Hi mikeim

An editor has the "Modify files" permission and therefore should be allowed to both upload files and delete, copy etc. but only within the uploads dir. The advanced mode gives access to the whole filesystem, not just uploads.
But as you say the version in beta2 did not allow editors to modify files, and that has been fixed in svn now. I'm very sorry I did not see this before. Should've been fixed in earlier beta for proper checking.

No worries Silmarillion, that's what the beta is for, right.  ;D

All seems good to me.

A few points:

admin/lang/ still contains a serbian language file in the base file. This folder also contains an addline.bat file. What is this for?

The robots.txt needs updating.

I also feel an up to date .htaccess file should be released with the new version.

Also what is the stylesheet.css file used for in the top level folder. This does not seem to be used for anything.

Good work as always CG and everybody else.

Fresh install (base pack):

index.html appears in the language options.

Clicking try again goes back to the language selection and does not reload ?sessiontest=1

I've tweaked the langpack creation a bit to remove more files from the TinyMCE directory on the base install.

There are still a few extra files laying around in admin/lang and in TinyMCE because we don't have translations for those languages yet.... when we do, they'll get split out in subsequent releases.

1.4 is looking great. Well done!

I think the site verification is a terrific feature, in terms of security. One thing that would be a nice enhancement, would be to be able to validate the site from a file on the server. When I generate a checksum file, I'd like to be able to FTP it to the server, outside of the CMSMS installation, and use it to validate the site, as I'm not always at the same computer when I'm working on a site.

I realise that we're in "no new features" mode right now, but for future consideration...

Yeah, that's been requested before, and is a good idea.  I just didn't get to it.

However, we can always release that seperately (or somebody else could do it)....

release a single php file that has no UI or anything, doesn't rely on anything else (maybe fileloc.php or config.php at the most), but can read the checksum file specified (somewhere) and spit out a report.

However, the reason I didn't save the file to the local filesystem was for security reasons.  if the checksum file is there, then it stands to reason, that any hacker that finds a vulnerability could always tweak that file.  so if a checksum file was on the server it really couldn't be regarded as 'trustworthy', but could still help if you're certain it wasn't corrupted (i.e: you kept track of the md5sum of the checksum file itself).

This report lacks context information which would be helpfull to diagnose the issue.

index.html appears in the language options.
I can't reproduce this.

I can.

Installing 1.4 beta2 "base" over 1.3.1.  Here's a screenshot of the language options, and one of the system settings shown during installation.
Clicking try again goes back to the language selection and does not reload ?sessiontest=1
Reproduced this too.  The first time I tried the install, my config.php was set to 644.  I changed to 777 for the install, then clicked Try Again.  This took me back to the language selection page instead of refreshing the current page.

I had no problems completing the install, and everything looks to work ok in the limited testing I've done so far.

Have you CHMOD this directory? 777?

Looks to me like an upload issue.
