Geofinder plugin - no longer works on EE2.8.1

Question

I have a fresh install of EE2.8.1

I want to use the Geofinder plugin and do a location search. On my result page, I am getting serious errors.

Fatal error: Call to undefined method EE_Template::assign_relationship_data() in /vagrant/xxx.dev/system99/expressionengine/third_party/geofinder/mod.geofinder.php

Have anyone went around it

I have gotten this to work with a little massaging. I am trying to contact big robot and send them the patch currently. But you can change the plugin in two places to get it working.

In the mod.geofinder.php file around line 169 you can change

$this->EE->TMPL->tagdata = $this->EE->TMPL->assign_relationship_data($this->EE->TMPL->tagdata);
$this->EE->TMPL->var_single = array_merge($this->EE->TMPL->var_single, $this->EE->TMPL->related_markers);

to

if (version_compare(APP_VER, '2.6.0', '<')) {
    $this->EE->TMPL->tagdata = $this->EE->TMPL->assign_relationship_data($this->EE->TMPL->tagdata);
    $this->EE->TMPL->var_single = array_merge($this->EE->TMPL->var_single, $this->EE->TMPL->related_markers);
}

and you need to change the function render_with_page_fix($channel, $limit, $offset) to a completely different function

function render_with_page_fix($channel, $limit, $offset) {
        if ($channel->enable['pagination'] == TRUE)
        {

            if (version_compare(APP_VER, '2.8', '>=')) {
        $this->EE->load->library('pagination');
        $pagination = $this->EE->pagination->create();
        $this->EE->TMPL->tagdata = $pagination->prepare($this->EE->TMPL->tagdata);
        $total_items = $channel->total_rows;
        $per_page = $this->EE->TMPL->fetch_param('limit');
        $pagination->build($total_items, $per_page);
        if ($pagination->paginate === TRUE)
        {
          $pagination->build($total_items, $per_page);
        }

        return $pagination->render($channel->return_data);
      } else {
                $channel->pagination->EE->pagination->total_rows = $channel->total_rows;
                $channel->pagination->get_template();
                $channel->return_data = preg_replace(
                    "/".LD."paginate".RD.".+?".LD.'\/'."paginate".RD."/s",
                    "",
                    $channel->return_data
                );
                $channel->pagination->build($channel->total_pages);

                $config = array();
                $config['first_url']    = rtrim($channel->pagination->basepath, '/');
                $config['base_url']     = $channel->pagination->basepath;
                $config['prefix']       = 'P';
                $config['total_rows']   = $channel->total_rows;
                $config['per_page'] = $limit;
                // cur_page uses the offset because P45 (or similar) is a page
                $config['cur_page'] = $offset;
                $config['first_link']   = lang('pag_first_link');
                $config['last_link']    = lang('pag_last_link');
                $config['uri_segment']  = 0; // Allows $config['cur_page'] to override

                $channel->pagination->EE->pagination->initialize($config);
                $channel->pagination->page_links = $channel->pagination->EE->pagination->create_links();
                $channel->pagination->EE->pagination->initialize($config); // Re-initialize to reset config
                $channel->pagination->page_array = $channel->pagination->EE->pagination->create_link_array();

                $channel->pagination->current_page = floor(($offset / $limit) + 1);
                $channel->pagination->total_pages = $channel->total_pages;

                return $channel->pagination->render($channel->return_data);
            }
        } else {
            return $channel->return_data;
        }
    }

That should get it working.
