Description
Inspecting the module updates for my site and the 8-Ball (1.2 from Apr 09) claims that the latest version is 1.1 from Feb 09.
Is this a bug?
Is version 1.1 the valid version?
Thanks

it may just be taking awhile for the update.status module to catch up. There are times when there is some lag. How long has it been since you updated the module?

Don't know what's going on with the 9 april commit. I did a new commit yesterday (22 April) and hope that will get things straight again.
--edit 1--
Oops, meant 9 Feb commit. Anyway, just checked Available updates on my site, and it's showing the v1.2 dated 22 April as the latest and greatest. I have noticed some lags in CVS updates on drupal.org since the upgrade to D6 but don't know what's up with that--maybe just so many people starting to contribute? :-)

I started with the 1.2 which gave the message for 1.1.
Just checked it tonight and it now shows as update for 1.2-beta2. Installed and updated with this version now the modules are up to date.
Thanks
Now the 8-ball image is broken, and does not run.
The link to the image is valid, the image is in the correct structure and the right directory. /sites/all/modules/eightball/eightball1.png.
Tested in IE7, Safari and GoogleChrome.
FireFox3 does not even show a broken image. It is just a black window.
I can download the image from the broken link and it displays fine on my desktop.
Directory structure is rwxr-xr-x.
Files are rw-r--r--.

Drat...I'm seeing just what you describe (broken image on Opera and nothing on FF) on your site, but I just downloaded and installed 1.2-beta2 on rageagainstthecubefarm.com and it's working as expected. Did you clear your cache? The bug in 1.2 was the post URL in the eightballAnswer() function in eightball.js and changes there won't get picked up until cache is cleared. Don't know what the deal is on the image, there were no changes there at all.
Apologies, I messed up in CVS and ended up creating an official release when I really just wanted to put out a dev snapshot. >_<
salud,

Yeah. i saw it was working on the rage site also.
Cleared history/cookies/all data from IE7 and closed/reopened a session. Still missing the image.

Hmm, I just tried your site again and it looks to me like some bad javascript is being cached somewhere, since not only is there a broken image but nothing happens for onClick, which is in a SPAN tag wrapping the image and so should work even with a broken-image icon.
All I can suggest is to start over and make sure everything is cleared out. Please to forgive the compleat idiot approach, but these are the things that worked for me when I got weirdnesses during testing. ;^)
1. Disable eightball
2. Uninstall eightball
3. Clear your Drupal cache (Site configuration > Performance)
4. Re-enable eightball
5. Make sure "Access eightball contents" permissions are set (I should probably lose the permission settings, but for now they're there)
6. Reload your page using Ctl-R to make sure your browser is hitting the server

Ran the described ops and still seeing the problem.
Also seeing it will all the games it appears. Could it be some player issue with the SWTools? I don't know anything about the programming side of things so would appreciate some help. I am sure I am missing something in my SWTools and jscript set up because I haven't changed anything besides turning the options on.
Thanks again.
ORA.

Weird! None of your site's Javascript is working, or just games? Have you tried disabling all your games and enabling one at a time to see if one of them is breaking things? Since I'm sure you double-checked to be sure your Javascript Tools module is enabled, have you asked or seen anything about this in the forums? (Anybody else having this problem?) Wish I could be more help, but all 8ball uses is Javascript Tools, so I admit I don't even know what SWTools are or how to help troubleshoot them.

Yeah. I tried the game On/Off ops. No luck.
All the SWTools and options are on, but I do not know if it is configured correct.
I'll take a look around and see if some one else might have seen this problem.
Thanks for your help.
