ajw_notepad_public
I’m still using ajw_notepad_public, but it hasn’t been updated or discussed here at the forums for a long time. I’ve gone through two txp upgrades and it appears to be working perfectly OK, but I have some concerns:
1) it messes with the database when you install it
2) is it possible that an old plug in might start to cause problems, if/when it conflicts with a later txp version?
Anyone else using it? Incidentally, there was a bug with it that I don’t think was ever corrected. When you use it a lot, ie. post a lot of text there, it reaches a point where it says bah! that’s too much, I give up! and all the text just disappears.

It disappears or just becomes invisible? (try doing CTRL+A (select all) and then CTRL+V in your notepad application)
I have seen in Firefox that very long strings of text in textarea fields becomes “invisibles”. If you start to break apart that long line (by hitting enter), the chunks of texts starts to appear.

I think it just disappeared – gone.
I wouldn’t say it was “very long”, particularly. But certainly, if it ever happens again I’ll run that test.

Re: ajw_notepad_public
I remember that the “very long string” I talked about was a 140KB line (that is a very very long line of characters).
I don’t know at which size the bug is triggered.
BTW, the same line in a IE textarea was showing ok.

Does this plugin work with 4.0.6?
I’m not getting a ‘tab’ in admin when I install it.
Does anyone have this working.
Or is there a better plugin now?
Thanks Geoff

Hi Geoff, yes it does but new privileges were added, I think in 4.0.6 so you need to edit the plug-in. Near the top there is a new line to add so it should look like this:-
if (@txpinterface == 'admin') {
// Add a new tab under 'extensions' called 'testing', for the 'test' event
add_privs('notepublic', '1');
register_tab("content", "notepublic", "Notepad");
// 'zem_admin_test' will be called to handle the 'test' event
register_callback("ajw_notepad_public", "notepublic");

Re: ajw_notepad_public
I’m stuck then Geoff. I have it installed at Textgarden and all seems to be working fine in 4.0.6

Re: ajw_notepad_public
Good one Uli. I was just reading the Help for the plug-in and wondering if there might be any “permission” conflicts but then Geoff says that he is seeing the tab but a blank page. If my memory serves me correctly this plug-in adds it’s own table to the database so is that still intact? Does it contain anything?
