Fatal Error in Add Event and List Event Pages

[Christopher Roy]

Hey guys,

Just bought the community events plug-in. Thank you for building this. We have wanted a feature like this for years.

Wondering if you provide any consulting services to help implement this into a theme? We are getting an error and need help. If this is an easy would appreciate the support, or if more involved we are happy to pay to help us get this working.

Here are the details:

We are seeing a conflict with the theme that we use to run the site and I can’t figure out why. Here’s what I’ve done:

I’ve gotten The Events Calendar working using a modified ‘Default Events Template’ – this is the only way The Events Calendar will work in our theme, otherwise it throws an error. I’ve followed your instructions to create an /events folder and placed the modified ecp-page-template.php and ecp-single-template.php

You can see this here: http://saltspringexchange.com/events/
Single test event here: http://saltspringexchange.com/event/test/

However, no matter how much monkeying around with PHP (I don’t know much) and playing with the configurations, I can’t get our paid Community Events plug-in to work:

http://saltspringexchange.com/events/community/add/
http://saltspringexchange.com/events/community/list

We are getting an error with our Classipress theme:

Catchable fatal error: Object of class WP_Error could not be converted to string in /home/ssicommunity/saltspringexchange.com/wp-content/themes/classipress/includes/theme-functions.php on line 1517

Is this something obvious or could we pay one of you to help us?

Hi Christopher,

Sorry for the delay in getting to this. It looks like it’s something with your theme since the error is related to one of your theme files. I would suggest contacting the theme developer and getting support from them. Unfortunately we don’t have anyone internally that can help you with this.

Good luck!

Hello Christopher, the problem you’re experiencing is due to breadcrumbs, you need to disable breadcrumbs on your website in order for these features to work, don’t worry they’re useless. Please back up your server before you proceed.

In order to disable breadcrumbs you need to edit your “theme-functions.php” located under:

/home/ssicommunity/saltspringexchange.com/wp-content/themes/classipress/includes/theme-functions.php

then what you need to do is remove this from it:

// Breadcrumb for the top of pages
function cp_breadcrumb() {
global $app_abbr, $post;

$delimiter = ‘»’;
$currentBefore = ”;
$currentAfter = ”;

if ( !is_home() || !is_front_page() || is_paged() ) :
$flag = 1;
echo ”;
echo ‘‘ . __(‘Home’, ‘appthemes’) . ‘ ‘ . $delimiter . ‘ ‘;

// figure out what to display
switch ($flag) :

case is_tax(APP_TAX_TAG):
echo $currentBefore . __(‘Ads tagged with’, ‘appthemes’) .’ '’ . single_tag_title(”, false) . ‘'’ . $currentAfter;
break;

case is_tax():
// get the current ad category
$term = get_term_by( ‘slug’, get_query_var( ‘term’ ), get_query_var( ‘taxonomy’ ) );
// get the current ad category parent id
$parent = $term->parent;
// WP doesn’t have a function to grab the top-level term id so we need to
// climb up the tree and create a list of all the ad cat parents
while ($parent):
$parents[] = $parent;
$new_parent = get_term_by( ‘id’, $parent, get_query_var( ‘taxonomy’ ));
$parent = $new_parent->parent;
endwhile;

// if parents are found display them
if(!empty($parents)):
// flip the array over so we can print out descending
$parents = array_reverse($parents);
// for each parent, create a breadcrumb item
foreach ($parents as $parent):
$item = get_term_by( ‘id’, $parent, get_query_var( ‘taxonomy’ ));
$url = get_term_link( $item->slug, APP_TAX_CAT );
echo ‘‘.$item->name.’ ‘ . $delimiter . ‘ ‘;
endforeach;
endif;
echo $currentBefore . $term->name . $currentAfter;
break;

case is_singular(APP_POST_TYPE):
// get the ad category array
$term = wp_get_object_terms($post->ID, APP_TAX_CAT);
if(!empty($term)):
// get the first ad category parent id
$parent = $term[0]->parent;
// get the first ad category id and put into array
$parents[] = $term[0]->term_id;
// WP doesn’t have a function to grab the top-level term id so we need to
// climb up the tree and create a list of all the ad cat parents
while ($parent):
$parents[] = $parent;
$new_parent = get_term_by( ‘id’, $parent, APP_TAX_CAT );
$parent = $new_parent->parent;

echo ‘‘.$item->name.’ ‘ . $delimiter . ‘ ‘;
endforeach;
endif;
endif;
echo $currentBefore . the_title() . $currentAfter;
break;

case is_single():
$cat = get_the_category();
$cat = $cat[0];
echo get_category_parents($cat, TRUE, ” $delimiter “);
echo $currentBefore . the_title() . $currentAfter;
break;

case is_category():
global $wp_query;
$cat_obj = $wp_query->get_queried_object();
$thisCat = $cat_obj->term_id;
$thisCat = get_category($thisCat);
$parentCat = get_category($thisCat->parent);
if ($thisCat->parent != 0) echo(get_category_parents($parentCat, TRUE, ‘ ‘ . $delimiter . ‘ ‘));

break;

case is_page():

}

echo ”;

endif;

}

Save it and you should be up and running in seconds.
Please note that if misdone the previous steps could break your website proceed with caution. Backup, Backup, backup.
