Weird.</p> <p>Anyway - if you are running 0.9 and plugin browser, you probably see no version listed for all plugins in the 'Local' column. This is due to a change in how bbpress stores the plugin paths in the DB (_ck_ clued me into that) The fix is easy. In the main plugins-browser.php file, add 'user#' before pb-- or pb\-\- on lines 681 (in the preg_replace statement) and line 698 ($plugin['version_local']) Once I did that, the browser worked fine with correct version info, showed updates that existed, and installed them no problem.</p> <p>I'm sure the Wordpress plugin update stuff will make it into bbpress soon, negating the need for this plugin (to a point - the browse part is still great) but until then - this will get you going. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/editing-plugin-files-for-plugin-browser-installed-plugins#post-11355 Tue, 09 Oct 2007 17:09:58 +0000 Jolaedana 11355@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I've reverted to the non plugin installed version (couldn't even delete the plugin via FTP program, I had to do it through the Plugin Manager interface.) and made my changes.</p> <p>For now, I'm just keeping the plugins I don't need to tweak installed through plugin manager- it cuts back on checking for updates at least, so thanks! I'm puzzled as to the cause, since it only seems to be the files created by your plugin effected. It may be something my host has done, I'm unsure. </p> <p>Thanks for the thoughts! </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/editing-plugin-files-for-plugin-browser-installed-plugins#post-11353 Tue, 09 Oct 2007 16:02:05 +0000 Jolaedana 11353@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>How odd... I don't have any problem editing ANY other files on my server- just the files your plugin installed. Really strange. </p> <p>I'm using an FTP program, not the command line- that may yield different results. I can't be root, that's for sure- on a shared host.</p> <p>I'll see what I can figure out- thanks Sam. that's what I needed to know. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/editing-plugin-files-for-plugin-browser-installed-plugins#post-11345 Tue, 09 Oct 2007 05:53:40 +0000 sambauers 11345@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Did the "you do not have permission" message occur on the command line? If the user you login as on the server doesn't own the files you will need to do the chmod-ing as root. If you don't have root access, then I have no idea how you edited the files in the first place.</p> <p>The plugin doesn't do any checking to determine whether the files are writable. It probably fails quite horribly if you have set PHP to write errors to the screen. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/editing-plugin-files-for-plugin-browser-installed-plugins#post-11344 Tue, 09 Oct 2007 05:16:48 +0000 Jolaedana 11344@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Hi Sam! Thanks for the reply.</p> <p>I've already tried to chmod the files- I get a "you do not have permission to modify these files" on all the files, no matter what permission level I tried. I've got pretty extensive web experience, so that was the first thing I tried. </p> <p>I guess for now I'll go back to the non plugin install- I was just curious if there was something written into the Plugin Manager that caused the file permission settings to be locked. Seems odd that I can't even overwrite a .gif file!</p> <p>Thanks for the overview and clarification. :) </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/editing-plugin-files-for-plugin-browser-installed-plugins#post-11343 Tue, 09 Oct 2007 02:01:10 +0000 sambauers 11343@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>The files and folders need to be writable by the webserver user. You may have changed the permissions when you edited the files that exist there already.</p> <p>The easiest approach (but insecure on shared hosting services) is to chmod the files.</p> <pre><code>chmod -R 777 bbpress-root/my-plugins</code></pre> <p>.<br /> Or you can change ownership on those files to the webserver user, usually "www" or "apache" depending on the setup.</p> <pre><code>chown -R www:www bbpress-root/my-plugins</code></pre> <p>.<br /> Remember that the upgrade facility of the plugin browser won't maintain your manual changes to the plugins. You will need to re-edit the new versions.</p> <p>Plugins that are installed normally will happily co-exist with those installed by the plugin-browser. Just keep them outside of the pb--xxxx folder structure. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/editing-plugin-files-for-plugin-browser-installed-plugins#post-11339 Mon, 08 Oct 2007 22:18:07 +0000 Jolaedana 11339@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Hello all,</p> <p>I'm using the <a href="http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/57?replies=1">Plugin Browser</a> by SamBauers.</p> <p>I have a few plugins that I was using, and installed through this plugin (great stuff, btw) that I had modified the files on slightly. Main example here is the <a href="http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/43?replies=3">Page Links</a> plugin- I had changed the page icon graphic to be different colors. I would like to overwrite the file in the Plugin Browser installation of the file, however it tells me I don't have permissions to overwrite the file- or change permissions on the folder or files inside it.</p> <p>Is there an easy work around for this, or should I just go back to the non Plugin Browser version? :) Thanks! </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugins-svn-problem#post-9786 Thu, 02 Aug 2007 10:13:38 +0000 louisedade 9786@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Ok, I'll see what happens with the next update to the plugin. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugins-svn-problem#post-9690 Tue, 31 Jul 2007 23:31:55 +0000 fel64 9690@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I really don't know.

Somehow they are missing in the automated ZIP download.</p> <p>The file structure is:</p> <pre><code>trunk/ (and also &#39;tags/0.7/&#39;) additional-files/ avatars/ (contents missing in the ZIP) my-templates/ (ditto) .</code></pre> <p>Is this a one-off blip or is it a bug? Either way, can it be fixed? </p>
