There isn't Print section in admin console

Hi @Intelligent2013,

I can't reproduce your issue.

I'm thinking about the permission issue. Can you please download the plugin from https://wordpress.org/plugins/eight-day-week-print-workflow/ and install it manually to see if it fixes your issue?

If the method above doesn't work, can you try setting WP_DEBUG to true and reactivate the plugin to get more clues about what is happening?

Hi @dinhtungdu thank you for your quick answer.

I've downloaded eight-day-week-print-workflow.1.1.2.zip and installed it via 'Upload plugin', and activated - no success, again there isn't 'Print' section.

If the method above doesn't work, can you try setting WP_DEBUG to true and reactivate the plugin to get more clues about what is happening?

In wp-config.php I've set:

define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );

and repeated all steps for reactivate the plugin. No errors or messages. Then deleted it and installed again - no errors or messages.

May be there is some non compatibility between my PHP version 7.3.27 and plugin requirements? What is PHP version do you installed?

@Intelligent2013 I'm using PHP 7.3.11 for my localhost and EDW works as expected for me.

I've installed AMPPS package - the same issue.

But looks like I've found an issue in the code.
In the file wp-content\plugins\eight-day-week-print-workflow\eight-day-week.php there is code:

function edw_bootstrap() {

	$map = edw_build_namespace_map();

	if ( ! $map ) {
		return;
	}

	$core_file = EDW_INC . 'functions/core.php';

	if( ! isset( $map[ $core_file ] ) ) {
		return;
	}

In my environment (Windows 7 64-bit) $map contains this data:

{ 
["D:\Ampps\www\testsite\wp-content\plugins\eight-day-week-print-workflow/includes/functions\admin-menu-page.php"]=> string(31) "\Eight_Day_Week\Admin_Menu_Page" 
["D:\Ampps\www\testsite\wp-content\plugins\eight-day-week-print-workflow/includes/functions\articles.php"]=> string(24) "\Eight_Day_Week\Articles" 
["D:\Ampps\www\testsite\wp-content\plugins\eight-day-week-print-workflow/includes/functions\core.php"]=> string(20) "\Eight_Day_Week\Core"

["D:\Ampps\www\testsite\wp-content\plugins\eight-day-week-print-workflow/includes/functions\print-issue.php"]=> string(27) "\Eight_Day_Week\Print_Issue" 
["D:\Ampps\www\testsite\wp-content\plugins\eight-day-week-print-workflow/includes/functions\sections.php"]=> string(24) "\Eight_Day_Week\Sections" 
["D:\Ampps\www\testsite\wp-content\plugins\eight-day-week-print-workflow/includes/functions\taxonomies.php"]=> string(26) "\Eight_Day_Week\Taxonomies" 
["D:\Ampps\www\testsite\wp-content\plugins\eight-day-week-print-workflow/includes/functions\user-roles.php"]=> string(26) "\Eight_Day_Week\User_Roles" 
}

Please note, it contains functions\core.php, but not functions/core.php (as defined the line $core_file = EDW_INC . 'functions/core.php';), therefore function edw_bootstrap() returns none;

I've changed to $core_file = EDW_INC . 'functions\core.php'; and now I see Print section at the left pane. But I didn't try any functions yet and don't sure that are working well. May be I have to change something in another places of code.

Hi @Intelligent2013, can you please test this branch to check if it fixes your issue? https://github.com/10up/eight-day-week/tree/fix/windows-loading-issue

[Intelligent2013]

Hi @dinhtungdu,
no, unfortunately.
The reason:

$core_file = D:\xampp\htdocs\testsite\wp-content\plugins\eight-day-week-print-workflow/includes/functions/core.php`

$map = 
... 
[D:/xampp/htdocs/testsite/wp-content/plugins/eight-day-week-print-workflow/includes/functions/core.php] => \Eight_Day_Week\Core
...

Therefore,

$core_file = EDW_INC . 'functions/core.php';

should be replaced by:

$core_file = str_replace( "\\", "/", EDW_INC . 'functions/core.php' );

also.

After that I see 'Print' section at left pane, but looks like some functions still unavailable. Especially, I can't find how to export as xml to InDesign feature:

[samthinkbox]

Actually wrong way round for / and \ in str_replace for core.php

$core_file = EDW_INC . 'functions/core.php';
should be replaced by:
$core_file = str_replace( "/", "\", EDW_INC . 'functions/core.php' );

this gets the core loaded but also required is a change on ~ line 142 to get the subdirectory / str_replace correct to gather the plugin file namespaces

$sub_directory = str_replace( $dir . '/', '', $path );
should be replaced by:
$sub_directory = str_replace( $dir . '\', '', $path );

[Intelligent2013]

@samthinkbox
In this case I get:

$core_file=D:\xampp\htdocs\testsite\wp-content\plugins\eight-day-week-print-workflow\includes\functions\core.php
$map = 
...
[D:\xampp\htdocs\testsite\wp-content\plugins\eight-day-week-print-workflow/includes/functions\core.php] => \Eight_Day_Week\Core
...

This variant is working for me (Windows)
change from:

define( 'EDW_PATH',    dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/' );
define( 'EDW_INC',     EDW_PATH . 'includes/' );

to:

define( 'EDW_PATH',    dirname( __FILE__ ) . '\\' );
define( 'EDW_INC',     EDW_PATH . 'includes\\' );

from:

$core_file = EDW_INC . 'functions/core.php';

to

$core_file = str_replace( "/", "\\", EDW_INC . 'functions/core.php' );

from:

$sub_directory = str_replace( $dir . '/', '', $path );

to:

$sub_directory = str_replace( $dir . '\\', '', $path );

but I didn't test it on *nix platforms.

I think I had a similar issue: EDW wasn't working on my windows system. I fixed it in my fork here: mnelson4@bafe75a

[dinhtungdu]

Hi @mnelson4, it's a great fix! Do you mind creating a PR to fix this issue?

[mnelson4]

Sure #73
