"Fatal error" after install.

[nathanspackman]

I've tried installing this app, however I get a fatal error after every install. Please help!

Nathan,
could you please provide us with further infos:

• which version of Wordpress are you using?
• Which version of PHP?
• What is the fatal error that you receive?
• Can you reproduce the error after setting WP_DEBUG and WP_DEBUG_LOG to true in your wp-config.php and attach the generated debug.log to this issue?

Thanks!

Hi Phillip,

We are using wordpress version 4.4.2 and PHP version 5.3.

The error received is:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in /home/sites/
broradio.fm/public_html/wp/wp-content/plugins/newsml-g2-importer/newsmlg2import.php
on line 1081

I am unable to locate & change wp-config.php to true on my current set-up
as I am unable to locate the file.

Thanks, this gives a hint... We've been testing with PHP 5.4 - What was the action you performed when this error occurred? Did you click "Import Media Topics"? If so, be advised that importing the media topics is not a required step, you can live fine without them...

The error occurs when I try to activate the plugin, I have not yet got as
far as using the app.

In line 1081, we are using a syntax which has been introduced in PHP 5.4: Function array dereferencing.
Can you upgrade to 5.4? If not, you might be lucky in changing:

$_POST['term_meta']['broader'] = sanitize_text_field( $topic->get_broaders()[0] );

to

$tmp =  $topic->get_broaders();
$_POST['term_meta']['broader'] = sanitize_text_field( $tmp[0] );

Please let me know if that works for you.

Hi,

The above seems to have worked!

I'm now trying to set up the plugin, however I am having issues. I have the
feed http://feeds.skynews.com/feeds/newsml/home which I am looking to
import as news posts, however this does not seem to work.

Can you please help?

Thanks

Nathan, the feed you are referring to is a NewsML 1 feed, not NewsML-G2, therefore the plugin cannot process it. You might ask skynews if they provide NewsML-G2 as well, otherwise this plugin can't do anything for you...

[nathanspackman]

Sky news have responded with:

Our files are NewsML v1 however I've been reliably informed that
NewsML V2 should be backward compatible with NewsML V1.

I guess this would not be the case with NewsML-G2 importer?

Sorry, but this is incorrect, NewsML 1 and NewsML-G2 are completely incompatible when it comes to the XML representation. For reference, take a look at one of the example XMLs here:
http://www.iptc.org/std/NewsML-G2/latest/QuickStart-NewsML-G2-Text page 5
compared to here:
http://www.iptc.org/std/NewsML/1.2/documentation/NewsML_1.2-doc-Guidelines_1.01.pdf Example 2.3.3.2
