plugin - how to show error from plugin

[zbaig]

hi all,

i have written a plugin which checks how many youtube videos are added in message/thread/post.

it individualy checks all videos, and finds if they are ios/iphone compatible.

if video is not ios compatible it shows error. all the code is working fine, but i am not able to show errror. the error is not showing and post is submitting.

any idea???


my code is attacked in a separate php file.
===================================



<?php
if(!defined("IN_MYBB"))
{
die("Direct initialization of this file is not allowed.<br /><br />Please make sure IN_MYBB is defined.");
}


// user report hooks
$plugins->add_hook("parse_message_start", "haltmedia_run");
# tried with all following but no luck yet.
//$plugins->add_hook("parse_message_end", "haltmedia_run");
//$plugins->add_hook("parse_message", "haltmedia_run");
//$plugins->add_hook("post_output_page", "haltmedia_run");
//$plugins->add_hook("text_parse_message", "haltmedia_run");

function haltmedia_run(&$message){
echo 'i am here ' . THIS_SCRIPT." File: ".__FILE__ . " Line: " .__LINE__; #i am here newthread.php File: C:\wamp\www\propertytribes\inc\plugins\yts.php Line: 11
$data_in_post = $message;
$lines = explode(PHP_EOL, $data_in_post);
$pattern = 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=';

if(preg_match_all("#\[video=youtube](.*?)\[/video]#s", $data_in_post, $addresses))
{
foreach ($addresses[1] as $key => $val) {
if (strlen(strstr($val, $pattern)) > 0) {
$videoid = substr($val, strlen($pattern));
}
$feedURL2= trim('http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/'.$videoid); # i.e, http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/kffacxfA7G4
$input = @file_get_contents($feedURL2);
$iphone = 1;
$msgip= '';
$flv = '';
if (strlen(strstr($input, "format='1'")) > 0) {
$iphone = 1;
$msgip.="IPhone=YES";
} else {
$iphone = 0;
$msgip.="IPhone=NO";
}
if (strlen(strstr($input, "format='5'")) > 0) {
$flv .=",FLASH=YES";
} else {
$flv .=",FLASH=NO";
}

if(!$iphone){

$error = 'this video does not support for ios : remove ti : '.$addresses[0][$key];
error($error);

#tried the following too but no luck
// $error_inline.= $error;
// eval("\$errorr_inline = \"".$templates->get("error_inline")."\";");
// output_page($error_inline);
// break;
// exit;
// return $message;
}
}

No, simply put all of your plugin code that you want us to read in [php] tags

That would still display the code in a small box, and since the container on this forum is small enough, long lines would be frivolous to read.

And the code tags don't support scrolling for mobile users, which is why I needed him to put it somewhere more universally readable because I could neither waste bandwidth downloading the file or be bothered trying to read the code in his post on a mobile.

See this thread, the solution to it will work for you too I believe http://community.mybb.com/thread-112321.html

yes, that should work if he follows the whole process

/offtopic downloading the file consumes less bandwidth than visiting a website with a logo and other images which besides that also displays the file you've downloaded (not counting CSS files, Javascript files and of course the page itself) - I'm referring to pastebin.

I had access to the cached images from pastebin the previous time I had visited it on my phone, and when I attempted to download the file it just hung in the queue, and if my connection would have dropped half way through download the entire file would have been cancelled.

Loading a website over a 3G network is able to cut the work into segments, and also has access to the cache'd images from pastebin the previous time I had visited it on my phone.

When I attempted to download the file it just hung in the queue, and if my connection would have dropped half way through download the entire file would have been cancelled.

Oh yeah if you had visited it in the past yes, it should not download those images, neither the javascript or css files. However, it will still download the HTML page containing more than the actual file.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "3G network is able to cut the work into segments" but the bandwidth consumed at the end of the month is obviously bigger when you download a webpage like that one rather than just downloading the file itself - unless I'm missing something here.
