums. Vastly helpful.

Thanks for the compliements Aff =) Feel free to drop me an email if u encounter anything =D

I’m attempting to use your UserOnline plugin for WP 1.5. I am using a third party host server and I am having trouble running the install.php. Is there a way I can manually configure my database to take advantage of this plugin?

THANKS!!

hello again i just want to ask what php editor you are using or do you any suggestions? thank you.

I like the who’s online plugin. I see your plugin also shows where the users are… GREAT.

Is it also possible to show the names browsing a page where you are on?

Like:
Users browsing this page: name name name etc

Sec: It would be great if you used AJAX, so the names en number of quests etc is shown on the fly, lik eis done with:

Hi GaMerZ. I just installed usersonline for 1.5 (I haven’t yet upgraded either). Thanks for the great plugin. My install is not in my root folder so the link from the xx users online” does not work. It goes to http://cadc.auburn.edu/soa/wp-useronline.php but I need it go to http://cadc.auburn.edu/soa/some_folder/wp-useronline.php. I have the URI’s correct in the general options page. I have looked through the code but cannot figure out what to change to get it to point to the right place. Can you help?

oh duh - never mind. I am a real idiot…

scart: Sorry, I will fix the bug. In the mean time, just put $make_page = addslashes($make_page);
before
// Update User First.
I am using EditPlus 2 and I love it.

Rusty: u solved it?

Null: Erm, I am not really good with ajax. Trying to learn. But it is a good point there.

OK, forgive me is this is a dumb question, but how do I apply my Wordpress stylesheet to the e-mail form? I have been trying to make it fit within the content column on my 3-column blog and can’t get it working.

Any pointers?

open up wp-email.php and you can see it. use get_header, get_sidebar and get_footer on ideas where to place stuff.

Thanks. That worked great.

I have the e-mail, print and stats plugins all working on my site. Great!

I’ll come back and make a donation to you when I can.

thanks so much! The money will be used to pay the site domain fees =D

I notice you are a Corporal in the Singapore military! I am a Sargeant in the US military. It’s nice to make your aquaintance. Can you point me to the Paypal link on your site if you have one?

THANKS SGT!

i love your works. keep it up!!!

eh, how about a shoutbox?

Thanks alot for your compliment! I was thinking of it too, but there is already one out there using AJAX.

Hi Gamerz, I used to use the wpusersonline plugin on old WP and then for some reason it stopped working.

Now I’ve upgraded to WP2 and installed the plugin and I keep getting this message:

WordPress database error: [Duplicate entry '1137769934' for key 1]
INSERT INTO wp_useronline VALUES (’1137769934′, ‘admin’, ‘70.24.198.71′, ‘Idiot on a Stick’, ‘%2Ftalk%2Findex.php’)

So I went into phpmyadmin and deleted the wp-useronline table and did a reinstall on the plugin but it hasn’t helped. I still get the error message above.

Can you tell me how to fix this? I really know nothing about php or mysql.

Thanks for your help.

Hi GaMeZ,

Trying out your WP-Emailer for 1.5.2. I’m getting this error when I click to send the email.

Warning: fsockopen(): php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known in /home/glblctzn/unsg-www/wordpress/wp-includes/class-smtp.php on line 105

Warning: fsockopen(): unable to connect to :25 in /home/glblctzn/unsg-www/wordpress/wp-includes/class-smtp.php on line 105

(On my site, I’ve changed “Email this Article” to “Forward” and placed it after each article.)

Hope you can help me with this.

Cheers,
Tony

Ok, Gamerz, never mind my question, I found the answer in the forum where you posted some code to change to another person with the same problem.

Thanks for your help.

Tony: EMailed you

jafer: does the fix work?

I got the following error message when I tried to vote in the poll in my blog.. can you help me? I am new to wordpress… I am using Fauna as my theme.

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/vrienden/public_html/vagabond/wp-content/themes/fauna/header.php:5) in /home/vrienden/public_html/vagabond/wp-content/plugins/polls.php on line 257

Vagabond: EMailed you.

thanks! :D

I’m using a lightly modded Kubrick and am getting error messages similar to Vagabond:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/kbarrow/public_html/wp-content/themes/KubMod/header.php:5) in /home/kbarrow/public_html/wp-content/plugins/polls.php on line 257

Could you email me too, please?

And just for reference, I just tried making the
add_action(’init’, ‘vote_poll’);
change, and while I’m no longer getting the error message, the poll isn’t working.

Try Updating your poll options again, change something, save, then change back and save again.

Done… but it’s still not working.

Specific steps taken:
- went to Polls/Poll Option
- changed Sorting of Poll Results
- saved, got confirmation message
- changed Sorting of Poll Results back
- saved, got confirmation message
- refreshed web index in second window
- voted
= no change

I then tried creating a new poll, but got the same results.

And I know we’re still working on this, but I do want to thank you for not just writing these cool plugins but also for being willing to support users like me with questions and problems.

It is much appreciated.

hmmm. u change the polls.php? Are there any polls in there?

I’ve installed your wp-print plugin, and when I click on the “print this page”link, I get a post not found. I’ve tried several times to reset the permalinks, any other suggestions?

hey i got the same errors as described above, the poll isn’t working..
just give me this error:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at… etc. on line on line 257.

help appreciated.

GaMerZ, love your plugins very much, especially the polls plugin, which I use heavily (see site). Upgrading to 2.03 w’nt work with my WP 1.52, so I stay with polls 1.5 til upgrading to WP 2.0 sometime in the future. My question: I got this “Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by…” error message, but the vote is counted regularly. Unfortunately, the cookie isn’t placed, so everybody can vote again and again.
Regards, Oliver

Michael B, andy, obsto: emailed you guys

> hmmm. u change the polls.php? Are there any polls in there?

I changed polls.php according to comment #8 above.

And yes, there are polls in there.

Hi Lester,

I’m using useronline, on both WP 1.5 and 2.0, and wondered whether it would be much trouble to add to it a log function where it keeps a list of the IPs, dates, etc. of visitors that could be displayed or at least accessed.

Thanks for the great plugins.

Larry Bullis

Kevin: can i have ur site URL please?

Larrry: It would be quite alot of load for the php. Normally for me I would check the cpanel stats system. It provides much more better detail.

http://www.soulcookie.com/

Can you download http://dev.wp-plugins.org/file/wp-polls/trunk/polls-debug.php

rename to polls.php and upload to your plugins folder, rename your previous poll.php to something else so that it will not overwrite. Then let me know agian, i need to see the debug statement.

Done.

Kevin: EMailed you instead.

Hello, I’ve installed your WP-Print and WP-Email,
and find that it could display the password-propected posts in the E-mail and print-friendly page without entering the password.
It’s a serious problem for me, could you please fix this bug in the next version?
THANKS A LOT!

Last comment, not my information.. Not sure how it got put in there.

Warning: fsockopen(): php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: No address associated with hostname in /home/xxx/xxx/domain/wp-includes/class-smtp.php on line 105

Warning: fsockopen(): unable to connect to :25 in /home/xxx/xxx/domain/wp-includes/class-smtp.php on line 105

I tried setting a few things in class-phpmail.php figuring it needed my smpt server settings, didn’t change anything.

Help

CH Weng: Okie, thanks for the feedback, it will be fixed.

Chris: Go to WP Admin -> Email -> Options -> Mailer Type. Change it to php or sendmail.

Cheers
