Problems with mobile output plugin
Problems with mobile output plugin
Hi everyone,
I am currently testing s9y as a local installation. I am trying to get the mobile output plugin to work, but when I access the site via ms iPhone all I get is a page full of php errors.
Anyone using this plugin successfully?
Thanks
Luke

Hi!
Think about if you were somebody who wants to help you. What question would you ask yourself?

Re: Problems with mobile output plugin
Hi Garvin,
thanks for your answer. I understand that my post does not contain a whole lot of details.
But at the moment I would really just like to know if the plugin is being successfully used in the community
I am just a little confused since the website for the plugin (http://c.mobile-seo.de) is no longer available and I am wondering, if this plugin is no longer being maintained.
I noticed that the new 2k11 template supports mobile devices quite well, but since there is no ETA (that I know of) for the 2k11 template, I am going with the bulletproof template at the moment which does not support mobile output.
Thanks
Luke

Re: Problems with mobile output plugin
You said you are using it on a "local installation" but that you are also hitting the site with your iPhone... can you share the URL so that others with iPhones can see the errors for themselves? If not, can you post the actual errors here?

Re: Problems with mobile output plugin
Hi DonChambers,
it's a localhost url that I cannot share unfortunately.
I installed the plugin using all the default settings. First thing I noticed are the following three lines at the bottom of the settings page for the plugin:
I then access the site via my iPhone and also using an iPhone user agent for Safari/Mac which gives me the following error (repeated 14 times):
I am really no php guru so I can't see anything wrong here. My first thought were missing curly brackets, so I added them without any success.
Maybe I just misconfigured something. I have no idea where to look first
Thanks for your time.

However, all three files are available in the template folder within the plugin folder.Template iphone.app not installed. You will find one for each type in the plugin directory.

Re: Problems with mobile output plugin
Okay, okay, that's what it was....
I did not know that I would have to move the templates manually to the ./templates folder (d'oh).
I found a hint at Grischa's blog (http://goo.gl/p3kAz) where it said, that the templates would be automatically copied to the templates directory which did not happen for my installation. After copying them manually, everything is working just fine
One more thing...
The documentation link in the settings page of the plugin is still pointing to http://c.mobile-seo.de/ which no longer contains any documentation about the plugin. It might have given me the solution in the first place. Is there still a backup of the documentation somewhere?
Thanks and sorry for the confusion

Hi!
Good you solved that issue.
I believe the old site was not really containing that much documentation, sadly I also don't have it mirrored locally...

Re: Problems with mobile output plugin
Never mind...
During the last days I took a closer look at the new 2k11 template and the longer I play around with it, the more I like it
I especially like how it adapts the layout to every possible screen size. With this template, it really isn't necessary to use the mobile output plugin. It just looks great...
One more off-topic question:
What's the process for updating plugins? Just provide a zipped version to Garvin?
I noticed that the Markdown Event Plugin still ships with Php-Markdown version 1.0.1 and Php-Markdown-Extra version 1.0.1.
The most recent versions are php-Markdown version 1.0.1o and php-Markdown-Extra version 1.2.5 (http://goo.gl/5wLVx). Especially the Extra version contains some very useful new features (e.g. footnotes).
All there is to do is exchange the two php-files in the plugin. I tested it on my local installation and everything is working well.
Now I would like to update the plugin but I have never actively worked with git.

Re: Problems with mobile output plugin
Hi!
Definitely! A fluid template is IMHO much more convenient, also because it doesn't restrict functionality like reduced themes. Also, it's much more maintainable.
About markdown, I believe the problem was that we needed to modify their library to be able to work inside s9y (some global variables and such were replaced, I think). So when upgrading that version, you might first want to compare the original 1.0.1 with the version bundeled in the s9y plugin and see if we were having a vanilla install, or if we modified anything inside there...
Best regards,
Garvin

Either that, or if you're working with github, you can issue pull requests for plugins.What's the process for updating plugins? Just provide a zipped version to Garvin?

Re: Problems with mobile output plugin
Hi Garvin,
you seem to have a pretty good memory
There are indeed some differences (six, to be exact) in the Markdown Extra version 1.0.1 bundled in the plugin and the original version from Michel Fortin (http://michelf.com/docs/projets/php-mar ... -1.0.1.zip).
There are a couple of occurrences of curly brackets to access array members (e.g. line 458):
that were changed to square brackets:
Everything else is identical. The normal Markdown files (verions 1.0.1c) are identical as well.
From what I understand from the PHP manual (http://php.net/manual/de/language.types.array.php#99015) there is no difference in using curly brackets instead of square brackets to access array members, right?
So if I just replace all the occurences (which are still the same in 1.2.5) with square brackets, everything should be fine, shouldn't it?
I'll be happy to apply these changes and provide a zip-file to you. I have never actively worked with git, so providing a zip file would be easier for me.
Regards
Luke

Re: Problems with mobile output plugin
Hi!
Ah, some things come back to my mind. {0} for array access in PHP is in fact deprecated and throws warnings/notices depending on the PHP configuration, so ideally it should stay at [0].
If you can provide a patched update, that would be awesome. Please put up a public URL so that I can easily fetch the ZIP and will upload it to git. MAny thanks!

Patching PHP Markdown 1.0.1o
Alright, I dove right into it and started looking at PHP Markdown 1.0.1o (http://michelf.com/docs/projets/php-markdown-1.0.1o.zip).
In the current version of the plugin, the standard markdown file is unpatched. In the above mentioned version, there seems to be one occurrence that needs to be adjusted.
As said before, I am not a PHP-expert so of course I ran right into a first question.
In PHP Markdown I only found one occurrence of a curly bracket being used to access an array member. Starting in line 905:
From what I understand, in line 6 of the above code, the first character {0} of array member number 3 is accessed. (I have no idea what he is doing with the "? 1 : 2;")
From my research it should be perfectly fine to replace this instance of curly brackets with square brackets since both can be used to access single characters in a string, right?
I hope it is okay if I ask some (stupid) questions.
I really think it's worth updating the markdown plugin since there are some very useful new features.
I am absolutely willing to do it. On the other hand, I don't want to mess it up so I prefer asking.

if ($matches[2] == '-' && preg_match('{^-(?: |$)}', $matches[1]))
return $matches[0];
$level = $matches[2]{0} == '=' ? 1 : 2;
$block = "<h$level>".$this->runSpanGamut($matches[1])."</h$level>";
return "\n" . $this->hashBlock($block) . "\n\n";
}

The "? : " stuff is called ternary syntax, it's the same as if you wrote:

Re: Problems with mobile output plugin
Thanks a lot! Great to know. This stuff is really hard to google for if you have no clue what it's called...The "? : " stuff is called ternary syntax
I am done with the patching. Everything seems to work well.
I am about to send you a PM with the download link.
