Works great, thank you
What’s wrong with it when I got “No $xml_file available”? The permission of the wcg_data.xml is 666
Hi Phong!
First: Just try to reload the page – it seems that the plugin caches old values for $xml_file.
If the reload doesn’t work – read on: There are different reasons for the “No $xml_file available” error:
wcg_data.xml permission is not 666
The WCG Member Name is wrong. You can check it by using this URL & substitute WCGMemberName for your name
WCG’s xml file is not available because WCG update their statistics
your php.ini configuration (allow_url_fopen) don’t allow to access WCG’s xml file
I’ll try to output better error messages in version 1.1.
Now I got ‘Error: WCG error: Missing Argument’ with v1.1
At first it didn’t have the write permission on wcg_data.xml (what should the permission on this file?)
This widget is based on this file: http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/verifyMember.do?name=YourWCGMemberName&code=YourWCGVerificationCode. If you get ‘WCG error: Missing Argument’, it means that something is wrong with YourWCGMemberName or YourWCGVerificationCode. Please tell me, what YourWCGMemberName and YourWCGVerificationCode is.
The permission of the wcg_data.xml should be 666.
Thanks it’s working now. My username has a space and I added a + sign
This bug is fixed in version 1.2. Thx Phong for your feedback.

Glad to do so, it’s a great widget.
I’m not that good in German, so i’m posting in English…
I just downloaded your plugin for WCG and installed it. Unfortunaly i got the following error: Warning: wcg_widget::view() [function.wcg-widget-view]: Node no longer exists in /var/www/vhosts/winandrenkema.nl/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/world-community-grid-widget/wcg_widget.php on line 421
I just updated my wordpress to version 2.8, so mayby this is een version problem. I don’t know if it is, but i just want to notify you … so you can fix it in time.
Hi Winand!
Thanks for your feedback. I also updated to Wordpress 2.8 and I have no problems with my wcg widget.
The missing view() function is in the widget code, but it’s a little bit curious that this function view() is neither called nor defined on line 421.
Please do me a favour and delete, download the widget again and reinstall it. Please inform me of the result.
Thanks
crille
Morning Crille,
I still get the error after reinstalling.
I also forgot to mention that putting the widget on the sidebar will give a really odd error. I made a screenshot of it, and placed it here: http://nl.tinypic.com/r/96b53d/5 This behavior showed up when i was dragging the “World Community Grid” widget to the right.
I use Wordpress 2.8 with a dutch language-pack installed on it.
Until now other widgets work fine with me, so i suppose its a related to this one.
Thanks for the quick reply.
Hi Winand!
I have the same behaviour when putting the widget on sidebar. I’ll check it after the NovaRock Festival. Thanks for your reply.
crille
PS: On which page do you get the view()-error? In the sidebar or on administration page?
Good evening,
I get the error on the sidebar on the frontside. On the administration page it’s only the odd behavior.
Have fun at the festival. Look like a lot of fun. :D
Winand.
Good evening (agian),
I have been fiddling around it figured out what the problem is. For some reason i don’t have the so called badges in the XML file requested via http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/verifyMember.do? … really strange but i probably didn’t earn them yet.
I fixed the error by inserting the next line at 423: if (isset($xml->MemberStats->MemberStat->Badges))
{
and ofcours } at 475.
For now this will do for me. I hope you can use this info.
Winand
Thanks for your solution, Winand. I updated the wcg widget to version 2.1. Now, the plugin uses the new Wordpress Widget API and I hope everything works, because I had to edit a lot of code.
