Because the Style Manager Interface sucks :D

Well maybe although I don't see why.
I am actually fine wth jel's interface :)

I agree, the concept is nice, but I've disabled it for now because I hate the inteface.

It might have been better if it didn't rely so much on javascript.
And, key colors need to be changed.
I think that if Jelsoft took this into the default package, they could have made it better... Whatever it is, it is handy when products and plugins are together, isn't it?

Yes, absolutely.
That's why I originally made such a thing for me ;)
It's just the interface.

Any chance of making this "anchor" a product group after it has been expanded (and possibly edited)? :)

If you have many plugins and products installed, it's rather frustrating to have to continually scroll down the page to access them while working on them..

Another suggestion; hide products with no plugins.! ;)

I've tried doing this myself, but to no avail.

Hi

I had Kirby's version installed, which I removed and installed this version... get this erro when i try to expand "all product groups"

have not seen this error with anything else, so not quite sure what is happening.... Anyone else seeing this ??

Hmm... i'm not getting that error, expanding and contracting all or individually works fine for myself.

I had this for a bit and switched to Kirby's....not that it's bad, just that the damn style manager inteface was getting to me.

I agree. This is seriously my only complaint with your interphase. Still uses it though. :)

I don't really understand what you mean there mate, can you elaborate? :)
Then how do you suppose we have access to editing those products? Typing the URL manually? ;)
I wrote this interface just BECAUSE it is like the Style Manager, because I love it :)

Ok, with the style manager if you scroll down and expand a template set, the page reloads and "anchors" the set that you have expanded (see screenshot 1). Similarly, after editing a template the page anchors the template that you have just edited (see screenshot 2).

With the plugin manager, if you do the same and scroll down to expand a product, the page reloads but the product isn't anchored. Instead you have to scroll down again, and the same occurs after editing a plugin (see screenshot 3 and 4).

Is it possible to fix? :)


Ah touch?. How about a small line saying "There are no plugins for this product." in italics or something? Just to let the administrator know that everything is working as intended more than anything..

Am I the only one that seems to have problems with plug-ins, not products, showing up in the list after i upload them? I usually end up having to disable this, find the plug in, edit and save, then turn this back on and then I see the plug in.

Keep up the good work Revan.

Revan, very sweet hack! Thanks so much!

Notes:

- Working perfectly with vb 3.5.1!

- I actually installed the [APM] Advanced Product Management 2.0.3 mod first, then used APM to install your hack! They work VERY nice together.

- Also have the following hack installed Quick Import-Add Product and works fine with this one as well!

Thanks again amigo!

J.

Fillip, i have been using the Advanced Plugin Manager - Reloaded for a while now, and it's great. The only suggestion I would make though, is for the new manager to also display the version number for each product.

Oh man awsum!!! hehe I installed adv plugin system by kier 5 minutes ago then see urs screenshot.. thn I install it oh ya also clicked install..

hi,

i'm getting the following message when trying to expand plugins:

Unable to add cookies, header already sent.
File: /home/www/xxxx/forum/includes/adminfunctions.php
Line: 246

any idea what could be causing that? i disabled it and i'm able to see all plugin options just fine...

OK, now this is JUST PERFECT!

Exactely how I wanted it to have! :)
Just tested it on my local 3.5.3 testinstall, and going to put this into my real board!

Thanks man!

I'm getting the same message, so I've had to disable it as well. :ermm:

^^ yeah, sucks because i really miss the clean look..

I can't belived I missed this freaking hack. Glad my PhotoChopping came to life.

[high]* Logikos so clicks the install button![/high]

Problem : Unable to add cookies, header already sent.
File: /***/forum/includes/adminfunctions.php
Line: 236

yup. scroll up a couple posts and you'll see a couple of us with the same problem. :(

When I try to uninstall it I get...

please? :)

Me too ... no idea at all?

I am also getting this error message when trying to expand product listings, so I've had to disable it until someone comes up with a fix. (It's unfortunate, because this layout is much better than the default vBulletin one.)

Just for the record, this was on a 3.5.4 board with a number of product installs, but none of which modified source code. (I also had not used Kirby's variant at any time.)

This error is the same in a new and fresh installed 3.5.4 board. Nothing to do with other product installed.

Any hint?

I PM'd Revan since it didn't seem as though he'd seen this issue.

It may be a while before we see anything, but at least he knows about it now.

Works perfect for me in 3.5.4.

I can't figure this out, doesn't happen to me no matter what I do to try to reproduce this.
Sorry ;(

A couple of thoughts I had, just in case it might help you reproduce the problem:

On my installation, the plug-in that's supposed to strip 'Manage Products' from the Plugin System menu just plain doesn't work. Doesn't work with the product enabled, doesn't work if I refresh the Admin CP, doesn't work if I refresh the Admin CP after CLEARING THE CACHE.

Also, I just remebered: On my site, I'm not using the default setting for my cookie domain (blank). This is because I have vBadvanced running on the core domain and vBulletin installed on a boards sub-domain, and I wanted people to be able to log in from both domains. Would that possibly make a difference? It *does* seem to be a cookie-related issue...

I unisntaleld this (misc reasons) then upon trying to reinstall I get this MySQL error:


My "manage products" link have disappeared and I can only use single plug-ins. >.< Any idea?

I just upgraded to 3.5.4 and it gives me the "headers already sent" error in both my upgraded forum and my test forum. I thought it was something interacting betweek plugins so i installed a second test board with just this extension, but, it doesnt work either.


is this hack still supported? I cant wait for a fix, because I am not able to find the bug :S



oh I just read this. well my friend... i dont know where the headers are being called from the advplugins.php file. this is weird lol

its a shame, this is the best hack for administrating hacks as far as I know. Good job by the way!

Installs, nice add on. Thanks :)

nice, much better than the andreas version. My list was getting far too long and was driving me crazy.

The only question is, why did I not discover and install this earlier?

Great Product.
Thanks

Hey folks!

I never got the cookie error before, and I used this addon lot's of times already on many vB installations.

Today I catched the error on my dev'n'demo vB.
Since it ALWAYS worked fine before (even the same vB version on the same server) I imagined it had to do something with the vB settings.

OK, so much for the histroy lesson ;)

I don't know the exact cause (yet) but this is what I just found out:

Turn *ON* GZIP compression in the vB options -> and it WORKS!
Turn GZIP off -> You (or at least me) get the cookie error.

If any of you who get that error could confirm this, we finally have at least a way to get it working and a base to find what's causing this :)

wow, you are right!

This is weird lol, but as you say, at least we have some kind of clue when and when It does not work.

[high]* COBRAws jumps all over the place because he can use the adv. plugin system again =D

not to jellsoft, this should be standard in vb. ;)
