Another pre-release, 4.0-20060831.zip

@Skubidu

Same resolution on my PowerBook, browser window about 1050px wide. Horizontal space is way more important: like, having the article title not wrapping to one word per line, same for the comments content.
No problems with scrolling: spacebar or page-up page-down arrows :-).

@mary or Sencer
(minor nitpick)
Is that my set up or something, but are the links in the headers of those tables written with ampersands instead of having them encoded (amp;) ? should be encoded for html validity…

Maybe those links could be slightly styled to look more like little buttons ?

4.0.3 had one line per article if the title was short enough… I can see why you’d need to go to two lines to fit all the new columns… but three? Sure, it fits better on 800px wide screens, but when the edit/view is next to ID (instead of below) and I resize to 800px, it still fits without a vertical scrollbar and automatically takes three lines because the date wraps, but I guess 800px users are used to that sort of thing happening.

Some other things I noticed:

Comments tab: the “email, website, ip” headline doesn’t fit on a single line. The “IP” part wraps to the next line. Replacing that with a single headline as Skubidu suggests would solve that.
Comments tab: the ID is filled with zeros at the beginning up to a fixed length, unlike on the other tabs (like articles), where this isn’t done.
Files and links tabs: they have headlines called “file category” and “link category”, but the image and article tab just call it “category” (just ‘category’ is fine, I think).

That’s because, for whatever reason (I think only Dean would know…), that’s what the actual id numbers are saved as in the database.

Let’s take the Articles tab, the Title already links you to Edit mode, then I would make the ID a link to View mode. We can follow the same logic on all the other tabs.

I use this beta release for this site and there’s still some problem with the “Send Last-Modified header” option. If it is set to yes, then any modification on the image captions (which I use for a brief comment of the images itselves) are not reflected automatically on the site.

I haven’t tried with articles, but if I change the image, then the modification is fine. Only caption, as far as I know, is affected.
If I set notification option to “no”, then it’s ok, as usual…

Another thing that is not a bug, but a feature lacking: when I update an existing image, the alt text is mantained, but not the caption text. Can this be fixed? If you manage a portfolio is hard to remember to copy the caption before updating the image and then past it again. Also name input field is affected.

Thanks, bye!

I seem to be unable to view a Sticky article as an individual article (works in article_list mode though), never had a problem with this before. Tried disable all plugins, still no luck.. Anyone else encountered this? Shall I post a more detailed bug report here somewhere..?

Yes please, start a new thread in this forum. We’ll need to see the article tag(s) you’re using to display the individual article.

Is anyone else’s release presenting a 1200px (or so) wide fixed width? (in Firefox)
Its not happening in Safari. Haven’t tested on the pc browsers.

I looked above and saw no mention of it.

I noticed the issue when I resized my browser window. :)

Anton · 2006-09-15 17:10:59

zem: ok, i’ll try to write something up. ~~just one question: am i safe to downgrade from the “cutting edge” textpattern directory (which i run now) to the official 4.0.3 release? no harm would be done to the database tables, right?~~ ok, i can confirm now that there were no troubles in “downgrading” to 4.0.3 final and that the problem went away – i can view stickies as separate articles again.

That doesn’t help us fix the problem, if there is one.

patience, i’ll try to post a bug report..

placenamehere · 2006-09-16 03:52:50

not sure how long this has been an issue but I saw it while testing 4.0-20060831 on a new local server configuration (MAMP on port 8888)…

BUG: when serving files from a domain with a port # specified (more accurately when $siteurl has a port number) the resulting Atom feeds are invalid because id is not a valid TAG (problem: the extra : delimiter is throwing things out of wack).

the offending code is in publish/atom.php:

<code>
//Atom feeds with mail or domain name
$dn = explode(‘/’,$siteurl);
$mail_or_domain = ($use_mail_on_feeds_id)? eE($blog_mail_uid):$dn⁰;
$out[] = tag(‘tag:’.$mail_or_domain.’,’.$blog_time_uid.’:’.$blog_uid.(($section)? ‘/’.$section:’‘).(($category)? ‘/’.$category:’‘),‘id’);
</code>

I don’t know enough about atom without doing some digging to know what the appropriate solution to the problem is (escaping the colon somehow, lopping it off.. does this string ‘mean’ or reused for anything?)

report install 4.0-20060831

preface
i needed to manually put in the config.php from my official 4.0.3 install.
testing mode: enabled.
errors: none.

report
frontend:
all working incl. plugins aaa_dates 0.11, upm_image 0.4.4 and zem_prblock 0.1

backend:
i modified the textpattern.css to suit editing pages, forms and styles on my small laptop screen 1024 × 768. see the changed entries as displayed below.

code size in forms
<code>
code, .code {
font: 0.9em Monaco, “Courier New”, monospace;
}
</code>

form window sizes page and css, added textarea#form
<code>
textarea#html {
margin-top: 6px;
width: 600px;
height: 440px;
}
</code>
<code>
textarea#css {
width: 600px;
height: 460px;
}
</code>
<code>
/* new entry */
textarea#form {
width: 500px;a
height: 330px;
}
</code>

idea of this: not having to scroll other than in form itself, save button below remains visible without page scrolling.

other
changing three into two lines per articles in the article list would be perfect for smaller screens.
<code>“edit” / “view”</code> under ID, instead of
<code>“edit”
“view”</code>

quest
is there a preliminary alphabetical tag listing as a pdf already?
i can’t access the wiki due to a display bug of my outdated but main browser mozilla 1.2, pardon me.
but i’d be willing to help list the new features for a txp3.pdf or whatever.

THANX VERY MUCH TO THE DEVELOPERS TEAM FOR ALL YOUR EFFORTS & NEW FEATURES!

@jayrope: Upgrade to Seamonkey – newest Mozilla Suite.

Few things:

The tagbuilder for RSS still shows 0.92 in the “flavor” label. Nit-picky, but only “flavor” and “format” labels are lowercase, whereas the others are properly capitalized.
I have an ampersand in my tagline, so the Atom feed throws up an XML-parsing error. The RSS one converts it to an entity. Atom output: <subtitle type="text">Photography & Design</subtitle>
It’d be really nice if the collapsible menus (at least in the write area) would remember if they were expanded or not after saving an article. EDIT: I just disabled JS since the menus kept collapsing, but they’re hidden with the regular CSS, not a JS-loaded-CSS file (document.write(‘<link rel… />’);). Could this be changed?

Aside from that, I love the new tags and attributes, especially thumbnail for article_image and this_section for categories. Excellent work!

EDIT: Another Atom parsing error. Tag used (from tagbuilder): <txp:link_feed_link flavor="atom" format="a" label="XML" title="Links Feed" />. The odd, garbled error:

<blockquote> Notice: Undefined variable: thisauthor in W:\www\txp\textpattern\publish\atom.php on line 158 Notice: Undefined variable: feed_time in W:\www\txp\textpattern\publish\atom.php on line 162 Notice: Undefined variable: thisauthor in W:\www\txp\textpattern\publish\atom.php on line 158 Notice: Undefined variable: feed_time in W:\www\txp\textpattern\publish\atom.php on line 162 Notice: Undefined variable: thisauthor in W:\www\txp\textpattern\publish\atom.php on line 158 Notice: Undefined variable: feed_time in W:\www\txp\textpattern\publish\atom.php on line 162 Notice: Undefined variable: thisauthor in W:\www\txp\textpattern\publish\atom.php on line 158 Notice: Undefined variable: feed_time in W:\www\txp\textpattern\publish\atom.php on line 162

The links are the default, Textbook/TXP resources/Textpattern too. Again, the RSS feed works fine for <samp>http://localhost/txp/rss/?area=link</samp>

According to the Textbook, class has been added to article_image, but I got an undefined tag notice – taghandlers.php is still missing it.

Also, when the class attribute is added to the file, can an html_id attribute be added (while you’re there) like with txp:thumbnail and txp:image?

edit: Guess it didn’t make it into the zip, but I just found the class attribute.

edit2: article_image is missing this ($class ? ' class="'.$class.'"' : ''). for both if($escape == html) and else, so it doesn’t work.
