3 Comments »Manga+Press 2.0 beta is getting set to roll out sometime this week. A number of changes have been made to Manga+Press, namely the way Manga+Press uploads the comic pages. However, before users can upgrade, one of the files in the current release branch needs to be patched first.
The reason is the hook that is called when Manga+Press is deactivated. The hook deletes all of the options and the two tables Manga+Press uses to keep track of comic posts. Since the proper way of upgrading a plugin usually involves deactivation and deletion of the files, this could be a problem for some users. However, I went ahead and tested the deactivation procedure on the server and…nothing happened. So either there is a bug in 2.7 (fortunate in this case) or the hook in question is no longer being used. Either way, I suggest either downloading the patch I’ve provided or backing up your database; the latter always being a wise choice whenever you’re upgrading a plugin, of course.
Download Patch: mangapress patch
This application sounds promising. I’m excited to try it. Good job on creating it. it looks like pure genius. It certainly should solve a lot of issues.
Getting the following error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’ in /home/corbinis/public_html/wp-content/plugins/mangapress/includes/mangapress-classes.php on line 41
Am I doing something wrong? I think I’m following all the instructions.
Thanks for letting me know that there might be a potential problem. Sorry if I seem redundant but I have to ask these questions: are you upgrading from an old version of Manga+Press or is it a clean install? Did you delete the old files first before upgrading? Where is the error occurring? Does it occur when you upload a comic? When you activate the plugin? When you change options? Are you using the theme that comes with the plugin? What other plugins do you have running next to Manga+Press? Also, do you know what your server is running, specifically which versions of Apache, PHP and MySQL? Finally, and this is only if you don’t mind sharing this information but who are you hosted by? That last isn’t really required but sometimes, knowing who the host is might give me a better idea of what’s going on.
Once again, sorry if I seem redundant but the more detail I have to work with, the better I can figure this out. I’ve tried doing a fresh install of Manga+Press 2.0 and I don’t seem to be getting the error. Of course, configs can vary between hosts and sometimes, it could be something fairly minor that’s triggering the error….you know, sudden brain-fart here. Try opening the
mangapress-classes.phpfile and removing theprivatestatement at line 41. That’s the only thing I think could be causing the problem. It’s worth a shot!
