There must be a way to get this routine to work without resorting to "allow_url_fopen = ON" - the reason php5 turns it off is because it's a security hole...

I too had this error - your post started me on the trail and then discovered that you have to use cURL instead of allow_url_fopen.

replace the ENTIRE "gxbl_simple_get_xml" function in functions_gxboxlive.php with the following:

function gxbl_simple_get_xml($url)
	{
	
	$ch = curl_init($url);
	$html = fopen("example_htmlpage.html", "w");

	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $html);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
	curl_exec($ch);
	curl_close($ch);
	fclose($html);
	
		if ($html)
		{
			$xml = simplexml_load_file('example_htmlpage.html');
			return gxbl_object_to_array($xml->body->div);
		}
		else
		{
			return false;
		}
	}

That fixed it for me - its working fine on my site again now.
