How exactly does this work? Call the same way as pageavatar?

The problems I have with it:

Although installed and all tags added to the corresponding tpls, it still says the page edit tags are missing.

When I try to upload images it doesn't do anything but return to the pageadd/pageedit.

strange thing is, when I go to edit page, the output of the plugin is visible. I can select file(s), add  file (s), but it doesn't upload. it returns to the edit page. in stead of publishing the page.

Here are some example tags usage for this plugin.

In page.add.tpl, just this:

{PAGEADD_FORM_MAVATAR}

In page.edit.tpl it's a bit more complex:

<ul>
	<!-- BEGIN: PAGEMAVATAR_ROW -->
	<li><em>{PAGEEDIT_FORM_MAVATARTITLE}:</em> {PAGEEDIT_FORM_MAVATARFILE} {PAGEEDIT_FORM_MAVATAR} {PAGEEDIT_FORM_MAVATARDELETE}</li>
	<!-- END: PAGEMAVATAR_ROW -->
</ul>

In page.tpl it's something like this:

					<!-- IF {PAGE_MAVATAR.1} -->
					<a href="{PAGE_MAVATAR.1}" title="{PAGE_MAVATARDESC.1}">
						<img src="{PAGE_M__MAVATAR.1}" alt="{PAGE_MAVATARDESC.1}" />
					</a>
					<!-- ENDIF -->
					<!-- IF {PAGE_MAVATAR.2} -->
					<a href="{PAGE_MAVATAR.2}" title="{PAGE_MAVATARDESC.2}">
						<img src="{PAGE_M__MAVATAR.2}" alt="{PAGE_MAVATARDESC.2}" />
					</a>
					<!-- ENDIF -->
					<!-- IF {PAGE_MAVATAR.3} -->
					<a href="{PAGE_MAVATAR.3}" title="{PAGE_MAVATARDESC.3}">
						<img src="{PAGE_M__MAVATAR.3}" alt="{PAGE_MAVATARDESC.3}" />
					</a>
					<!-- ENDIF -->
					<!-- IF {PAGE_MAVATAR.4} -->
					<a href="{PAGE_MAVATAR.4}" title="{PAGE_MAVATARDESC.4}">
						<img src="{PAGE_M__MAVATAR.4}" alt="{PAGE_MAVATARDESC.4}" />
					</a>
					<!-- ENDIF -->

Full templates might be confusing to find the parts that you need, so I added these example pieces to plugin's page.

or check comments on author's website

and that would have helped what? still dont see the simple examples on how to use it.

@ Mr G.

I'm sorry, but that kind of information shouldn't belong in comments. Plugin developer helps himself when he gives an example on how to integrate/operate his/her plugin. It shouldn't be a 'quest'.

All I am saying is that when the developers publish plugins, they should do that in one particular format. So that info is understandable and instantly applicable for newcomers (growth is important, even for small communities like Cotonti) and recognizable for community members and returning peepz (coming from LDU/Seditio).

Especially when the plugin DB isn't centralized, but divided over multiple sites. That makes in kinda prudent to have a unified format.

I am totally not commenting on the work the developers produce (and the time spend. Am gratefull for it). All I am saying thet the likelyhood of their plugin being used on live sites raises significantly with a proper example/documentation. In this example, I would never had guessed that there was a begin and end tag. Simply expected it to function like the pageavatar (single) plugin. (mostly due to the almost indentical name).

Don't see me commenting on that as a bad thing. It merely was a suggestion, in favor of the plugin writer..
