Serendipity Forums

hello!

I play around in my test-blog http://mein-test.supersized.org/ and the amazon-plugin makes much trouble!

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /usr/local/lib/php/s9y-additional_plugins/serendipity_plugin_amazon/serendipity_plugin_amazon.php on line 100

getting

Notice: in /usr/local/lib/php/s9y-supersized/bundled-libs/PEAR.php on line 848

And the same error in the plugin-page, so I cannot delete the plugin!

hmmm weird - the plugin is at the newest revision.

Hi!

sounds like network connection problems to me -- the amazon server seems to return no resultset. At least the PEAR error suggests connection issues.

I dont think it is a network-problem:

1) the error

invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /usr/local/lib/php/s9y-additional_plugins/serendipity_plugin_amazon/serendipity_plugin_amazon.php on line 100

dont sounds like this and

2) the error occurs in the admin-panel, too!?

And I cannot delete these plugin because the the "Configure Plugins"-page end interrupted with this error.

@Jannis: Please, could you delete the plugin in mein-test?

OK, I looked in the plugin. That line says: I checked $articleinfo. I'm not quite certain how it's getting set, although at one point it does get set through amazon_fetch(). In any case, it winds up as part of the plugin's configuration. It should be saved across invocations.

It can be emptied, causing this error, if $info_asin doesn't match $config_asin. But $info_asin gets saved to $config_asin whenever you make changes, so the error shouldn't crop up more than once.

In short, it looks like there's a problem with amazon_fetch(), causing an empty $articleinfo array, causing the error "Invalid argument supplied for foreach()". That could very well be a network error, just like Garvin said.

You could try to change the ASIN you have configured in the plugin configuration. Even changing it to an arbitrary value, saving, and returning it to the original value should work.

Thanks for your answer.

But I cannot change anything because the on the Configure Plugins page the page interrupts! After some plugins it comes

"Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /usr/local/lib/php/s9y-additional_plugins/serendipity_plugin_amazon/serendipity_plugin_amazon.php on line 100
getting

Notice: in /usr/local/lib/php/s9y-supersized/bundled-libs/PEAR.php on line 848"

and then the page is at its end! There is noch "delete", there is no possibility to change the amazon-plugin!

Well....i get same error like stm9999 told.
This happen to me when i try to install any plugin or some themes.
Anyone knows what is the problem. I have Serendipity 1.0-beta3.

People, when i finally update to V1.0 (final release) i can fix the problem i tell you previously.

PD: My ENG is some bad. Sory

I'm getting this same error any time anyone tries to leave a comment or when I try to ping sites like technorati.

Evidently this is a bug that keeps coming up, as I see others on this forum mentioning the line 848 thing repeatedly. Hope it gets fixed very soon.

Hi!

Sadly line 848 is a generic error handler from the PEAR library. Any error that happens in one of the other PEAR files and is not specifically caught will end up at that line 848. It most surely is a problem with your file permissions or with a firewall, not with the file(s) themselves.

Best regards,
Garvin

Fugging hell this has mucked up my whole site, I can't get rid of it

I've just spent a lot of time setting up this site and the last thing I added was this now I'm stuck. Can anyone tell me how I can uninstall this without having the option in the admin section to it ?

TIA

That's bad. Sorry it happened to you.

This post explains that you'll have to access your database and remove the plugin from the serendipity_plugins table. Your hosting company should provide some tool for you to edit the database directly, like phpMyAdmin or similar.

If I'm reading the code correctly, this can only happen if you haven't specified any ASINs to recommend in the plugin configuration.

You should still be able to access your Admin page as serendipity_admin.php. If you can then use "Configure Plugins" to reconfigure the Amazon plugin, you should get it to work.

That's also the recommended way to remove the plugin, if you still want to.

That is from the admin section -->plugins

Can't beleive this would be up available to install with no error checking or escape clauses.

I suspect the only way out oft his is enter thought the database and change the setting there.

Does this happen a lot with Serendipty, I mean I no you get what you pay for but this is an app killer if people are coding like this.

EDIT ---

If anyone else runs into this, my solution was to go into the database and first copy `****_plugins` then delete the two fields in that table that mentions Amazon.

I could not replicate the plugin rendering the plugin configuration un-usable, but I was able to replicate the error on the main page.

I submitted a fix to CVS, with a version bump to 1.7.
