    I have installed the form plugin on a new install of 1.5.  Only the core plugins exist in this install and only a few are enabled.  I enabled form only and not any of the other form related plugins yet.  When I add a new form, it...
    • Hi charismeki,

      What do you mean by "dashboard of your plugin"? This sounds like a completely different problem.

      The other reports are about redirection to the Elgg dashboard, which is almost certainly a server configuration issue (it is caused by Elgg permission errors/PHP errors/Apache misconfigurations etc. )

      If you are being sent to the "create a new form" page, this is an issue specific to the form plugin likely caused by a missing form id. If you can tell me how to reproduce the problem I can try to fix it.

    • I read the PHP output buffering issue and checked my Apache configuration, but that wasn't it.  In my search for a solution I came across several other people with the same problem, all using 1.5.  Oh well, I'll just remove the plugin and find (or write) an alternative that will fulfill my needs.  Thanks anyway.

    • Hi Steve,

      Who are those people? If they are having problems with the plugin they haven't reported it to me.

      I can't fix a "bug" that I can't reproduce and that no one except you (and possibly yasyas)  is experiencing. I'm quite eager to get bug reports and fix bugs (my latest release fixes five of them) but the behaviour you are reporting is completely off the scale. Everyone else can at least create forms.

      If you can give me a PHP error message that suggests a problem with the plugin, I'd be happy to look at it. So far you've given me no information that I can work with.

    I think the form for contributing plugins should have more fields and force naming convention or it should take the file and do the naming for the community. I think something like the following would be good: name_1.5elggplugin_v1.4 name = your...
    • I agree.  It was also be extremely useful if we had the option of only viewing only plugins that work with 1.5.  Since the majority of plugins prior 1.5 don't work in 1.5, it would save a lot of headache for users and reduce the number of posts from people wondering why a plugin won't work for them.

    • @Steve C - Great Point.  I hate wasting my time looking @ plugins when I finally find what I think it "the one", and then it's not even for the current version of the software that I'm using!

      That's one of the reasons why Joomla is phasing out the 1.0 versions of their Joomla Extension Directory (JED) later this year.

      Nomenclature - viz "MySpace 1.5-2009-03-26-02 (BETA) .." ?

      nice to see yr implementation ;-)

      if  uploaded  tar/gzip file naming is enforced - maybe better "standards" globally.

      i.e.   preg match $_FILES [ ] [ ]   to enforce naming ? ;-O
