In reply to: [Participants Database] Extensive Issues with existing pluginThe problem then is that I don’t know how to get the css implemented to make it look right, whenever I do a fresh install of the plugin. I’m assuming it’s called through the PHP, but I’m not sure how to format the columns and all of that by hand. Any tips for that, or references? It’s not quite as simple as html/css considering it’s pulling different columns and what not and placing them in different areas.

In reply to: [Participants Database] Extensive Issues with existing pluginAt some point, if I start replacing files that I think are related, it fails to call the list. I pulled more, and it stops throwing the failed command to pull the list, but just displays a blankish page.
He routed some special calls through javascript and PHP that I can’t identify to format this stuff. If I rip apart his .css files and try and put them into the custom form to “recreate” it myself, it doesn’t do anything when it goes to print it. It still just prints it in a row/column form. I’m kind of stuck at an impasse here.

In reply to: [Participants Database] Extensive Issues with existing pluginHey Xnau,
Thank you for the insight. From the looks of it he didn’t use the PDb-custom.css file to delegate how the list looks when it is drawn.
Instead, in the root Participants Database folder, there are 4 individual CSS files.
participants-db.css
PDb-admin.css
pdb-list.css
PDb-record.cssMy assumption is the PDb-admin.css is what ruined the management interface, so I excluded that. Copied over the participants-db.css, pdb-list.css (which I know is where it calls the formatting from by viewing source), and PDb-record.css.
The plugin doesn’t naturally call those files to do the formatting though. He’s calling them from somewhere else. Is there a way in the plugin to point it at those files for the formatting? Or might I pull the pdb-list.css code and put it into the proper one to get it to work? What would you think is the easiest way to execute this task while keeping it as close to stock as possible?
Thank you and happy new years!

In reply to: [Participants Database] Extensive Issues with existing pluginHey Xnau,
One final question for you. With the admin interface being messed up in the old plugin, I can’t copy the custom CSS for the printing layout. I restored the site and pulled FTP backups of all of the old plugin stuff. Then reinstalled the new working version. Where in those files by hand, would I find the custom .CSS file that is required to format the “print members” function when you search? What would be the easiest way to implement this into the new version of the plugin to fix the way it prints?
Right now it’s just left to right columns that run off the page. Before the .css had it set into nice little 2×5 boxes with clean formatting. Am I on the right track for the easiest way to re-implement that? Or should I go about it differently?
Thank you again,

In reply to: [Participants Database] Extensive Issues with existing pluginWell, after several more hours of diving and breaking the database I have determined multiple things.
1) The plugin was broken, reinstalling it fixed, but I have to try and manually code in the CSS for how the list displays.
2) MyPHPAdmin was broken. Ended up having to reinstall it per hosts recommendation, but this was after dabbling in the only thing that did work, MYSQLMANAGER, and accidently dropping one of the display tables. oops. (they are going to restore the DB to resolve that).
3) The last names are literally gone. Now that I can see everything in myphpadmin, I can view all the columns, and last name is literally empty. Checking all other columns, none of them contain the last name but are named wrong, or anything of the sort….. I have no clue how an entire column can just be deleted abruptly without anyone doing it.Thanks,

In reply to: [Participants Database] Extensive Issues with existing pluginUgh,
I rolled it back to try and use the manual URL’s to get to the settings pages in order to copy the custom CSS which formats the results page. Unfortunately, it throws up access errors, “you are unable to access this page”. I’d prefer to not mess up the formatting she’s had on the site, it’s clean, when it works. Suggestions for this as well?
Thank you for all of your assistance.

In reply to: [Participants Database] Extensive Issues with existing pluginExporting the .csv of the current database shows the same thing. All last names are blank, with the exception of my test one that was just added.

In reply to: [Participants Database] Extensive Issues with existing pluginHey Xnau,
Thank you for your input. I’m back from the Bahamas and got to go through it today. Clearing the plugin and reloading it fixed the “blank control pages” issue that I was having. I can finally see the column settings and everything. I lost all of the custom formatting he did to make the columns and everything fit on the webpage, but that’s something I can figure out later.
However, last names are still missing for ALL records. Except, I just added a new member, with a new last name, and it shows up properly. It’s almost as if the DB column which held all of the last names was changed? So say it called columns 1-9 for all of the info, it’s like another column which was empty was inserted between 1-2, so that last names read off of 2 now, which is effectively blank. Any suggestions for that?
Thanks,
ChrisIf you head to the page and search for members, you’ll see what I mean. You’ll only see one “last name” pop up, and that’s Graham, Test that I just added in the fresh plugin.
