Members onTap Installer - Script-Disabled Installation Fix
Just updated the Members onTap plugin (also uploaded new archives for tapMCE and the Members onTap plugin because I realized the archives I uploaded before were improperly zipped).
There are all manner of things that can go wrong with an installer that's as complex as the Members onTap installer especially when it uses AJAX to break up the request (which was done in an attempt to get past the fact that the ColdFusion administrator settings frequently seem to override the requesttimeout setting with the cfsetting tag, causing long-running requests in the installer to terminate early leaving the installer in an ungainly broken state)... There are just a huge number of things happening when you install the Members onTap plugin, so while I added some support in the latest version for it to use cfthread (which in itself was limited by the fact that most of these things can't be done out of sequence), it still takes a couple minutes to install. (And I've only realized in retrospect that someone who was having problems with it over a year ago was probably being fouled up by his hosting provider limiting requests to 60 seconds. I hate that setting.)
So a while back I decided to redraft the installer to allow you to install it with javascript disabled. Apparently I neglected to test it in my dev environment with script disabled the last time I made changes. So while it worked for me with script enabled it was throwing a rudimentary variable undefined error if you turned it off. So I've just fixed that and committed to SVN and uploaded a new zip (that incidentally will also work with the plugin manager's archive upload utility, since it got zipped correctly this time). :)
