Sitemap???

I use the sitemap module extensively as part of my seo work.

Why is it being removed? Doesn't make sense to me.

Thanks for all the extra work and for a great cms.

I believe sitemap functionality is now provided by site_mapper.

New release looks great! Nice!

Correct,

sitemap was replaced by site_mapper some mayor releases ago. Thing is that sitemap didnt handle inactive/hidden pages correctly, the site_mapper logic uses the MenuManager logic.

Excellent. Thanks for that. I was concerned this had been overlooked.

Very nice! Looks like a great update! (yes that 'thank you' you heard on drag-drop was from me ;) )

How does this relate to CMSMS2.0? I thought 1.7 was already supposed to be the last version of the 1.x range, and now with 1.9 there's not much left! Does this mean this is really the last version or might 2.0 be renumbered?

I think these updates are a good thing though. 2.0 is taking a bit longer to release and nobody wants to be waiting forever, so it's a good thing 1.x is still making good progress too.

Hi Robert and the CMSMS dev team

I use $gCms in lots of my UDTs - especially to process smarty using code like:

global $gCms;
  $smarty = &$gCms->GetSmarty();
  $smarty_data = $smartyToProcess;
  $smarty->_compile_source('temporary template', $smarty_data, $_compiled );
  @ob_start();
  $smarty->_eval('?>' . $_compiled);
  $_contents = @ob_get_contents();
  @ob_end_clean();
}

and for retrieving vars like $gCms->config['root_path']

Will there be other methods to achieve the same? As this could potentially keep me stuck in the 1.8s

Kind regards

Nik

No, that'll still work... with no problems.

it's just the {$gCms} variable within smarty that's disappearing, not the global variable.

As well:

You should NOT be using any of the $gCms internal variables (the ones declared private in the api docs).  i.e:  $gCms->variables[] and $gCms->modules etc.

These are to be considered private, and in later versions you won't have access to them..  This is the warning.

Thanks for the tip Calguy

I'll have to find workarounds for the $gCms->config['root_path']  (used to manage a multidomain site)

To be honest I have never seen the API docs and am not sure where to even look for them.

Kind regards
Nik

This is what makes CMSMS by far the best Content Management system out there!

Update: Coming Soon - CMS Made Simple 1.9

Post by calguy1000 »

Well, we're getting close to release...but we're not there yet.  It seems that everybody is busy at this time of year, so it's been hard for alot of people to find time for testing (and fixing) the beta.

Because we still have a few issues left to resolve, we are delaying the release a bit.  We now hope to have the 1.9 release out on or about the 6th of November.

There has been alot of work on 1.9 in the last month though.  We've cleared up alot of the jquery/javascripty/ajax issues...

We've gotten rid of the use_hierarchy=false stuff again (the new URL stuff replaces it, and one of the things we have to test and fix is the upgrade path).

We've written a bunch of new API functions, and protected a bunch of internals.  You should note that these steps MAY cause problems with some poorly behaved modules. 

Regarding E_STRICT.  Though we have fixed any issues we've found wrt E_STRICT we have not made a point of going through each function with the intent of fixing E_STRICT errors.  Therefore 1.9 will still not support E_STRICT and we'll ask you to disable it in your .htaccess/php.ini/etc.  However as we move forward we will fix things so that they work with E_STRICT.

Docs still have to be written for the official release notes, and to cover how this timezone stuff works, and why it has to be set to the servers timezone... the API docs need updating, etc, etc.  There's a thousand little things left to do before the release. Lets hope we can get them done in a week.
