[Plugin: oik-nivo-slider] Plugin Dependencies issue

Hi, I’m sorry about that. I don’t (didn’t) actually use the Plugin Dependencies plugin; I just thought it was a good idea so I coded the Depends: lines… wrongly.

The workaround to your problem is to either comment out the Depends: line in oik-nivo-slider.php or change ‘oik’ to ‘oik base plugin’.

I’ll leave Plugin Dependencies active until I’ve sorted them out in my development machine.

In the next versions of oik and oik-nivo-slider I’ve developed a slightly different solution that allows the plugins to be activated but not necessarily work. oik-nivo-slider will report a warning message. The idea being that a future version of the oik base plugin will be able to offer to perform the upgrades for you.

BTW: In the next version oik quicktags won’t be a separate plugin.
You will be able to choose whether or not to have it active from the oik options > Buttons menu

Please let me know how you get on.

Hi, I had a problem on Multisite where oik-nivo-slider was not able to detect oik. I thought I’d fixed that in oik version 1.13 but it seems there’s still a problem with detecting the version.

The simplest fix, if you can do it, is to edit the oik-nivo-slider.php file and comment out the penultimate line of code so that it looks like this:
//oik_nivo_lazy_activation( __FILE__, $depends, "oik_nivo_inactive" );
When you visit the Site’s admin page you should see the Nivo settings page under oik options.

You should find that you can use the [nivo] slider even though it’s producing the warning messages on the network admin’s plugin list.
