CIA Fonts Plug-in does not work

[livelife]

Hi

I use soholaunch v4.9 r21 and my other plug-ins work OK.

When I installed CIA Fonts I could "run" the program and
select additional fonts but when I went to Text Editor
none of the menu items in the text editor are visible.
I tried several times to install/uninstall. Same problem every time.
I noticed that even when I only installed the plug-in (but didn't actually add
any fonts) it made all menu items in my text editor disappear. :(

When I unstistalled the CIA Fonts, the text editor is back to normal.

Thanks
Barbara

Barbara-

I just did a complete uninstall/reinstall of this plugin, including wiping out the table. It's working for me, but I'll research this with Soho to see what's going on and get back to you. Has anyone else had any success with this plugin?

Barbara-

I've found that a lot of problems with plugins tend to relate to permission settings. With the CIA_font plugin, it needs access to include:

/sohoadmin/program/includes/config.php and
/sohoadmin/program/includes/db_connect.php

check the permissions of these files as well as the includes folder. My permissions on this folder is 755 and the permissions on the above 2 files are 777.

The reason the editor is going blank is it's unable to make the mysql connection, and these 2 files are critical to allow that.

It really is a great plugin. Let me know how you make out.

Thanks Tom
How do I check the permissions of these files?

Barbara-

You either have to look at them through cPanelX file manager section or ftp into your site. If you need more assistance, I could help you, or you could open a support ticket with Soho.

Let me know.

UPDATE: I've sent Tom the fix for this problem, so assuming all goes well on his end, this issue should be resolved as of whenever Tom makes/uploads his next CIA Fonts .zip file.

In case it helps anybody in the future --- just had to make a couple relative include paths a more accurrate.

Specifically, just changed these lines (that were inserted into the config_toolbar.php files)...
include("../../../includes/config.php");
include("../../../includes/db_connect.php");

To this..
include("../../../../includes/config.php");
include("../../../../includes/db_connect.php");

Thanks, Mike-

I've included your changes and updated the plugin (v1.1) at http://addons.soholaunch.com. If you have php4 and the plugin is working, no update is necessary.

Thank you

PS The CIA Fonts design by Tom is a great plug-in. I recommend it to
everyone who wants to make their website look more interesting.
Now the plug-in WORKS!!!
