Bit frightening until I realised it was just telling me it hadn't found anything. Wonder if a friendlier message is available?

The error message is because the function fhGetItemText no longer exists.
See: http://www.fhug.org.uk/cgi-bin/index.cg ... y&num=5607

I tried replacing the eleven occurrences with fhGetDisplayText.  After that the Plugin works again, but I don't think it works properly.

There may not be a straightforward solution to this problem of the withdrawal of fhGetItemText() that may affect several plugins.
The replacement modified fhGetDisplayText() in V5.0.0.3 is not a direct substitute, and needs further enhancement in V5.0.0.4.

Thanks, Mike.  I guessed this was probably the case.  Roll on 5.0.0.4!

I would like to wait for .4 for this as otherwise I need to make quite a lot of changes, but once the 'min' option is available for fhGetDisplayText() the changes will be much less.

As soon as .4 is out I'll put out a new version.
