Problem moving from old system
-
I’ve upgraded the plugin which has worked fine for a couple of years.
Copied my code into a snippet and get this error message;
Don’t Panic
The code snippet you are trying to save produced a fatal error on line 4:
syntax error, unexpected ‘http’ (T_STRING), expecting ‘,’ or ‘;’
I think it’s probably a quote mark issue – does the upgrade handle them differently?
Here’s the code which shows either a logged in user name or a link to the login box;
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
global $current_user;
get_currentuserinfo();
echo “Click here to Upload Your Pictures. Logged in as “.$current_user->display_name.”“; } else {
echo “Click here to Login before uploading your pictures“;
}
Same code works fine with [insert_php] tags.
Trying hard not to panic…..
Many Thanks

Hi Alex
Thanks for the very rapid response!
I’ve just realised my code doesn’t show correctly in the forum because the browser converts the echoed http links to how they should finally appear for the end user!
I was using nested double quotes with [insert_php] but the new snippet system seems to handle the code much better. I removed the quotes inside the “” but replacing that with the actual symbol “>” has everything running smoothly again.
This does seem a much better way of working especially now I can deactivate a snippet and the linking code is turned off for end users. Every plugin I’ve used leaves the insert code displaying on the page if I deactivate the plugin – this is a good step forwards during debugging!
Only problem I really had was after the “Don’t panic” error message clicking the back button returns me to a blank edit box. I think I can understand why you do this but it forced me back to Notepad and lots of cut and paste. Can’t you leave the code in the box or is this a WP function with the back button?
Anyway thanks for a great plug-in! ROD
(Just had a pop a few quote marks in to stop the browser converting everything again! Hope it looks right this time.)Just discover the pre tag….
[insert_php] if ( is_user_logged_in() ) { global $current_user; get_currentuserinfo(); echo "Click here to Upload Your Pictures. Logged in as ".$current_user->display_name.""; } else { echo "Click here to Login before uploading your pictures"; } [/insert_php]Hi,
The danger warning does not allow you to save your fragment in order for your site to continue working, otherwise you can not edit it if the snippet is executed. This is not the best solution, I’ll figure out how to make it more convenient for you.
Your code works for me. Do you want to insert links into the code?
