I found your plugin a few days ago, and as I’m currently building my website I thought i’d put it to good use.
I’ve modified it slightly so I could put together this look for my footer:

Thanks for the awesome plugin!

I just moved hosts (from site5 to media temple) and installed a fresh version of WordPress with media temple, I downloaded the plugin again but I get a ‘Username unkown, please check.’ error every time I try and configure through the settings page.
Any idea what would cause this?

well, your new host probably doesn’t support json_decode
unfortunately json is the only format zootool supports at the moment, well i’ll look in to it, maybe there is something i can do about it 
Thank you for the input!

I’ve had a look through my PHP configuration and it seems json_decode is actually enabled, any other ideas what could cause this?
One thing that I’ve done slightly different on my server this time is configure my WordPress setup so all the core files are in a directory (files other than the index.php and wp-config files)

I’ve updated the plugin, there should now be a more accurate Error Warning (it does ether fail when you try to activate it, or when you try to enter your data, if its the second case, can you mail me the message? hannes [at] lautr.com )

Hey rifie, hmm, its kinda hard to take a guess here, all possible Situations were something could fail are covered when you activate the the Plugin – and if there is no error showing up here its hard to say… do you use the APC Mode, and does it also show nothing in your apache error log? (if php error loging is enabled) Maybe your Host changed something in there configuration without you knowing.

Thanks for this wonderful plugin. But I have encountered the ‘Username unkown, please check’ issue.
I think my json_decode is OK, and here is the zootool output:
Username unkown, please check.
If you’re sure the username is right, here is what happend:

hi oneV, thanks for the feedback, with which username did this occur?
15. Februar 2012 um 16:21 Uhr
My username is onevcat
and my page on zootool: http://zootool.com/user/onevcat/
I am new to zootool, is that the reason?
16. Februar 2012 um 09:42 Uhr
sorry, cant’t realyl reproduce the problem, if i use your username it works just fine…
17. Februar 2012 um 03:20 Uhr
It just works now, after waiting for about 24 hours from my registration on zool.
It seems the reason is the newly registration. I guess maybe my username was not in the database when WP-zootool asked for two days ago?
Thank you for your reply anyway!
