GS Custom Settings [v0.6.2]

[Tyblitz]

I checked on two different servers hosting with Apache, the problem is everywhere.
as if stops working checkbox plugin I18N Custom Fields.

I can just hide the link to deactivate the plugin

Eureka! (maybe).. You know that if you deactivate GS Custom Settings, and have GS Custom Settings code in the Special Page templates, PHP will throw a function undefined error if it encounters calls to any of the plugin's functions (which could indeed result in a broken lay-out).

[Oleg06]

special page code looks like this

Code:

<div class="post">
    <div class="row">
        <div class="<?php if(return_custom_field('full')=='on') { ?><?php if (return_special_field('block')) { ?>col-md-6<?php } else { ?>col-md-12<?php } ?><?php } else { ?>col-md-12<?php } ?>">
            <?php get_special_field('content'); ?>
<?php if(return_special_field('goodshare')=='on') { ?>
    <?php if (return_setting('share_setting','goodshare-use_setting')) { ?>
        <?php get_component('goodshare'); ?>
    <?php } ?>
<?php if (return_setting('share_setting','sharethis-use_setting')) { ?>
    <?php if (return_setting('share_setting','sharethis_setting','value') === 1) { ?>
        <?php get_component('sharethis-gor'); ?>
    <?php } ?>
<?php } ?>
<?php if (return_setting('share_setting','shareeasy-use_setting')) { ?>
    <?php get_component('shareeasy'); ?>
<?php } ?>
<?php } ?>
        </div>
<?php if (return_special_field('block')) { ?>
        <div class="<?php if(return_custom_field('full')=='on') { ?>col-md-6<?php } else { ?>col-md-12<?php } ?>">
            <div class="extra">
           <?php get_special_field('block','',true); ?>
           </div>
        </div>
<?php } ?>
    </div>
</div>
<?php if(return_special_field('team')=='on') { ?>
<!--.team -->
<h2><?php get_special_field('title1','',false); ?></h2>
<div class="row">
<div class="all-carousels owl-carousel owl-theme">
<?php get_i18n_search_results(array('tags'=>'_special_team-member', 'DATE_FORMAT'=>'', 'max'=>99, 'i18n'=>0, 'numWords'=>'-1', 'order'=>'+created','showPaging'=>0,'HEADER'=>'')); ?>
</div>
</div>
    <?php } ?>                
<!--.team -->

and stops working here this part of the code
if(return_custom_field('full')=='on')

since I'm not an expert in php, it may be an error on my part

I disabled your plugin, the error is this

Code:

[28-Oct-2015 00:58:31 Europe/Moscow] PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined function return_setting() in /home/cp893527/public_html/vse-nozhi.ru/0/theme/Building/template.php on line 17

no other errors
line 17

Code:

if (return_setting('site_settings','large-menu_setting')) { include('header2.inc.php'); } else { include('header.inc.php'); }

[Tyblitz]

Haha well it's not an error really. It's normal that you can't use the plugin's functions when it is deactivated. 
Ofc. if you use GS Custom Settings in theme dev, then it is a requirement that the plugin is activated.  

JFYI if you want to provide the user 3 options for share bars or something but only 1 should be used at a time, you might want to consider a radio type setting instead of 3 checkboxes.

Your code could be reduced in size by 75%, see below.

Example of usage:

PHP Code:

<?php 
// share_setting tab has a checkbox setting to enable share bars ('enable_shares') and 
// a setting to select a share bar ('share_choice') with options: 
// [(0) 'goodshare', (1) 'sharethis-gor', (2) 'shareeasy']

   if (return_setting('share_setting', 'enable_shares')) {
      // calling get_setting with 3rd param false RETURNS the TEXT value of the selected option
      $sharebar = get_setting('share_setting', 'share_choice', false);
      get_component($sharebar); 
   }
?>

Sure, do as suits you best.
BTW if you don't want users to see the </> code tags, in your data file you can add the enableCodeDisplay property and set it to 'false'. If you specify a default property on settings, and add the enableReset property to the tab, users can hit a Reset button and the setting values will be set to the defaults.

Code:

    "tab": {
        "lookup": "my_tab",
        "label": "My tab",
        "enableCodeDisplay": false,
        "enableReset": true
    },
    "settings": [
        {
        "lookup": "sharethis_usesetting",
        "label": "Use the Share This",
        "type":"checkbox",
        "default": true
        }

I noticed one oddity
http://youtu.be/BHZwRkOKZls?hd=1
when you deactivate/activate your plugin for some reason stop working plugin I18N Special Pages or I18N Custom Fields

Sorry, this garbage comes when disconnecting any plugin
I try just change the code

I found a solution to your problem by replacing the code

Code:

<?php if(return_custom_field('full')=='on') { ?>

with this code

Code:

<?php if (returnPageField(return_page_slug(),'full')=='on') { ?>

again sorry for the trouble

(@0leg let me know if this setup breaks on litespeed, I had to revert some changes)

[Tyblitz]

V 0.7 roadmap

• Simplified/ more customizable import/export (check what you'd like to include), and standardized export format.
  
• New PHP function for returning an entire tab's settings
  
• PHP internal simplifications
  
• New setting: link (with site pages dropdown or external)
  
• Documentation updates

this setup breaks on litespeed

[Tyblitz]

this setup breaks on litespeed

Hey 0leg, thanks.

I think I figured out the problem. With x-www-url-form-encoded header in a GET req. data is sent as a URL query string. However Litespeed servers (and Windows too) have URL request length limits at approx.  8192 bytes. As the entire settings' data is passed in GS Custom Settings, this is very likely to be bigger than the request length limit. Plus, because Cyrillic chars are multi-byte, the file is quickly heavier. I just tested your export in a string-to-byte converter, and it's at 44.000 bytes, so your server probably blocks the request.

(Another possible cause, check that php.ini post_max_size is > 1MB)

Documentation on this is hard to find, so I can't promise anything. Could you test the patch in attachment (extract to plugins folder) and tell me specifically if (1) the data loads on the screen, and (2)  if the data gets saved (modify some values & reload).

[Oleg06]

in my php.ini there is no such code post_max_size
nothing works and is not saved
I rented Apache to work with your plugin

Ok, but I think your problems indicate that I'm doing something wrong that might cause trouble later on all servers.. 
Could you try once more with the attachment in this post and tell me results?

Nope, that's impossible. The plugin does all with Javascript, so PHP doesn't get parsed.
You can use HTML/JS, but can't use PHP in the value fields either, you'll need a plugin like Dynpages for that.

Workarounds: 
- Go to Settings and copy site link from there.
- Create a GS Custom Settings plugin (a bit overkill)

Hello!
All can be done checkbox on the page "plugins" to show or hide block https://yadi.sk/i/9pd_hr4BjcrFd ?
This option is very necessary!
Thank you!

Hi gslexx, you can't hide the full block. You can only hide the 'Edit' button.

If you use MultiUser plugin: 

1. click the user you want to hide the button for; 
   
2. scroll to 'Denied permissions' title, and check GS Custom Settings
   
3. now the user will not see the 'Edit' button
   

Without Multiuser plugin:

1. find the user in data/users/user.xml and add a node <KO_EDIT>FALSE</KO_EDIT. 
   
2. now the user will not see the 'Edit' button
   

You can also find this info in the documentation.

I'm not going to hide the full bar as I have argued before against it.

If you really want to completely hide the nav, open plugins/custom_settings.php, and find the line // GS Hooks.
Under that paste the following code:

PHP Code:

$restricted_users = array('my_user1', 'my_user2');

if (@$_GET['id'] === 'custom_settings')
  add_action('header', 'restrict_GSCS_nav_access', array($restricted_users));

function restrict_GSCS_nav_access($for_users)
{
  global $USR; 
  if (array_search($USR, $for_users) > -1)
    echo '<style>.edit-nav { display: none !important; }</style>';
} 


In $restricted_users, include all user names that should not be able to see the nav.

Use plugin Custom Admin CSS 

Code:

.invisible-input-container {
   display:none !important;
}
#cs-help {
   display:none !important;
}
[data-bind*="toggleMode"] {
   display:none !important;
}

Thanks for the tips, I will try!
And the customer has "edited" settings! )))

Hi!
I noticed error:
If it was a text field, and then we change its image - the settings are not saved, and the file is written:
"value": "",
"i18n": [
'"
]

Hey gslexx. 
Thanks for reporting, you are right - although it seems to be an issue with the image input - it just doesn't save.
I will fix this in next release. I've also noticed another bug with reverting an i18n input back to regular text input.

hi there,

i tried to install gs custom settings to a new installation with the following result: See attachment.

Any idea?

Thank you.
