Re: must have hack?
Ohh, neato. So say I have this part in my code:
$link = mysql_connect("host", "user", "pass") or die("Can't connect.");
mysql_select_db("txp_form", $link) or die("Can't select database.");I just take that out? And the rest be kept.

Re: must have hack?
Yep. If Textpattern can connect to the db (which it can since you’re using it) your plugin is connected to the db. Just use the functions within txplib_db.php.

Re: must have hack?
Yep – just use the database functions (safe_*). BTW, txp_form is a table not a database :).
Edit: Man, I am slow today!

Re: must have hack?
Right, doh! I was just making a quick code. I gotta go through it and proofread.

Re: must have hack?
Uh, I’m confused. I have no idea where to go first in the Plugin Composer tab in order to create a plugin?
Sorry to bother with questions. I’m just new to this thing. o.O

Re: must have hack?
I’d use the plugin cache, since it’s really simple – just point TXP to your plugin src (admin>prefs>adv). Here’s an example plugin too (change type to 1 for admin).

Re: must have hack?
Ugh, I hate getting errors. I don’t even know how to fix them according to the error stated.

Re: must have hack?
ied_plugin-composer Hmm.. I keep a copy here, but I might guess there is a reason for it not being available from the author’s site, and I am not capable of providing support for it.
I see you got one.

Re: must have hack?
Yes, I have it installed. Thanks to Stef. :p
I looked through my code and I just think there are no mistakes, however, I still get an error. What could the problems be if I get this error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ‘)’

Re: must have hack?
Your string is probably not escaped – check your quotes.
BTW, hop onto #textpattern on irc.freenode.net for faster responses :).

Re: must have hack?
Huh, where? What is the URL? :p
Ok, well this could be the line. Not sure though.
$types = array('article' => 'Article', 'comment' => 'Comment', 'file' => 'File', 'link' => 'Link', 'misc' => 'Misc');<txp:Ruhh />
