Fatal Error: "ActivityModel" object does not have a "xDefineType" method

This discussion is related to the Downloads for Vanilla Forum addon.

The addon could not be enabled because it generated a fatal error: The "ActivityModel" object does not have a "xDefineType" method.|ActivityModel|xDefineType|

Hi I'm getting this error whenever using the version from this download and the most recent GitHub version.

Take care, Nuno

I noticed that plugins that are written for V 2.1, that are used in vanilla 2.0.18 often get an error like this?

@pdoley What version of vanilla are you using?

@Shadowdare - any chance of making this plugin work with 2.0.18?

Shadowdare

It might be able to be fixed if we extend the ActivityModel with our own DefineType method, but 2.1 should be coming out next month.

NOW, it's 2013. HOW long it takes? Where's this plugin, for gods sake!?

Read the pluign page, this is an alpha release, not to be used in production. Whenever he pleases, if he pleases.

Obviously, you are unhappy with the author of this plugin.

I suggest you demand a full refund.

I apologize that this plugin is taking so long. I've just been so busy. It's just a side project, though. The more interesting question is: when is 2.1 going to be officially released?

Sometime before 2015 so go ahead and update your plugin , there is time !!

When I was talking about 2.1, I was referring to the next Vanilla update. The code is open source, so anyone can build upon the code if someone needs a downloads app as soon as possible.

I've made some more progress recently such as creating download categories from the dashboard with the Downloads application, but I've run into a bug that I need help debugging regarding the upload form not returning any data after submission. I'm typing this message from my mobile device, so if anyone has time to take a look, please reply here and I'll send some details over.
