Installed/Uninstalled many times but i still cannot get the search form in editor to show. So cannot test further. Understand that this is BETA so only testing on a test install.

Where exactly does one check for fixing? My options.xml and form.xml are modified for custom filed mapping so not sure if that could be causing this issue.

Agree to the same thing - installed okay, I hit search and this never loads

In our case the search form (above the TAGS area) itself doesn't show. I have cleared cache (vivvo, browser) but no luck.

You need to set admin/template/gui folder permissions to 777

[sip]

PHP is running in SuEXEC mode so don't think 777 (grossly insecure permission) is needed. Will copying any files from plugin to that area manually help?

BTW the admin directory is also renamed to something else. Can this be an issue?



(1) Manually copied html_insights_widget.xml to gui and the form appears but search doesn't work at all. The spinning image just keeps going on and on.

(2) Uninstall plugin (after changing permissions to 777) but html_insights_widget.xml doesn;t get removed.

(3) Installed again after (2) but timestamp on html_insights_widget.xml doesn't change.

So looks like this has issues due to "admin" dierctory renamed to something else. If not then why upon uninstalling plugin the file doesn't get rmoved from template/gui.

However search still doesn't work.

Adding further to above:

Checking from logs:
"POST /admin/plugins.php?plugin=insights&query=&type=1 HTTP/1.1" 404 3702

My admin directory is not named "admin". So Search throws 404 because of that?
Perhaps this also would explain why the file is not being handled properly in template/gu upon install/uninstall.

Does anyone have any screen shots of this plugin in action.. Would really like to see what and how exactly this works.. I have some projects this could be implemented to.

If this plugin does half of what I think it does.. Hats off to the Vivvo team for this expected surprise.. Good to see they are growing vivvo's capabilities!

Problems see to be two fold:

(1) Installation failure due to hardcoded admin directory name.
(2) Search also fails because of (1). Search failure (as in my case) can be fixed by correcting
html_insights_widget.xml
with following (preesuming VIVVO_FS_ADMIN_DIR is defined in conf.php)

<input type="text" class="text insights_search" id="query" name="query" value="{query}" /> <a href="{VIVVO_URL}{VIVVO_FS_ADMIN_DIR}plugins.php?plugin= insights" id="submitstory" class="button primary btn" style="margin-left:10px"><vte:value select="{LNG_ADMIN_SEARCH}" /></a>

Hard coded admin directory name issue also exist(ed) on submit_story and trivia plugins.

So this issue needs fixed in _ALL_ plugin(s) wherever admin directory name is hard coded to "admin"

Issues with hard-coded /admin folder has been fixed, and the plug-in is updated on our Resource Center.

Thanks.
WIKI part is not active?

Suggestions for improvement:

For My Articles section:

(1) List "all articles" for search terms (instead of restricting them to 20)
(2) As a result of (1) introduce Pagination
(3) Search also archives because that's what admin/editors/content managers will be looking for on large "content base" site(s). If "My Articles and Archives" search is going to be a issue then "ADD" another Option "My Archives" for searching from Archives only. This option should only be visible if articles are "Archived" else be hidden.

If php is running as mod_php (same user as your webserver) then admindirectory/template/gui will need to be 777 (downside of running php as mod_php) or you can manually copy

html_insights_widget.xml

to the directory above. Ensure that you have latest download which corrects the hardcoded admin directory issue. admindirectory is name of admin directory.

Just tried this. When linking an article ain't the links generated suppose to print out the article name instead of the article url on the link title?

[PTiCA]

hello,
plug-in is great but I would appreciate more users the opportunity to link tags. Are you considering adding this feature as well?
