Hi there,

Are there any samples/demos of Courseware? I’d love to see what it looks like.

Hi Nicolas,

Zotero is an add-on for the Firefox browser.

The plugins we develop at ScholarPress are for WordPress, an open source blogging system that you install on a server. The plugins we develop aren’t browser add-ons.

To use our plugins, you’ll first need to download and install WordPress on your server, then FTP our plugins into your WordPress install’s wp-content/plugins directory and activate from the admin panel.

You can learn more about setting up and using WordPress in their Codex, especially the section “Getting Started with WordPress”

Hope this helps!

Hello there,

thank you for the development of this software and your hard work.

I have just downloaded this plug in, but unlike ZOTERO it does not plug itself in. It remains a dowload with a strange icon I have never seen and when I double click on it the folder containing the files open but then there is no exe. file, which is the only thing I know to install software.

Could you please help? I am using firefox and Windows XP.

Thanks a lot
Nic

any working samples of wpbook?

Hi Mark,

You’re right, the plugin is broken as of now – whoops. Beyond the naming issue of functions, which is a quick and easy fix, one of the recent versions of WordPress updated exactly how page layouts were stored in the database, which is causing the wpbook page to load as a normal page, and not using the blog template that’s included within the plugin (which will be embedded into Facebook).

Long story short, I’m on top of this.

Hi David, I deactivated all my plugins, and then WPBook installed just fine. Now, I’ve got another problem. Whenever I try to go to my wpbook page (http://www.samplereality.com/gmu/spring2008/353-002/wpbook/
two things happen:

(1) the page is blank and it doesn’t bounce me back to Facebook; and

(2) Wordpress sometimes, but not always, generates a wpbook page, which then shows up under my Manage Pages control panel in WordPress. The sole content of this page is the word “wpbook.”

Curiouser and curiouser…

Hi Mark, what plugins (other than courseware) do you currently have activated? I wonder if it’s b/c one of the class names in WPBook is replicated in another plugin – I’ll need to append a prefix to those in WPBook.

Otherwise, you have the right version of PHP and an up to date version of WP.

I’m looking forward to getting wpbook working with Facebook, but I’m getting a “Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error” whenever I try to activate wpbook. I’ve never had this problem with any other Wordpress plugin (including ScholarPress Courseware, which installed successfully). I’m running Wordpress 2.3.2 and php 5.2.5. Any ideas about what’s causing the error?

I have looked through and it doesn’t exist anywhere. Can I create the file?

Hey Adri, it appears that the schedule table wasn’t created, ‘zadriana_install_1199472904.wp_schedule’

If possible, check to see that it exists – something must have gone wrong when you installed courseware.
