adi_recent_tab - Recent Items

gomedia · 2011-09-28 04:09:36

Summary

adi_recent_tab is designed to speed up workflow – especially during website construction.

The Recent dropdown menu shows a list of articles/images/links/pages/forms etc that you have recently visited in the admin interface.

The Recent tab (in “Extensions”) contains the recently visited items as well as some preferences.

This menu/tab contains items that you have visited – as opposed to the Recent Articles list in the Article tab which only contains articles that have been recently modified.

See the help supplied with the plugin, or have a look online. You can download the latest version from here.

Adi, sweet job. Look great on Hive theme, and works well.

I noticed few errors, when installing or activating, the plugin gives an error:

A problem occured while loading the plugin: adi_recent_tab -> Notice: Undefined variable: prefs on line 56

When accessing admin-side steps defined by a plugin (e.g. ?event=article&step=abc_MyEvent, event=image&step=abc_2xthumb):

Internal error "Undefined index: ID"
in textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php(861) : eval()'d code at line 326.
	textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php(861) : eval()'d code:326 adminErrorHandler()

Thanks.

Think I’ve found that particular faux pas … but not sure why I haven’t been seeing it, anyway please redownload version 0.4. Hopefully the gods of change-control aren’t looking.

Yes, I can image it would have a problem. I’ve made the dangerous assumption that there would always be an ID available. Which plugin is it?

Not sure if there even is a one that introduces plugin steps. Could be, but I’m not aware of. I wasn’t really referring to any plugin in particular.

That seems to fix it.

DO NOT INSTALL ADI_RECENT_TAB ON THE LATEST 4.6 – IT’LL BREAK YOUR ADMIN INTERFACE

A fix will be provided in due course.
