Hi,

As I said it worked fine in the default skin when switching to it

I've just submitted a support request because it and several other plugins aren't working on my site if a custom wrapper is used, even though the IDs to hook onto are present. I've linked to this thread and mentioned Unlucky's problem too.

^^ No help on the bug front, @Edward Shephard. I've been summarily dismissed for using a custom wrapper, which is outside the scope of support.

Marcher has been kind enough to explain to me that the reason it doesn't work in my case is because plugins look for the template called globalTemplate, rather than get called by something within it. (The solution for anybody else experiencing the same is to paste {template="pluginName" group="plugins" location="global" app="core"} within the custom wrapper.)

That doesn't explain what @Unlucky's problem is, since the hook point is there. Good luck to you both in resolving it

New in Version 1.0.3

NEW: Now uses IPS editor for easier formatting.
NEW: Users can now hide message if permitted by admin.

Bug: Fixed bug with group selector.

Note: Moved hook point to improve compatibility with custom skins. (Note: compatibility with custom skins is NOT guaranteed!).
Note: In order to be compatible with IPS editor, custom icons are now selectable by Font Awesome unicode value and not title.
Note: Do not be tempted to upload attachments in the editor - they won't work!

Glad you resolved that and useful to know.

I have just uploaded a new version that moves the hook post right up to the start of 'html > body' so hopefully that might help with custom skins a bit - although no guarantees.

What's New in Version 1.0.4

NEW: Display the message on selected pages based on a whitelist or blacklist

Hi Edward.

 

Great pluging!

 

I have run the last update, but hi is missing the language strings description (titels).

Is this is an fault on my system or your plging ?

They're there. Try reinstalling it.

 

Try reinstalling it.

Problem solved  

Thanks!

What's New in Version 1.0.5 

Switched to using database flag for registered users to dismiss the message as Pages seems intent on ignoring the cookie.

Hi Edward, many thanks for implementing this nice plugin!

As a kind suggestion: if a user hid the global message once, he won't see it anymore, unless he cleans the cookies. Is that possible to make the message visible to all users, once it has been updated with a new text?  

That's the way it should currently work. Every time you update the message or save new settings it resets all of the user cookies. 

Is it true that it is not compatible with IPS Focus Themes?

 

Is it true that it is not compatible with IPS Focus Themes?

I haven't tested it with custom themes so it will depend on how it's been modified.

Hello,

Any chance to support multiple messages?

Doing multiple messages in a nice flexible way would take a bit of work but I might have a look once 4.2 is out.

Wow! Would be great! Thanks! :-)

V 1.0.8: Just done a quick update to add a couple of settings so that you can set a start and end date for the message to display.

Thanks for the update and continued maintenance.

Hey i installed your plugin but it seems that there was an error with the install. If i try to uninstall now the plugin i get this error:

do you know how to fix this ?

Edited April 20, 20177 yr by Willie88

Immediate guess is that the DB column didn't install correctly in the first place and the system therefore can't find it to uninstall it.  Have you tried reinstalling?

i cant cause its shown under the plugins as installed.

if i try to install it as new version i get the error that i dont have permission to it.

Okay if you can't uninstall or install it as a new version I may need acp access to take a look. Can you PM me.

 

Hey. Updated the forum to 4,2,2, and the plugin. Now the plug-in stopped working.

I can not reinstall it through the panel, I get an error. Can there be a description of what and where to add fields or table to the database manually?

It definitely works on 4.2.2 so it must be a glitch with the install. You could either add the missing column manually:

\IPS\Db::i()->addColumn( 'core_members', array(
  'name'	=> 'ebsGlobalMessage_dismissed',
  'type'	=> 'BIT',
  'length'	=> 1,
  'null'	=> FALSE,
  'default'	=> 0,
  'comment'	=> 'If 1, the user has dismissed the global message'
) );

or you could remove the drop statement from the uninstaller.  Go to: yoursite/plugins/globalheadermessage/uninstall.php and remove / comment out the last line:

\IPS\Db::i()->dropColumn( 'core_members', 'ebsGlobalMessage_dismissed' );

then try again to uninstall and reinstall the plugin.
