Is the SJQ UI incompatible with Gemstone

[wayner]

I just upgraded from Diamond to Gemstone and the SJQ UI is not appearing under the settings menu. I went to the Menu Manager and there is nothing there either. I haven't had a chance to reboot Sage yet, but maybe that will help. Everything does appear to be enabled.

Anyone else see this?

Gemstone has ADM built in so you will have to add it to a custom menu, it won't just appear in the menu like Diamond. I haven't tried adding SJQ though...

jorton's correct....we never built a Gemstone specific wiki for the Menu Manager but the Copy Mode feature is very close so take a look at the ADM Wiki Copy Mode here...

But how do I actually add in the command to go to the SJQ UI? I don't see that anywhere under Actions. FYI - tmiranda wrote that UI.

How do you do it in the default UI?

Copy mode basically disables the custom menus and lets you copy a menu item that another plugin may have added.

In the default UI and in Diamond you just installed the plugin and an entry entitled Sage Job Queue (SJQ) appears at the bottoms of the Setup menu. I disabled Gemstone on a Placeshifter client to make sure that it still appears. I then click the Gemstone - Load Gemstone UI from the default UI and that menu item no longer exists,

That is expected because Gemstone uses a "look a like" menu to the default but it still is a custom menu.

You need to go into Copy Mode as I described and the wiki shows and then on the main menu you go to that meni item and select it which will try to create a copy and ask you where you want the copied menu item....it is no gaurentee as not all menu items can be copied but it should be shown in copy mode.


Have you tried copy mode and you still don't see the menu item?

OK, I got it now. It just took a few tries to master. I think you have to get the focus on the menu item that you want to copy and press <right> to have the menu expand and then you copy it. This wasn't clear to me from the wiki.

@jorton - Help! I can't figure out how to get the SJQ entry on my setup screen. What is the Gemstone equivalent of the ADM Copy mode? I can find those directions but I can't figure out how you use them in Gemstone. Do I have to install ADM to do this or is it available through Gemstone?

Its in gemstone. Go to options on the main menu then menu manager then options and select copy mode from there.

Got it - I didn't know there was an Options menu from within Menu Manager.
