Quick bug alert all our plugins…Fixed soon
by MattDustin Sparks has brought a bug to my attention in the featured listings plugin for wordpress. This plugin requires a function called simple_xml() which allows a very easy way to share data, but it only works in PHP 5.
PHP 5 is still in infancy, and only installed 14% of all servers running PHP.

I do have a fix, and I will have this patched soon.
So if you run into a simple_xml function error with the featured listings plugin, agent details plugin, buyer and seller reports plugin…don't fret, it will soon be fixed and uploaded to realiventblog.
Thanks
Dustin

I’m running PHP 5 - getting some “URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration” errors for the Featured Listing plugin.
I’m using Dreamhost and from what I can tell, it looks like they tighten security and don’t allow this. Dreamhost is a popular host so I’m guessing I’m not the only one who will have problems.

I was very anxious to get this plugin working for some single property websites, so I’ll be checking back for a possible fix!

I’m familiar with dreamhost, they are popular…Are you able to run any rss widgets that read feeds from remote sites?
When we upload the new featured listing plugin, I’ll let you know, so you can test it…
actually would you be willing to upload a test plugin that has our new xml reader on it, just to test?
Thanks

I’ll be more than happy to test the XML version. Feel free to email that to me - I’ll test it right away.
