Announcing CMS Made Simple 1.3
CMS Made Simple 1.3
June 7th, 2008 by Robert Campbell
Thanks to some fantastic effort by the development team, the translators, and testers, I’m pleased to announce CMS Made Simple 1.3
This was originally going to be just a marginal improvement to hold people over till CMS 2.0 comes out, but we just kinda got carried away.
There are new versions of the TinyMCE, ModuleManager, Search, MenuManager, News and FileManager modules, a massive improvement in translations, an automatic update notification mechanism, bugfixes, and lots of other tweaks to help you in your projects. For this reason, there will be no ‘diff’ packages.
Here’s a copy of the changelog for this version:
Version 1.3 “Cuba” — June 7, 2008
—————–
- Massive updates to translations
- Includes TinyMCE 2.4.0
Note: The wysiwyg editor is not called TinyMCE-Adv or TinyMCE-Basic anymore,
- Includes FileManager 0.3.0
- Includes News 2.8
- Fixes for pretty urls
- Adds news_extra and custom field support to the fesubmit action
- Uses cms_html_entity_decode for php4 compatibility
- Removes the News content type once and for all
- Includes Search 1.5
- Adds the ability to change the search output on a per module basis
- Adds an ability to track search words
- Better templating for News
- More
- Includes MenuManager 1.5
- Pass all parameters to the menumanager template for easier customization
- Fixes for has_children
- Minor fixes
- Includes ModuleManager 1.1.6
- Now indicates that a module available in the repository is incompatible with the current CMS version
- A nice big notice on the top of the display about xml vs zip modules
- Cleanup on uninstall
- Includes a new admin theme generously donated by Nuno Costa
- All plugins are now translatable
- The title and sitename plugins now support the assign param
- Adds two new plugins (redirect_page and redirect_url)
- Debug mode now tweaks the display_errors and error levels in the admin section as well as in the frontend
- Listcontent is now cleaned-up and has better security checks
- Minor improvements to listmodules
- Admin templates are now override-able by creating a matching file in module_custom//templates/.tpl
- All language files are now override-able by creating a matching file in module_custom//lang/.php
- Adds a new PageLink content type to allow linking to an internal page easily
- The {sitemap} plugin is deprecated, and replaced by {site_mapper} which is just a simple wrapper around menumanager
- Fixes so that menumanager sets has_children properly
- Attempt to handle hosts that have disabled the readfile function
- Add cms_html_entity_decode which is php4 compatible as html_entity_decode may not be.
- Fix un-necessary queries in cms_selflink
- Fixes for bugs #2227, 2205, 2230, 2207
- Content type names are now translatable
- Replaced the ’select all’ link in Listcontent with a checkbox which is a bit more standardish
- Changed the comment at the bottom of output pages to have nothing that can be searched on
- Adds new auto update check mechanism

Re: Announcing CMS Made Simple 1.3
Woot! Great work, guys!
Edit: just updated a site that uses frontendusers, selfregistration, customcontent, quizzard, and formbuilder and everything seems to be working fine.

Re: Announcing CMS Made Simple 1.3
Should release 1.2.5 still considered "secure" or this update is mandatory?
Thanks and regards

Re: Announcing CMS Made Simple 1.3
One additional remark....
For those that upgrade, and use TinyMCE.... You MUST press the restore to default button in TinyMCE's Toolbar-tab, as there are some new and renamed features, that otherwise wont work, f.e. CMSLINK, is now called CMSLINKER.... And as an upgrade wont touch the preferences.... must you do it using the Restore function.

Re: Announcing CMS Made Simple 1.3
We're treating it as an optional upgrade. However, bear in mind that any security fixes will be patched against 1.3, so it's probably easier to do the big upgrade now and later on you can just paste on a quick patch when it's a dire emergency.blast2007 wrote: Should release 1.2.5 still considered "secure" or this update is mandatory?

A very small bug (#2199) seems to be still present in this new release.
Change this row in file /modules/ModuleManager.php
Code: Select all
586 $this->Lang('download'),
Code: Select all
586 $this->Lang('upgrade'),

Re: Announcing CMS Made Simple 1.3
Here is another minor glitch: text in table headers of the pagepos class is not centered. Add the following to the style.css in admin/themes/NCleanGrey/css :
Code: Select all
table.pagetable th.pagepos {
text-align: center;
}
Re: Announcing CMS Made Simple 1.3
I have a problem with TinyMCE not loading in properly. Has anybody else experienced the same problem?
Otherwise it's a great release!
OK, I just found two other threads reporting the same problem:
http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php/topic,22697.0.html
http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php/topic,22710.0.html

Re: Announcing CMS Made Simple 1.3
I upgraded from 1.06 to 1.3, and got these error messages:
-- Add Me - module:FileManager string:friendlyname--
-- Add Me - module:printing string:friendlyname--
-- Add Me - module:TinyMCE string:friendlyname--
All transladed strings for these modules are also missing,
but the language files exists and seems to be ok.
Any suggestions?

Re: Announcing CMS Made Simple 1.3
{sitemap} is being deprecated... will we see the bits that it supports that the menumanger doesn't, added before it's dropped completely? example: add_element
eternity (n); 1. infinite time, 2. a seemingly long or endless time, 3. the length of time it takes a frozen pizza to cook when you're starving.
4,930,000,000 (n); 1. a very large number, 2. the approximate world population in 1986 when Microsoft Corp issued its IPO. 3. Microsoft's net profit (USD) for the quarter (3 months) ending 31 March 2007.

Re: Announcing CMS Made Simple 1.3
add_elements allows you to arbitrarly add a list of page aliases to the sitemap.
unless I'm wrong, you can do the same thing now, with internal pagelinks and section headers, etc. it's just a slightly different way of doing it.
If I'm wrong, please explain what you need that for.
