[Solved] Not working with 2.1 - is an update planned?

whu606

This is a great plugin, but it doesn't seem to work with 2.1.

The 'Like' span doesn't get loaded to the page.

Can we hope for an update?

First get out some details, por-favor, FireFox? FireBug? jQuery error?

May well be worth setting a 2.1 forum up @underdog or its gonna get messy

I'm using Firefox.

There is no error reported in the Error Console, the Like link simply doesn't appear on the page, as the span class does not get loaded.

I did try to have a look at the php file, and compare it with the Quotes plugin one (which does work in 2.1) but I'm out of my depth, tbh.

I messed around with it. hbf programs circles around me so he might have better ideas.

But if you want to give it a try, it seemed to work for me.

1) I changed every reference (there are a number of them.

&$Sender

to 
$Sender

2) I modified this and it seemed to work but it may not be the best way and may even break something around line 225.

     $Sender->Options .= '<span class="Like">';
      $Sender->Options .= $this->FormatLikes($Likes, $Url, $UID, $Self);
      $Sender->Options .= '</span>';

    to 

     echo '<span class="Like">';
      echo $this->FormatLikes($Likes, $Url, $UID, $Self);
      echo '</span>';

peregrine

you could also replace part 2 with this

 //  $Sender->Options .= '<span class="Like">';
  //  $Sender->Options .= $this->FormatLikes($Likes, $Url, $UID, $Self);
  //  $Sender->Options .= '</span>';

    $LikeDisplay = $this->FormatLikes($Likes, $Url, $UID, $Self);

   echo <<<LIKE
      <span class="Like">$LikeDisplay</span>
LIKE;

Thanks for that - you are, as always, a star.

I shall give that a crack.

whu606

@Peregrine - yep, that certainly did the trick!

Thank you so much.

peregrine

glad it worked. thanks for reporting back.

nice, thanks @peregrine

@whu606

The plugin has been updated to include the fix listed here, along with some additional 2.1 compatibility updates.

I suggest downloading Version .6 for anyone running 2.1

BTW - the fix that peregrine provided removes the code which adds like to the options menu, which in 2.1 is the little gear drop down and not a good way to display something like this.
