Wrote a plugin; Now page comes up blank

What version and build are you using? Does you site work as expected without the plugin?

1.6.8

Yes

OK, let me move this to “Development and Programming”. Thanks.

Ok, But template debugging isn’t showing anything. Shouldn’t it be showing me errors at least?

edit: Also, i removed the entire class from the file and the output ‘no direct script access’ came up.

If you’re not getting any output at all, then it’s likely a fundamental coding error invthe plugin. If you want to use something like pastie.org to copy paste the code, I’ll take a look.

Writing a plugin is probably one of the easiest things to do in terms of add-on development for EE - however there is a strict coding procedure that you need to follow and you’d be surprised at how many hours I’ve wasted over non functioning code to find it something simple like a missing semicolon or similar!

Thanks for the offer, Carl, but i just found the error. A period.

I don’t understand why ee can’t display these syntax errors, though. It’s a serious efficiency hit to code without errors being displayed.

The thing is - that type of error is a php failing not EE. Since the app is built on PHP, if a catastrophic error occurs there’s no way for it to tell you since the whole stack fails to process.

The answer in this case would have been to review your php.log file which will identify the fault for you.
