From Version 5.0.0 to 5.1.3 following are the changes I did:

  • New version checking feature added
  • Added three new bookmark taggly, sphere and fleck.
  • XHTML 1.0 compatibility error corrected.
  • New capability to add bookmark through template added.

I’ve found an issue… which matters based on the server configuration that the plugin is installed on.

The plugin tries to look for a new version of obsocialbookmark. When it does this it calls the php fopen() function. This is cool, however, on some server configurations (such as mine), you can not call a URL using that function through PHP.

My Workaround:
I removed the 20 or so lines of code that were concerned with trying to see if a new version existed

My Suggestion:
Test to see if the fopen() can make a call to a non-local URL. If it can’t, then do not execute code trying to.

Works great. Only thing to note is that you have it specified as 5.1.5, but released as 5.1.3… made me a little confused when making sure I was downloading the right file.

Thats a small change though :-P . The fix works great, well done Raj!
