Export error with 2 instances of Reduxframework

[trentb2]

First, love Reduxframework.
In a site I am developing we have Reduxframework inlcuded in a plugin for settings and also in a theme for options.
When export options from plugin all works fine. When export options for theme, get this error 'Invalid Secret for options use'. When I remove the lines creating error, the options export but upon viewing json file, it is the options for plugin and not theme.
Do I need to do something different when same site is using Reduxframework more than once in plugins or themes so that the correct export file is created? thanks.

Hmm.
Could you please send us both your plugin and theme so I can easily debug? dovy@reduxframework.com and kevin@reduxframework.com

@kprovance if you want to do this, I think it's an issue with binding to the opt_name. But I'm not sure.

Okay, I looked at your plugin and theme, and I'm sorry to say it's a mess of errors I can't get through. I loaded the theme first, and there are several outstanding PHP warnings that need to be dealt with first. But more importantly, when I activated the plugin? Not only did it change my backend theme colors, but it completely removed the Tools menu. If that's on purpose, you need to not do that. If it's a bug, it needs to be resolved. There was no way for me to access the plugin settings, if there are any at all. The plug in also kicked back several PHP warnings and notices, including this:

The plugin generated 263 characters of unexpected output during activation. If you notice “headers already sent” messages, problems with syndication feeds or other issues, try deactivating or removing this plugin.

Finally, you're using embedded Redux in the plugin AND the theme? Using TGM to install one instance of Redux as a plugin is probably a better way to go. Just a suggestion there.

Bottom line, I cannot debug this issue with the state these projects are in. It's literally impossible until the issues I've listed are resolved.

thanks, yes both are under development but even using the Redux plugin and the code from your generator if someone happens to be using a site that does have Redux in more than one plugin or a plugin and a theme, the export will only work correctly for one instance as the admin ajax script only gets the opt_name of one instance, the opt_name is not passed to the ajax page except encoded as the secret. You can try it with any theme and plugin or two plugins that happen to be using Redux.

Dovy says he knows what's wrong, so I imagine he'll fix it when he get's back.

Hey, sorry for jumping in but i feel i have a similar bug, maybe related to the same problem.
I have developed 2 plugins with embedded Redux (with Builder). When i try to activate them both, the plugin setting page will be replaced by the plugin setting page of the second activated plugin. Both plugins use custom post types, both post types show up properly when both plugins where active. But only one plugin settings page :/

Both Plugins have different opt names of course...
Any advice is appreciated :)

[dovy]

Email them to me and I'll test. dovy@reduxframework.com http://wetransfer.com ;)

@pixelheads & @trentb2 I think I've found the issue and I guess I'll teach you a little about PHP.

First, @pixelheads inside wpdirectorypro.php, change:

include_once(ABSPATH.WPINC.'/rss.php');

to

include_once( ABSPATH . WPINC . '/class-simplepie.php' );

rss.php is deprecated.

Second, your option-init classes need to be different...

In PHP you can't have two classes the same. The reason you didn't realize that was a problem is I have an if statement checking for the existance of the class. Namely:

if (!class_exists('admin_folder_Redux_Framework_config')) {

As the builder does, this class and if statement are changed dynamically. You need to personalize these for each product. Once you do that, everything will work like a dream.

Since this really was an error on both of your sides, I would appreciate if you donated some to the project to pay for the 1.5 hours I spent on this. Heh. If you're so willing.

Wish you both the best.

P.S. Use the builder to alleviate this in the future:

Thank you very much Dovy, I do like Redux very much and am working on the powers that be to purchase an extension or two. I installed the WordPress.org Reduxframework plugin, got rid of my embeded versions of Redux and used build.reduxframework.com to generate admin folders but still having same problem of being able to export options from both products when they both are using Redux.

in options-init.php for plugin:

if (!class_exists('Marathon_Hosting_Redux_Framework_config')) {
class Marathon_Hosting_Redux_Framework_config {

with 'opt_name' => 'site_options',

and when I click export from the plug options page I get this link which works:

wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=redux_download_options&secret=ff7fa6504f2841f42c348c051b7ca126

which equals this below when I comment out the md5 for debugging
wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=redux_download_options&secret=site_options

All works fine and correct json file downloads.

But when I try and export the theme, which is:

if (!class_exists('Whimsical_Elegance_Redux_Framework_config')) {
class Whimsical_Elegance_Redux_Framework_config {

with 'opt_name' => 'whimsical',

when I click export on the theme options page I get the below which does not work.

wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=redux_download_options&secret=f4ab453401f6661e565a5045cfe7d051

which equals this below when I comment out the md5 for debugging
wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=redux_download_options&secret=whimsical

The admin-ajax.php is expecting the secret to be the same as the plugin and not the theme.

Do I need to change the get action 'redux_download_options' to be different for each product? so that Redux checks the correct secret? Thanks again for the help and sorry to be a bother.

[dovy]

Ahh, ok. So there's an issue still with import/export. Then I'll keep looking into that. ;)

[pixelheads]

Hey dovy,

first of all thanks for reviewing!
Please note that those plugins are in very early dev stage.
I know about the deprecated rss.php, since WP tells you in debug mode - similar with php classes ;)

My fault was I thought that "opt name" would be the only keyswitch to unify Redux instances.
Maybe you should add this information to the embed docs (Step 2: Include the framework and/or sample config file) should be a good place. For those who quickly want to dive in without the builder.

First donation is made ;)
Keep up the good work!
