Oops, I knew you had listed those, sorry - these long days are killing my attention span. I’m sure Fresh Variables is fine, as that’s newer, but Disable news feed I think is a little older. The version I have locally here on my machine is 0.5. That’s not using any of the hooks I am...hmm. Maybe the punk who wrote Fresh Variables is to blame! (oops...that’s Derek!)
When I get a chance later today (now that I know how to recover), I’ll disable those other extensions one at a time and try again to install Dulee Noted, and let you know how it goes.
Hi, Im getting the same error on a fresh install of 1.6.3 and I dont have any other extensions installed…
The instructions were a little unclear, so can you clarify the following please:
Do I upload the dulee_noted folder to extensions? Or just the files in it? Does the language file go with the main file, or does that go into the main language/english folder?
Where should I have the jquery file? In a js folder in the extensions directory? or in a js folder of the site root?
So basically, now I have a blank admin panel… and will need to follow your previous instructions to uninstall it. Is it possible this plugin just isnt compatible with 1.6.3?
The plugin was developed on 1.6.3, so I’m sure compatibility isn’t a problem. The folder is just a container for the two files - not needed.
Let’s back up a sec - this works like any other extension.
1) ext.dulee_noted.php goes in /system/extensions/
2) lang.dulee_noted.php goes in /system/language/english/
3) jQuery goes wherever you want it. I’d suggest putting it in a “scripts” or “js” folder at the root of your site.
4) Enable the Extesnion.
5) Click “Settings”. Make sure the path to the jQuery file is correct.
That should be all you have to do. I may do a little more testing to see if I can replicate any issues.
I did go into this and look at it - and I should probably rewrite some parts of it to use a different hook. The problem is that you can add stuff to the header in a couple ways, and I think I may have picked the no-so-best way to add stuff to the header in Dulee Noted.
I need to get away from the preg_replace crap, apparently. Here’s hoping that this stuff is easier to do and better documented in EE 2.0.
OK, I rewrote Dulee Noted, and hopefully it will help out with some of these ridiculous blank CP’s we’re hearing about! I’m no longer using any preg_replace madness. Some changes:
- Using a different hook to put code in the header
- Got rid of superfluous “Instructions” text inside the box
- Added Update checking (check the settings page for this) to check Masuga Design to see if there is a newer version
You should probably disable this extension first, if you have version 1.0.8, upload these files, and then re-enable it.
I installed it and had jquery. The field showed but was like the other fields, but couldn’t write into it like normal (thats understandable)
The instructions appeared above the field same as other fields that had them.
Problem was, the jquery file was an older version. Updating jquery to jquery-1.2.6.js
fixed it!
Wow, built in tutorials that can be closed, closed by default, reminders to clients, code samples for them to copy and paste, more reminders! lol
How about...Did you remember to pay your web developer today?
Right, I supply a default value for the jQuery file, which is just an educated guess. You can either change the value there to whatever version you’re using, or update your jQuery to match.
Without a correct jQuery path the instructions will show like normal, and above their box. The jQuery is used to put the instructions in the box.
I’m having a bit of an issue...the text shows up fine BUT the CSS doesn’t seem to be sticking. I’m not seeing a box around the instructions like in your screenshot.
Do you know why that would be? I double checked the path, downloaded latest jquery file, etc, etc.
