Important news for Upgraders

[malcalevak]

If you recently upgraded to the latest release and found your installation of WordPress stopped working correctly (like I did) you need to be aware of a critical change in the plugin (that I didn’t appear to see being stressed enough here, though maybe I missed it).

The function name suckerfish() has been renamed to pixopoint_menu(). If you had the plugin installed with an older version, you’d still be calling the suckerfish() script (making your page potentially foul up), so make sure to correct that!

@Ryan: I’d recommend one more minor official update where you create a function suckerfish(){pixopoint_menu();} to maintain compatibility.

If I totally missed something, let me know. Otherwise, another great release.

Thanx for the post. I just got done posting my problem that you were talking about.

Users should go to the code they placed to get the menu on the site and change all instances of "suckerfish" to "pixopoint_menu" and that should fix the problem.

Wow.  Thank you.  I did an automatic upgrade, and imagine my horror when my client’s website could not get past the call in the header and wouldn’t render the rest of the page.

I immediately reloaded the previous version of the plug-in and came to the forum to find out what happened.

Thank you very much for your informative post.  It saved my sanity.

Really good idea. Please add the function suckerfish(){pixopoint_menu();}

There is supposed to already be a correction for that in there? That is VERY weird.

Apologies for any problems. I’m working on it right now.

How embarrasing ” title=”Sad” />

Line: 151 in core.php
[code:2ct7r9vk]
// Backwards support for old function
function suckerfish() {pixopoint_menu1();}
[/code:2ct7r9vk]

Should have been:
[code:2ct7r9vk]
// Backwards support for old function
function suckerfish() {pixopoint_menu(1);}
[/code:2ct7r9vk]

I’ll have a new version uploaded within 10 mins.

I’ve uploaded version 1.6.1 which fixes this problem.

I can’t believe this got through. Not good! I’ll try not to do this again. Sorry for any problems it caused anyone.

[imported_Ryan]

The new version is now available … http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/m … .1.6.1.zip

I downloaded it to triple check that it actually works this time when using suckerfish() instead of pixopointmenu(). It seems to be behaving fine.

If any of you have any more problems please don’t hesitate to post your questions. I don’t like issues like this arising at all and I do my best to avoid them.

Silly issue: why not include the suckerfish_(color).png images in the official release? I’m reuploading the same images with the new official release – not a biggie, but…

[imported_Ryan]

Huh? They should already be in there … download to check now.

[imported_Ryan]

Darnit. This problem isn’t my fault at least, SVN failed to update correctly. I’ll upload ANOTHER new version shortly with the images added back in.

[imported_Ryan]

Lack of images bug has now been fixed. Uploading now. I had some troubles last night with the subversion system and I think it got confused and wiped out all the files which weren’t modified, the only ones which weren’t modified were the images, hence the plugin still worked fine.
