What changed
shariff-backenddirectory exists at the OJS installation root.data-backend-urlwhen that backend is installed.Why
The plugin always configured
/shariff-backend, although the backend is optional. Installations without it consequently generated repeated HTTP 404 responses while displaying Shariff buttons.Impact
Sharing buttons continue to work without the optional backend. Share counters are requested only when the backend directory exists, matching the documented behavior.
Validation
php -l ShariffPlugin.inc.phpphp -l ShariffBlockPlugin.inc.phpgit diff --checkTarget: OJS 3.4.x (
stable-3_4_0).
