I get an error with calendar_icon_1.1: Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated; If you would like to pass it by reference, modify the declaration of runtime function name. If you would like to enable call-time pass-by-reference, you can set allow_call_time_pass_reference to true in your INI file in C:\wamp\www\L\plugins\content\calendar_icon.php on line 19 P.S.:I have no PHP.INI, TNX for great plugin

kingheav3n: this is contest site; let's talk by e-mail: depresz at gmail dot com BTW: thanks

Changing line 19 from parent::__construct(&$subject); to parent::__construct($subject);

removing the "&" on line 19 basically.

This worked for me, im sure depresz will comment if this is a good fix as im no pro, but until then it might get you going again, good luck :)
