I'm getting Fatal error: Class PluginBlocktypeInvite contains 4 abstract methods and must therefore be declared abstract or implement the remaining methods

My code : in artefact\inviteprograms\blocktype\invite\lib.php

class PluginBlocktypeInvite extends PluginBlocktype {

public static abstract function get_title();

public static abstract function get_description();

public static abstract function get_categories();
public static abstract function render_instance(BlockInstance $instance, $editing=false);

}

i creating plugin for inviting Fb friends with wiki mahara develooper area.

Hi Vignesh,

It turns out that Mahara was not implementing it's abstract methods correctly

To update the way you call the methods take a look at the patches here:

https://reviews.mahara.org/#/c/3474/

So for your code it would be something like:

interface IPluginBlocktypeInvite {
 public static function get_title();

 public static function get_description();

 public static function get_categories();

 public static function render_instance(BlockInstance $instance, $editing=false);
}

class PluginBlocktypeInvite extends PluginBlocktype implements IPluginBlocktypeInvite {
  // any non abstract functions
}

The patch that Robert posted is actually just about something that throws an E_STRICT warning. What you're showing here is a fatal error, because you subclassed an abstract class, PluginBlocktype, but didn't provide implementations for the abstract methods you inherited.

See http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.abstract.php

Cheers,

Aaron
