its now tuesday..still no plugin?

I can understand everyone’s excitement.

But Gerhard mentioned being very busy and I suspect he’s hit a few glitches with the just released 4.0.6.
It’s understandable he might need more time to ensure everything works as flawless as possible, so let’s be patient :-)

Anyone else tried to activate the plugin and work with its admin tab only to come up with a blank page except for “Restricted Area” at this kind of URL? /textpattern/index.php?event=glz_custom_fields

I’m on TXP 4.0.6 and a slightly post-1.0 version of glz_custom_fields

Maybe you are using php4? If so look here

NickCaldwell · 2008-02-09 12:10:58

Nope, TXP diagnostics report PHP version: 5.2.5. I’m on a Joyent Shared Accelerator so it’s pretty up-to-date.

I’m sorry then, I have no idea what it can be. Hope someone can give better advice

Nick, email me (mmanfre on gmail) the plugin and I’ll send back a fix.

After hours of frustration, I am drawing the line, it’s too much hassle to go around a few lines of code which should be in TXP’s core. Right now the plugin has over 500+ lines of redundant code because of the infamous getCustomFields() which imposes a hard, 10 limit to custom fields. We currently have that glz_custom_fields_article() function which takes care of lists of articles and our custom search, but the problems you have been experiencing with single articles not displaying the custom fields > 10 is related to the preText() function which runs deep, it produces a global available on every single page and yes, it uses getCustomFields(). There might be a way of adding to the array this function puts into GLOBALS, but I don’t have the time to figure this out right now. I remember trying this approach in the past, but because of the sequence of function calls, it’s not always guaranteed that what you are setting in the GLOBALS will be available in the final output.

I would have really liked to release v 1.1 this weekend with all the features on the roadmap – last weekend was just impossible – but I have to disappoint. There have been a tonne of really good contributions and a lot of guys which helped in all the little ways, but I simply didn’t have the time to roll out all the features promised for 1.1. )Actually, the features for 1.0 because I have decided to stop the BETA madness and the first release ever will have been 1.0, this one 1.1 etc.)

I am packaging what I have and putting it out as 1.1, there have been enough little hacks and fixes over the last few weeks, it’s time to have them as part of the main plugin.

I really don’t know when 1.2 will be out, but things should clear up over the next few weeks, this winter was really crazy…

Hi Gerhard, thanks for the update, when roughly do you expect to release 1.1?

Cheers, Lee.

gerhard · 2008-02-10 14:18:06

This is the 1.1. I will update the first post accordingly, the features which made it, the ones that were pushed for 1.2 etc. I’m just updating the help, packaging and e-mailing it to everyone in the list, so hang on : ).

lee · 2008-02-10 14:23:41

Cool, thanks for clarifying.

redbot · 2008-02-10 14:48:21

Thanks for your work Gerhard!
I agree with your decision to release v1.1 even if it comes without all the features in the roadmap.
It will bring anyway some new features so -at least for now – I’ll be happy with it …and in meantime I’m sure we will find some ‘dirty’ way to overcome the current limitations.
Not to mention we could use it in combination with another great plugin (sed_section_fields)
