Re: Last pre-release: 4.0.4rc1
For the record, I really appreciate the changes to the admin interface. It’s both simplified and more informative <em>and</em>, on top of that, zippier than before. Developers, I applaud you!

Re: Last pre-release: 4.0.4rc1
This is amazing. Cheers to the devs.
It’s impressive that it’s only a minor release, but there has been so much progress since 3.0.3.
Awesome work.

Re: Last pre-release: 4.0.4rc1
aarplane, I assume you mean 4.0.3?
In any event, I agree solidly. Cheers to the devs and all the folks submitting patches, etc etc. Great work, and it’s nice to see TXP evolving like this.

Re: Last pre-release: 4.0.4rc1
Mary, great job on the interface semantics. Just a couple of things I still notice…
Admin/Users
- The header “Add new authors” should be Add New Authors
Admin/Preferences
- Under “Publish” section — “Daylight Savings” should be Daylight savings?
- ditto — “Accept comments” should be Accept comments?
Admin/Preferences/Advanced Preferences
- The “link” section header should be Link
- Under the “Admin” section — “Send Last-Modified header” should be Send Last-Modified header? (note “Last-Modified” would ideally be italicised)
- There’s a lot of questions that trail with a parenthetical note; for example: “Use ISO-8859-1 encoding in e-mails sent? (Default is UTF-8)”. These should more accurately be written as Use ISO-8859-1 encoding in e-mails sent (default is UTF-8)?. If you don’t want to do that, then you need to put ending punctuation in the parenthetical note; e.g. (Default is UTF-8.). But again, having the question mark at the end of the entire phrase is more accurate (and more visibly a question).
- Under “Publish” section — “Update Ping-o-matic” and “title_no_widow” needs a question mark at the end.
I think that’s it, but I could have missed a couple, I’m in a rush.

Re: Last pre-release: 4.0.4rc1
Thanks Destry. Some of those were only changed in en-GB and not en-US, for whatever reason. They should be all fixed in a few moments…

Re: Last pre-release: 4.0.4rc1
It was mentioned before, but there are still some missing translation ‘hooks’ especially in the tag builder. It would be nice to have localisations up to date at the 4.0.4 release.
Missing translations in the tagbuilder:
- searchall
- searhsticky
- offset
- pageby
- sort
- pgonly
- allowoverride
- sort
- include_default
- default_title
- exclude
- class
- active_class
- this_section
- recent_comments (text for label)
- Related Articles (text for label)
- flavor
- format
- n (? css tag builder)
- format
- media
- rel
- linkclass
- filename
- showalways
kees (nl translation)
… and to all nl and be users: shall we meet on this still barren and empty spot for nl translation refinement suggestions and comments?

Re: Last pre-release: 4.0.4rc1
Browsed around after install of 4.0.4rc1.
Received an error message when choosing ‘Edit Raw CSS’. Instead of noting it immediately (doh), tried to add a new selector and saved it. Worked. Exited and re-entered Style; re-chose Edit Raw CSS and no error message.
Message was something like an ‘undefined offset’ in line 234 (almost certain) of css.php (less certain but confident).
(Logged out; relaunched and re-entered raw CSS editor – works fine).
Install was an update of a recent 4.0.4 rev but all plugins disabled. Very simple site for testing.

Re: Last pre-release: 4.0.4rc1
On the diagnostic tab at patetech.info (hosted at Dreamhost), I get the following error messages:
- some_php_functions_disabled: exec,system,dl,passthru,chown,shell_exec,popen,proc_open
- site_url_mismatch: www.patetech.info
- clean_url_untested
I understand the second message because I logged in at www.patetech.info but I would question if this is helpful or not. The first message seems straight forward enough. The third one I can only just guess about. All of these include the little question mark button to the right but no further information is given when clicking on anything of them.

Re: Last pre-release: 4.0.4rc1
When trying to do a fresh install on a new site of mine I get this message.
“1. Duplicate entry ’1-path_to_site’ for key 1
There were 1 errors during the installation. You can ask for help in the Textpattern forums.”

Re: Last pre-release: 4.0.4rc1
comment notification in r1896 delivers link via email looking like this
http://mysite.com/textpattern/?event=discuss&step=discuss_edit&discussid=25
this gives me a 404 – it works if it reads:
http://mysite.com/textpattern/index.php?event=discuss&step=discuss_edit&discussid=25

Re: Last pre-release: 4.0.4rc1
@michaelkpate: ‘clean_url_untested’ means TXP is unable to test whether clean URLs are working, because it is not allowed to use the ‘allow_url_fopen’ function (related to the first error you get). Doesn’t mean that clean URLs don’t work, just that TXP can’t test if they do, so you’d have to test it yourself.
@FireFusion: “Duplicate entry ‘1-path_to_site’ for key 1”
I think it is caused by this line in txpsql.php which sets the TXP version to 1.0rc4 (instead of 4.0.4):
<code>$create_sql[] = “INSERT INTO `”.PFX.“txp_prefs` VALUES (1, ‘version’, ‘1.0rc4’, 2, ‘publish’, ‘text_input’, 0)”;</code>
And that low version number probably causes ‘update/_to_1.0.0.php’ to be run at some point which tries to insert the ‘path_to_site’ even though it already exists.
- either set the right version in ‘txpsql.php’ (line 322) or
- change line 219 in update/_to_1.0.0.php to <code> if (safe_field(‘name’,‘txp_prefs’,“name=‘path_to_site’”) === false) {</code>
@jayrope: can be fixed by changing line 541 in publish/comment.php into:
<code>$out .= hu.‘textpattern/index.php?event=discuss&step=discuss_edit&discussid=’.$discussid.”\r\n”;</code>

When renaming a form, no detection of duplicate names is done (when you create a new form, duplicate names are detected)

Re: Last pre-release: 4.0.4rc1
I dropped the clean_url_untested error for now. The site url mismatch message now ignores a ‘www.’ prefix, and some known functions are ignored when checking the disable_functions setting.
