r2762 - new section name

In r2762 – first of all you seem to have placed the “First Post” into the “about” section when you are on the Write page however on the article list page it registers as “article” which is a problem because you have renamed that section to “articles”. If I change the section for the post to “articles” via the Write page it all seems to work.

Also you have placed a “,” (comma) between the category1 and category2 tags in the default form which looks like an orphan as no categories are set for “First Post” by default.

In the default page template you use h1 in the header for the site_name but that changes to a “p” tag in the archive template where you use h1 for the article title. Should the site_name not be the same and maybe change the article_title to h3 in single-article view to maintain style?

In the error_default template you have <h1 class="error-status"><txp:error_status /></h3> so you need to decide on h1 or h3.

In the article_listing form you have <sp which I think is meant to be <span.

What is <address></address>?

Thank you Mary for r2761. I’ll send you some socks. :)

Re: r2762 - new section name

did you also do a fresh database install? because most of the changes were in the initial setup sql file.

i have a fresh install (svn and new database) of 2762 on my local server and i don’t see the first issue with ‘First Post” being in the about section. i see it in the “articles” section. i also see the first post belonging in hope-for-the-future and meaningful-labor categories and thus the ‘comma’ looks appropriate to me when viewing the article.

i do see the error_default template error though (<h1>blhablah</h3>)

<address> is an html tag for..addresses/author names/signatures.

Re: r2762 - new section name

The new page defaults are created during setup, which is also where the default article has categories assigned to it, etc. I recommend that you make sure your browser cache is cleared and do a fresh install.

That is on purpose. h1 is for a page’s title. Your site’s name could only be the page’s title on the front page.

Damn, thought I caught them all, thanks.

See hAtom.

Re: r2762 - new section name

I installed r2762 but didn’t encounter the same thing.

The first post was on the front page and it had two categories, I remember cause it stuck out as did the poster’s name.

Rather than get into details, like the comment form extends into the sidebar, maybe we could offer a default look to the dev team?

A style just as simplistic as it is today, but modernized, with more options to showcase Textpattern’s strengths.

i do see the comment form extending into the sidebar as well. i agree the default frontend look could at least do with an update since the backend seems like its going to stay forever (despite all of the threads with people creating new admin themes that are much more attractive imo. this one has caught my eye recently. its just a slightly modified textpattern.css with no changes to txplib_head.php along with a couple of small gradient images)

Re: r2762 - new section name

So I did another install. Ignore everything I said except for the error_default page. Oh and the socks. :)

@Steve – I always drop all the tables before doing a fresh install though I retain the database so that I can retain the config.php file. Saves a bit of time.

I’m going to bed. Sod it!
