Re: Feedback to: Textpattern CMS 4.8.0 Released

I may have been using it wrong in the past. But it worked, so maybe it was a bug that is now corrected.

But I would do something like <txp:variable name = ‘previous_page’ value = ‘<txp:permlink />’ />

Then somewhere else, I could do ‘Go back to <txp:variable name =“previous_page”/>’

(Obvs not correct linking code)

But the <txp:variable name =“previous_page”/> is now empty on a different page.

Re: Feedback to: Textpattern CMS 4.8.0 Released

Try

<txp:variable name="previous_page" value='<txp:permlink />' />

Re: Feedback to: Textpattern CMS 4.8.0 Released

Hmmm, the approach works for me. In the default form, for example:

<txp:variable name="previous_page"><txp:link_to_prev /></txp:variable>
Go back to <a href="<txp:variable name="previous_page" />">Previous page</a>

If I click on the link, it jumps back an article at a time.

Re: Feedback to: Textpattern CMS 4.8.0 Released

It doesn’t work. That’s what is so weird.

If I do <txp:variable name=“previous_page” value=’<txp:permlink />’ />
Then immediately do <txp:variable name=“previous_page” /> it is correct.

But if I put <txp:variable name=“previous_page” /> on a different page, it’s empty.

But was I always doing it wrong? Should it be done in forms?

By different page I take it that you mean txp page (template). It would not work like this as variables should be in all pages that make use of them. If it was working before it was definitely a bug.

If it worked this way before, it was definitely a bug. There’s no variable state remembered from page to page. You need to treat each request as a discrete event and set everything you might need on it at the start of the page flow.

Sorry for the inconvenience if it really did work this way before: honestly never noticed.

Re: Feedback to: Textpattern CMS 4.8.0 Released

Cheers for all the hard work, chaps.

Just pre-flighting an upgrade, and noticed that css.php and .htaccess in sites/site1/public have not been updated to correspond to the changes in their top-level counterparts, and it looks to me as though they should.

Hi Jeff – I think this is now done in dev, should be released with 4.8.1.
