Hi, I need some help
I just installed s9y, all went well, now I wanted to install the flickr-pluging.
didnt work, different error messages show on the blog..
but in the configuration it says the plugin has been installed, cant do anything here -

My question - is there a way I can undo the whole thing quickly until I figure out to install it correctly?

Thanks

You should be able to click the checkbox next to the plugin, then click the "delete" button at the bottom of the list.

If you want to be really thorough, you can delete the plugin's directory from the Serendipity plugins/ directory *after* you're sure it's not being called any more.

If the checkbox thing doesn't work, you'll have to make modifications directly to the database. Just remove the row with the plugin from the plugins table. This is not recommended, because the plugin may try to do some cleanup when you use the checkbox method.

Note that the flickr plugin requires the phpflickr library as mentioned in the readmefile, and somewhere also in the plugin description!

You must install that on your webspace before you can use the plugin.

Thank you for your answers!

The checkbox thing didn't work.
Thought of messing with the database - but to be safe,
I think I will just reinstall the whole thing, since its fairly new.
And next time I will read the README file first :oops:
It sounds complicated to me, so I will work my way through it and then bother you again
:wink:

You can also just remove the plugin file + directory, then s9y should allow you to easily delete it from the plugin config panel!

Or removing it from serendipity_plugins DB table is even easier.

However, it should also work just the way judebert described it...

the easy way

Hi,
Well before re-installing the whole thing I decided to delete the plugin from the database - and it worked! No more problems!
Just more work to make it look nice.
Thank you guys for your quick help! :)
