Running under Phalanger breaks Admin Settings

Sorry, this is a customer’s site which is not public. The error returned by phalanger is when it tries to execute

Class_leaflet_options::display_mapdefaults_section()

(or any function with a similar name, corresponding to your admin sections), since these do not exist. Because phalanger compiles php, it seems to have stricter rules. I modified your code to this, which seems to fix the problem without side-effects, but I’m not sure if this is the correct syntax or name to check for (perhaps it should be qualified somehow by the class name?):

...
if (function_exists('display_'.$pane_slug.'_section')) {
      @call_user_function(array(&this, 'display_'.$pane_slug.'_section'), array();
}
...

Although, I’m a developer (.Net & stuff), I’m not familiar at all with PHP or WordPress, sorry if I can’t help more.

I saw no other problems with this excellent plugin under phalanger.

Keep up the good work!

If you just want to verify that your plugin works, try downloading the zip from http://wpdotnet.com/.

Use a Windows machine (duh…) with MySql installed (re-duh). Create an empty schema for WordPress to use and a MySQL user with all privileges for this schema.

Then, unzip wpdotnet to a folder, point a new IIS web site to this folder (don’t forget to set the host name and also declare it in your hosts file) and start browsing to this site. The usual wizard will guide you through to the WP installation. Upgrade to the last WP version and install your plugin the normal way.

What this setup does, is basically a portable installation of wordpress/phalanger (there will also be a BIN folder under the root and a web.config file to use by .Net). Do not install other plugins at this point as they might depend on php extensions that are not installed by this setup (in particular, image upload might not work without mods).

You can debug (kinda…) with Visual Studio and its PHP Tools extension (set debug to true in web.config – 2 places).

For more complex setups, there are various settings that depend on the php extensions you need, the net frameworks used, your IIS defaults and a lot of other factors, but for a bare-bones installation this should do. There is information on the net, but feel free to ask me if you run into trouble 🙂
