[Plugin] Ask_Frames
Not really much to this plugin, its basically a LSQL version of my Links 2 'Ace Frames' mod. It will allow you to redirect your users to the site, whilst still calling jump.cgi. It has the option of a 'remove frame' link, and room in the top banner for and even a logo Tongue Customize to your hearts content, as the frames and banner HTML is defined in the templates.

Well, this is a beta, but enjoy Smile

Re: [Andy] [Plugin] Ask_Frames In reply to
Could I ask why jump2.cgi is compiling GT::SQL, Links::Plugins and Links::User::Jump, yet uses none of them.

You are also importing $DB $USER and $CFG which also aren't used.

Also if the p parameter is defined but is not "banner" I'll get an internal server error I think as you have:

Code:
if ($p eq "banner") { &banner; }

....so if p = banner it will be ok...then:

Code:
if (!$p) {
print Links::SiteHTML::display('jump_frames', { ID => $ID });
}

....so if p is empty it will be ok, but that's it. Anything else will barf.

Paul...I don't quite understand why you think it will barf is $p is defined, for example, as 'test'. It will simply;

Is $p = to banner?
No
Call code below

Or, if $p is defined as 'banner';

Is $p = to banner?
Yes
Call &banner.

I don't see the problem with that code Unsure

BTW: I have added some extra code, that will check if ID exists....

No that's not how it will work.

Here is the code:

Code:
# decide if we wanna show the banner or not...
if ($p eq "banner") { &banner; }


# if we dont have $p defined, then we must wanna show the FRAMEs
# page, so do this here...
# if we only get the ID, then it must be from a category page...
if (!$p) {
print Links::SiteHTML::display('jump_frames', { ID => $ID });
}

That is saying:

if $p equals banner call &banner

if $p doesn't exist print the jump_frames template.

So what if p doesn't equal banner but still exists?

I Andy,

Can you give a bit more info about what this plugin does for those of us that haven't seen your Links 2 'Ace Frames' mod? Without having seen it "it redirects users to the site whilst still calling jump.cgi" says that it produces exactly the same results as if you didn't have it installed! Smile

cheers,

Re: [ryel01] [Plugin] Ask_Frames In reply to
LOL..no problem Wink

Basically, it opens up a page, like;

Code:
------------------------------
| banner |
------------------------------
| |
| |
| |
| page |
| |
| |
| |
------------------------------

'page' will call jump.cgi, so we can still track hits etc.
'banner' will be your template for a banner. As said earlier, it supports a 'remove frame' option, as well as a 'Home' link (as well as globals etc).

Thats pretty much it....basic, but a great way to keep visitors on your site, and also get a little more banner exposure Smile

BUG FIX: version 1.2

I've updated the plugin to include the bug fix, and it should all work fine now.

What was the bug? It was in the Install.pm file, where the error calling was not being run correctly.

Your installer isn't updating the perl path, "use lib" path and Links::init() path so I expect it won't work at all.

I expect that no-one has downloaded the plugin (or have manually fixed it) because the server they are using is irrelevant - it would fail on all servers due to the missing paths.

Well maybe he has the magic touch. When I installed it the path to perl was wrong and two vital paths were missing which I am 100% sure would cause a fatal error.

Nevermind at least you updated it.

Hi

Nice plugin andy

In jump_banner.html all site variables are available

if I add <%Title%> I have the following error message : Unknown Tag: 'Title'

Is it possible to have all the link variables? Except the <%ID%> that works fine...

For exemple I would like to add the name and the actual rating of the website...

ThanksWink

Try adding <%GT::Template::dump%> in the jump_banner.html template, and try again. It will show you all the variables/tags available in that template.

Glad you like the plugin Smile

Not sure how Andy's plugin works but I had a similar frame on my site (until I found lots of problems with cookies and IE6) and passed the title via the link:

http://www.mydomain.com/...ID=1&Title=Yahoo

Then you need to read the inputs into frame.cgi and pass them to the top frame.

Hope that makes sense.
