[Plugin] SketchUcation Tools
-
BOOM! Welcome to Plugin Author madness
-
To be able to use do an AutoInstall [and some other operations] you need to have the related methods available in the API.
If there is no 'Install' button in your v8 Preferences > Extensions panel, then you need to update your current v8 [it's available free and it's non-destructive!].
The first two versions of v8 didn't include that feature.
However, SketchUp v8M2 and later have it, the currently available version is the even newer v8M4
Here are all available updated...

I've just replaced SketchUp 8 with SketchUp 2013 (Maker), and of course I downloaded and installed the latest version of SketchUcation Tools. But when I click on the Plugins Manager I get an error, as per the attachment, even after I restart SketchUp subsequent to installation. How do I set the proper permissions?

Go to the Plugins folder, right click on it, choose Properties click on the Security tab and edit the permissions for your login to Allow to provide Full Permissions.

I just checked and it worked fine for me.

The error message you've shown suggests that you probably have some previous version of the Sketchucation Tools installed. -
Ups, I missed this one... Thanks a lot!!

Hi.
Like Zacchia, I got a similar error while attempting to update from the toolbar in my Sketchup session. Evidently, I must remove the current version of the manager before updating? I did not see this as a possible requirement in the instructions. I may have missed it. I assumed it would overwrite.EDIT: After logging out of everything, closing the Sketchup program, and later restarting Sketchup, clicking on the Sketchucation toolbar, it appears that the conditions resolved themselves.
Just wanted to let you know. -

Just wanted to let you know.It should come up with a message when you update itself - to restart SketchUp to complete the changes...
However, that said... there's a new update for this toolset [due soon] and that should resolve this issue anyway... -
@TIG:
Thank you, sir. -
I'm having this issue that when I try to AutoInstall a picked plugin, it shows that it downloads asks for permission to install and nothing further. Anyone else having this issue? It used to work great for me.

Have you checked that 'security permissions' to the Plugins folder are set FULL read/write?
If on MAC ensure the changes apply to all contents too...
You haven't given us your OS/version in your User Profile...
If you don't have proper permissions you should be told when the installer checks, BUT occasionally subtle limitations can affect things had rip up the checker.
If you are on PC check that the Plugins folder does have FULL permissions for all entries listed and that it does not have a 'custom icon' [I know that sounds silly but having one could affect its permissions very slightly, although they'll still report as 'FULL']. Also look in the top-bars of the Plugins folder's Windows Explorer window - is there a 'Compatibility Files...' link/button? - this a sure sign of limited permissions - Windows is installing files in a VirtualStore NOT the Plugins folder, and it's NOT telling you !
These installation issues are almost always down to 'folder permissions'...

Has anyone else noticed that on the website version of the plugin store. Under categories or authors with multiple pages of plugins. TIG for example. The "Next" and "Last" page buttons no longer have any effect. I click on them, the page reloads but the list hasn't changed. I noticed this problem a couple days ago. it remains the same in all the browsers I've tried including Firefox, Chrome, IE, and on my smartphone. and remains after clearing the cache and cookies. I've included a link to a short ScreenCap as an example.

Thank you very much for noticing. Hopefully this bug is corrected now.
Recently we made some SEO work on the pluginstore WEB version, probably the bug was a result of this. Please try it out and let me know if any problem remained or not.
