cotonti.com : Page Multi avatar ? https://www.cotonti.com Last topic posts Cotonti en Sat, 11 Apr 2026 22:51:58 -0000 Kingsley 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..

]]> Wed, 18 Jan 2012 15:56:14 -0000 McDuck That was my comment on the site developer.
You're absolutely right: each published a plugin must be sufficiently documented to use his novice.
The root problem is that for most authors to write plugins - a hobby, to whom they give their personal time (which is never enough), and the motivation to write the documentation does not exist.
I could not unequivocally and categorically answer the question, what is worse: the lack of the necessary plug-in free access, or availability, but undocumented.

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.

]]> Wed, 18 Jan 2012 12:30:17 -0000 Mr G. last comment has a link to theme where tags are used. Just download and check files i.e. page.catalog.tpl ]]> Wed, 18 Jan 2012 10:12:36 -0000 Kingsley #32707 Trustmaster:

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

 

that's what I more of less meant..

Added 1 minute later:

]]> Tue, 17 Jan 2012 06:54:10 -0000 Kingsley Ah, begin and end tags.. now it works. thx Trust..

Maybe a good idea to create a template for downloads? so this kind of stuff is accessable?

]]> Mon, 16 Jan 2012 19:44:53 -0000 Trustmaster 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="https://www.cotonti.com/{PAGE_MAVATAR.1}" title="{PAGE_MAVATARDESC.1}">
						<img src="https://www.cotonti.com/{PAGE_M__MAVATAR.1}" alt="{PAGE_MAVATARDESC.1}" />
					</a>
					<!-- ENDIF -->
					<!-- IF {PAGE_MAVATAR.2} -->
					<a href="https://www.cotonti.com/{PAGE_MAVATAR.2}" title="{PAGE_MAVATARDESC.2}">
						<img src="https://www.cotonti.com/{PAGE_M__MAVATAR.2}" alt="{PAGE_MAVATARDESC.2}" />
					</a>
					<!-- ENDIF -->
					<!-- IF {PAGE_MAVATAR.3} -->
					<a href="https://www.cotonti.com/{PAGE_MAVATAR.3}" title="{PAGE_MAVATARDESC.3}">
						<img src="https://www.cotonti.com/{PAGE_M__MAVATAR.3}" alt="{PAGE_MAVATARDESC.3}" />
					</a>
					<!-- ENDIF -->
					<!-- IF {PAGE_MAVATAR.4} -->
					<a href="https://www.cotonti.com/{PAGE_MAVATAR.4}" title="{PAGE_MAVATARDESC.4}">
						<img src="https://www.cotonti.com/{PAGE_M__MAVATAR.4}" alt="{PAGE_MAVATARDESC.4}" />
					</a>
					<!-- ENDIF -->

]]> Mon, 16 Jan 2012 16:52:53 -0000 Kingsley 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.

]]> Mon, 16 Jan 2012 15:26:00 -0000 lukgoh Mon, 16 Jan 2012 14:43:37 -0000 Kingsley http://www.cotonti.com/extensions/files-media/pagemavatar

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.
