500 Internal Server Error - with WordPress 3.0/3.1 & Widget WordPress

  • SOLVED

I use the following code in my plugin [[LINK href="http://mapsmarker.com"]]mapsmarker.com[[/LINK]]:


[...]
class Leafletmapsmarker
{
function leafletmapsmarker() {
[...]
<strong>add_action('widgets_init', create_function('', 'return register_widget("lmm_recent_marker_widget");'));</strong>
}
[...]
} //info: end class Leafletmapsmarker
$run_leafletmapsmarker = new Leafletmapsmarker();

class lmm_recent_marker_widget extends WP_Widget {
public function __construct() {
$widget_options = array(
'classname' => 'lmm_recent_marker_widget',
'description' => __('Widget to show the most recent Leaflet Maps Marker entries', 'lmm'));
$control_options = array();
$this->WP_Widget('lmm_recent_marker_widget', __('Leaflet Maps Marker - recent markers', 'lmm'), $widget_options, $control_options);
}
[...]
}//info: END class lmm_recent_marker_widget extends WP_Widget
unset($run_leafletmapsmarker);


Problem is, that if I run this code on WordPress 3.0/3.1 (didnt check 3.2/3.3) I get an 500 Internal Server Error - but on 3.4 it works.

If I disable the line in bold (add_action(...)), the plugin works (but without the widget).

As I am not that good in object orientated coding, I wonder if it has to do something with class referencing which might not me right with my code...

I found [[LINK href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5247302/php-namespace-5-3-and-wordpress-widget/5247436#5247436"]]this thread[[/LINK]] which could have to do with my problem but I dont really know if that´s right.
Any help is appreciated!

Well in continue of Daniel's answer, try:

function register_my_widget() {
register_widget("lmm_recent_marker_widget");
}

add_action('widgets_init', 'register_my_widget');

better, but not quite there :-/ I added the following:


[...]
class Leafletmapsmarker
{
function leafletmapsmarker() {
[...]
add_action('widgets_init', array(&$this,'lmm_register_my_widget'));
}
function lmm_register_my_widget() {
register_widget("lmm_recent_marker_widget");
}
[...]
} //info: end class Leafletmapsmarker
$run_leafletmapsmarker = new Leafletmapsmarker();

class lmm_recent_marker_widget extends WP_Widget {
public function __construct() {
$widget_options = array(
'classname' => 'lmm_recent_marker_widget',
'description' => __('Widget to show the most recent Leaflet Maps Marker entries', 'lmm'));
$control_options = array();
$this->WP_Widget('lmm_recent_marker_widget', __('Leaflet Maps Marker - recent markers', 'lmm'), $widget_options, $control_options);
}
[...]
}//info: END class lmm_recent_marker_widget extends WP_Widget
unset($run_leafletmapsmarker);


now I get the error

Warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback, 'Leafletmapsmarker::register_my_widget' was given in /xxx/html/mapsmarker/wp-30/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 395


I still dont understand how to reference the second class <strong>lmm_recent_marker_widget</strong> which is outside the class <strong>Leafletmapsmarker</strong> :-/


AdamGold comments:

Something is wrong here, in the code you call "lmm_register_my_widget" in the add_action hook, but in the error it says you called register_my_widget. Can you re-check your code please?


AdamGold comments:

There are some things wrong with your code:

Replace:
$this->WP_Widget('lmm_recent_marker_widget'

with:
parent::__construct( __CLASS__

Replace:
function leafletmapsmarker() {

with:
function __construct

try
add_action('widgets_init', create_function('', 'return register_widget("lmm_recent_marker_widget");'));

to

add_action('widgets_init', create_function('', 'return register_widget("lmm_recent_marker_widget")'));

works partly, but I still get the following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in /xxx/html/mapsmarker/wp-30/wp-content/plugins/2.4/leaflet-maps-marker.php(69) : runtime-created function on line 1

Robert Seyfriedsberger comments:

No, does not work - I restarted and now get the following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in /xxx/html/mapsmarker/wp-30/wp-content/plugins/2.4/leaflet-maps-marker.php(69) : runtime-created function on line 1

any other tipps?


Daniel Yoen comments:

It seems your plug-in is trying to hook a function onto the admin_init, but the the function name they've given is not valid. Usually because the function doesn't exist.

Luis Abarca answers:

Yep,


add_action( 'widgets_init', create_function( '', 'return register_widget("lmm_recent_marker_widget");' ) );


without the return


add_action( 'widgets_init', create_function( '', 'register_widget("lmm_recent_marker_widget");' ) );


or


add_action( 'widgets_init', function(){
return register_widget( 'lmm_recent_marker_widget' );
});


What PHP version are you running ?


Robert Seyfriedsberger comments:

doesnt work without the return.
if I add your second solution, Dreamweaver says "Syntax Error" as it cant be added here :-/

it has to work on PHP >5.2 as it is used by more than 12500 users...
