InnerVisions is upgraded

Posted in : Babble

And I didn't even change the skin!

Well I finally got round to upgrading InnerVisions to the latest version of b2evolution, mainly because it was getting a tad of a ballache developing plugins on my test blog and then constantly having to redo the zip files, something which is automated via my credits page for installed plugins. This is just stage one of the upgrade though, the next step is to integrate my blogrum with the rest of the InnerVisions network. Once again this is going to involve merging two different evo installs complete with all the users, posts, comments and groups ... not made any easier by the fact that the two installs share some users as well .... ah well, it'll be worth it when it's finished .... at least, that's what I keep telling myself ;)

One of the plugins that I'm currently playing with allows you to customise your dashboard to suit your own tastes, it even allows you to add widgets to your dashboard, be warned though, not all widgets play nice on all dashboard tabs .... you can easily tell, they normally barf out with fatal errors ... if they do then just remove them from your dashboard huh? Another cool feature is the ability to drag 'n' drop the widgets into the order that you want instead of the normal "click arrow" ..... "wait" ..... "click arrow" .... you get the picture. If anyone's interested in it then you can read a smidge more on the blogrums ( Experimental : Playing with admin ), don't bother downloading the linked zip though, it's already out of date, you can grab the latest version from here ( AM Deluxe Dashboard ). I will be making a more detailed post about it once it's nearer to a release version ;)

The chances are that this upgrade has screwed summat up somewhere, so if you find anything funky then just let me know .... assuming that the funkiness isn't to do with my anti-spam measures, in which case you might find yourself accidentally banned for a couple of hours ...... guess you'd need to grab me on the forums or my blogrum. When I get chance I'll be removing most of my current anti-spam stuff and replacing it with my Irish Captcha as it's pretty good at telling humans from bots without any hoops for the humans to jump through ;) ... the bright side is that my comment form should actually be able to remember visitors names for them after that :p

* WARNING This is an experimental plugin, use it at your own risk :|
* Installing the Am Deluxe Dashboard will make alterations to the widgets table in your database ( continue / cancel )

* The installation of the plugin failed.


Needless to say, I didn't continue :roll:

Ok, you talked me into it :)
The world didn't end and to my, dimwitted "early in the morning", mind the possibilities look great.

After coffee and brekky , I have to say that this plugin should become part of the 2.5.0 release.
The single Dashboard destination is now "information" rich.

[off topic] Your form still has "remember me" issues[/off topic]

The main problem with the plugin, as it is now, is the fact that it won't survive an evo upgrade because the installer will revert the table back to it's "expected" state. I have got a solution to that but it's a smidge untidy. There's a good chance that it'll find its way into the core once I get hold of FG and show him how it works ;)

My forms gonna have more than a few "remember you" problems for a while because I haven't removed my current anti-spam stuff yet and I'm also in the middle of merging in the blogrum guest account stuff .... which is a smidge fubar'd at the moment as I'm trying to keep it all within a plugin ..... of course, you could always just login,, it has no problem remembering members ;)

Ok, I'm logged in ( I think )
I hope FG gives this plugin a nod of approval. It's full of potential.

You muppet, you already have a login for here ;)

I'm pretty sure he'll approve of it, but it'd be coded into the core as opposed to being a plugin as it is now.

If you want a blast of what it can do then download the version of BOPIT that I'm running ( urm, it's on my credits page somewhere ) and then install it on your dashboard ;)

I have Bobit installed but how do I get it to show up in the list of Plugins for loading into the DashBoard "Left Column"?

Admin > Dashboard > Customise > Choose column > Click "add new widget" > Click "Bobby" > Change settings as desired > Click "update"

Seems like you may have visited while I was down at the pub :)
The issue when I tried was that "Bobby" didn't show as an available widget that could be added...!!!
Thanks.

Yeah, I dunno what happened but, although you downloaded the latest version the code was the previous versions but with the correct version number :crazy:

So I just copy-pasted my code into your file ;)
