Edit Remember

Uploaded and enabled this on build 20061011 and get these errors on the edit screen:

Notice: Undefined index: edit_remember in /www/username/public_html/system/extensions/ext.edit_remember.php on line 117

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /www/username/public_html/system/extensions/ext.edit_remember.php:117) in /www/username/public_html/system/core/core.functions.php on line 707

Sounds like a good extension idea though! =)

Updated to 1.0.1 to fix that bug. Thanks Lisa.

Now that is pretty darn cool. Thanks, Mark!

What a good chap you are!!!!

This is great! I’ve just tried it out and it works like a dream.

😊

Each writer has his/her own settings?

Or the settings are common for all writers/admins?

Thanks, Mark. It comes in very handy.

If you’re looking for a suggestion for another quick and dirty extension, might I suggest a method to add custom statuses to the drop down list?

I get this error on the edit page (Build: 20061011):

FYI I am also using Filter By Author (v.1.0) and Simplify Edit Table (v.1.0) just in case there might be some kind of conflict.

Definitely a good idea for an extension though.

sigork: It works per session, so when you close your browser window it will go back to the default view.

Sue Crocker: huh, i hadn’t even noticed that wasn’t possible. i’ll have to look into this.

WillB: I think I was starting a session that another extension already started. So I’ve put in a conditional to fix that, please try the new version (1.0.2) at the top of the thread.

Sue Crocker: My additional statuses were showing up in the list in (1.5.1), but only after I chose a weblog? are you talking about having all the statuses show up before a weblog is selected?

Whoa - speedy response! But still getting the error relating to session_start():

Warning: session_start(): open(\xampp\tmp\sess_1973e8bfe252120db9feb3dc81a8ea6e, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in E:\My Projects\Expression Engine\WWW\system\extensions\ext.edit_remember.php on line 113

By the way I just changed my display name to my full name (WillB to Will Bolton) which might be a bit confusing to someone reading this thread.

Will, It seems that the error was a PHP problem on a Windows server, see the following php.net/session_start documentation:

A note on Windows installations with an NTFS file structure: Make sure you give your Internet user account (usually IUSR_MACHINENAME) “Modify” access to the session.save_path directory. Otherwise session_start() will silently - and oh, so slowly - fail. (“Modify” is a Win2k term, but the concept translates to older IIS installs).

Sue: Give the new version a try, I’ve implemented the status switch you asked for, and I think I also do the same for categories?

Problem solved! Yes it was a php problem specifically relating to a server running on Windows. I had to edit my php.ini file from this:

session.save_path = "\xampp\tmp"

To this:

session.save_path = "D:\xampp\tmp"

It now works as expected. Thanks Mark.

great! glad you got it working.

Updated to 1.0.3 and I now get this error:

Notice: Undefined index: status in E:\My Projects\Expression Engine\WWW\system\extensions\ext.edit_remember.php on line 181

Why did I update to 1.0.3 when 1.0.2 was working just fine? Good question. Attempted to roll back to 1.0.2 but it just made things worse.

I don’t get the error when an actual status is selected in the dropdown box, i.e. ‘Open’ or ‘Closed’. The error occurs when dropdown box has either ‘Filter By Status’ or ‘All’ selected.
