Hi Stuart

As per the reply to your comment, there is a shortcodes folder in versions 3.3 and 3.3.1 (which are the affected versions), I just double-checked the zip archives from toolset.com/account/downloads.

If you have an earlier version you shouldn’t be affected, the issue was introduced with version 3.3

Hmm, here are the versions I am running... and I cant see the option to update 'legacy' views in the updater any longer ...

and this version I dont have the folder and its not working... I can give you access and logs if you like?

Cheers

Hello,

Since you are using Toolset Blocks plugin, you don't need to install Toolset Views plugin, you can try these:
1) Download and unzip that zip file, get the patch file "internals.php"
2) Use it to replace the same file of Toolset Blocks plugin:
toolset-blocks\application\controllers\shortcode\resolver\internals.php

Then test again

[stuart]

Right, ok ... so I was hoping to use both so I could continue to use all of my old Views stuff and then test and migrate if I found it to be how I needed it...

It works if I deactivate Toolset Blocks ok... but now I cant test this on the same site. ? is that right?

Toolset Blocks plugin is advanced version of Toolset Views plugin, we recommend you use Blocks plugin in your new projects, as you see the Toolset Views plugin has been moved into Legacy plugins:
https://toolset.com/account/downloads/#legacy-plugins

And you are right, in order to activate Toolset Views plugin, you will need to deactivate Toolset Blocks plugin first.

[stuart]

and to be clear, the new version - Toolset Blocks has all the same features of the old legacy Views, so I can use this instead and still have all of the same options... ?

Apologies for the questions, I just want to ensure I am not going to break any production sites (Ill test first in staging, but to be sure).

Cheers

Yes, you are right, Toolset Blocks plugin has all the same features of the old legacy Views plugin
