Pocket error after upgrade to 2.1.6

DenisS

2.1.6 error on trying to access Pockets Plugin from the dashboard. I have tried other themes so i don't think a theme problem:

The error occurred on or near: /home3/han/public_html/isaanexpats/library/core/class.dispatcher.php 33: try { 334: $this->FireEvent('BeforeControllerMethod'); 335: Gdn::PluginManager()->CallEventHandlers($Controller, $Controller->ControllerName, $ControllerMethod, 'Before'); 336:
337: call_user_func_array($Callback, $Args); 338: } catch (Exception $Ex) { 339: $Controller->RenderException($Ex); 340: } 341: } elseif (method_exists($Controller, $ControllerMethod)) {

You need to update all of your plugins to the versions that do work. Please research and look for plugins and themes that do and don't work for 2.1

I have an error with Pockets after reinstalling 2.1.6 the only theme it seems to work ok with is Apptastic version 0.9.2 I have tried Bitter Sweet and + baseline and they have an error. I turned off all Plugins except Pockets makes no difference

peregrine

what error does bittersweet have?

and did you modify the bittersweet theme, or is it unadulterated.

what version number of pockets do you have?

same old questions...... version numbers errors?

or are we looping through the same problem that you had last time relating to pockets

you may have an error in the code you placed in your pockets. try deleting and/or disabling all the pockets.

I'm packing up for the day. Start again fresh tomorrow.
There were no errors showing

Pockets Version 1.1.2 >>>>
I have looked around as to why pockets only works ok with Apptastic theme. I have re-uploaded applications & conf and settings file separately again today in case they were corrupt, but it's still the same as yesterday. I have not altered any files or themes at all. I tried Brand Friendly ( send everything to the right of the screen ) FB Vanilla +Baseline & Bitter Sweet & Pure ( sends all to the bottom of the screen ). Maybe Apptastic alters something somewhere when it's installed ? I checked all versions numbers they are all the
latest versions. >>>>>>
Other small errors when pockets is installed: Favicon disappears if you have a pocket set "before header", if you set Pocket for "After Header" the Favicon is ok but the pockets still goes "before header".

this will not change any errors you may have introduced into a pocket itself.

once again, I suggest you delete the individual pockets. since they are stored in the database.

"You" are probably introducing code that does not work in your pocket.

• once again the same rules apply, disable all your other plugins and use the bittersweet theme.

• if you can't get your pockets to display in bittersweet theme, it doesn't really matter what other themes you try, clear and simple - you have most likely broken pockets meaning the code "you" added into your pocket or pockets via cut and paste in the dashboard. (assuming you did not change .tpl files which you swear you did not do).

please re-read this message 100 times and memorize it by heart.

Just read it 50 times I do the other 50 tomorrow, I am deleting pockets and re-installing them slowly.

good luck. perhaps read 25x after breakfast and 25x after lunch

I recommend the thai basil chicken.

or red curry chicken

I remember Denis had a problem with pockets 2 years ago which rendered his dashboard unusable and I had to go in there and disable pockets. Because he placed some funky code in the pocket that ruined the dashboard view....

Denis, you need to understand that the code you place in pockets does and will affect the entire site. It is a very powerful plugin. You need to look at each pocket you create as an html document and enter the html correctly as you would when creating a web page.

peregrine

you could try posting your pocket code here...

I found the problem: it's this " DIV" < DIV ALIGN=CENTER > in a donate button Pocket on the panel no matter where you put before or after. < DIV ALIGN=CENTER >

vrijvlinder

That is bad html

it should be

<div style="text-align:center;margin:0 auto;">whatever in here</div>

But it would be best to add an Id to it and then use css in the custom css to make it look as you desire.

as vrijvlinder said avoid styles!

assign a class via css

you can't do it better! with a little reading up.

This is the full code it works ok on 2.0.18.8 but not 2.1.6 I've had to put spaces after < to make it show on here. I do use http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
< DIV ALIGN=CENTER >

<div style="text-align:center;">

<img alt="" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_GB/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1" style="border: 0px;"/>
</div>

Change it to this

<div class="Donate">
<span id="donate">If you like us help us no minimum</span>
<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" target="_top">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="BTLA9XAXWHXL4">
<input type="image" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_GB/i/btn/btn_donate_SM.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal – The safer, easier way to pay online.">
<img alt="" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_GB/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1" style="border: 0px;"/>
</div>

then add this to your custom.css

div.Donate{
margin:0 auto;
text-align:center;
}

span#donate{
color:#ffa500;
}

Yes that works thanks, I always wonder what a css did. ;-)
