seems the problem may be when on the extension.php page. (wasnt it you that wanted me to use it?) I disabled PM and made another tab in a new extension uinsg the $Menu->AddTab feature and it still isnt there when on my tab. Appearently I some extra code is needed when writing extensions using extension.php that tells it to "get menu tabs from other add ons" or something..
edit: Ok... this is really weird. disabling and enabling again, I got this to work without PM, but then enabling PM it will do really weird shit like show my "Test" tab (made in PM last time i had it enabled) when on one of the other pages and it will hide this and show the "Wiki" tab when on my DojoFiles tab..
as best as i can figure out the way to get it to work is to have small extensions for your custom tabs as i did with wiki in addition to PM, so as to display your tabs when on extension.php pages. And even then you have to play with enabling them in order to get it to work..
I might have missed this, but I want to use Page Manager to create pages, but not necessarily create tabs for all of them. How would I create a page but not create a tab?
Sirnot, there is a small bug that has crippled all extensions that use add tabs the Tab Identifier (page array) is all in small letters not the original names So DiscussionOverview is discussionoverview and hence its tab isn't visible no matter what you do. Files is files, Blog is blog etc all are broken now. they have to be in the correct case
Hi, I've seen a few extensions being updated including this one. Now what file(s) should I upload? do I have to disable the extension first then upload it again? and what if I have created pages?
Thanks.
for the page manager really all you have to do is update the default.php file. I don't think anything's changed in the ajax script since you've last updated, but just to be on the safe side you might as well reupload ajax.php as well.
edit: that is, only if you're not plagued by the (rather obscure) bug which brought on the update (as described here). if that was the case you'd have to fix the custompages file as well

By the way, I can't drag&drop pages in Page Manager... does anyone know what may be the cause of it?
EDIT // Found the area in the default.php. Awesome extension!

I am getting this error (reported by Firebug).
