I installed an OSMap component on my staging site but it seems that it has broken the easysocial instance.

errror: Fatal error: Cannot redeclare dump() (previously declared in /var/www/html/administrator/components/com_easysocial/includes/dependencies.php:23) in /var/www/html/plugins/system/dump/dump.php on line 57

I have deleted the com_osmap instance but the conflict seems to arise from the function_exists call not to work for some reason.
Hi Gavin,
do you realise you have posted access details to your server so other people can see the login details!

Hey Gavin,

In EasySocial, we actually perform checks to ensure that the method name "dump" exists before we declare it. I believe their system plugin isn't checking if the dump method exists and this is why the plugin is throwing errors. What does their plugin do anyway? Is it just a debug plugin?

Yes, I've seen the code, which is why I have mentioned that the function_exists () condition in easysocial doesn't seem to work now in this situation, even when it's supposed to.

OSMap is a site map plugin, so it seems to generate a site map based on the current site's links.

Could you try to test an install of OSMap here: https://extensions.joomla.org/extension/osmap/ so you can see how the conflict arose?

It will be helpful to know this for support purposes as well.

Its very straightforward for joomla 3.5.1 and easysocial 2. currently using rockettheme paradigm template but i dont think thats relevant. OSMap version is the latest available from the link.

Hey Gavin,

Can you update your current staging site Joomla backend and FTP access at http://stackideas.com/dashboard/site so we can better have a check on your site?

Because i did installed OSMAP extension in my locally, it seems work fine.

I suspect that is something to do with that dump plugin.

I've reinstalled on this instance. Please advise on a tested XML sitemap extension that works properly in conjunction with Easysocial 2.

It would be best if you can provide us with your Joomla backend and FTP access so I can check it now.

Hey Gavin,

Thanks for letting us know Easysocial work well, regarding with your XML sitemap question, i think you should consult with Osmap support and i believe they will know more about this.

Based on what i know as long as you have enable this plugin `OSMap - Joomla Content` and create a menu item which listed all the existing article and this XML sitemap will get all the existing article link as well.

I am not warm to using OS Map anymore given that it destroyed my instance upon installation. If you have no recommendations thats fine.
