Hi!

I make my first plugin from scratch!
http://blog.stephan.manske-net.de/uploa ... scator.zip

it would be nice if someone with experience can have a look at it.

But I have one little problem:

after uploading AND installing the plugin, going to the list of installable plugins, my plugin is twice times in the list!

some differences:

• pointing the mouse over the first plugin item, it gets a grey background (like the other plugins) for it. pointing on the second: the first one gets grey not the second one!
• the link on the second install button is very strange: "serendipity[pluginpath]=" is empty, "[install_plugin]=" starts with a "@"

and simetimes the first plugin has no "allready installed" while it is of course.

any idea?

Hi!

DO you have a copy of that plugin somewhere? If it starts with a "@" it would mean that s9y regards it as an internal plugin...

I do not know where I should have a copy.

My watching:

If I delete the directory of this plugin via ftp in my webspace, the plugin disappears in the list of installable plugins (both appearances). And I have a plugin with errors in my installed list

Fehler: serendipity_event_email_bot_obfuscator:7473eb5xxxxx

I delete this.

I go to the list installable plugins, there is no item of my plugin.

I upload my plugin via ftp to /s9y/plugins/

again: going to the list installable plugins:

there is ONE occurrence of my plugin, with:
I install it. works perfect.

again: going to the list installable plugins:

NOW there are the two plugin entries for my plugin - like on the images in the first post.

one: "bereits installiert"
one: serendipity[adminModule]=plugins&serendipity[pluginPath]=&serendipity[install_plugin]=@serendipity_event_email_bot_OBFUSCATOR

AND: Waiting some minutes, going to the list of installable plugins there are still two entries but this time (like on the first image here: http://img696.imageshack.us/slideshow/w ... ntwice.png) both have an install-me-button! of course in truth it is still installed). Reloading the page, there is the correct "bereits installiert" (already installed) again.

Is it possible that there is an error in the plugin-code?

Hi!

Is OBFUSCATOR in the end really spelled in lowercase at the one time and in uppercase in the other? Is your filename uppercased? That could be a problem, s9y usually works with lowercasing...

Yes, it is.

And that was the fault!

my class name was
corrected that, everything works fine!

so, there is the working version:

Should somebody test it first or do you want to upload it directly to the repository? (if yes, I want to change the version to 1.0 before)

Hi!

Great

Maybe we can wait a few days and then commit it, if thats okay with you? Do you have CVS access and want to commit it on your own?

no problem

so, folks: Test it!

Do you have CVS access and want to commit it on your own?

I do not - and I think CVS is a riddle wrapped up in an enigma to me

any test reports meanwhile?

I'm not totally sure what's the pupose of this. Which email is obfuscated and how exactly?
sincerely

ok, testing the documentation is testing, too

the plugin has two main features:

a) like a "make a link clickable" for www-Links you can write a mail@example.com without any html-code into a post or a static page. The plugin detects this and convert it to
b) many people fear about address-harvester-bots. So I found two alternatives to "hide" a address from this bots - but without using such crapy non-accessible things like text-as-an-image:

(ok, in the moment I have a test: two adresses, one obfuscated one clear-text, on a good visited page - in the last months no spam to any of this adresses)

1) a javascript builds the address on the fly:
2) IMHO much better - using html entities, so every browser will display it normal, but as I was told, harvester will have their problems:

3) or doing nothing

TODO:

use function b) for the mail-adress of a commentar or so

OK, no panic messages from testers, so Garvin, can you upload it to spartacus, please?

http://blog.stephan.manske-net.de/uploa ... or-1.0.zip

I bump the version number to 1.0 and add an helpfile until last version.

Hi!

Thanks, committed!
