oc-backend-plus's Issues

Hiding wrong icon when used in combination with Static Pages

When using Backend plus and setting it to hide the file manager it hides it correctly but when keeping this setting and then installing the plugin Static Pages it hides that link instead and file manager link reappears next to it.

It uses the wrong css selector to hide the link #layout-mainmenu li:nth-child(3) since its not always the third link.

Assets for subdomain installed system

https://github.com/gergo85/oc-backend-plus/blob/master/partials/_system_sidebar.htm#L31

L31 and L32 libraries include presuming system is installed on domain's home directory. I installed locally October CMS to /october dir for tests and keyboard not working because JS and CSS 404.

Is there any way for making this include depends on "config/app.php >> $url" variable?

Thanks.

Where did the list of objects for removal come from?

Hello!

1. Where did the list of objects for removal ("controllers / Trash.php") come from?
2. Why is the file included in this list? :

   oc-backend-plus/controllers/Trash.php

   Line 139 in 1d3118f

   'modules/backend/assets/vendor/sweet-alert/sweet-alert.html' => [1, 833],

Cache Widget

Clean install, getting the following message when trying to clear cache with the widget

Обработчик AJAX не найден: 'onClearCache'.

In english

AJAX Handler not found for: 'onClearCache'

Menu Background Missing in Settings

With the new updates in OctoberCMS, Backend Plus causes problems.

Please refer to this issue on OctoberCMS where we discuss it:

octobercms/october#2023

Error in Dashboard Widget.

Issue with october 3

Hello,
for everyone getting errors like this after October3 upgrade:

A syntax error was detected in /plugins/indikator/backend/updates/version.yaml. The string "!!! Updated for October 420+." could not be parsed as
  it uses an unsupported built-in tag at line 60 (near "1.6.6: !!! Updated for October 420+.") at line 43 (near "/vendor/october/rain/src/Parse/Yaml
  .php").

A simple fix is to remove the "!!!" at line 60 on the file /plugins/indikator/backend/updates/version.yaml

bug in "unused database settings" !

According to the condition in the line below, the "slick_slider_settings" setting in the database will be deleted, because the files in this plugin are stored in the "/plugins/peterhegman/slickslider/" folder, and not in the "/plugins/slick/slider/" as checked by you.

oc-backend-plus/controllers/Trash.php

Line 39 in 1d3118f

if ($name[0] != 'backend' && $name[0] != 'system' && isset($name[2]) && !File::exists(base_path().'/plugins/'.$name[0].'/'.$name[1]) && Items::where('path', $row->item)->count() == 0) {

Here is the link to the plugin https://octobercms.com/plugin/peterhegman-slickslider (https://github.com/phegman/October-CMS-Slick-Slider)

Still doesn't work with latest October

There are some references to Backend\Models\UserPreferences class in Plugin.php and in partials/_settings_menu_items.htm which are incompatible with latests October release.

Error in event log about gzip

Hello, the OctoberCMS event log gets spammed with this every time someone is accessing backend -

Illuminate\Contracts\Filesystem\FileNotFoundException: File does not exist at path plugins/indikator/backend/assets/gzip.txt in [...]/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Filesystem/Filesystem.php:40

but the file exists, containing single zero character.

Server is Caddy with HHVM in PHP7 mode

Edit: Sorry, this is a dublicate issue.

I think problem here

if ((bool)File::get('plugins/indikator/backend/assets/gzip.txt')) {
            ob_start('ob_gzhandler');
        }

My fix

if ((bool)File::get(base_path('plugins/indikator/backend/assets/gzip.txt'))) {
            ob_start('ob_gzhandler');
        }

Context Menu improvement

The context menu is a really great feature, but it would be even better if it were to include links to other backend routes provided by plugins. Seems to me, looking at the code that make it work, that you could probably scrape the page for the available menu items, rather than just being limited to the handful of hardcoded options.

Prevents october update

Hello. Can you please advise on the issue below. I can't update ocms from 2.1.7 to 2.1.8.
Thank-you.

Problem 1
- Root composer.json requires indikator/backend-plugin ^1.6, found indikator/backend-plugin[v1.6.13] in the lock file but not in remote repositories, make sure you avoid updating this package to keep the one from the lock file.
