flexibleZoomEffect - Undefined variable

[Nilsy]

Joomla 2.5.27
Virtuemart 2.6.12

Purchased this product zoom viewer about 3 weeks ago.
Is doing the job required nicely!

However, it is creating a fault that is getting logged on the error_log on the server, stating:
Undefined variable: CssFlexible in /home/SITE/public_html/plugins/system/flexibleZoomEffect/flexibleZoomEffect.php on line 62

Ok, this is just a notice... but after a few days, it mounts up to a bigger file...

So, any clues as to how I can stop this?

The sellers told me to add this statement: $CssFlexible = ''; to the file... but that didn't help, and they are not answering anymore.
I guess the question here is, is that statement correct, and if it is, how should I put that in place for it to do as intended?

try adding to your root index.php file at the top

error_reporting( E_ERROR | E_PARSE | E_CORE_ERROR | E_CORE_WARNING | E_COMPILE_ERROR | E_COMPILE_WARNING );

Tried that... 
Didn't work.

But, just looking at your code, aren't you just trying to stop the reports, rather than fixing the issue?

If you really want it fixed then go back again and ask the supplier of your viewer to provide a solution. When you buy a product you have the right to support.

As you see here (see attachment), they haven't answered for some time...

it is just an undefined variable - in an ideal world it would be defined  - but honestly - it is a meanless notice

either define the var first as the dev suggested,
or check whether it is set

if(isset($CssFlexible)) { do what ever it does  }

or null the notice


put error_reporting(E_ERROR);  at the top of plugins/system/flexibleZoomEffect/flexibleZoomEffect.php

I know it is a meaningless notice... which is why I just delete it.
The point is mearly that it means I must FTP over to the site, and delete it every few days, because it gets big. Sure, I don't mean GB big, just a few MB after some days.
It is just that it seems this should be a tiny thing to either fix or stop.
I am not a programmer, so I don't know how....

When I enter your code at the top... then this happens at the top of my page:

I think you should try a little googling .....  http://bit.ly/1xrpVTP

in php tags obviously

I asked a programmer I know. The fix took about 3.2 seconds.
Dead easy.

Solution was the first code that I was sent... place it at the end of the bracket at around line 39.
