Re: sed_cleaner

Hi jpdupont

Thanks for trying this out! I can use some of what you posted above verbatim.

Edited to add: I may need to extend the commands in cleanups.php to handle some of these after all as they may not be exactly what everyone wants.

Re: sed_cleaner

Thanks Steve !

Maybe a … last idea ???

As the wonderful automatic plugin insertion, an automatic .page, .css, .form file insertion ?

Re: sed_cleaner

Hi jpdupont,

As I mentioned above, I’m not so keen on turning this into an import mechanism for presentation items as there are plenty of good theme installers around already.

If people can see a gap between what this plugin now does and what a theme installer does, and can convince me of the need, I’ll take a look at adding that functionality.

Re: sed_cleaner

What I mean here here, is not a theme installer, but a complete TXP reset/initialisation.
Each time I start a new TXP site, I must remove many things : your pluging actually do the job ! Fine !
Then I paste the same plugins code from other site : now your plugin do the job ! Wonderful !
And finally I paste from other installations the sames css reset, the same form snippets (jquery code / calls, search form, …).
It’s not theme import (I never use pre made theme …), but last step in the initialisation job !

Great! Glad this is working :)

Right, but couldn’t you just use something like cxc_templates to create your own personal ‘starting template’ (generating your starting template would be a one-time task.) You could then have sed_cleaner install cxc_templates into your new site so it can import your starting template.

Would that work?

Re: sed_cleaner

I just tried cxc_templates. Works, but it’s not what I need (to many manipulations – create tpl directory, upgrade the template zip file each time we need, on some hostings chmod the tmp directory etc…).

I need just the automatic import of .css, .page, .form dropped in the files directory near the cleanups.php, like plugin files….

But, don’t worry with this Steve !
Big thanks for the actual job !

Re: sed_cleaner

Hello again jpdupont,

glad you’re finding this useful.

Another idea for you: create a local staging copy of the latest Txp but with the required /tpl directory & files in place. Also add your cleanups.php & plugin files already in the /files folder. Then, when you do your ftp or ssh sshfs/scp/rcp installation to the new server all the files you need are already in the correct place for you. You could have a favourite admin theme installed in the /themes directory too and use SetPref in your cleanups.php file to select it.

Re: sed_cleaner

Hi jpdupont,

I’ve been trying staging layouts here and whilst they work really well, I’m warming to your idea of basic import for presentation items (a CSS reset in particular) instead of using a theme installation plugin now as it would allow a more streamlined approach.

To make way for this possibility I’m working on a little mod to only treat files with a .plugin suffix as an actual plugin.
