3. Can you send me a copy of a basic app you can reproduce this issue with? That sounds like a bug we should take a look at.

Please try to reproduce the error as described in this topic: 

I have tried with support ticket, but had no luck so far. 

I need to login in Marketplace on my test installation, that is protected by .htaccess. It's a Plesk managed server, I am server admin dummie, I can only Plesk 😁

How can I allow Marketplace login without opening test installation for the public? Btw opening test installation for the public is not allowed by IPS rules. Yes, I know that I can open it, login und then protect again. But if login is lost, I have to make it again and again and on every test installation I have. It is tedious.

Is there a simple way to allow Marketplace login without removing .htaccess protection for the whole installation?

I get CSRF protection key error when clicking on "Check again" on the frontend and after login into AdminCP. 

Clicking again when in AdminCP does solve the issue.

Delete the templates in your resource uninstall: 

I do. But still there can be a case where the customer renames the template himself. If I rely on the templates name only in my Uninstall extension, I can occasionally delete the templates that do not belong to my app. I know, this would be a very rare case but still, I do not have a good feeling to delete something that I am not sure has been installed with my app. On the other hand, I do not have a good feeling leaving templates in the system, that are definitely unusable without my app. As they are garbage in this case

@bfarber, I am not sure it is the best way to leave templates there. Especially if they rely on existing app settings, storage extension, language strings, hooks and so on. For me, it would be better to map templates to the app and to delete them if the app is uninstalled. As they are not usable without app and not usable on ALL databases but only on specific one.

It’s not about the app/plugin that installed it. It’s about the name of the template. If names match during the upgrade, there will be conflict dialog which gives the user the choice to update the template or to keep the old one. 

Do you get a conflict dialog during install es well? Assuming there are templates that have the same name as yours before your app installed. This is exactly what does not work for me. The installation breaks. I have to remove the templates manually before trying the new install.

1. Uninstalling the application will not remove the custom Pages templates, no.

This would mean that no application that uses this feature will be approved in Marketplace. Right? As for the rules, the Uninstall extension should be used to delete everything that app installs. In this case it would not.

2. No mapping is retained. There is no out of the box way for you to know which templates were inserted from your app.

So, no updates for the templates delivered this way are possible, right? If I release a new version of the app, the templates delivered with it will not be updated as there is no way to know what templates belong to the application.

The reality is, Pages templates aren't designed to be tied to your app - they're part of Pages once they're imported. Databases could be set up that are using those templates and simply deleting them from the database could break those databases, for instance. That said, you shouldn't run into errors reinstalling a copy of the app.

In my app, I deliver a Pages database, templates, language strings, some extensions, custom fields, blocks, hooks and settings with application. The templates alone would not work as they rely on special fields and hooks provided with the app. Leaving templates there after uninstall would not make any sense, as they would throw errors. They cannot be used in other databases without special fields and hooks. 

The question is: does it make sense to provide a one-step-install for a Page database with rich features via special fields, templates and plugins? Or is there no way to be approved in Marketplace with it?

I'll send you a copy as soon as not alpha any more 😉 

I run a SQL query that picks language strings from non-English packs:

select * from (SELECT lang_id, word_key, word_default, COUNT(word_key) FROM `core_sys_lang_words` GROUP BY word_key HAVING (COUNT(word_key) = 1) ) garbage where lang_id = 2

The query assumes you have two languages installed and the second language has an ID=2. Otherwise you have to adjust it. The output will contain the language strings that only exist in the language with ID=2. You can run DELETE query on the selection above or delete them manually through language center in AdminCP.

I have some question to CMS templates included into app:

1. Is it intentional that CMS templates delivered with the application are not removed if application is uninstalled?

2. If it is supposed that deleting must be handled in Uninstall extension manually, how do I know what templates belong to the app? I can see the field template_app in cms_templates table. However there is no value in it for any template. Is there any mapping table or function to get all templates that belong to the app?

3. If the application is uninstalled and the templates are still there and I try to install the application again, I get the error: 

Quote

2S100/6 The page you requested does not exist

The error persists until I manually delete the templates that have been delivered with app. After that the installation is possible again. It looks like leaving templates there produces error, so they must be deleted.

Thanks.

Sorry, due to the corona circus and therefore the constant lack of reliable childcare and quarantine, it is currently impossible for me to plan and execute my tasks in time. I will look into it as soon the childcare is available again. 🤮

Additionally: there has been a patch recently for blog permissions. Run your Support Tool to apply the path first.

Have you checked permissions on Blog?

Normally it should work. If not, I would ask in support, if it is a bug.

edit time for blogs or articles

For articles in Pages database there is a setting Edit own records indefinitely on the database. If everybody should be able to edit the article then you can use Wiki-style editing. As far as I know the blog entries are always editable by blog authors. In 4.4 it was default. 🤨

It is unnecessary to pay for something that simple.

It is not my plugin, I do not get any profit recommending it. 😁 Why do you ask for update, if you able to do it yourself? 😉 The plugin I have mentioned has though more configuration options, like position of the button and group permission settings. And it is supported as the developer is still active here. Just to make it clear in case somebody else is looking for the solution later on.

I have a question. How is it possible that a resource has been approved in Marketplace without having been downloaded?

Or have you reseted a download number for this?

What about this?

Facing the same issue

 

Just updated to 4.5.2. Login is still not possible. The error as quoted above. 😥

It is a per user profile setting (per user) now:

Scroll down to the section Adding a newly purchased application.

Login seems not to work on Android generally. The same here 😏

I have opened a ticket some weeks ago. It will be investigated.

It looks like you have turned on FURLs in ACP but have not uploaded .htaccess yet. 

Look for the key _date_this_week in translations.
