When you go to "Configure Plugins" you should have two entries for the linklist plugins, one under the "Sidebar Plugins" section and one under the "Event Plugins" section... Do they both say they are 1.3?

Yes

And when you go into Spartacus to update them they simply say they are already installed?

Yes

No red icon showing an update?

No icon.

What version of Spartacus are you running?

I have 2.4

When I go to Admin Suite and then Event Plugins, I only see an entry for Spartacus 2.4. and not other version. Again it says that it is already installed and there is no icon for an update.

Josh: upgrade to serendipity 0.9.1. This was a known bug, and has been fixed a month or so ago...

Garvin

Matthew, the Linklist plugin seems (?) to work fine. What are the difference between version 1.3 and the new 1.6/1.4 version??

I got some problems after the last S9Y upgrade, which you, Garvin, fortunately fixed by accessing my site via FTP etc. It was something with the categories and upper cases or lower cases...

I am concerned that if I upgrade now, I might encounter a (new) problem that I cannot fix myself and I would need to ask you again for help.

You said that S9Y 1.0 will be out soon, didn't you? Perhaps I should wait till then. Or at least wait for S9Y 0.92...?

If you recommend an upgrade of both SY9 and the Linklist plugin, then I will do it.

Josh: Acutally the 0.9.1 release version is really a very minor update, nothing to compare with a 0.8 -> 0.9 upgrade. So you shouldn't face any problems at all.

If you want, just upload the include/ and plugins/serendipity_event_spartacus/ folders from the 0.9.1 release to your blog, those are the ones required to get spartacus up and running properly again.

A serendipity 0.9.2 might come out after Christmas, I'm not very sure of that yet. Serendipity 1.0 will be out earliest end of January...

Best regards,
Garvin

There really haven't been any major changes to the way linklist works in the recent updates. I believe it will look identical to the version you are running.

However, there have been some important changes:

There have been updates to its xhtml validity, so if you wish to run a xhtml valid page, I would recommend updating.

Also, Garvin fixed a bug which caused the plugin to break when using non-ascii characters, so that might be a concern for you.

I think there might be a bug in the event_linklist version 1.3 which prevents the output from being anything but categorical... if you decide you want to output alphabetically or some other way you may need to update.

Thank you, Garvin and Matthew.

I have upgraded to S9Y 0.91 and it did not hurt at all.

I have discovered many new functions. You guys rock!

Internet Explorer 6.0 users cannot open the linklist submenues:
http://atlanticreview.org

IE gives the error message:
Line: 3
Character: 5
Das Objekt unterstützt diese Eigenschaft oder Methode nicht. (Object does not support this characterist or method)
Code: 0

Line 3 of what?

The linklist works perfectly in Firefox and Opera.

I don't think it has anything to do with javascript, because javascript is used in the dropdown menues and they work in IE.

I have no clue, what I should do.

I am using the sidebar and the event plugin version 1.6

Josh,
I can verify this on your page...
I cannot, however, reproduce it on my own page... it seems to be working fine there...

If I copy the whole source of your page into a new document and save it, I can reproduce the error, but... if I use just the "Blogroll" portion of your page in an empty html document it works fine.

Unfortunately, I am not well equipped to diagnose JavaScript errors in IE, so it might take me a little while to figure out what is going on... (and if you don't see anything here within the next day or so post another note, or send me a private message, 'cause I might have gotten distracted..)

Anyone else have any ideas?

Ok, Josh, I think I (kinda) know what the problem is... It seems to be a problem with the <ul id="nav"> </ul> portion of your navigation bar at the top of the page... Is that static, or is that part dynamically generated?

For some reason IE seems to have conflict with id="nav" and the JavaScript from the linklist plugin.

When I renamed it to id="navigation" (and then changed all the css to point to navigation) both parts of the page worked fine in IE...

I would actually suggest using something even more esoteric, like id="nav_header_menu" or something like that...

Hope that works for you!

Thank you for all your help!

It works
