Publish/Unpublish dialog not automatically closing when publishing/unpublishing a single item using the "Publish From Publishing Queue" extension

Question

We have downloaded and deployed the 'Publish from Publishing Queue' extension for Tridion 2011 SP1 CMS product from SDL Tridion World.

The extension publishes and unpublishes items from the Publishing Queue properly but we are facing one problem with the extension's popup window:

When a user selects a single item from the publishing queue and then either publishes or unpublishes the item using the extension, the popup window the extension opens to allow the user to select the Publishing target and settings does not close when the user clicks the publish/unpublish button. Instead, the user has to manually close the popup window in this case. The selected item does publish/unpublish properly.

It seems it could be issue in JavaScript files in the extension i.e. \PublishFromPublishingQueue\Scripts\Command\Publish.js \PublishFromPublishingQueue\Scripts\Commands\UnPublish.js but I am not sure. Could anybody please help on this?

Note: The publish/unpublish window does close properly when multiple content items are selected from the queue and submitted for publishing/unpublishing at the same time using the extension.

Answer 1

The extension indeed contained an issue when selecting single items, this was introduced in version 1.2 (which enabled multiple item selection).

Last week the extension has been updated to version 1.3 (by Sebastien PRAT) which should fix this issue, so make sure you download the 1.3 version of the extension.

Please note the 1.3 version is configured for SDL Tridion 2013, so to make it work on 2011, you should change the ..\Themes\Carbon\Publishing.css file and use the commented out values for background-image and background-position.
