Jumi - the set of custom code extensions

[MarHaj]

but when you click a state you get the "direct access is not allowed" message.

I visited the site and saw it too.
Really not very encouraging for the shoppers. :-(

I had a look into the source provided by a browser
There is a line

Code: Select all

<select name="select" onchange="javascript:getinfo('statexml.php?code='+this.value,'state')">

Maybe it is the source of the problem: combination of javascript (user site script processed in the browser) and statexml.php (server site script processed by the server).
If this assumption is true the commenting out security line from statexml.php corrects the problem.
If so you will have statexml.php unsecured. I do not know how to have both in your code puzzle.

It does already have a require once statement for the database (this was already running on a non joomla site and I'm trying to just adapt the code rather than have it rewritten).

Thanks for your help, maybe someone else will see this and have another idea!

I got my jumi plugin to work. It apparently doesn't like to run in custom HTML modules so I made it an article and am pulling it up in the "place here" module (was "content item" module for 1.0). The "place here" module has a button that allows you to run plugins or not and I didn't see that in the custom html module.

[cjmicro]

Danette, I will try that too. Thanks,

We have just release Jumi 2.0.1 for Joomla! 1.5.

Except minor changes (enhanced compatibility with MySQL 4, new languages, ...) you may find interesting these two new features:

Router: if Joomla! SEF is enabled then component application (item) can be called by its alias URL like
http://example.com/application-alias. It brings better SEO leading to more visitors to your site.

Nesting: thanks to Max (see several posts above) the plugin can interpret Jumi syntax {jumi ...} that is written into the included code (a file or code stored in the component database table). It brings new interesting possibilities.

Download Jumi 2.0.1 pack here if you wish. Or, for newcomers, read about Jumi at Joomla! extensions first.

Dear MarHaj,

I am trying to integrate some php code into an article using Jumi - I have successfully pointed to the correct file, at this stage just using jumi_demo.php. After your closing p tag, I added the script I want to use, I have already put all the tables into the database and give all the tables a jos_ prefix but when I open the page, it only shows your initial demo paragraph and ignores anything below....

The script I have added is rather long...

[MarHaj]

...but when I open the page, it only shows your initial demo paragraph and ignores anything below....

Joomla cache? Is it possible?

[viquiw]

Hello, thank you for your prompt reply - I have checked my cache in the global configurations - it is turned off.

I recently successfully used Jumi to create a search module for the new Joomla Community Builder component, which was formerly unavailable, so THANK YOU for Jumi!

My latest project requires a dynamic gallery based on the EventList component by Schlu.net. What I had intended to do was create a folder for a given event to upload images to based on the event's ID. Then I wanted to use Jumi in conjunction with the Simple Image Gallery plugin by JoomlaWorks to display all the images from that event folder.

In order for this to work, Jumi would have to determine the current event ID from the page URL, and then insert that into the Simple Image Gallery mambot like so: {gallery}{jumi ...}{/gallery}, but this doesn't work. Is it possible for Jumi to work inside another mambot? I also tried creating the full mambot declaration inside the jumi file, but this doesn't work either. Any ideas on how I can accomplish this?

So I got the Jumi/Simple Image Gallery combo working by changing the order of my plugins in the Joomla! backend... now I am trying to track down the variable references I need to use to inject the code into the component, but I'm having trouble tracking down the right variable. I found somewhere a command I could use to echo all of the accessible Joomla! variables to the page using Jumi, but now I can't track down the command. Any idea what I'm referring to? It was something like all_vars()...

Matt, maybe php function var_dump()?
I am using for this purpose Mjaz tools Dump free tool for Joomla (now under the name J!Dump). Terribly efficient and simple.
I think that will help you.

Hi,
I am using Jumi 2.0 now for a few days and it works great for me, as my problem was to display text coming from a txt.file in a Joomla article.

The only problem I still have is that the file is written in german language and therefore has umlauts like ä, ö, ü, ß.

Those umlauts display correctly when I do enter them in an article directly, but they get displayed like that ---> f�r when I implement my txt.file with jumi.

In my small knowledge I would say this has something to do with charsets but i do not find any setting where I can change this.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance for answers.
Mathias

Just to let you know it was a sql dump error causing the problem - all fixed now, thanks for a great application!

[MarHaj]

The only problem I still have is that the file is written in german language and therefore has umlauts like ä, ö, ü, ß.

Mathias,
you did not wrote in what coding your txt files are saved. I suggest to verify it and saved them as utf-8.
Not every txt editor can do that. Try free pspad.com. You can also choose what type of line ends (unix,dos,mac) you want.

[zunshiner]

Hallo MarHaj,
thanks for the reply.
I just checked two things:
1. It looks like my file.txt is in ANSI.
2. When I download the file to my computer open it with PSPAD and change the codepage to UTF-8, save the file and upload it again on my webspace, it shows the Umlauts correctly.

HOOOORAY!

Part 1 is solved.
Part 2 for me will now be how can i get the file automatically in UTF-8 instead of ANSI.

Thanks for your help so far.

Greetings
Mathias

Mathias,
you can find automatic ANSI to UTF conversion tool on Google.
As I did: http://software.techrepublic.com.com/ab ... cid=225498
Not free completely but free to try only.
Maybe it does the expected job.

[zunshiner]

Hello,
thanks for all the help. Right now i dont have the solution ready but I know now where to start.
Again, thanks a lot for your help.

Regards
Mathias

I upgraded from J! 1.5.7 to 1.5.8 and suddenly, the Jumi plugin won't render a PHP page that was working earlier. Now, the site just displays the Jumi URL.

I then tried to uninstall Jumi. Couldn't find an Uninstall option, so I tried manually: removed all Jumi related folders on the web server + the EN language file. Still, I cannot re-install Jumi 2.0.1, no matter what I do.

1. How do I remove Jumi completely?

2. Also, is there a way to install the plug-in, the component, the module separately. Let's say I only need the plug-in...??

Thanks for this great software!

Hi There,
many thanks for your powerfull extension. I just started to use it. I have a small problem.
I am having a form where some search terms are filled in. Upon pressing the submit button, the getView.php is called. The call is going fine, the data is read from the database, but the result is displayed on a seperate page and not in the iframe/section where I start the search. Can someone help me find the right lines for it?.

Any help would be highly appreciated
cheers

First: I do not know why your installation crashed on 1.5.8. We have verified it many times without the problems. But sometimes queer things happen...

1.
I do not write here how to uninstall Jumi correctly. But only crashed uninstallation.
Suppose you have manually removed from your server all directories with Jumi plugin, module, component.
You have to manually alter your Joomla! database too:
a) the whole table jos_jumi
b) record jumi in three tables: jos_components, jos_plugins, jos_modules

2.
The way is. We, developers, do not provide it and support it. Because not all features of module and plugin will be available without the Jumi component.
But if you need it despite this warning do this:
The plugin:
a) extract from distribution package directory admin/plugin
b) pack it into zip
c) install it
The same applies for the module: admin/module
Separate component installation can be done too, but it requires much more steps. Better to install the whole package and them uninstall plugin and module.

[MarHaj]

Can someone help me find the right lines for it?.

Enya,
I will try. Will you give me some time for it? To tell the truth I have something else to do on my table now. Let's say twelve hours?

[Critical Dennis]

Thank you for the quick reply. How do I carry out steps 1 a+b?
1a: Should I remove the table completely?
1b: not sure what to do here...

About my second question: Ok, I tink I'll install the full package instead. Seems a lot simpler.

Thanks!

Enya

The problem is here:

Code: Select all

<form action="[b]plugins/content/jumi/simpos/getView.php[/b]" method="post">

You have to call full page containing your getview.php as a part. You are calling a file. Full page in Joomla means its identification by its URL.
If you wish to process script within the same page you will get so called a "self calling form" (see e.g. this tutorial). You will have some problems with Joomla cache in that case. Either overcome it (somehow: switching it of, or using javascript (AJAX) technologies) or handle two pages: one for the input the second for the ouput). Elegant solution is using some kind of lightbox (floating window) for the output.

Hope this gives you some idea how to continue.

[MarHaj]

1a: Should I remove the table completely?
1b: not sure what to do here...

1a: yes, completely

1b: phpMyAdmin approach:
a) open the database
b) find the table jos_modules (or jos_components or jos_plugins)
c) open it
d) find record with title jumi
e) select it (check the square box)
f) delete the record.

Done!

[enyab]

Hope this gives you some idea how to continue.

Dear MarHaj, Many thanks for that tutorial. I just read thru it. I think I will deal with the cache and follow the steps outlined in there. I must appreciate your support. Thanks again.

Thanks for the component. I'm nearly there but I did not understand your tips & tricks about iframes.

I need the following code displayed in an iframe. Tried several things but still ending up with errors. Could you please give me the correct code for displaying this in an iframe. (The code on itself is working. Tested it several times. I left out the iframe tags)

Code: Select all

<?php
$user =& JFactory::getUser(); //gets user object
$server= 'http://www.domain.com/index.php'; 
?>

<form method="post" action="<?php echo $server ?>" id="frmLogin" name="myForm">
<input type=hidden name=login value='true'>
<input type=hidden name="username" value="<?php echo $user->username ?>">
<input type=hidden name="password" value="<?php echo $user->password ?>">
<script type='text/javascript'>document.myForm.submit();</script>
</form>

Here's the last piece to your excellent work. I have a component and requires jumi to work as a plugin. I keep mentionning that my plugin is based on yours, giving you the credit and everything. The only difference from yours is that I am simply including a required file.

So here is my suggestion:

Add a parameter:
Required file: would allow you to include a required file with the full path i guess....

I have another option that i wrote and removed because it got more complicated as i wrote it
The idea was to have several copies of the plugin with different parameters. So to differentiate them the users could change the {jumi...} for {jqcodo...} for example.

Thanks

Well, under src you have to have URL of your code. So you have to save the sript first into a file and upload it to your server.
<iframe src="URL"></iframe>
URL can be of the form http://www.yoursitecom/something/myfile.php or something/myfile.php.

Basdub, thanks!
1. As to the first suggestion "possibility to include files" I do not quite understand it. Because all Jumi extensions do that.
2. Several copies of plugin? jumi, jqcodo, blabla, ...? Well it is possible. It requires to have for each copy its own installation. And the result? More plugins with different names and with the same functionality installed + more memory + more CPU + less speed. I do not think it will be interesting for most users.

[Basdub]

Yes ok i understand your point. I just wanted to avoid to always write to {jumi [requiredfile.php]} and {jumi [myfile.php]}. I would have just added a param to set the [requiredfile.php] to always be loaded before [myfile.php].

Thanks
