Hello there!
I saw your post yesterday and this morning I went through my plugin code. I’m pleased to say that version 1.5 was released this morning, and I have coded it in such a way that most, if not all compatibility issues should now be gone.
This is taken straight from my changelog:
- Split the javascript and stylesheets for the uploader and the panel into separate files.
- Changed the loading behavior of the scripts and stylesheets by changing hooks and checking the current page in order to reduce conflicts.
- All javascript has been refined to remove compatibility issues with other plugins.
- Re-coded the entire featured image mechanism to utilize ajax and mimic the original WordPress behavior. In other words, no more reloads! (WP3.5+)
Please test the new version out asap and get back to me with how it works. I’d like as many people as possible to be able to use my plugin, so if there are any further issues I’ll fix them in an instant.
Best regards,
Jonathan
Thanks for the quick reply, however I’m having problems with the new version.
When I update and activate the plugin, wordpress says:
this plugin does not contain a valid header
I’m able to go back to plugin list and second try it activates fine however then the plugin does not appear to work. When editing a post or page the console reports missing files:
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) http://localhost/wp-content/plugins/drag-drop-featured-image/includes/style/drag-drop-uploader.css?ver=3.5.1
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) http://localhost/wp-content/plugins/drag-drop-featured-image/includes/scripts/drag-drop-uploader.js?ver=3.5.1
I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling the plugin and get the same results.
Thanks
Hello!
I’m running 1.5 locally and it’s working good. Although, there were some issues with the SVN as I was publishing the new version. I’m on my way home and will check it out as I get home in about an hour.
Thanks for reporting, and please do keep trying, I made some big changes in this version, which is most likely why something went wrong.
I’ll get back to you soon!
I tried it on another install which never had the plugin and also got the invalid header error.
Plugin was installed from the dashboard installer and error occurs just after installation and clicking to activate plugin.
This was with WP 3.6 Beta 1 but have also tried on 3.5.
When I uploaded 1.5 I had accidentally deleted my .svn file in the trunk and it caused me some HUGE headaches, even today. I just had an hour of complete mess when it comes to the repository but I think I managed to solve it.
Version 1.5.2 has now been released and should fix your issue as well as a broken media manager binding in 1.5. If your problem persists, could you please enable WP_DEBUG in your wp-config.php and let me know if you get a more exact issue.
I believe that fixed it, however I have two other issues to report now that the plugin is running:
1. Dragged image into a post, loading icon appears and spins but gets stuck there. Error appears in the console:
Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token N load-scripts.php:2
2. Drag and drop UI doesn’t appear on pages. It works on posts and custom post types though.
Any ideas?
Hi again!
That’s odd, that’s a behaviour I’ve never accounted before. Sorry that there are so many issues, I tend to be able to use it without these problems but I did notice that it gets stuck now that you mentioned it.
1. What browser are you using, I can’t seem to get the errors to appear in my console.
2. Did you check pages as a selected post type under the plugin settings?
The plugin settings can be found under “Appearance => D&D Featured Image”.
I’ll be looking into this again tomorrow to find the root of the problem and solve it for good.
Thanks for helping me out!
No problem, happy to help work out the kinks.
1. Chrome for Mac
Note: I was not able to reproduce the problem on my clean install wp 3.6 with no other plugins. The install I’m having the problem on is wp 3.5 with the following plugins.
– addthis
– acf
– acf gallery field
– ajax thumbnail rebuild
– black studio tinymce
– disqus
– drag & drop featured image
– enhanced text widget
– jquery hover footnotes
– previous and next post in same taxonomy
– redirection
– seo friendly images
– seo slugs
– stats for s2 member
– widget logic
– wordpress seo
– wp-pagenavi
2. Oops no I didn’t, forgot that it was in the appearance menu.
Thanks!
Hello again!
Version 1.5.4 is now out and solves the freezing issue. I also moved the plugin panel to settings, added more localization and removed upload filesize option – handled by php.ini. Let me know how it works out!
Awesome, thanks for all your help! I will try it out.
Hi!
Did the update solve your problems? Could I mark this topic as resolved? 🙂
Best regards,
Jonathan
