Status of next release?

Post by pinthenet »

Is there any news about a new release (0.10beta4)? There seem to be a few open issues, some of which should be fixed in svn but don't seem to work for everyone.

Could someone make a general statement as to plans?

Thanks

The main holdup for beta4 is me.  Long story short is that I'm going to WWDC (the Apple developers conference) next week for work and have been cramming Mac programming in every spare moment I have.  After I get back at the end of next week, things should pick back up again.

What would really help at this point is helping to gather a list of remaining issues.  What works and what doesn't for people.  If anyone can use the current daily, that would be wonderful.  Put the all here.  I think I know most of them, but I want to be sure...

So far, I know of:

- phplayers still doesn't work for everyone.  While the templates bug seems to be fixed, some people are still having issues with submenus not working
- languages are not all updated yet.  With that, some new things have not made it into the language files yet.  "Options" is one of them.
- The 2 right tabs on the News module do not show up in languages besides English.

What else?

Thanks!

I fixed the problem with install not working on older mysqls this morning.  I'll have it remake the daily right now so that it's up to date.

Thanks again!

There is also the problem with Add New Content: Preview doesn't work until the page has been Submitted once.
and an error shown is
Notice: Undefined variable: adminaccess in d:\develop\easyphp1-8\www\cms\admin\addcontent.php on line 279

I compared with editcontent.php and there seems to be a missing
$adminaccess = $access;
after the $access=check_permission.....

I added the assignment (after line 49) and the error message has gone :-) but I still can't preview a new page...:-(.

Nobody else has confrmed this error yet  & I've just reinstalled using the cms-daily (about 1 hour ago ago)

Shall I enter it in the bug tracker?

Yes, please do.  It'll help me to have a list of stuff to jump on if I get a free moment.

For those keeping score, the bugs with add content (preview and adminaccess) are fixed and in svn.  French language is also updated to Pat's latest files.

Add language-string functionality for login page message.

The general consensus was to take the language off of the login page.  What are people's thoughts on this?  As I don't care either way.

It's not too important for me, I might as well translate it myself in the original file. No big thing, really.

BUT!

I'd definitely need a function that would hide other users content, i. e. when user A logs in, they should only see their own content! Would be very important for me!

Doesn't it do that now?  I could've sworn that it did, but I didn't do most of the new admin stuff, so I'm not positive.

I've tried it and it doesn't hide foreign content. Is there somewhere I could switch that on?

It wouldn't be a switch.  I'll have to look at the code to see what's going on...

These are fixed.

I still don't have any ideas about phplayers.  If people are still having problems, please post php versions and any other good info so that we can try and track down this problem.

What other bugs are still out there?

The two template tabs in News works well with lang files now. Thanks!

Another issue related to translation is that most of the labels on the page where the news article is edited are not translated. (*Category, Summary, *Content, Post Date, *Status, Use Expiration, Start Date and End Date).  Months show up only in english.

I'll add an observation about HTMLArea:
  • Main and Options tabs do not work for content (everything under options tab).
  • Flickering when hoovering HTMLArea toolbar Firefox.
  • Width is less than for TinyMCE (maybe 72 em?).
  • For News summary, double set of table toolbars are loaded.

I do not have the beta up and running at the moment but I can remember that it was some issue about adding the CSS(made with cms) files to the templates template. It kind of just to an not existing template when adding. But it was added to the template nethertheless.

Choosing language on the loginpage seems totally useless.

Some small wishes for the future, some minor some would make improve the CMS largly:

- Be able to copy not only the templates but also the pages!

- Be able to set show/not show 'site admin' & 'extensions' for some usergroups. This can be confusing for the non-webbies.

- Somehow set a class to the subpages(1.1, 2.3) in 'Current Pages' so we can make them indented for a clear overview over the pagestructure..Or maybe just a class for the main one so we could color it instead(for people with subsubsub pages and the indented version doesn't work well)..

- Set the encoding for the admin in the admin area would help us foreign guys alot

- Why is the 'html blobs' under layout? For me it would be great to have two blobs - 'design/layout blob' in 'layout' and one 'contentblob' in 'content' for differnt use.

Almost perfect!!

Thanks / gnolen
