[Plugin: Slideshow] Warnings and can't create a slideshow (v1.3.0)

    I’ve successfully used v1.3.0 on a test machine, but when I try to implement it on my client’s host, I get the following warnings in the Slideshow Style panel:

    Warning: file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /homepages/20/d420449283/htdocs/sarah/wp-content/plugins/slideshow-jquery-image-gallery/classes/SlideshowPostType.php on line 182

    Warning: file_get_contents(http://www.urbanwords.org.uk/sarah/wp-content/plugins/slideshow-jquery-image-gallery/style/Slideshow/style-dark.css) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in /homepages/20/d420449283/htdocs/sarah/wp-content/plugins/slideshow-jquery-image-gallery/classes/SlideshowPostType.php on line 182

    I also can’t attach images to a slideshow. The radio button for a slideshow does not appear. I guess the warnings may have something to do with this.

    Cheers

    Hi PAE,

    Your client’s host has disabled the ‘file_get_contents’ function, which is used by plugin to load the presets for the custom style sheets.

    I have added a check for the presence of this function and released it in a quick-fix version 1.3.1.

    By the way, since version 1.3.0 the slides list provides a media button to simplify adding images to your slideshow. It’s a lot faster than having to add images by attaching them from the media page.

    I hope this solves your problem.

    Once again, Stefan, I’m well in your debt.

    Thank you.

    Sorry, Stefan. 1.3.1 gives the same error — both when I updated and when I completely removed and reinstalled.

    Hi PAE,

    I was able to reproduce your problem by adjusting my server settings and have solved the issue with version 1.3.2.

    Thanks very much Stefan.

    I’m really sorry to have been a nuisance over this. I look forward to the update to 1.3.2. I have raised a support call with my client’s host, but haven’t had a response yet.

    Hope I haven’t been too much of a pain in the neck to you.

    Cheers

    Not at all, I think this was a very important issue to be aware of and fix. I want this plugin to work for anyone who can run a WordPress website.

    Just to confirm that 1.3.2 works beautifully. I still get the thick black line down the right hand side, but it disappears if I use the ‘Transparent’ background.

    Many thanks.
