Hey,

You are 100% correct: other people might in fact find this helpful.
The reason I suggested looking into your code is because I’m not certain on how many places I had to change it. (also the code is a mess, so I prefer people not going in there :p It might hurt their eyes :p )

If I remember correctly, all I did was change the following file:
<WP site>/wp-content/plugins/dooodl/v2/creator/index.php

on the top of the file it says this:
$saver = WP_PLUGIN_URL.'/'.$file . "save.php";

Right below it I added this:
$saver = str_replace('https://', 'https://', $saver);

This will only work on sites where there is HTTPS only. I will change this soon so this is no longer necessary (i’m swamped with work, so for those of you waiting for the update, please hang in there. A lot of work has already been done on the rewrite but there’s stil a lot of debugging required).

Yes, you are in fact having the same problem as I was.

The problem is that javascript does not allow communication between different protocols (or domains) for security reason.

The fix would be te replace the script urls in Dooodl to refer to the protocol-less url.

Meaning that `https://mysite.com/wp/wp-content/…/saveNew.php’ would be replaced by ‘//mysite.com/wp/wp-content/…/saveNew.php’. That way the browser uses the same protocol to load the file as the protocol used to load the page.

If you could send me some FTP login details, I can go into the WP folder and fix the doodl plugin for you. You can email those credentials to ‘[email protected]’. (Those can be temporary details which can be removed later on).

Hey Jimme,

I had the same problem several weeks ago. It turned out to be a http/https problem. It was fairly easy to fix that. Could you send me the url to your site first?
I’ll look into it and get back to you.

Hey iroller,

Could you confirm this problem on your end?
I just drew this in chrome: https://nocreativity.com/blog-engine/wp-content/uploads/doodls/1861.png

Dooodl – HTML creator
Chrome Version 46.0.2490.86 (64-bit)

Could you maybe share your siteurl or other information that could help me figure out what is going on?

Hi Web2Guru,

Sorry for that insanely late reply of mine.
I’m currently working on a new version of Dooodl. It will also take into account that no more of these conflicts happen anymore.

If you have experience in PHP/WordPress, you can go into the Dooodl plugin and search for all functions that are called ‘redirect’ and rename them to ‘dooodl_redirect’. That should fix the problem for now.

What happened here was that I built this plugin way back in the day when I wasn’t aware of so many thing that I am now. What I did was I wrote this plugin using simple names. Names that anybody could use. The problem with that is that other plugin developers could have done the same thing (which happened in your case). So both him/her and me both defined a function redirect (which might do completely different things) in our own plugins/themes. The problem is that when WP is run, the same function name is used twice to define 2 different functions. That’s causes the error above.

This will soon be fixed with the release of Dooodl 2.0.
Promise!

I have a new client that has been using this plugin for a few years now. Recently he started getting all kinds of messages showing the same problem as mentioned above.

The user can shop just fine. When he proceeds to the checkout counter, he fills in all necessary information. Once everything has been filled in correctly and checked (agreements), the user hits the ‘buy’ button and ends up on the same checkout page. No URL variables attached, no error messages visible.

We’re getting quite a few people having these issues, but we can’t seem to isolate the problem and we cannot reproduce it either.

Are there any pointers you might give us to investigate this? With the xmas period drawing closer, my client is getting anxious to fix this asap as this webshop is their main business.

Thanks for any help you can provide,
Take care,
Ronny

Not as of yet. This has a few implications if this were to be built in, so I’ll have to figure out a few ways to make sure this is a safe thing to do (with regards to backwards compatibility).

What kind of sizes do you guys/girls have in mind?

Hi Web2Guru,

Thanks for pointing that out.
Could you post the full error-message?

I’m currently working on an entirely new version (backend-wise). So I’ll take this into account as well.

Hey,

The plugin isn’t really in BETA. I added the BETA tag in the latest update as there was a bit of an experimental update added to it. However, it proved to be quite reliable and will be applied as full-on feature in the next major release of the plugin which will be out shortly (end of july 2014).

I hope that helps you,
Take care.

Thank you! ??

Hey Klaus,

I took a quick look and I think I figured out what’s going on.
I’m currently in the middle of a rebuild of the entire plugin. If you can hang in there for a few more days, I’ll have the update out there and that should fix it.

Let me know if that’s something you can live with.
If you need this to work asap, shoot me an email to [email protected] so we can fix this temporarily until the update hits the cloud ??

Hey,

Sad to hear the plugin isn’t working correctly for you.
Could you post the URL where this occurs so I can take a look at it?
i’m sure we can fix this ??

Let me know,
Take care,
Ronny

Hey Brandon,

Yes, your colleague helped me out brilliantly! Everything is sorted out. Thanks for checking in!

Take care

Late to the party, but here I am!
Sorry for the late reply! I really think wordpress should send the Plugin authors emails when new problems are posted here…

Anyway: I was a bit stumped by your problem until I figured out your server/host doesn’t use ‘index.php’ by default.

https://www.communicatingchronicpain.org/wp-content/plugins/dooodl/v2/creator/index.php

If you go there, you can see the plugin is right there and working fine.

So how can you make the links in the widget work?
1. Go here: https://www.communicatingchronicpain.org/wp-admin/admin.php?page=dooodl_settings
2. Go to the bottom box where the widget template is saved.
3. Add ‘index.php’ after every ‘%CREATOR_URL%’ and ‘%GALLERY_URL%’ occurrence.
4. Save this.

The widget will show now the proper link to both the viewer and the creator.

I will hardcode the index.php in a future release to prevent this from happening again (you will need to remove the index.php reference at that point, but I’ll make sure to add this reminder in the release notes)

Good luck and enjoy the drawing!

You’ll find the explanation in the FAQ ??

I’ll add a ‘help’ page soon in the plugin to explain stuff like that ??
