Serendipity Forums

I am having a problem with the configuring plugins. My original installation, performed by my host godaddy.com, was version 0.8.? I have since upgraded to 0.9.1. I don't remember under which version, but I did install the spartacus plugin. I just noticed this the following when I select "configure plugins":

• Error: serendipity_event_bbcode
  Error: serendipity_event_contentrewrite
  Error: serendipity_event_creativecommons
  Error: serendipity_event_entryproperties
  Error: serendipity_event_htmlvalidator
  Error: serendipity_event_karma
  Error: serendipity_event_livesearch
  Error: serendipity_event_mailer
  Error: serendipity_event_searchhighlight
  Error: serendipity_event_statistics
  Error: serendipity_event_templatechooser
  Error: serendipity_event_textile
  Error: serendipity_event_textwiki
  Error: serendipity_event_trackexits
  Error: serendipity_event_weblogping
  Error: serendipity_event_xhtmlcleanup

I discovered this when I was looking to install the entryproperties plugin.

The event plugins I have installed, in order, are as follows:

• Markup: Serendipity
  Markup: Emoticate
  Show Emoticon/Smilie toolbar
  Markup: NL2BR
  Browser Compatibility
  Spam Protector
  Spartacus

So, 1) how do I fix this problem, and 2) should I upgrade to 1.0 beta, or is the version I have considered more stable?

The error you are getting means that a plugin could not be loaded.

A plugin can not be loaded if:

1. The webserver has no read privileges
2. The plugin files do not exist
3. The plugin files have PHP parse errors.

With your 1.0 upgrade you should IMHO wait for the 1.0 final version.

Garvin - I cannot help but wonder if this has something to do with MS FrontPage, and if it does, I realize you would not have the solution.

How, in relatively general terms, does Spartacus work? I'm wondering if that could be a potential source of the problem.

Spartacus works by downloading the files via a HTTP connection to http://cvs.sourceforge.net/ and then storing those files on the server.

The plugins you have listed are internal plugins. Spartacus never touches those, so Spartacus is not the problem.

But FrontPage can very easily be. Especially if it saves files within the plugin folder; the plugin folder is sensitive to any files, especially with somtething like "~" or ".bak" added at the end, or files being in a "_public" folder within that folder.

So, my guess is that it's Frontpage. And I can't help you with that, I have never worked with them.

Best regards,
Garvin
