Re: aro_myadmin

Pity, I liked especially the possibility of a help article.
I found no hints how to populate it, btw.

Re: aro_myadmin

Anything that appears on the dashboard can be customized by creating a “form” entitled aro_dashboard. You can check out the code in the plugin to see how the default dashboard is generated and customize it from there.

I will look into conflicts with the other plugins and see what I can do about that.

Re: aro_myadmin

I am really enjoying this plugin and I’m excited about the chance to finally mess with the TXP admin area without needing to hack the core files. Very cool. I was wondering about the “real deal” mentioned in the help section of the plugin. It successfully updates the plugin area but on my install it shuts everything down when I log out. Has anyone else observed this?

(If it helps I’m messing around with TXP 4.0.6 on the local server of my Mac.)

Read that anywhere … ;) Thanks!

I didn’t find some of bas_img_selectors input elements on the write tab, only the toggle link plus the image category dropdown are there. Everything is back again, when I deactivate aro_myadmin (currently using Alex’s version). This is reproducible.
If you want to install it for testing: bas_img_selector needs an additional line of code and a setting in “Extensions” in order to work.

Re: aro_myadmin

I may have discovered a problem. I was digging around in the plugin code and some TXP code and I noticed that the id “body” is used twice: aro_myadmin uses it for a div and TXP uses it for the main textarea in the article write/edit area. I think a new id is required for aro_myadmin’s div.

That’s right, in my version/mod I change it for bodywrap

Excellent work, Duchamp and rLoaderro. I’m liking it, but I experience a few errors/problems.

  1. sed_sectionfields and glz_custom_fields
  2. Postmaster

hi Mr. Dale,

I tried testing sed_section_fields but that plugin throws a javascript error whether aro_myadmin is enabled or not. Can you confirm that it does in fact work (re: Content > Write) with TXP 4.0.6? I am using v 0.2.112 of the sed plugin, testing with Firefox 2.0.0.14 and Firebug.

Re: aro_myadmin

Aeron & Alex,
my post #40 about aro_myadmin making certain form elements of bas_img_selector disappear was a little premature, sorry for bugging you. Seems like one simply has to deactivate aro_myadmin and turn it back on again after activating bas_img-selector. Solved both my issues, bas_img_selector and sed_section_fields (cf’s not showing up/getting hidden correctly), and could be reproduced.

Re: aro_myadmin

rloaderro, okay, you get the coolness award in my day. What a sweet interface. I was going to have to go down this path coding this myself, but you make it far easier.

Re: aro_myadmin

Hi Aeron,

I am loving this plugin more and more. Hopefully the option to change the admin styles will make it into the core at some point.

Seeing a couple of issues with other plugins – wet_quicklink and EBL_Upload. Those two plugins don’t work properly with aro_myadmin enabled, but do work with aro_myadmin disabled.

In the case of wet_quicklink, the JQuery modal window opens, but no articles display for linking. EBL_Upload window does not open at all…

Re: aro_myadmin

sweet plugin!

for those that also use rss_unlimited_categories and are a little annoyed that the dashboard doesn’t show the correct number of articles per category (since they use different tables), i just modified the plugin to count the articles correctly. in the dashboard area of the plugin find this line:

$count = safe_count("textpattern", "Category1 = '$row[name]' OR Category2 = '$row[name]'");
and change to:
$count = rss_unlimited_category_count(array('name'=>$row['name']));
if($count==NULL) $count=0;
