Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] upm_savenew: "Save New" button for articles and forms.

hi mary,
Started using your plugin and it looks great.
there’re a couple of small problems however. On saving new the plugin does not save all fields.
ie it does not save the URL-only title inserting the default instead
it publishes the article on the same date/time as the article which was edited. (even if I click the “Reset time to now”)

I hope I made sense here…:)

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] upm_savenew: "Save New" button for articles and forms.

The url-only title wouldn’t be changed, you have to change it (just clean it out). I added some JavaScript to the plugin to try and clear that field out for you, so make sure JavaScript is turned on. Are you certain that you aren’t getting any JavaScript errors? This part works fine for me.

The date part is odd. All that the plugin is is a button that passes a value telling Textpattern it is a new post, so that should be changable. I’ll check it out later and see what I can figure out.

Okay, make sure you gave your post a new title, otherwise Textpattern will generate the same url title as the original article. :)

I can see the date thing now, and I see why. Fixed.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] upm_savenew: "Save New" button for articles and forms.

Mary, I love this plugin. Next best thing to a revisions module…

BUT. Sometimes the save-new doesn’t show up on the write page ok on the forms page. Can’t figure out why. Conflict with bas_image_select or rss_show_advanced-options ?

[edit] the latest bas_image_select is the problem! RATS, both plugins are indispensible. Save_new should be rolled into the basic TXP install, It’s pretty fundamental.

Cool.
A small thing, but I’m glad that’s fixed…
I second the call to merge this function into the core of TXP.

Thanks Mary.

(Edit: that’s not the case anymore. See above for the download. :) -Mary)

Also have got the problem with the bas_image_select plugin, anyone got both plugins working together?

Make sure you have the newest copies of both plugins.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] upm_savenew: "Save New" button for articles and forms.

Mary,

I just discovered this plug and think it is great!! definitely a required plugin!! I think it is missing an important feature though! When you are logged in as a non-publisher/editor user, and open an article that you do not have priveleges to modify, neither the save or save new buttons appear. Natch the save should not appear because you do not have permission to modify the original article – but if the save new appeared it would allow editors/publishers to design templates without the risk of writers saving over them. I hope I have explained this correctly. What do you think?

Edit- I achieved this by changing this function in the plugin:
<code>
function upm_savenew_article($buffer) { $find = ‘</td></tr></table></form>’; $replace = ‘<input type=“submit” name=“publish” value=”’.gTxt(‘save_new’).’” class=“publish” onclick=“return upm_savenew_check(\‘article\’);” />’;

return str_replace($find, $replace.$find, $buffer);
}
</code>

Though I don’t know if that was the wrong thing to do…

I’m not sure if that should be possible or not, being able to save new off of someone else’s article. While I can see the use of that, I can see where you wouldn’t want that either. Guess I’ll need to add a setting for this.

But I don’t see how that could be avoided. Textpattern already allows someone to open an article they do not have permission to modify – the plugin just saves the step of having to select-copy-paste (and sets the other variables too of course). TXP doesn’t have permissions for sections/categories – that’s why I suggested this plugin for the core – having a Save As is a huge boon to productivity…

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] upm_savenew: "Save New" button for articles and forms.

Just an info: in the current dev, the addition of tabindex=“4” to the save button means upm_savenew no longer matches the search string. Include tabindex=“4” in the search string and it works again ( one could also making save new tabindex=“5”).
