[pmwiki-users] config.php problem, not recognizing include? - Testlog

[Patrick Ogay]

 >I have tried this with several other addons all with the same no 
result.  I know I am missing something basic here, any ideas?
* Are the addons called at all? 
** You could use "require"  so that php gives a message, when include is 
not available
** include_once("$FarmD/local/addon.php");  
     to be shure, to call the includes for main path (were pmwiki is 
phyically) you can use  $FarmD/
*sometimes, if an error happens in a addon, it seems, it does nothing

* If you made an upgrate for 1.x to 2.x you have probably upgrade the 
addons .

First I would find out, whether the addons are called at all. 
I havn't found a log feature in pmwiki.
I always use  my
TestLog("Addon xyz  called" ) ;  /* see below */

I place the function in config.php or farmconfig.php
The log I can check from my wikipage, it's quite praktical for testing.
