Problem Exporting Plugin

[Quozzo]

I'm hoping that Brian can help with an issue I'm having with my Post Comment plugin when exporting. It seems to think I am exporting an older version. 

It all works fine on the board I created it on, but when I export it and import it to another board is when it shows as an older version. Some of the UI is missing, some default values are missing and the JS component is missing my updated code.

I think this was happening to my Thread Icons plugin too, as there were similar issues of default values not being present.

Any help would be appreciated, it need not come from an admin

Hi, Quozzo.

What forum are you exporting it from?

quozzo.boards.net/

There's one forum that's accessible to guests.

Forgot to say: The plugin itself should be a Beta version (in the settings) and there should be an "Input field" or "Button" option within the Settings tab of the plugin, which were not showing after I exported it.

I went ahead and exported a build-enabled copy to my own forum and compared the source code of both copies on Text Compare. Both appear to be completely identical. All of the contents of the User Interface tab and their default values are intact as well.

Does the same thing happen in incognito mode? You might just be getting a cached version of the plugin download.

I tried it with my works computer, in incognito mode, and it was working. The upload size was different when importing in so that was the first indication. 

I've had a few issues using PB on my home computer so when I get back I will take another look, and try it again in incognito mode.

Thanks.

Edit: Why would the cached version be affecting the exporting? I would imagine it pulls it strait from the server.

You might also want to make sure you're not actually mistakenly importing an older saved copy you have on your computer.

Lol. no, i'm not doing that rookie mistake.

Not sure what the issue was tbh, but it's not occurring again. 

Thanks for the help.
