CSS Editor and Omeka S 4.1.1

Is there an update or replacement for the CSS Editor? We have 4.1.1 and its not working (Error: CSSEditor requires Omeka S 4.0.0).

Is there something else that will work? We are self hosted.

What exact versions of both the Omeka S core and the CSS Editor module are you using?

The current version of CSS Editor supports all 3.x and 4.x versions of Omeka S.

Hi @LisaH and @jflatnes ,

I was just doing some testing and I don’t get an error, but the CSS isn’t being loaded on the page from the text box. I can add an external stylesheet though.

I just realized that the CSS is being loaded as a stylesheet rather than on the page as I was expecting. So it is working on the versions below.

I’m using Omeka S 4.1.1 and CSS Editor 1.3.1.

Im using 4.1.1 and CSS Editor 1.3.1

I tried reinstalling it, and now I get this:

I should say, it does seem to be working now, will continue to test!

I get that too - it bugs me I can never update it ā€˜properly’ (i.e. make that message go away).

I think I’ve talked about this elsewhere on the forums, but:

What’s happening with the spurious ā€œA new version of this module is availableā€ message is probably related to some other modules you have installed. In particular, Easy Admin (and some other of Daniel’s modules, depending on their age) adds a separate version check that’s different from the one the Omeka S core does.

This other module version check uses a different source of data for what the ā€œlatestā€ version of a module is, and for CSS Editor specifically, there appears to be some confusion with some older, no longer maintained modules that used the same name. These modules had a higher version number than our CSS Editor module does currently, so when this alternative update checking is used, it always reports a ā€œnew versionā€ for CSS Editor, even though there is none.

Long story short, this is a problem that’s outside of the Omeka team’s control.

That explains these choices in Easy Admin. Thanks.
