[Plugin Social Dropdown] Fixing Problems with 2.3.1

  • When you unzip the files it outputs the folder name “social-dropdown”, I tried uploaded that as an upgrade then activeated the plug in. But when you visit the Options area it tells you that the plugin is not installed correctly, also on the main page with the blogs I was getting a javascript error..

    to fix this just deactiveate the plugin and then rename the plugin folder from “social-dropdown” to “socialdropdown”, and re active the plugin this will fix all the problems.

    Also the Raw Sugar url points to a 404 page, maybe the webmaster recently changed the urls but here is how to fix it.

    Find socialdropdown.php then on line 461 change this

    case 'rawsugar':
echo htmlentities('https://www.rawsugar.com/pages/tagger.faces?turl='.get_permalink().'&tttl='.get_the_title());

    to this

    case 'rawsugar':
//echo htmlentities('https://www.rawsugar.com/pages/tagger.faces?turl='.get_permalink().'&tttl='.get_the_title());
echo htmlentities('https://rawsugar.com/home/extensiontagit/?turl='.get_permalink().'&tttl='.get_the_title());

    All that changed what the url.. This is my 2rd upgrade with this plugin and I really like it.. I am sure the author will fix the problems soon.

  • Thanks for informing me of the problem with the RawSugar link. It has been fixed.

    The “plugin is not installed properly” message is a message specially designed to check if the plugin is placed at the right place.
    I’m looking into the problem and may be addressing a fix soon to accomodate both “social-dropdown” and “socialdropdown”.

    I just updated to the new version 1.4.6 and now my admin side of the house is not working, It just says “Preview Loading” I get a javascript error of “Sortable is undefined”.

    Also on the customer side of house, the bookmark link is not working, it’s a normal link and when you click it, it gives a nice javascript error

    I have tested in IE7 and FireFox 2.x

    I am going to have to remove this, I can’t just de activate it because it gives a really bad ugly error message because of the additional php function we added to install this.

    Please let me know when you get this fixed, it’s a nice addition.

    Thanks,
    David

    The problem has been fixed [1.4.7], hopefully. Apparently I didn’t test the plugin hard enough (on Linux). This problem affect Linux servers.

    If you want to edit the plugin file manually, you can replace the GetDropPluginPath() function with

    function GetDropPluginPath() {
    $cleanabs = str_replace(“/”,”\\”, ABSPATH);
    return str_replace($cleanabs, ”, str_replace(“/”,”\\”, dirname(__FILE__)));
    }

    Hi, Multippt

    I am back 1.4.7 is very cool, I like the new features in admin with simple and advanced options of the drag and drop.

    I also like the feature where I can use the dropdown feature or switch to the display all like other social bookmarks.

    Take a look at the bookmark here.

    Anyway nice going with the quick updates.

    One simple thing that I did was modify the show dropdown function

    From

    <? Show_Dropdown(); ?>

    TO

    <?php if (function_exists('Show_Dropdown')){Show_Dropdown();} ?>

    This when I deactivate it, it does not show an nastly little error on my website..

    I hope my input helps.

    Thanks!

    Thanks for your suggestion, I’ll consider it in the next update.
