@Joe

Can you let me know what browser version/OS version you are seeing the Hive problem on please, so i can try to reproduce it here? Thanks.

joebaich · 2012-07-31 12:33:39

Hello Phil,

OS is Mountain Lion. Occurs in latest versions of Chrome (Version 20.0.1132.57), Safari (Version 6.0 (8536.25)) and Firefox (14.0.1). I have just finished installing a new instance from scratch and have the same problem, no background images on the Hive theme.

Update Same deal on iOS (e.g. iPad)

Aaargghhh! It’s gobbledegook to me

Hehe, I couldn’t find a more succinct way to describe it than:

Forms are predefined portions of text, HTML, and Textpattern tags that collectively define how content should be formatted and displayed. They are sometimes referred to as “snippets” and are often used to display every article in a list, or every image in a gallery.

but if that’s gobbledegook then by all means edit it for clarity!

EDIT: while you’re at it… :-D

There is no problem with that OS/browser combination (that’s my setup too). Maybe your server has not got the mime type set correctly for SVG files?

Try adding this to your .htaccess file and let me know if it fixes it…

# SVG
AddType image/svg+xml                       svg svgz
AddEncoding gzip                            svgz

Stef, I’ve altered the first paragraphs of the help topic and I think this is easier to follow. I do not profess to be great at keeping things simple, so readers please by all means improve or alter this so even a dummy can understand it.

———

Form is an unfortunate choice of word that has stuck with Textpattern. It is not a field or series of fields to be completed as is the common meaning — for example a Contact Form or Search Form. In the context of the admin side or back end of Textpattern, the Form is a snippet or chunk of text, HTML and/or Textpattern tags called within a Textpattern tag like so:

<txp:related_articles form="ordinary_list" wraptag="ol" />

In the above example, <txp:related_articles /> is the standalone Textpattern tag, wraptag="ol" is an optional presentational attribute and form="ordinary_list" is an optional attribute too. By calling the Form, the tag is able to output the content precisely as you want it.

The ordinary_list Form itself might be:

<li><txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink></li>

The result is an ordered list of linked titles. Since this Form outputs a generic list of titles, it could be applicable inside other tags, such as showing 20 articles from the current Section:

<txp:article form="ordinary_list" limit="20" wraptag="ul" />

You may also choose to employ Forms to display repeated content, such as header and footer in your Page templates. This means the content only exists in one place and if you decide to change it, you only need to do it once. Displaying the content from a Form directly is usually accomplished with:

<txp:output_form form="your_form_name" />

Forms can be as long as you wish, for example the Form for a footer might include headings, paragraphs, links and other forms such as ordinary_list

B I N G O !

That’s what it was. I’ll scold Rackspace and get them to fix the server. Well done on spotting that, Phil.

I’ve no idea why. I posted the issue at ruud’s plugin thread.

@joe

I think I’ll put those rules into the Textpattern .htaccess file anyway, they don’t hurt and I’m sure other servers than yours are not going to be configured right too (even though SVG has been a common standard for over 10 years now).

Thanks for tidying it up. Though I was always thought it best never to start with an apology — a sign of weakness ;-) Maybe we could begin with something like:

In Textpattern, a Form differs from its usual meaning of a series of fields to be completed, such as in a Contact Form or Search Form. Instead, it is a snippet or chunk of text, HTML, and Textpattern tags that can be reused to display content.

and then continue with your text. Dunno if the above opening is any better, but it avoids the leading question of “if they know about this and are apologising for it, why haven’t they fixed it?”

@Bloke

Yeah, agree with that. The original introduction did sound a bit negative (though you already know my stance on the word ‘forms’).

Bloke · 2012-07-31 13:58:05

Updated. Any more advances on this?

That’s really good, Stef, I can’t improve on that.

Operating system: Mac OS 10.7.4
Browser: Chrome 20.0.1132.57
Admin Theme: Remora
Event: “Users” ?event=admin

I temporarily switched to Remora after upgrading because Hive requires flushing your cache and cookies if you’ve been using an earlier version. In the “Users” tab, I noticed a glitch when I attempted to change the privileges of one or more users: After selecting one or more checkboxes from the table, I picked “Change privilege” from the “With selected…” dropdown. Usually, another select input appears with the privilege levels, but in Remora, it remains hidden. I could still execute the privilege change by clicking the “Go” submit button under the “With selected…” field, but it set the privilege to “None” rather than allowing me to choose.

When I flushed my cache and cookies and switched the theme back to Hive, everything worked as expected again.

Problem with GLZ_CF.
If write page contains a checkbbox custom field and more than one value are selected Textpattern doesn’t submit the form.
Even when edit article.
