Re: Feedback on Textpattern 4.0.5 release
you might check ~/logs/error_log or look in php.ini/phpinfo if a seperate file is set up. If you can’t find it, you better ask txd-support about it (the first issue also probably).
svn diff http://svn.textpattern.com/releases/4.0.4/source/textpattern/include/txp_diag.php http://svn.textpattern.com/releases/4.0.5/source/textpattern/include/txp_diag.php shows the differences between last release and 4.0.5 in case that helps the txd guys troubleshoot the issue.

Re: Feedback on Textpattern 4.0.5 release
I’m curious about the back end branding as well. I’m fine with the fact it’s just logo & color, but I don’t understand where this is done. Can this be done through the txp interface, and I’m just missing it? Or do I literally need to replace /textpattern/txp_img/textpattern.gif?

I would consider the possibility this is not an upgrade issue, it’s a TextDrive issue. Viewing source on your home page a minute ago showed …. 22 | 6.159233 … 22 database requests took over six seconds to render.
It appears you are not on one.textdrive.com, but I see it there with my personal domain. Bad Neighbor Syndrome. I just checked my home page, and 34 requests took 5.866781 seconds to render.
I had to move my business domain elsewhere, as it simply isn’t going to get better until they get “shared containers” up and running, so people can move off those sluggish FreeBSD shared boxes.

Re: Feedback on Textpattern 4.0.5 release
Upgraded 4 txp installs and had some problems with languages in one site and a disappointment in another one…
Will be posting in the troubleshooting forum re anything that might appear… For now it seems that I am 98% up… Congrats to all who contributed on this one!

Yes, you have to physically replace this image file, plus you may change the #branding selectors in the style sheet (textpattern/textpattern.css).

Reid: Useful info. Thanks. I want to clarify. Are you saying that 22 × 6.159 and 34 × 5.866 are equally “bad” performances? Or, are those numbers telling you that your performance on ONE is okay, but my performance on BARCLAY (my server) is “bad”?

34 queries shouldn’t take longer than a fraction of a second. 57 queries in 0.02 seconds is what my site delivers (shared $7.99 hosting, nothing special).

Yes. As wet noted, it should be a fraction of a second on both servers. And this situation fluxes considerably. There are times the render speed is in hundredths of a second. But, IMHO, there are far too many times that it’s over one second. Way over.
I’m just suggesting it’s possible that when you try to go to the diagnostics tab and it “times out,” you may be seeing a symptom of the server, not the application. And there are times of day (those sub-second times) when it may work just fine.

Thanks, Reid and others. I’ve moved to Textdrive with the issue. We’ll see what comes of it.

Well, it’s a great release, but I have to say- the “branding” statement’s a bit misleading. This isn’t much different than previous versions. I’d say both that image folder and the css file are part of the core system, the part that you should be able to just swap out when doing an upgrade and never touch. It’s not like you’d advertise, “Custom Textile tags” via hacking lib/classTextile.php. Anyway, apologies for sounding snitty, I was really hoping for it to be part of the interface (ala Basecamp?).

Re: Feedback on Textpattern 4.0.5 release
I got on another server the message in the diag-tab that some php functions are missing:
phpinfo, phpcredits, escapeshellarg, escapeshellcmd, proc_close, proc_get_status, proc_nice, proc_terminate, virtual, ini_alter, php_ini_scanned_files, memory_get_usage, show_source, mbstring
are they crucial or very important?

Re: Feedback on Textpattern 4.0.5 release
I’m all ears for suggestions re:branding for the next release.
We understand that this is an important issue for agencies and freelancers which provides them with a competitive advantage – this is a target we want to support.
Prior to 4.0.5, changing both the size and the visual appearence of the “branding” area required you to hack a php file. Now this is lifted into a more visible location, but this doesn’t mean it has to stop here.

You can. Just overwrite Textpattern.gif and set new width and stuff in textpattern.css
You only need to hack more if you want something other then a gif file.

Re: Feedback on Textpattern 4.0.5 release
Yes I know, I could replace the gif with another image. But an update of texpattern would replace the logo. Therefore I would prefer a possibility to overwrite the image with css.
Perhaps the hpw_admincss-plugin could be part of the textpattern core with a admin css for very easy customization. This would make this feature really cool. As it is, it remains a little bit tricky.
