The file MenuWidget.php was removed. That's the class that fires the event afterAdminMenuLoad.

Even when I used newDirectRequest event only - without afterAdminMenuLoad event-, the design as SS

I don't think the class SHOULD have been removed, it might have been a mistake.

Can you provide us with your plugin code, please?

It's Straight forward as link above

class Pages extends PluginBase {

protected $storage = 'DbStorage';    
static protected $description = 'New Pages Plugin';
static protected $name = "Pages";

public function __construct(PluginManager $manager, $id) {
    parent::__construct($manager, $id);

    $this->subscribe('afterAdminMenuLoad');
    $this->subscribe('newDirectRequest');
}

public function afterAdminMenuLoad(){
    $event = $this->event;
    $menu = $event->get('menu', array());
    $menu['items']['left'][]=array(
            'href' => $this->api->createUrl('plugins/direct', array('plugin' => 'newPages', 'function' => 'rewards')),//"admin/plugins/direct/newPages?function=rewards",
            'alt' => gT('Rewards'),
            'image' => 'bounce.png'
        );
    $event->set('menu', $menu);
}

public function newDirectRequest(){
    $event = $this->event;
    $request = $event->get('request');
    //get the function param and then you can call that method
    $functionToCall = $event->get('function');        
    $content = call_user_func(array($this,$functionToCall));  

    $event->setContent($this, $content);
}

public function rewards() {
    $content = "<h1> plugin content set succesfully </h1>";
    return $content;        
}

}

And if you remove the plugin the CSS comes back?

All pages working fine. Just in this new page from plugin.

ex: http://localhost/limesurvey/index.php/plugins/direct?plugin=pages&function=rewards

Attention : i think directRequest don't need ALWAYS admin css.

Think can be :

• No css (use own view)
• Template css (and page ?)
• Admin page : global/survey/group or question menu.

I already have Own views/css plugin. Survey template and admin are more hack actually.

• I think this should be an option to be more flexible, load admin css or not.

• How can I add a menu to existing one's as plugin example if css not loaded as expected.

• Could you please share your plugin to understand how can I use views and css in plugin ?

Thanks

Sorry, actually the plugin is not public . All my public plugins are here : https://git.framasoft.org/groups/SondagePro-LimeSurvey-plugin

I walkthrow all plugins, it seems there is no one simulate how to add new page, am I wrong ?

No,

The most near : https://github.com/BelgianHealthCareKnowledgeCentre/LS-AutoComment_IterativeQuestionnaire/blob/master/autoCommentIterativeQuestionnaire.php#L555

But for 2.06 only ... bad hackink code.

Configure in Example Plugin NOT working, I got the following error:
Alias "bootstrap.widgets.TbButtonGroup" is invalid. Make sure it points to an existing PHP file and the file is readable.

Also I got the following error when using afterAdminMenuLoad events

Alias "ext.Menu.MenuWidget" is invalid. Make sure it points to an existing PHP file and the file is readable.

autoCommentIterativeQuestionnaire is a 2.06 plugin, not a 2.50 plugin.

Actually : seems there are no easy solution to have

• directRequest plugin
• Use same HTML flow than Core system.
  I don't have this solution : https://github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/pull/466/files#diff-67d1116d08a448054c07a7f6647044e6R95

Please : if you can make some pull request , it can be really great : https://github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/pull/new/master

I didn't talk about autoCommentIterativeQuestionnaire.

It's new issues in 2.50 plugin

Oh yes : this one : https://github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/blob/master/plugins/Demo/Example/Example.php :)

Yes :)

OK, find a solution when have time.

Think i start with a "public" solution, more easy (with the good template etc ...)

I don't fix afterAdminMenuLoad because before it work only in Plugin menu, not in other menu.
But fix only the view.

Leave afterAdminMenuLoad for someone else or for 3.0 (where it's more ready)

@olle : i assign it to you, because i think you made some fix to offer a new way to display admin page for plugin? OK ?

@Denis, yes I did, but only for 2.5. Look at my repo here: https://github.com/olleharstedt/MassAction for an example usage.

This is the part to generate URL to new plugin page:

    $href = Yii::app()->createUrl(
        'admin/pluginhelper', 
        array(
            'sa' => 'sidebody',
            'plugin' => 'MassAction',
            'method' => 'actionIndex',
            'surveyId' => $surveyId
        )
    );

NB: This is not official yet and might change.

status on this bug?
is it fixed?

@LuisGac - I can confirm that the bug is NOT fixed. Running the latest version of LS, following the same example plugin as the reporter. I've slimmed-down the example plugin to only have the newDirectRequest event.

On loading the page, I get this error: Alias "ext.Menu.MenuWidget" is invalid. Make sure it points to an existing PHP file and the file is readable.

I found that the Menu extension's MenuWidget widget is being requested from /application/views/layouts/main.php, on line 31: $this->widget('ext.Menu.MenuWidget', $this->navData);

It is mentioned above that the Menu extension was removed from the codebase, so I'm guessing this line needs to be removed, too. Removing this line loads the page, but as for another poster above, it is missing all CSS/layout found on other pages.

Those instructions are for 2.06, not 2.50.x

IN the future, we'll create a component for menus in admin UI so it will be easy for people to add/remove/update menus anywhere.

@olle - how does one register a route and render a view (with the proper CSS/surrounding markup) in 2.50.x?

Hi Yurly,

Best for now is to check existent plugin. E.g., you could checkout the Cint branch and look at the Cint plugin, or the Mass Action plugin: https://github.com/olleharstedt/MassAction

I'll try to find time to add proper documentation. Just ask me here or on #limesurvey IRC channel if you need more help.

Olle
