0.9rc1 Released!

Ted · Post by **Ted** » Mon Feb 14, 2005 7:03 pm

Please test it if you get some time. This mainly features the new module API and I would hope that transitions from 0.8.2 go very smoothly. There are some other bug fixes and such as well, but the meat of this release all revolves around the API. Please post bugs here or in mantis. Thanks!

wishy I notice Bookmarks are not in the zip. I thought Akra had this module ready to go for .9 ?

Ted · Post by **Ted** » Mon Feb 14, 2005 9:29 pm

He did, but I didn't include it in the downloadable zip. If I get a chance tonight, I'll zip it up and put it on the modules page. It's also in the daily svn, if you need it sooner.

I've added Bookmarks to the modules page. I really need to come up with a better way to handling the modules situation. Really going to have to come up with a good solution for downloading modules after 0.9 comes out.

Thanks wishy.

Tried .9rc1 on one local test set-up I have... went very smooth. No problems encountered at all.

That css_seq problem is with an upgrade, right? I thought I fixed it on a new install.

calguy will have to fix the fetchurl plugin, unless it's easy... is there an error?

You knew I would forget the translations.

I'll get them in before the real release.

Thanks.

Very strange. I thought I fixed the css_seq thing. I'll look again...

Thanks wishy! Entire family is just coming out of a round of flu and I completely forgot about creating zips from the svn tree!

'Strip background tags from CSS' with TinyMCE doesn't seem to be working. True or False result in the same display.

I found a workaround to the background-color problems with the WYSIWYG editors.
It relates to my post concerning using an id in the body tag. I gave the body element an id in my template then assigned the background-color atttribute to the id instead of the body element in my associated css. Works great. This works better than the strip tags in the php as that strips all background-color tags.

Upgraded to TinyMCE 1.42 (new) and it works great, only had to change two lines in TinyMCE.modules.php 157 and 161 as in the new version the tables module is independant.

Code: Select all

plugins : "table,advhr,advimage,advlink,emotions,iespell,insertdatetime,preview,zoom,flash,ibrowser",

theme_advanced_buttons3_add : "tablecontrols,emotions,iespell,flash,advhr,ibrowser",

Cool... I'll try to do that tonight before I release rc2.

Ted · Post by **Ted** » Thu Feb 17, 2005 3:29 am

Ok, I updated to TinyMCE 1.42 and the size of the distribution SEVERELY increased. I need to make a scaled down version of TinyMCE without all of the cruft... I was going to release rc2, but I think I'm going to try to size this thing down first.

in css_seq, the initial value is 0, and should be 3, because the 3 css examples are in css table.

issue: when adding a new css, it takes id 1 again, then when associating with a template, it associate the both id 1, same for 2, 3.

solution, if already installed, before to add a new css, go into cms_css_seq table and change value to 3
(or erase the 3 css examples if you do not need them)

old fetchurl function doesn't work with 0.9

you forgot the 4 new translation lines for french and norwegian I sent you, Wishy

I also had issues with css. in both 8.2 and 9rc1 I had to delete the contents of the 3 css tables. After that it all worked fine.

Perhaps the default template should just have the css in the template and a css style defined in the css manager but not applied to any templates. Of course that may already be the case... can't remember.

When I finish my projects I will release a template with a nice crisp header footer and horizontal nav. and a sub template with a left hand supplementary menu. Let me know if you are interested. I would like to help in the development, even though I am strictly a graphic vs programming web designer.

Good work so far. That is the only issue I had so far and I have 2 test sites running 9rc1

Patricia wrote: Great, I was planning to do some [[templates]], but had no idea to keep them graphic light (as Wishy asked me) and original at the same time. I guess that it would be good to have a place to post templates and not have Wishy to include in the default distribution. Like this, there could be a lot and very far from default (and even graphic heavy if this please a user)

Then future users would be able to choose a template to download in a list (maybe with demo).

Yeah I was thinking something simple as well, but I didn't plan on submitting it as part of the rollup. I figured on zipping it up with txt files with the relevant code. I will post another thread about the best location for template files.

0.9rc2 is now available for download. The main changes from rc1 are:

Addition of admin themes -- look in the admin/themes directory. It's pretty self explanitory. If someone can get another theme or 2 before next week, i'll include it in the 0.9 distribution.
Fix for the CSS table bug discussed above
Install now asks for a username and password for the admin account. No more admin/admin. This should help with security issues for people that don't change that info right after installation.
Updated TinyMCE to 1.4.2
Cleaned out some cruft and made the tar.gz file about 3-400k smaller
Other bug fixes and goodness...
[/list:u]
Let me know of any other bugs. I'd like to release this early next week, and will be available this weekend for bug fixes...

Thanks!
