Upgrade to 1.1 Now Can't Hide/Unhide Plugins

Hi,

Before the upgrade I could easily Hide or Unhide a Plugin that would display something on the sidebar like the Blog Administration link. Now I can't find a way to do the Hide or the Unhide. I also cant find a way to inactivate or reactivate event plugins.

What am I overlooking?

Thanks

In 1.1 there are drag and drop plugins...with three columns.

Column 1 is on the left and is for plugins to display on the left. The middle column is hidden. The column on the right is for right. I'm attaching a screenshot for you to see this. You click drag the plugins to the column you want and in the order you want and then click 'save'

Thanks. Maybe for morons, like me

, The developers could note that at the top of the page where it does say about Java Script being used. Since GoDaddy has Serendipity now, the helpers in the forums may be asked to do a lot more hand holding.

Hi!

It does say something at the top of the pluginmanager:

Code: Select all

But I agree that s9y is lacking some decent documentation for using it. We are depending on people for documenting s9y, so any help is appreciated

Best regards,

Hey I've always wanted to write a user manual, but I think S9y needs some Inline/In use instructions written from the perspective of a non-programmer.

Since I am just learning PHP I could write the Inlines, but wouldn't know where to place them.

Hi cody!

I could create you an account on our public wiki, where you could add some sections?

Best regards,
Garvin

Well, that's what I do is write. I would appreciate an opportunity like that. I've been all over S9y, so to speak, so as I work with it for my web log I will most definitely suggest Inline or Popup warnings, tips, and suggestions.
I have detected a language issue already for us English as an only language people using S9y. Has many of the things associated with S9y been translated into English?
I would be happy to volunteer as a way to pay for me using this free-to-use software. I have experience in what one could refer to as a flow analysis where I see the breakdowns in what humans usually expect to see next as a computer program operates. Of course my experience is from what an an end-user expects who is not a programmer.
Programmers are like musicians who write in a language that is foreign to most end-users. Their coding is beautiful, but is only experienced by most when it is "played." The first impression of the GUI from an end-users perspective usually make or breaks the software.
