http://forum.madebyfrog.com/rss en-us 25 <p>@Bdesign - If I understand you correctly, your solution would load all tabs in memory and then use a combination of CSS/HTML/Javascript to create a dropdown menu etc?</p> <p>This is offcourse a very nice method, but that probably wouldn't prevent one plugin from making the rest of the plugin config tabs unavailable when it crashes. For example, I don't use SQLite nor the plugin but it was loaded into the admin section anyway, crashed and prevented me from reaching the rest of my admin sections/plugins.</p> <p>Personally, I'd prefer a method which loads each plugin seperately and simply doesn't display a plugin's config section when frog is not able to load that plugin. More difficult to implement(?) but much more stable.</p> <p>Also, while we're on the subject of plugins... ;-)</p> <p>I'd like the admin section to have an option to turn on/off a "dial home" function of the plugins. This function would allow a plugin to check for the availability of a new update.</p> Wed, 30 Jul 2008 04:40:11 +0000 http://forum.madebyfrog.com/topic/377?page=1#post_2159 mvdkleijn http://forum.madebyfrog.com/topic/377?page=1#post_2159 <p>Nice one Bd -- is that sort of like a Plugins plugin? What a concept! :)</p> Tue, 22 Jul 2008 09:07:50 +0000 http://forum.madebyfrog.com/topic/377?page=1#post_2064 David http://forum.madebyfrog.com/topic/377?page=1#post_2064 <p>Hehehe, this is easy to do. I can modify the theme, so when you rollover a tab named Plugin, a dropdown menu would appear with all the plugins activated :P . I've made that on one of my administration themes, as I have MANY plugins activated.</p> Tue, 22 Jul 2008 08:58:23 +0000 http://forum.madebyfrog.com/topic/377?page=1#post_2063 Bdesign http://forum.madebyfrog.com/topic/377?page=1#post_2063 <p>I wondered if there could be a dedicated "plugins" tab, and all the plugins could be "sub-tabs" to that one.</p> <p>Maybe not the best idea, but I see the same problem looming as you do, Andy! It will need some sort of thought by ... Philippe! :) Or someone.</p> Tue, 22 Jul 2008 03:23:29 +0000 http://forum.madebyfrog.com/topic/377?page=1#post_2057 David http://forum.madebyfrog.com/topic/377?page=1#post_2057 <p>Hey all, I would like to suggest a feature to implement in the Framework that will allow the Admin to turn on/off the tabs for plugins.</p> <p>At the moment when you go to Administration and are presented with a list of plugins, I think there should be an extra column with a checkbox to hide/show the plugin info. That way, once a plugin is configured it can be moved out of sight by selecting not to display it.</p> <p>I say this because I think that we may end up quite soon with a list of tabs for plugins that start to 'break' the page because there are too many installed on a site....</p> <p>Thoughts?</p> Mon, 21 Jul 2008 13:43:47 +0000 http://forum.madebyfrog.com/topic/377?page=1#post_2054 Andy http://forum.madebyfrog.com/topic/377?page=1#post_2054
