Cool ;) Peter has included some surprises. These surprises are that great that we do not need a version 2.7. Sounds Vista like ...

........... Also, I hope to get some response on the Newsbox thing.

On a clean CMSimple2.6 fix8 installation I do not have any problem with the newsbox function. There is no #cmsimple hide# of the hidden news page visible!!!

Maybe I should consider 2.9? Sorry - I meant 2.7.

@Bob,

can you please report this error via the support request form on my homepage and describe the error messages ?
If errors aren't reported, I can't fix them...

Hi!

I can't find faults in using the last version of the loader with my configuration of plugins, help section comes up in the admin mode of the plugins. Still the message can't find header comes up when switching in the admin mode. But I use the cmsimple version2.6fix8 with AddonsByDjot extension, maybe this is the reason why it comes up. Didn't test it on a clean istallation.

Hi,

......

Please give feedback on:
- That there are no issues with this new version.
- That, if logged in, the "missing header" problem did dissapear (or is not showing up).

A bit late i guess, but i am doing some work on the memberpages plugin, i would like it if the plugin loading was done before the search,sitemap ect. functions so the code in cms.php would be something like

Code:

$f='';

if($function=='search')$f='search';
if($mailform||$function=='mailform')$f='mailform';
if($guestbook||$function=='guestbook')$f='guestbook';
if($sitemap)$f='sitemap';

// Plugin loading
if($cf['plugins']['folder']!="")@include($pth['folder']['plugins'].'/index.php');

if($f=='search')@include($pth['file']['search']);
if($f=='mailform'&&$cf['mailform']['email']!='')@include($pth['file']['mailform']);
if($f=='guestbook'&&$cf['guestbook']['maxlength']>0)@include($pth['file']['gbook']);
if($f=='sitemap'){$title=$tx['title'][$f];$o.='<h1>'.$title.'</h1>';$o.=li($hc,'sitemaplevel');}

This way the plugin can do things before sitemap and search ect. Any comments on this part?

If this would not break any other functionality, I would appreciate this also. This way everything "behind" the pludin loader part could be customized via plugins.

Sorry, but I do not move around with the plugin loader just before the final release of a well-tested beta version, at least not if it is not very-very-very-very well tested ... is it?

Although I agree that all modifiacation should be torughly tested, I think it's more than worth to do the modification.

It will keep CMSimple fully functionnal, and Simple/Small, whilst it would be possible to 'customise' it with plugins!

I've been testing the Svarrer's loader modifications with Memberpages and with SimpleRSS, it seems OK to me.

So, why not do it and call it 2.6 fix9 ? Then we can do some profound testing and goto a final release ("2.7") in a couple of days/weeks.

Dirk.

OK - fix 9 is available - please test well within the next week ;-)

Thanks!

As I discover things, I will post my remarks.
Please dont forget that all this is constructive criticism.

So, here's my first remark.

I've installed fix9, and... whoosh! none of the plugins are found... because the 'plugin folder' setting is not set.

As the package contains a folder named 'plugins', which is the default location for the plugins. In that case, the 'plugin-folder' setting should also contain this default value (in stead of NULL).

(Doing so will surely avoid a lot of setup problems with newbies to the plugin-stuff.)

The plugin loader should not be loaded as default.

It is documented inside the plugin loader:

Quote:

Step 0 - In /cmsimple/config.php set $cf['plugins']['folder']="plugins"; (or set plugins_folder to plugins under CMSimple configuration settings)

Also, some documentaion about it must be made in the documentation at cmsimple.dk
