I have a problem: I’m trying to pull some pods data into a sidebar widget. I have set up a plugin which creates and registers the widget in WordPress, but when I add the following code to initiate my pods data, I get the following error message:

Fatal error: Call to a member function findRecords() on a non-object in C:webserverpublic_htmlaelwp-contentpluginssidebar-plugin.php on line 39

Here is an excerpt of the code I’m using to get the data:

PHP

$events = new Pod('events'); $orderby = 'date ASC'; $portfolio->findRecords($orderby); //order by here $total_rows = $portfolio->getTotalRows(); if( $total_rows>0 ) : while ( $events->fetchRecord() ) : //set variables $name = $events->get_field('name'); $date = $events->get_field('date'); $location = $events->get_field('location'); ?> ... data goes here ... <?php endwhile; endif; ?>

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

$events = new Pod('events');   $orderby    = 'date ASC'; $portfolio->findRecords($orderby); //order by here $total_rows = $portfolio->getTotalRows(); if( $total_rows>0 ) :     while ( $events->fetchRecord() ) :         //set variables         $name = $events->get_field('name');         $date = $events->get_field('date');         $location = $events->get_field('location');         ?>             ... data goes here ...         <?php endwhile;     endif; ?>

It seems that the Pod() method is not registering when I call it from within my plugin – can anyone offer any help on this?

Thanks in advance!

As i understand, $orderby returns date ASC without apostrophes, so you should try putting them inside findRecords().

The second thing – you are calling events pod as $events, and then you try to apply findRecords on $portfolio.

Don’t you hate it when people ask stupid questions without fully checking their code? My only excuse is that I was tired.

Anyway, it works now so thank you! Also, for reference the $orderby clause works without the apostrophes in findrecords().

Thanks again for your help.
