[Plugin: WP Changes Tracker] activating the plugin breaks javascript in the backend for me

can you look at your javascript console? The cause might be coming from another javascript file containing errors: that will break all further javascript code down the road.

I found a way to replicate the issue. Please try the new update (1.1.2). It should fix the issue. Please let me know if it fixes it for you.

1.1.2 seems to work just fine.
Thanks!

Same issue here with the most recent plugin version.

The backend “breaks”, menu-items are non-accessable. How to debug? Any other plugins known to be interferring?

Would love to use your plugin…

Open the javascript console, reload the page, let me know if it prints any javascript error message, and what it is.

The following are the two errors it generates, the second one is probably insignificant.

Fehler: TypeError: table.dataTable is not a function
Quelldatei: https://www.er-distanziert-sich.info/wp-content/plugins/wp-changes-tracker/js/datatables.js?ver=3.4.2
Zeile: 26

Fehler: TelemetryStopwatch: key “FX_SESSION_RESTORE_COLLECT_DATA_MS” was already initialized
Quelldatei: resource://gre/modules/TelemetryStopwatch.jsm
Zeile: 53

Looks like you are missing the jquery dataTables.js script.

Just noticed i may have been too hasty in my coding, since i link directly to the plugin’s hosting (https://datatables.net/download/build/jquery.dataTables.min.js) .

i’ll keep a local js in the next version.

So what do I have to change in order to get things up & running? When is the next plugin-release scheduled?

can you do a search in the page html sourcecode for “dataTables” and see if the script is included?

Not included. Add manually via

<script type='text/javascript' src='https://datatables.net/download/build/jquery.dataTables.min.js'></script>

?

Ok, i’ve updated the plugin to 2.0.3 which should fix the problem. Let me know…

No, unfortunately the error remains although the script is implemented locally:

[09:39:36.321] TypeError: table.dataTable is not a function @ https://www.er-distanziert-sich.info/wp-content/plugins/wp-changes-tracker/js/datatables.js?ver=3.4.2:26

The backend menu items (left sidebar) are not ‘hovering’.

Sorry, my bad: The jquery.dataTables.min.js isn’t stored locally.

The only two files I can find are https://www.er-distanziert-sich.info/wp-content/plugins/wp-changes-tracker/js/datatables.js and https://www.er-distanziert-sich.info/wp-content/plugins/wp-changes-tracker/css/jquery.dataTables.css

Yes it is implemented locally: look more closely: the plugin javascript code is inside the datatables.js.

make sure to empty your browser cache. It solved the issue for me.

You’re right, I misjudged because the .js was still present in the cache.

Everything’s working smoothly now, thanks a lot!
