How to use processext module?

Emoncms
1

I want to use one of the input filters in GitHub - emoncms/processext: Additional emoncms input processors . I followed the installation instructions but don’t see any change to the list of available processes in the process list setup. Am I missing something?

After some investigation I’ve discovered that the module was adding the processes but they were being filtered out in the frontend. Adding ‘input_context’ => true in the process_list array seems to have fixed. I think this is because the format for processes has been updated. It looks like there’s an attempt at backwards compatibility but it doesn’t seem to work in this case?

Unfortunately although I can now add the processes they don’t work because the $this→feed property is no longer set. Not sure how I should update the function?

I’ve now got this working. This required the following changes:

  1. Add ”input_context”=>true in process_list
  2. Take a copy of $parent in __construct (as in eventp_processlist.php)
  3. Use this to access feed and change insert_data to post

Hi, nice troubleshoot.
Could you push a fix to github repo so the module is updated for everyone?

Yes, can do. I only fixed and tested the input processor I wanted to use, though, so will need to look at the others.
