Help with rcb_excel
I’ve installed the above plugin. If I could get it to work properly, it would really save a lot of time on a site I’m working on. It does output the spreadsheet in html table form when placed in an article. Unfortunately, I also get this message on any page where I attempt to use it:
<pre>A problem occured while loading the plugin: <b>rcb_excel</b> -> <b>: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated on line 919</b></pre>
If anyone has any ideas about how to solve this issue, I’d appreciate it. The plugin’s author didn’t give contact information.
Thanks—

Re: Help with rcb_excel
Are you in testing or debugging mode? Does the message go away in Live mode?
If you still want to try fixing it, here’s an untested suggestion:
Click the “Edit” link for this plugin from the Plugins list
Find this line:
$this->_ole =& new OLERead();Remove the ampersand and save the change
see if that works.

Thanks for the quick response! I tried that & it didn’t work. But I think I have a better idea about how to manage the issue for the site I am developing.

Re: Help with rcb_excel
I just installed the plugin to test this. I got the same error message, and the change I suggested fixed it. Just to be clear, the line
$this->_ole =& new OLERead();needs to be changed to
$this->_ole = new OLERead();and then click the “Save” button. If the error message still shows on the public side I should think you are seeing a cached page.
