Announcing CMS Made Simple 1.2 Beta 1

calguy1000 · **Posted:** Fri Sep 28, 2007 8:59 pm

Yep, you've heard it. We're already in beta for the next (and the last) version of the CMS Made Simple 1.x series.

* Here's a brief description as to what has changed:
* Adds capabilities to have a wysiwyg on the front end
* Adds the ability to select 'groups' as additional editors
* Now the 'admin group' automatically has all permissions, not just the admin user
* Add a new page where default settings for new pages can be set
* Adds a new file manager
* Enhance the use of permissions when adding or editing content
* Adds a new 'print' plugin capable of generating pdf filees from one or more pages
* News 2.5.1
* Moved the default summary and detail templates into their own tab
* Adds An extra field
* Fix issues with stylesheet name changes after hitting 'apply'
* Fixes issues with spaces or underscores not being allowed in usernames
* Fixes pagination issues in the admin log, and anywhere that uses the built in pagination functions.
* Turn error reporting to E_ALL and turn display_errors on if debug mode is on.
* You can no longer delete the admin group

Please test this version as much as possible. The more you test the more stable our package, and all of our websites will be.

It is not recommended that you test this version on live sites at this time. However, it should be good for a site that will be rolled out within the next few weeks. We cannot help you if you install this beta version on a live, mission critical site, and then encounter a problem. Especially if you don't have backups.

We want this beta to last no more than about a week, and we want it to be the last beta before full release.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Just downloaded it, but i thought files like; autogen.sh, cleardb.sh, release-cleanup.sh etc etc are always taken out before releasing?

And I don't find tmp/templates_c and tmp/cache so chmod is confused.

And pointing to /cmsms I'm redirected to /cmsms/install/index.php?sessiontest=1&PHPSESSID=xyz which give a blank page but http 200 OK.

Going to Pidgin to chat about this.

Good stuff; I've installed it on a test setup and all seems fine. There's an error on the new Page Defaults page, which I've reported as a bug.

and I can't reproduce the error, maybe it was an upload issue.

My very silly mistake was to "touch" to "mkdir" the missing folders. Having now mkdired, all is fine and looks very good.
I suggest to package these missing folders in the next RC and to strengthen the folder access tests : they should have the right rights and they should be folders, first.

Sorry for the flag waving. I was tired, I was thinking about the "touch config.php" so I bugged ;-)

woot! so far so good!

any particular add-on modules or tags that need to be tested with this version, or are modules and tags beyond the scope of the beta?

tsw · **Posted:** Sat Sep 29, 2007 12:11 pm

every module and tag should be tested

remember to file module bugs againts the module not core

Bad news :

In global preferences, when I select "TinyMCE" rather than "none" as "Frontend wysiwyg", I get :
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: stripos() in /somepath/cmsms-1.2b1/modules/TinyMCE/TinyMCE.module.php on line 157

Same for all pages : they break with "TinyMCE" and work with "none". Very reproducible.

Pierre M. beta testing...

tsw · **Posted:** Sat Sep 29, 2007 12:34 pm

Works here.

php manual says that function came with php5...

Pierre M. · **Posted:** Sat Sep 29, 2007 12:55 pm

I hope it is only a typo, because phpinfo() outputs "PHP Version 4.4.7".

Into Php 4.3.10 I have the same problem -->
If $pos=stripos( --> $pos=strpos( That's Ok

Into Php 5.1.3 no problem

Have you any problem to see PDF page made by this tag
{cms_module module=printing showbutton="true" pdf="true"} into page with image ?

tsw · **Posted:** Sat Sep 29, 2007 1:15 pm

stripos is case insensitive strpos is case sensitive..

lets see what we can do about that

tsw · **Posted:** Sat Sep 29, 2007 1:20 pm

Ok. I changed it to strpos and strtolower.

fixed in Tiny svn rev 168.

thanks for noticing

I really hope you guys are developing this with older installations in mind, most HOSTS don't upgrade very often, whilst its easy for anyone with a development system to keep it right up to date.

Using funcitons in newer versions of PHP could be a big problem.
