plugin drives me crazy

[Paps]

Hi there,

I'm familiar with php and I wrote plugins for other software, too. But writing a plugin for indexu drives me crazy

When I activate the plugin, I always got a whole page of "������x
�]�s۸����+pj{�u...."

Even when the plugin only contains:

<?
/*
	Plugin name: 	Foo Bar
*/
?>

any ideas?

regards
Paps

No clue, but all plugins typically start off the same way.

First comes this line which sets where the plugin menu will appear and the path to the plugin menu
$plug->SetHtmlHook

Next up is usually this line, which starts to detail the functions of the plugin
function

Each plugin also requires templates to display properly. If there is no template I'm sure this wil lcause IndexU to freak out. That's probably why you're seeing the issue.

- edit -
outsourced the html parts. now it works but I still dont know where the error was...

sound's logical.
I've added some html code in the plugin.php. Maybe thats the point.

I'll write you an pm with the souce, instead of posting the code here because it's a plugin like some other paid plugins.

Maybe you'll have a look on it and you will say: what an idiot...

hello all,

reference my experience, after install or modify source code, specially the templates, you should clear_template_cache.
because the template is loaded from cache (template_c) "smarty style".

that is just information for plugin in indexu.

Good point!

It should be a general rule of thumb that if you make any changes to the site ( template related or code related ) that you clear the /template_c folder
