Problems with Currently Plugin... [Solved]

Post by Linus »

Hi Folks,
it´s my first post on this forum and thats why I would like to thank all developers for this great software first - really awesome...

Well as in subject above I´ve got problems using the Currently Plugin.
Installation was no Problem, but everytime I put values in I get this error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: curl_init() in /var/www/serendipity/plugins/serendipity_plugin_currently/curl.inc on line 68
Looking through the files approved this - there is NO function named curl_init.

Thanks in advance
Andi

The Currently-Plugin makes use of the PHP "Curl" Extension, that is bundled by default with PHP5. For PHP4 versions and earlier, it needs to be specifically enabled.

So sadly you'll need to contact your provider and ask him to enable the CURL module, or you're not able to use that plugin.

CURL is an extension to allow accessing foreign URLs and fetching data.

Regards,
Garvin
