Hi, I have had a look elsewhere and can’t find anything similar to what I’m experiencing. I am trying to use Flowplayer to play FLV files that are uploaded as part of an entry. The trouble is, when I use {url} within the page template I get a warning.

Here is my code:

{scene_trailer}
<a href="http://{url}" class="player"></a>
{/scene_trailer}

And then the Flowplayer JavaScript is below this code.

When I go to the page, I get the following error:

A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Warning

Message: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array

Filename: libraries/Functions.php

Line Number: 2585

Can you help me with this? I don’t see why it wouldn’t work.

Hi anthonyweston,

You are probably running into issues as {url} is a member field and already exists as a variable in ExpressionEngine. If you change the name of your custom field to {video_url} does it then work?

I don’t think I understand. My custom field is called scene_trailer and it’s a file field. I am trying to get it’s {url} in my above code. Have I got this wrong? It has worked for other files.

Hi Anthony,

Now I understand. I just tested this code on my sandbox install and it worked as expected. could you try this on a blank template to see if you get the url working correctly without flowplay on the page.

Use this code and replace your_channel with the name of your channel.

{exp:channel:entries channel="your_channel" }
{scene_trailer}
<a href="http://{url}" class="player">{url}</a>

{/scene_trailer}  
{/exp:channel:entries}

Thanks for your reply.

No, it still doesn’t work. I get the following error 4 times:

A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: Warning

Hi anthonyweston,

I have some bad news and some good news. Bad news is, this is a bug :-( Good news is we have a solution 😊 !

If you apply the solution outlined in the bug report, does this behave properly for you?

Cheers,
