Description

Well this is it.

Here is a sample of the pageear:

http://cuentatemporal.byethost17.com/

for those who had tested it before please first clean your browsers cache before testing it again. I think now it is working without any problem.

I provide this module for those who would like to test and give me feedback. As soon as I realize it is working fine I would try to get permission to maintain the module and make it available as a new contributed release.

To install the module follow this instructions:

1.- If you have any previous version installed disable it if it is still enable on the modules administration section.

2.- If that previous version you have installed is the one I provided before with uninstall feature. Go to uninstall tab under modules administration section, select pageear on the list and hit uninstall button. Your confirmation to uninstall would be requested. Confirm. (if pageear does not appear on list and it is disable then you dont have the version with uninstall feature so go on anyway).

3.- Upload new module to your modules folder (not the folder for core ones, "modules" folder, in most cases "sites/all/modules" is the correct place, for those who knows how multisite works could be different place but those people would know where to upload it if they want the module only on one site and not all).

4.- Run an update.php. (this is not needed if you never had a pageear version on your site or you had the previous version with uninstall feature and you have done step 2)

5.- Go to modules administration section and enable it.

6.- To enable, add, configure pageears go to pageears administration located under site building administration section.

I would answer all your questions if there is any doubt.

Any feedback would be apreciated too. I need to know if all is working fine and would like to know your opinion about the module.

Those who had tested before please clean caches on browser.

Thanks.

Hey manfer,

I can't see the pageear on the test page. It's interesting because yesterday you sent me the link and it was working nicely. (I have cleaned the browser's cache.) What changes have you done since then?

Moreover, I tested it on my site and it's not working there either. I followed your instructions carefully... I completely uninstalled the old one and I enabled the new one in modules and in the PagEears module too. I ran update.php. Still nothing...

Please help!

There's improvement: it works nicely in IE8 but it doesn't show up in Firefox 3. What shall I do?

there's a slight bug on this development version of pageear and manfer was working on this, the pageear works on mac and linux and in windows it only works in IE 6 and 7 or 8

For you to make it works in all browser by now just edit the pageTurn.js

try to delete the additional declaration of style:none; in line 187
-----------------------------------
From this
document.write('<div id="flagDiv" style="display:none; position:absolute; width:100px; height:100px; z-index:9999; ' + xPos + ':0px; top:0px;">');

To this
document.write('<div id="flagDiv" style="position:absolute; width:100px; height:100px; z-index:9999; ' + xPos + ':0px; top:0px;">');

of pageTurn.js solve the problems and make's it works in cross browser.

Actually I am exited by the release of this module.
manfer do a great job on this.

thanks.

You can also follow us on this thread where we test this development version of pageear for updates.
http://drupal.org/node/460470

and you can see that this pageear works on my test site http://drupal.danreb.com

it used the version that is available here but I remove the display:none in pageTurn.js by now.

I guess you also used windows OS.

Well I think I got it.

The problem on firefox, opera windows was that if the big peel starts out of the page never calls the function that makes the peel appear when all media is loaded. I suppose would work fine with jquery, anyway I changed the javascript functions to use javascript directly.

I changed a little the logic on big peel too because I was experimenting problems with the peel not opening on mouseover sometimes.

I have tested on:

Firefox, Safari, IE8 on Windows
Firefox, Opera on Linux
Firefox, Flock, Safari on Mac

Now works on all of them.

Please test again on my test site (cleaning browser caches to make sure the new files are used):

http://www.cuentatemporal.byethost17.com/

as soon as confirmed it is working I can upload the module again with changes for those who wants to test on their own.

Congratulations manfer! Looks like you made an excellent job! On the test site your PageEar works fine both with IE8 and Firefox 3 (OS: Windows).

Please upload the module again so that I can test it on my own site! God bless you man! :)

I tested it on my own website and it WORKS PERFECTLY! :) Both in IE and Firefox. Again, thank you so much manfred. It's time to throw away the old one and make your pageear available as a contributed release. :)

I hope you'll keep on the nice work!

aquanox24 - July 15, 2009 - 14:12

Yes, yes, yes, ... Wow!
Very good job!

I looked a view days ago for an update for the old version.
And now i found this thread. Great!
Hope you get the maint-role.

FYI: With FF-Adblock Plus, my Filter-Abo "EasyList Germany (Deutschland) + EasyList" has "/pageear/*" in the Filter, so it blocks the Ear.
It would be nice, if there is a way to change the paths. Later!

Thank you manfer!

Thanks a lot all for testing.

I'm resquesting to take over the module and maybe the process is finish soon. As soon as possible I would make this new version available so you can install it as a contributed module release.

I have opened a new issue http://drupal.org/node/526830 with the 6.x-dev and 5.x-dev versions.

The only change on 6.x version in that new issue is a bug fix.
---------------------
pageear.admin.inc file has a typo on line 835. That line is changed from:

    foreach ($estensions as $extension) {

to:

    foreach ($extensions as $extension) {

---------------------

I just provide the 5.x version too.

Special thanks to danreb that pointed me to some issues I hadn't notice and guided me to what I think now is a working version.
