Hello c: I was curious is there a way to remove this;



I tried searching through the thread but didn't really find an answer unless I overlooked it sorry.

Based on my tests the Monetary System plugin is adding that information to the mini-profile.

I suggest going into Plugins > Manage in your admin area and reordering the plugins so that the NPC Profiles plugin comes after the Monetary System plugin. That way the Monetary System plugin will add its information to your mini-profile instead of the NPC mini-profile it's being replaced with since the NPC mini-profile won't exist on the page yet at the time that information is being added.

Hi,

Recently all of the members on my site, legomessage.boards.net, lost access to their NPC profiles because the sword icon that is usually used to enable them has disappeared. Do you know why this is?

Thank you!

Hey all! Came here to say the same thing. Do let me know if there is any way to fix it. My members and I love this plugin, so thank you all for your work on it.

Same problem here. It didn't disappear completely, just moved to the right bottom of the page which is very inconvenient.

I'm seeing it on all three of your forums at the moment. I know there were some issues on Saturday that may have affected its display but those were resolved shortly after they occurred. Is this still an issue for any of you?

I didn't actually know that you could access the NPC profiles at the bottom right of the screen until yesterday, when one of my members pointed it out to me. Thankfully that works well, but what's missing for us is the sword icon at the end of a post. Without it, if we make a mistake with our NPC profiles, we can't change it.



Strangely enough, I just found out that some topics have it, and some don't. I was wondering if my blacklisted categories had to do it with it, but removing them didn't change anything.

Thank you for your help!

Thanks, mellotangelo. I dunno why I didn't get as far as investigating the buttons in the posts considering that's likely used way more than the PBN bar button.

I think I know why this is happening. On February 20th there was a code push that fixed how certain plugin data saves when it comes to any checkboxes, dropdowns, etc. plugin authors include in the plugin components. But because it saved a different way when I first created the plugin I always had it check against whether or not your selections for the blacklist settings returned a value at all since no selection returned null. Now that those settings always return an array the plugin always goes into whitelist mode because the array exists and assumes that you can't post in those boards because it's reading the board list in the plugin settings as a whitelist.

I'll try to get an update out today, but for the time being I think changing the dropdown to Whitelist and adding all of the boards users are allowed to apply NPCs in to the whitelist should restore functionality for now.

Tagging sam8432 and Eclipse to review the above as well.

Yup, that did the trick. It's great to have it back! Thank you for your help, and for making the plugin in the first place!

sam8432, mellotangelo, Eclipse:

Version 1.1.4 has now been accepted to the library. This should fix the issue without having to perform the whitelist workaround.

Once you have the latest version installed you can change the dropdown back to Blacklist, remove all the boards from the blacklist, and add in any that are meant to be blacklisted.

Thank you! Just to clarify, if I download this update, it won't reset my settings or get rid of my NPCs, will it?

As long as you still have the previous version installed it should prompt you to import your key data and your plugin settings from the previous version.

Brian thank you for your help!

I would rather much enjoy your plugin, however, I don't have the pleasure of doing so.
The icon and your other method is not seen anywhere. I've tested the usage for a hour
or two, but couldn't seem to have it available. Do you know the reason to why?

[Brian]

Xesna, can you provide the link to the forum you're having this issue on?
