CMS Made Simple 1.5.1 - San Juan

Post by calguy1000 »

It never fails…. even though we have a lengthy beta cycle, and we try as hard as we can to get people to test there are always a few things that just don’t get tested. So though 1.5 was largely stable, we’ve fixed a handful of things (most of them were one line fixes), and fired out 1.5.1.

We had a minor emergency. We found another bug just minutes after we released the original 1.5.1, so we quickly took down the announcements, removed the files, fixed the bug, and started again. What a panic that was!!

Here’s a brief list of what has changed:
- News 2.9.1
- Fixes to permissions checks
- Additional help about the dateformat and formatpostdate stuff being removed
- Fix sql error in listcssassoc
- Fix missing username in admin header on login of new session.
- Fix to expand all/collapse all icons in listcontent.
- Fix to the edit tag.
- Fix to the cancel button in user preferences
- Minor adjustment to security key checks.
- Fix bug in stylesheet associations.

This release does include diff packages. Please use the base diff package if you downloaded and installed the base package. use the full-diff package if you downloaded and installed the full package. You are also encouraged to update the language packs that you may need (with the base version), as a few things have also been translated.

Even though there are no database changes in this release, as always, you are encouraged to do a full backup before you upgrade.

Enjoy!

Awesome. I just now ran into the "SQL error in listcssassoc.php" bug and it's great to see it's already fixed. Nice work.  :)

Calguy.  I want to upgrade from 1.3.1 to 1.5.1 can I do it all at once or do I need to upgrade in stages?  Thx.

Thanks to the dev team.

I have just upgraded my dev playground where I currently test a bunch of plug-ins/modules and mashing these up so I extensively use a lot of plug-ins, modules and smarty in the single templates - never had the system such a solid feeling. Not that anything dramatic changed on first sight but it feels better, more solid, reliable and mature than ever.

I think considering the flexibility of CMSMS it is not that far away from enterprise CMS. Well, enterprise level is not the proclaimed goal I guess but hey... they got millions for full-time developers. Strong clustering and and scaling abilities would be a nice feature for a 3.x branch someway... ;D

You rock! CMSMS is such a kick-ass free-style CMS  8) open for the simplest web presence or the wildest things ...

I finally need to get a paypal account to donate something (are there other ways to donate?)!

Best

By the news module, after upgrading the formatpostdate don't show anymore. :S
There's no date by the news items :(

How's that possible, is that a bug or ..... ?
Anyone else with this problem?

That made all the differance. :)
Be sure to edit your each news template where $entry->formatpostdate to the new one $entry->postdate.

But where does one edit the dateformat (strftime)?

Thanks Alby!

Re: news dates
One thing that helped me was to 'Reset to Factory Defaults' under 'Default Templates'.

I don't want to add the time also, only the date but now it's showing both, like this.

2008-11-17 19:49:25

Where can I edit this so it only show the date?

I found the solution.

Just edit formatpostdate to this {$entry->postdate|cms_date_format}

Then you can edit the postdate in settings, where you can delete the cache :)

So I just upgraded my test site to this version and there are two things I noticed. First, for some reason, my security key has a value of nothing. It is just an empty string (?_s_=&one=two). Second, the content image blocks are always available for the user the select an image although the template does not call for that. Isn't there a way to remove that?

OK, this is a little weird. I upgraded from 1.5 to 1.5.1 using the full tar file and upgrade.php process. Logged into Admin just fine, but when I went to view the site, IE7 said "connection problem" and FF3 said something about "an incompatible compression format". So I went back down to v1.5, and now all is fine again.

Any ideas?
