Display Logs Plugin Stuck In A Loop

[carlwhat]

    use Zencart\FileSystem\FileSystem;

    $test = FileSystem::getInstance()->getPluginAbsoluteDirectory('EZ-Feeds');
    echo "-------->" . $test . "<---------<br>";
    
    $path_info = dirname(__DIR__, 3);

    echo "-------->" . $path_info . "<---------<br>";

    die('<br>' . __FILE__ . ':' . __LINE__); 

i would explore the dirname (as well as pathinfo) functions in php. much more reliable. you might need to append a trailing slash.

i would advise you to use your own version number for your plugin; ie 1.0.0 and update as necessary. 1.5.7c is the zen-cart version, not your plugin version.

Thanks Carl. It looks like you answered about the same time I found that solution.

I think I will keep my version number as is. I have been working on this plugin since 1.3.8a. If I ever submit it for approval, I will rename it if needed.

I ran across your other suggestions about dirname and pathinfo last night while reading other posts about zc_pluggins...very informative and useful.

I actually ended up putting my custom define at the top of my filenames and deleting my init and extra configures files.

I was making things way to difficult because I had not grasped the new directory structure, tools available and because I am not used to working with classes. I was trying to use the DisplayLogs as a boiler plate...mistake on my part. I don't need to use the scripted plugin method at this point. The basic plugin method will probably suit my needs.

I experimented with adding code to the end of the bootstrap file to try and create a defined zc_plugins directory for every plugin...all the required info is available there, why not automate it? I couldn't get the define to pass to any other files. Maybe someone with more expertise can figure it out and have it added in the future.

I have working code now under the zc_plugins structure so I will bury this dead horse for now.

Thanks again, everyone.
