Framework Store Free Products

[Rob 547]

Hello,

 

Many are asking for access to the Framework Store products that were free and cannot be downloaded.  Here's your solution.

 

Login to http://pagelines.com/launchpad

 

Then go to https://www.dropbox.com/s/muyy8k5xcjvbvlo/Framework-included-content.zip

 

You can then download the zip files for each of the free products. You can install them manually, in the folders where they belong.

 

Do this via FTP, as some WordPress upload methods will not install these products in the correct locations.

 

These ARE NOT for DMS.  If you try to use them in DMS and they break your site, well, you didn't listen and won't be supported. We can't fix stupid decisions. Please, don't ask why; don't complain, and don't yell at me. You'll only get me upset and I can be mean (I'm told). :D

 

Thank you Simon, for one brilliant job, and for the tireless job you're doing to get things back on track.

 

If you would like PLUS extensions (and previously had a PLUS subscription) please contact the desk on hello @ pagelines.com and we will provide these for you.

Hi Rob

This resolve all the problems now. 

Awesome ! 

:goodjob:

This is a temporal solution for the free pluging thank you, but the one I need is the twinshoot I am making a new website using framework. I have my business account so we use to have access for this section. How can I get twinwshoot now?

[Rob 547]

I believe Twinshot is experiencing some technical issues with WP 3.6, so it's possible that's not a good thing right this moment anyway.

HALLELUJAH. My project's back on schedule. Thanks!

Patience pays!

Any idea when we might be able to access the framework store via Dashboard again?

[Erwan 37]

Hallelujah + 1 :) !

Just discoverered this topic after struggling with the issue and checking all PL blog posts + my "hello@pagelines.com" answers for loooooong days.

Unfortunately, "Plus" sections such as StarBars still missing for those I did'nt save locally...: I'll be patient ;)

What does 'TBD' stand for?

Hi @batman,

Thanks: I discovered this link a few minutes ago too... ;) I had never been informed of its existence before (no announcement anywhere, as far as I'm aware): since when is it on line?

I'm not sure it's supposed to answer to my "Plus section/extension" question though.

Btw, Hallelujah + 1000, I'm "Successfully logged in as "erwanlescop" to PageLines with a secured connection - Active Plus account." within Framework dahsboard since one hour too!

Just don't know if Plus Live Chat is supposed to be "moderated" again.

Anyway, great news, champagne  :thumbsu: !

Will the store issue not be resolved in time and if so how long will it be....or is going this alternate route the only solution that is going to be presented for the store issue...?????

 

Going the ftp route....I have done a few things this way...but always with direction...

 

Here's hoping the issue will be  taken care of....

I got an support ticket response from Rob re: the Live Chat that said: Live Chat, as far as I know, will not be moderated anymore.  It is impossible to support multiple dialogues simultaneously for different products.  I'm sure you understand.

 

I'm appreciative how disruptive the site hack on launch was and greatly appreciate all the info here. But I'm wondering about some of the losses to those of us staying with the framework instead of DMS.As someone else asked, I'd like to know if we will be regaining access via our dashboard or if this FTP approach will stand. If the later, maybe I suggest that someone compile all the zips into one big zip. It's a PITA to have to right-click and save so many unique files.

[Rob 547]

You're free to download them, or save them.  I cannot say how the future of implementation of legacy products will go.

 

I can say that there are no more Framework store products in our store. The store will now be exclusively DMS.

 

And please, everyone, lets not make this a chronic complaint festival.  Forgive me, but I'm getting tired of the complaints.  I can't and don't set policy, and I didn't hack the site. I don't write the code and I don't build programs.  Complaining is just wasting everyone's time.  Things are what they are. A week ago, there were no solutions in sight. Now, at least I've made sure there's some relief.   So for the sake of my sanity, and the last three remaining hairs on my head, let's can the complaining and move forward. 

 

Let me point out, I'm keeping my sites on Framework too, for a while. So yes, I'm also in the same boat about Framework plugins, sections, etc.

 

Thanks all!

[sheilahoff+ 64]

Sorry Rob...didn't mean to sound like a complainer. I just wanted to know where I stood. So it sounds like if we stay with the framework it's now legacy and there will be no more things added (ie: benefit of the Plus membership). So unless I want to switch to DMS which I'm not yet sure about, I can save money dropping my Plus membership. I'm so new to PL (still completing my first 2 legacy sites) you'd think it'd make sense to just switch now to DMS but so far it hasn't spoken to me. I'll give it another try.

 

I just downloaded all those zip files. But as pointed out above there are several that were part of Plus that are not there. I do hope we will regain access. Since the store is now only DMS how would we get any addtional after-market plug-ins or sections? Can we get them directly from the developers? I know you don't want complaints, I am only trying to understand. We've been told legacy will continue to be supported. But if we cannot add any PL plug-ins or sections it'll kill off legacy pretty quickly. Maybe that's the intent? Will any of the stuff in the store work with the old framework at all?

 

FYI here are just a few missing PL tools that were free w/ Plus:
* rapid tabs
* profiles
* pricing
* reader

 

@aerta TBD means To Be Determined.

[Rob 547]

I wasn't addressing that specifically to you.  But for anyone who reads your post moving forward.   I understand Framework Plus is being phased out in favor of DMS subscriptions.  No more extensions (no one is creating code for Framework now), and your Plus subscription will end very soon.

 

My suggestion... test DMS before a full rollout for a client.  Convert your own site, then start helping clients with it. Sheila, read the docs, and test it out. It won't speak to you. It will be singing Tosca at you from LaScala, serenading you with sonnets and whispering sweet thoughts in your ear.  Very soon, you'll love it.

OK - as it seems possible now that access to my account through the Pagelines dashboard might never be restored - can I ask for some info on plugins and sections? I've downloaded all my paid-for plugins and sections, and the free ones I regularly use, so that I can install them either manually through WP or via FTP.

 

But how do I install the SECTIONS? Never quite understood the difference between sections and plugins anyway. What's the procedure?

 

Thanks

Hi Rob ,

 

What about the monthly store products that plus members got for free every month like hooker?

 

Thanks

Is access to the store via the dashboard EVER returning for Framework.  I don't have  ftp access to a site I'm helping out with so I need to use the dashboard or consider a different theme.  Thanks!

[Rob 547]

Unfortunately, the powers that be have opted to discontinue the store for Framework. No products will be for sale for Framework via the Store (website) or via the Dashboard. 

 

Without FTP access, I'd suggest looking for some internal file management tool.  Usually, hosts that deny FTP offer an online file manager because everyone's going to have to upload something, sometime.  So there must be a way to get files managed and put in place.

[invisioning 3]

In order for the "free" sections to work, the Sections plugin must be installed.

To do this through the store front we get a fatal error message.

Upload the sections plugin where?  Put it in the sections folder however; it's not recognizing it as being there.

Upload from the store front and it doesn't think it's a valid plugin.

A little help please to those of us who have been sidelined with DMS.

[invisioning 3]

Fixed it.  Very involved and not documented.

Reply to this topic if you would like the instructions.

I might be the only one with this issues, I don't know

[beardedavenger 158]

Nooooooo. 

 

DELETE the pagelines-sections plugin. It causes nothing but issues on DMS included making styles not load. This is not to be used on DMS.

[Danny+ 1,327]

Ah, Thanks Nick. This was my bad, assumed users would disable this plugin, as all sections are now plugins to a degree. I will add these instructions to our upgrading/migrating docs.

Ok I can't even get to this address...

This is prety bad guys i've been waiting patiently but all im seeing is enouragement to move to DMS and minimal fixes to the framework system. I know you don't want complainers and there is nothing you personally can do but as a company I feel Pagelines has really let us down. This has been going on for weeks now and a resolution to the store is still "To Be Determined". Yes you got hacked, have you heard of DRP?

 

I will be moving forward.... to a different framework.
