Hi!

Brilliant! Thanks a bunch!

Philippe

Awesome, thanks very much. Me happy. ??

The result after two trials is now a balance of 217€ instead of 170.000€ ??
And it starts the right time and finishes the right time.

Thank you Vladimir. Much appreciated!
Looking forward to more updates!

Hi Vladimir.
Yes, this makes absolutely sense, thanks for the clarification!

Hi Vladimir,

thanks for your swift response. Regarding the colour picker… that is interesting news, thanks for letting me know. I did not know that. It’s the first time I’ve seen that tool. ?? Sad if the browser devs can’t get such a feature properly designed. ??

Re currency: I don’t seem to understand the fetching feature then…
I decide the base currency is EUR.
I then decide the second currency is GBP.
For that however, I have to enter the difference to the base currency manually. So I myself had to google exchange rates which was 0.86. I enter this. Only then I can save the additional currency.
After that your tool then fetches the latest rates automatically, based on GBP which then makes 1.16.
What now confuses me, why do I have to enter a rate manually when I create the additional currency, if your tool fetches the latest rates automatically after saving anyway? Obviously the rate I manually entered won’t be correct then with any update that’s been pulled.
This may totally be a “I’m being stupid” situation, sorry if I am wasting your time with this.

Hi,

yes, I do know that it uses the theme of our website, but that’s why I call it a flaw… it shouldn’t be H1, IMHO?! From a designer’s perspective, H1 should be the MAIN headline, the headline that tops all other headlines. Now using your plugin, I really don’t see why a subheadline (as in the listing or other areas) would use H1, it should make sense that H1 should be used for the page’s name (i.e. “our vacancies”) and as your plugin then is the sub-content… anything below that H2. If I remember correctly, at that stage I had two h1 on the same page, the page’s name and then your plugin. Highly unlogical to me.

The same with the bold text. I really don’t see why one would write the whole excerpt in bold on a job listing/overview site, for reasons I’ve listed in my previous comment.

Please, don’t get me wrong… I do know how to use CSS, I know how to fix it, that doesn’t mean that I agree on how you’ve done it with your plugin. So this wasn’t a support request. Originally this was a suggestion how to improve your plugin to make it more appealing for others (especially the ones that don’t know how to use CSS) and maybe eventually for us (by at least adding the ‘wants’… the ‘flaws’ would then be worth the effort to fix myself).

If you think my suggestions to improve your plugin (as what I listed under flaws/wants) are not appealling to you or only worth money to either attract (or in my case get rid) of (potential) customers, that’s fair enough.

As originally said, I think the idea and the simplicity of the plugin are great; I just really don’t understand your idea or more importantly the logic of your design. I am not going to install your plugin just to demonstrate that. I am sure you guys can easily figure that out yourselves.

Anyhow, take my feedback or leave it. I actually rarely post feedback but I thought your plugin has great potential and would be worth the effort.

Hi,

I do agree that “wants” could certainly be requested as a paid customization. However we’re a small start-up and simply can’t afford that at the moment.

What I certainly do NOT agree with is the fact that all the “normal” (!!) text is bold and that we need to adjust that in CSS. That makes no sense at all. That’s like creating a document and writing all content bold. Why would you do that? And how do you emphasize on certain parts of the text, if you can’t write anything else bold (and underline looks like a hyperlink, so can’t do that either) because all the text is bold already. For me that’s clearly a design flaw and should be fixed from your side without having to ask everyone who’s downloading your plugin to do it manually in CSS or pay for this change… not to mention that many people using plugins probably don’t know CSS (hence the reason why they use plugins in first place?!).

I do understand that you want to make money, but that’s not the way it should be done. Otherwise you might as well offer your plugin and then say “oh sorry, if you want to actually save any data, you have to request a paid customisation to get a save button in our plugin”. I think personally my approach on being customer friendly is most probably a bit different. And certainly you must agree, if you already have that attitude towards customer, I’d rather look for a different plugin than actually wasting money on a paid customisation for your plugin knowing that you’d probably screw me over again some other time when I think a functionality is not as intended/would make sense – just so you get more money out of me.

Honestly… even trial/donation plugins have a more customer-friendly approach and I’d rather pay for that than using the “free” parts of your plugin. ??

But that’s just my personal opinion.

I’d love to know that as well. Reason is, that if you use Vodaphone in Germany, it adds “Copyright 2007 ?Vodafone D2 GmbH Impressum” to the mail and you can’t filter it with the :start and :end tags, as vodaphone modifies the whole message (I assume it’s MMS) into a HTML file (adding tables and loads of ****). Also it doesn’t come along with the usual signature-indicators like – or — as it’s just being put in a html table.

So it would be nice to add a filter for specific texts (or even swearing words?).

I do have this issue with a complete new install. I have the same blog running on another domain, same provider, same server. I don’T have this issue with other blogs.

So the error message I get right at the very first install screen:

Warning: file_exists() [function.file-exists]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/var/www/vhosts/xxxxxx.xxx/wp-config.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/var/www/vhosts/xxxxxx.xxx/httpdocs:/tmp) in /var/www/vhosts/miguet.info/httpdocs/wp-load.php on line 32

It also won’t let me write the wpconfig. It always says it’s write protected, but it’s not.

No clue what’s wrong, I have 4 blogs running, without an issue, but this one just doesn’t want to get even installed.
