[plugin] [ORPHAN] sed_section_fields

Lee

checked your site and found it works perfectly if…

You enable the new section layout via admin > prefs > advanced (scroll to the bottom) and…
aro_myadmin is off!

I’ll see what I can do to track this down locally later but for now you can just disable it.

redbot

Are you using aro_myadmin too?

No, sorry. Also I have enabled the new section layout via admin > prefs > advanced.
I tried disabling some plugins with no success. When I have some free time I’m gonna do some test more methodically.
Furthermore I noticed the only plugin version which is giving no problem (apart for the “address bar problem”) is 0.4.153 – while the plugin library works ok in all latest versions -
That’s all, as I said I’m going to test it more thoroughly as soon as I can.
Thank you

edit: I’ll continue to edit this post as soon as I discover new things

Wait Steve! In an attack of bravery I installed your last version (both plugin and library) to a live site and it’s working great.
So I think there must be something wrong with my local site. Later I’ll clone the live site to my local environment and post here what happens.

edit 2 I’ve cloned the live site (which works ok with the latest versions) in my local environment and it’s not working (to be more precise javascript is not working) so it must definitely be a problem in my local environment :(
But what? It goes beyond my logic.

All

FYI: I’ve tracked down the problem Lee was having and it seems it was due to aro_myadmin’s output buffering. I’ve posted my mod to fix it over on Aeron’s thread.

hmm. So it works fine on a live site but not local — ok, why don’t you email me some details, like both the live and local diagnostics (please don’t post them here). Looking at the differences between setups might help you track down the problem — for example, one using php 4 and the other php 5.

Yes Steve, I’ve already thought about this. The strange thing is my live site (the one which works) runs on php 4.4.7 and my local site (which doesen’t work) on php 5.1.4.
Anyway as soon as possible I’ll send you the live and local diagnostics.
Thank you again.

Thanks again Steve, working perfectly now.

Steve, you’ve got mail

Steve,
I tried with a local install on kubuntu (my previous tests where made on winxp+xampp). It doesen’t work (as the windows install).
At this point – given the previous problems with url addresses – could I hypothesize the problem arises when typing “localhost/my_site”?

Maybe. Ubuntu is pretty easy to configure for virtual hosting so why not give that a shot? That way you’ll get a local address, say http://mylocalsite instead of http://localhost/mylocalsite. It’s the way I always setup my local sites for testing/development etc.

Ok i’ll try when I can.
Anyway, as I said in a previous post, there must have been some change form version 0.4.153 which caused the plugin to fail in local installs so it would be interesting to know if it works for others on a “classic” local install (with addresses like http://localhost/sitename).
Thanks as always for your help.

Steve,
sorry for the delay, I’ve set my local environment to reach the site typing http://mylocalsite instead of http://localhost/mylocalsite and, yes, all is suddenly working ok even locally!
Now that I know what to do the problem is solved for me.
Nonetheless I suggest you to mention this in the plugin help as I think a lot of people are testing their sites without setting virtualhosts, so they could think the plugin is not working.
I also suggest you specify that this is a really simple thing to solve so nobody gets discouraged (obviously it’s just an opinion).
Thanks for you help.

I just tried setting up some sections as “Treat as a static section?” to yes, and it doesn’t seem to work (at least not as I expected it to work).

I have a bunch of sections that are just archives, and I set them up as Treat as a static section? to yes, but when I go to the Write tab, they are still in the drop down section list.

I thought they wouldn’t be there if I set them up as Treat as a static section? Yes.

Am I missing something?

I’m also using glz_custom_fields on Textpattern 4.0.6.

Thanks

coopersita,
you are probably logged in as Publisher, and AFAIK, when you are publisher, even static sections (that is, set by this plug-in) are listed on the dropdown.

net-carver · 2008-08-01 01:39:21

coopersita

Hi, yes, Julián is right. If you are logged in as a publisher you won’t see any difference as someone needs to be able to see all the sections if changes need to be made :) Try logging in as a staff writer or somesuch and all should be fine.

coopersita · 2008-08-02 13:16:07

Oh! That makes sense! Thanks
