Addon: Ajax Categories Manager

[FarmGrrl]

Not to be stupid, but how do I get the page? I extracted it to my Addons directory but I don't see anything extra in the admin. I'm a newbie so maybe I'm just not understanding it.

EDIT: Nevermind, I had to chmod 755 the directory that was created by extracting. Great addon!

@farmgrrl
normaly just extract to addon folder.
then logon to your admin panel and go to addon section.
then push the button. a new window will open with all the thumbs and categories

Please be warned: this addon has compatibility issues with Pixelpost 1.7.

Because of the new Pixelpost Install Routine we updated the function call to start_mysql() function in functions.php.

In order for this addon to be compatible open the manage_categ.php file in the manage_categ folder located in addons.

Look for line 5:

start_mysql();

Change to:

start_mysql("../../pixelpost.php","dummy");

I just updated the addon, see first page for the new description.
I also add it to the new extend section (waiting for validation)

You should change the link on the first posts to:

http://www.pixelpost.org/extend/addo...ager/download/

That way users will always get the latest version, and you can easily see how many times it has been downloaded.

Just a thought. :-)

jaywilliams : You're right, that's done

I installed the latest version and found one small problem. When I go to the CategManager page, everything would display except for the thumbnails.

I went into admin_AjaxCategManager.php and changed the path to the thumbs on line 92, removing one of the ../, and now it works perfect. The thumbs are actually only up one directory, not two from admin_AjaxCategManager.php.

Thanks for this great addon!

Some of my thumbnails couldn't be shown in the categoryManager. I rebuild them, recrop them, and rebuild them again. But some Thumbs aren't shown, but I can change the category only the image is not shown.

@dhdesign : oups ! thanks you very much for reporting this. You are perfectly right, the piece of code was from the previous version and the path wasn't the same ... IE and Firefox seems to "auto-correct" the path that's why I didn't saw any problem (even with and empty cache...)

I just upgraded the fixed addon (v1.01) here : http://www.pixelpost.org/extend/addo...ories-manager/

@Marek : yes, it seems to be the same problem, upgrade to v1.01
