Re: Feedback: Textpattern CMS 4.9.0 released
Just upgraded two sites to 4.9. Took 5 minutes and no problems. Smooth like butter.

I had a recent backup, so I did not make a new one. Backups would probably have made it take 10-minutes.

I just finished updating 3 sites … As Dean Allen used to say: Halitosis be dammed … I went full steam ahead, no backups.

Do you have a script on the new server to run a backup that compresses the DBs and also dates them so I can have a monthly copy? My Current script doesn’t work on the new server.
For example , I wish to have backups sometime like this:
/home/bici/backups/backups/tofufoods_txp.opal3.opalstack.com.01-11-2025.gz
/home/bici/backups/backups/tofufoods_txp.opal3.opalstack.com.01-12-2024.gz

Re: Feedback: Textpattern CMS 4.9.0 released
A Big thanks to the Devs, near devs, and others, for all the great work on this new version. One site to go, and all has been very smooth so far. Congratulations lads!
Notes:
One update complained about the RPC folder, so I uploaded the recent version and all was fine again.
I don’t recall this for past updates, but with 4.9 , Pages and Articles Preferences for all sites had Allow PHP turned on, and diagnostics advised me to turn those preferences off.

Re: Feedback: Textpattern CMS 4.9.0 released
Is that intentional that the prefs.json and textpack.txp were deleted out of the core themes (Hive and Hiveneutral) just prior to release ?
On a default install, with the default theme you upload an image, a thumbnail is created automatically but it has the same size as the full sized image.

The warning is new. It retains your settings during update (new installs have those prefs off by default) but advises you to turn them off unless you know you’re using <txp:php> tags in your site somewhere.

Urk, it’s meant to use the fallback sizes (200×200) but I probably didn’t test that enough, since my installation always had the Admin Theme prefs in place, which masked the fallbacks.
I did try uploading a new image on the site I’ve just updated to 4.9.0 and the thumbnail came out at 200×200, but I haven’t checked what happens on a brand new installation.
If it’s misbehaving, we’ll fix it.
EDIT: P.S. Does your new install include the images/thumb dir? If that’s missing, you’ll get full size thumbs created

My new installation, localhost with PHP 8.5, does not have a thumb dir in /images/. Inserting an image in the article (<txp:image thumbnail id="2" width="600" />) fails to show the image.
I see more problems. With theme Sandspace and the prefs.json active. Thumbnails are generated on the admin side. On the public side not well at all ;-(. Thumbnails are generated at a variety of sizes (they all should be equal), a smaller than expected thumb is used (screengrab localhost: dev.l-c-n.com/_b/txp-thumbs_issue.png),
Code like this does not render the images correctly:
<txp:images id='<txp:custom_field name="article_image" />' sort='rand() asc' wraptag='' break='' limit='16'>
<figure itemprop="image" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageObject">
<a href="<txp:image_url />" class="image-gallery-link image-lightbox" data-caption="<txp:image_info escape='textile, p' />">
<picture><!-- order: .avif / .webp / .jpg or .png -->
<source srcset="<txp:image_url thumbnail width="160" /> 160w, <txp:image_url thumbnail width="200" /> 200w, <txp:image_url thumbnail width="260" /> 260w, <txp:image_url thumbnail width="460" /> 460w" sizes="(min-width: 1300px) 225px, (min-width: 1120px) calc(20vw - 31px), (min-width: 920px) 225px, (min-width: 740px) calc(21.25vw + 34px), (min-width: 580px) 225px, calc(41.54vw - 8px)" type="image/webp">
<img loading="lazy" src="<txp:image_url />" alt="<txp:image_info type='alt' />" height="<txp:evaluate query='ceiling(<txp:image_info type="h" />* 0.5)' />" width="<txp:evaluate query='ceiling(<txp:image_info type="w" />* 0.5)' />">
</picture>
<meta itemprop="width" content="<txp:image_info type="w" />"><meta itemprop="height" content="<txp:image_info type="h" />">
</a>
<figcaption itemprop="caption"><txp:image_info escape="textile, p" /> </figcaption>
</figure>
</txp:images>The browser source shows (token shortened, line breaks added):
srcset="https://l-c-n.com/images/thumb/w160-h224-q60/20.webp?token=c548 160w,
https://l-c-n.com/images/thumb/w210-h224-q60/20.webp?token=6d2090 210w,
https://l-c-n.com/images/thumb/w260-h224-q60/20.webp?token=ae1cc4bb3 260w,
https://l-c-n.com/images/thumb/w460-h224-q60/20.webp 460w"For each thumb , notice the h-224. All equal (they should not)
If I manually add the height to each thumb in the srcset: <txp:image_url thumbnail width="160" height="239"/> 160w, and so on,, each thumb its own height, at least each image is rendered the same size, but too small (view here: l-c-n.com/postcards/). The server uses PHP 8.4.15. with Textpattern release. Localhost with PHP 8.5.1 does exactly the same. But first I need to step away from the computer for a moment.
That was working correctly yesterday afternoon when I last tested. Maybe this changeset broke it all. I am going to see if I can revert that.

Re: Feedback: Textpattern CMS 4.9.0 released
I’m seeing this too. It’s now requesting multiple height values from SLIR, so where previously I had the following folders:
w400-c4x3
w800-c3x3
w1200-c2x3it’s now creating the following folders:
w400-h600-c4x3
w400-h4032-c4x3
w400-h8064-c4x3
w800-h600-c3x3
w800-h4032-c3x3
w800-h8064-c3x3
w1200-h600-c2x3
w1200-h4032-c2x3
w1200-h8064-c2x3Philippe’s diagnosis seems right. Reverting to the previous state restores prior functionality.

Re: Feedback: Textpattern CMS 4.9.0 released
Nuts. Making valueless heights seemed to be working in my tests. So it seems to be always adding heights now when they’re not wanted. That’s a drag, sorry. Does height="0" silence it as a workaround?
Will issue a patch/reversion that you can all test properly first.

Re: Feedback: Textpattern CMS 4.9.0 released
A single image code:
<txp:image thumbnail id="169" width="600" quality="100" crop="4x3" alt="a tree in green" />The intrinsic image dimensions are 1500×2000. The resulting browser code:
<img src="http://e-t13.test/images/thumb/w600-h2000-c4x3-q100/169.webp?token=5e25cb544df98e241cf13f4e7e8b199a6242a51ff329dd3493403d3286c8cc41" alt="a tree in green" width="600" height="2000">The stylesheet has img { width: auto; height: auto; }, without that the image would look rather stretched…

Re: Feedback: Textpattern CMS 4.9.0 released
The CSS on my test site must have been overriding the HTML. That is indeed annoying.
Does height="0" shut it off, albeit temporarily?
