Anybody get it to work with P2 theme ..

What is the URL of your site? Are you sure you have at least one active subscription for that post?

Hi Camu – thanks for responding and i think i’ve found out a number of things and a bit of a bug …

as fyi, the test site i’m working on =
https://saintjosephbrookfield.com/dude/ … after i submitted the post above, i saw a number of errors in error logs that suggested some other plugins were misfiring … since this was / is a Multisite 3.1.1 network and subsite on that network, i turned off all plugins that were network activated then reactivated at them sub site level … that seemed to help as no more error logs …

then i went back and re-installed the P2 theme unmodified* and brought your plugin online and then loaded each one of the other plugins, one at a time to see if there was conflict …

Firefox was fairly reliable but IE 6 (i know ugh but still wanted to get sense) started to hiccup with intro of Share and Follow plugin but it turns out that this did not get in the way with your plugin but it explained why checkboxes to subscribe to posts were missing (as the Share and Follow icons also went missing in IE) …

so morale of the story … i did not need to add the this code to the P2 comments.php file
<?php if (function_exists('subscribe_reloaded_show')) subscribe_reloaded_show(); ?>

by adding it, i was getting confusing results and once i yanked it, turns out things started working pretty much as advertised …

the bug i alluded to seems to be with Admin not being able to subscribe to comments – my posts, my comments or other author posts or comments …

now maybe i’m missing something as i only have two users on this sub site – me as admin / super admin, and another user as author … when i log in as the author, no problem, i can check to subscribe to a thread, manage my subscriptions, get my emails, etc … but i cannot do the same thing when i log in as admin …

maybe that is by design or maybe i’m missing something or maybe buglet or ..??..

anyhow, thanks again for response and thanks in advance for any pointers you might be able to share … cordially, chuck scott

*i modified the P2 theme so that drop down categories could appear on the front page during a post … this required editing post-form.php, p2.js, and ajax.php … thus i’m not 100% i didn’t introduce error or conflict hence going to propose to client we skip the categories on front page and go back to default files … authors can always log in to the dashboard and update posts with category choices from there …

– fin –

YIKES – do i feel silly … combing thru config settings again earlier this eve and it just hit me with plugin option -> Options Tab -> Let admin subscribe -> i had checkbox to no … ugh … but yippee on options thus i share in case others follow this thread …

as fyi a couple things also occured to me today …

a) the value of testers and software testing … nobody likes to pay for this function but is critical and i found myself sharing said subject on walk earlier today with wife and dog about old thread i read that stuck with me ever since -> “I’d rather find the bugs before my client does” … not sure who said this as is 20+ years in my coding DNA / mantra but i digress …

b) it’s always the user … as a developer and coder of sorts, i too am fluberghasted* when users do silly things and often i just want to say “read the manual” but then i have to drop back and say to self, “well – maybe i could have done a better job with manual ..??.. maybe it should have been a video ..??.. or a video game ..??.. or …”

truly i jest and just wanted loop back with latest on plugin saga status … this is awesome plugin and works like a charm in other themes … not sure why the P2 theme is giving me issues but back to the loop on user – almost always the user -> thus to be continued in this dept as said user seeks to wrestle plugin functionality comfort into theme …

cordially, chuck scott

*spelling = ?? – but also might be new Dr. Seuss word ..??.. and looping back to spelling, Mark Twain was purported to have said, “A man or woman who spells the same word the same way everytime is a person lacking in creativity” … thus the creative word!

Hi there,

I’m glad you found the option by yourself. I know, the documentation is not perfect, but I tried to create and describe all the options in a self-explanatory way. If you want to write a better documentation and participate in the development of this plugin, your contribution is more than welcome!

In the meanwhile, a vote for my plugin would be a nice way to thank me!

Camu
