Viewlevel Enhancement plugin

padlock.gif will not show up if the path to it is set wrong, I know I had to adjust the path in the .php file.
just do a search for padlock.gif and each time check if it is referencing a path or not. if I remember correctly, in one instance it was just a missing slash just before the word padlock.gif. it all depends where you have the gif file stored in relation to the index.php file.
the white space – did that give problems in the sense that just the whole site went white? I’ve noticed that several plugins create this problem for me…

Regarding white space, yes the site either went white or the pages would display all the PHP code. My lesson learned is that when downloading plug-ins I will always open file and check for extra white space at end of file.
Okay I have fixed the padlock problem. Here is the deal. I am sure wzyewomen has a buch of plug-ins and hacks on her system so this problem did not expose itself until you install ona virgin v1.3 code base. Basically the padlock image would not display because the of two problems: and extra “\” and an incorrect path.
Basically the $site_root variable does not exist and we need to recall that the instructtions request that the image be placed in the wp-images directory. I fixed the code by usinging dirname to adjust for the current file path. Since viewfile.php is installed in wp-content/plug-ins we need to adjust for this. I also found that there was an extra “\'” which probably worked for teh $site_root method. Anyhow here is my patch:
‘
function post_padlock($text){
global $show_viewlevel, $padlock_filename;
if ($show_viewlevel)
{
$leveltext='^{’.intval(viewlevel()).'} ‘;
} else {
$leveltext=” “; }
if (viewlevel()){
// $text='<img src=\”.$site_root.’/wp-images/’.$padlock_filename.’\’ border=\’0\’ />’.$leveltext.$text;
// $text='<img src=\”.$site_root.’/wp-images/’.$padlock_filename.’ border=\’0\’ />’.$leveltext.$text;
$padlock_path = dirname(dirname(dirname(__FILE__))).’/wp-images/’.$padlock_filename;
if (file_exists($padlock_path)) {
$text='<img src=’.$padlock_path.’ border=\’0\’/>’.$leveltext.$text;
} else {
$text=” “;
}
}
return $text;
}
‘

the easier way is to just replace:
$text='<img src=\''.$site_root.'/wp-images/'.$padlock_filename.'\' border=\'0\'/>'.$leveltext.$text;
with:
$text='<img src=\''.get_settings('siteurl').'/wp-images/'.$padlock_filename.'\' border=\'0\'/>'.$leveltext.$text;
also, since border=0 is deprecated, change it to a style tag, to make:
$text='<img src=\''.get_settings('siteurl').'/wp-images/'.$padlock_filename.'\' style=\'border:0px;\' />'.$leveltext.$text;

(there was weird html funkadoo, so i’m trying to repost. also, these changes are in the post_padlock function)

made sure that I have no white space after the php tag – but still, the mmoment I enable this plugin (and a couple of others), my site goes white. any ideas what could be causing this? my index page is a level higher than my wp folder.

This is just what I was looking for. I’m new to wp and I have a question: Where is the plugins folder and how do you activate a plugin? Thanks!
