Hi raj,

Did you configure the plugins?

Social Connect, GoogleMaps & Analytics needs some API keys or appId (you get those ones on their respectives websites). To do that, you should go to Plugins option in admin panel, and then click on "Configure" un the the plugin's name.

Attributes plugin should be configure also, Realstate plugins needs you to define some property types, Cars plugins needs you to define some makes, models & car types. They also (every attributes plugins) needs you to select some categories in which the plugin will apply.




<< When added a new item, it says some error in items.php ?? >>
Could you write here which error is giving to you? Which version of OSClass are you using?

Thanks.

That doesn't make sense.

1.- What do you mean all other plugins dont show up on admin panel?
2.- Are those plugins files on the oc-content/plugins folder?
3.- Where is it said "Installed"?

Thanks

If you installed the plugin package and it had a "readme file" with the plugin package, remove the readme file and you should see the plugins. The plugin package installs the readme file in the plugin directory along with the plugins. Just remove the "readme file" and the plugins should be in view in the admin panel.

I think there is a bug in plugin installation when using OSClass in Windows (I am using XAMPP, i.e. Apache).

Before being able to install a plugin, it must be registered, this is done by:

Code: [Select]

osc_registerPlugin(__FILE__, 'realstate_call_after_install');
from the index.php file in the plugin directory.

However, PHP's __FILE__ constant is the full path and filename of the file. Then when we actually want to install the plugin, admin/plugin.php does it by:

Code: [Select]

case 'install':
$pn = $_GET['plugin'];
$pnfix = str_replace("/",DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR,ABS_PATH.'oc-content/plugins/'.$pn); // This fixes the run hook to work on Windows.
osc_activatePlugin($pn);
//Re-load the plugins
osc_loadActivePlugins();
//run this after installing the plugin
osc_runHooks('install_'.$pnfix); // We are now running the fixed plugin name.

        osc_addFlashMessage(__('Plugin installed.'));
osc_redirectTo('plugins.php');
break;

As you can see, the above code is already "fixed", but what happened was that $_GET['plugin'] will be 'PLUGIN_DIR/index.php', so when trying to run its 'install_' hook, it would never find it, so the plugin was registered and marked as installed, but never actually "installed".

The bug actually consists of two issues:
1. $_GET['plugin'] is not the full path, or the registeration of plugins should change.
2. The directory separator in Windows is "\", so by using PLUGIN_DIR/index.php, even if the full path was sent, in windows it would never find it.

Sorry if this is the wrong place or way to post this. I hope I was able to help some.

Note: I am using OSClass 1.2 Delta and the plugin in used was "Real Estate Attributes".
