Re: Feedback to: Textpattern 4.5.0 released

One small issue I did come across is that the sidebar (complementary) has double search inputs. At least the install I downloaded today did.

I just edited the default page like so (commenting out the reference to the search form):

<div role="complementary">
<txp:search_input /> 
        <!-- links by default to form: 'search_input.misc.txp' unless you specify a different form 
<txp:search_input form="" button="<txp:text item="go" />" label="" /> -->

Re: Feedback to: Textpattern 4.5.0 released

Yes thanks from me, too, for quick response, Phil. I will try to get in touch with Gehard. Hopefully others will do so, too. This plugin is obviously widely used.

Re: Feedback to: Textpattern 4.5.0 released

I see others found the search issue as well. I’m thinking that it was originally intended to illustrate how to link to a specific search form.

I’m really liking the new admin theme, HTML5 site theme, mobile access, etc. All the hard work is appreciated.

Re: Feedback to: Textpattern 4.5.0 released

Loving the new version! I ran into a couple of issues and submitted them in the issue tracker (251, 252)

The first one relates to the duplicate search field but it looks like Phil already fixed that.

The second has to do with duplicate comment sections in the articles. Screenshot attached to issue 252.

Re: Feedback to: Textpattern 4.5.0 released

Sorry…one more thing that I noticed. In Chrome, the installation progress arrows are a bit off. Sorry, I’m picky! ;-)

Can you confirm, is that Chrome on Windows, and which version of browser? Looks fine on Chrome v22 on my Mac here.

Re: Feedback to: Textpattern 4.5.0 released

Hello, while my 4.4.1 installation of works nicely, I get the following php error message when trying to update to 4.5 :
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '=', expecting ')' in /homez.13/nulleparu/www/textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php on line 869

I don’t use any extension and the site works again when rolling back to version 4.4.1

Thanks for reading

Oops! replying to myself:

OVH shared servers are set to interprete PHP 4 by default unless something else is specified. I just added a line in the .htaccess file (SetEnv PHP_VER 5) and now it works.

Sorry

Try to zoom in or increase text-size as in mlsmith’s screenshot. That breadcrumb bar, and for instance, the drop down menus get bit misaligned like that when changing base text-size from the 16 px, scaling or zooming in.

Re: Feedback to: Textpattern 4.5.0 released

Hi,

I noticed that <txp:article pgonly=“1” /> behaviour has changed. For some reason I used this attribute sometimes with an article tag together with another status=“sticky” article tag with pgonly=“0”. The sticky articles were used to show lists of ‘normal’ articles in the same section. Before 4.5 clicking on such a link did display the status=“4” article even whith the pgonly=“1” attribute. From now on nothing is displayed anymore (as it should I think). Workarounds are not that difficult, but remembering where I used this odd functionality somewhat more.

Apart from that I’m very happy with 4.5!

Looking forward to a MLP upgrade too.

@gocom

Looks like Chrome rendering slightly wrong when at enlarged/reduced sizes – scaling is totally fine in latest webkit builds though, which is supposed to be identical rendering engine. Not much of an issue, but I’ll keep an eye on this when we do 4.6. It’s still an improvement over the old admin themes which didn’t scale well at all.

@mlsmith

The duplicated comments issue – do you have ‘Automatically append comments to articles’ turned on in the prefs? If so, turn that off.

I’m going to discuss with the other devs whether we should even keep that pref in future – I guess it’s some legacy option from way back in Textpattern history (which I never turn on myself).

Re: Feedback to: Textpattern 4.5.0 released

Phil, the option is on by default. Removing it will break existing sites, unless you can somehow magically inject new tags to correct locations on the users’ templates, or how the magical comments are no longer appearing magically.

That said, did anyone actually do clean test installs, running through the setup progress couple times before packaging 4.5, lol. Based on the errors it seems that the answer is no. Otherwise you would have noticed the error right away on the landing page.

I suppose no one in the community did either, including me. Haven’t installed Textpattern in 5 years or so using the setup progress.

I’m not actually that surprised about the human errors. Since the templates are managed separately and copied in manually after. Couldn’t be bad in my opinion to make the template management bit easier for Phil. Since keeping up version numbers in some source file is hard, that must be total hell. Some awkward SQL export mangled in PHP, ugh.
