Please verify that the file system location given in the “File directory path” advanced preference is definitely the one where these files are stored.

Yes false alarm. Updated the site earlier today and thought I had entered the correct path to /files….oops! Thanks wet.

Set a file in the Files tab to “hidden” or “pending” then use the Download link on the left of the File List screen (or click its hyperlinked name on the File Edit screen). On my site it triggers a public-side 404 message and I get a tonne of TXP errors on screen (“Article tags cannot be used outside an article context”) because it failed to process the file_download.
EDIT: This may actually be related to the behaviour Mary fixed (at my behest, gulp) a looooong time ago, I’m not sure.

Good. This is the expected behaviour.
and I get a tonne of TXP errors on screen (“Article tags cannot be used outside an article context”) because it failed to process the file_download.
Ugly, but I cannot see this happen with the default page templates. All I see is just the familiar error_default page.

I guess you’re right.

A minor point. On the “Write” tab, under “Advanced Options” all the “help” links are alongside the titles except for “Override form” which for some reason is placed after the “select”. Looks a little untidy methinks but it is even more of a pain in the arse if you are trying to do a re-style. ;)

Also, whilst you are there, and this is more a request than anything wrong, any chance of giving the “More” link paragraph (under “Textile Help”) a class of it’s own please?

About glz_custom_fields, is there now a non- hack work-around to get more than ten custom fields? In 4.0.6, it was necessary to modify the publish.php file:
<?
function getCustomFields()
{
global $prefs;
$out = array();
$i = 0;
$custom_fields_num = count(preg_grep("(^custom_\d+_set$)", array_keys($prefs)));
while ($i < $custom_fields_num) {
$i++;
if (!empty($prefs['custom_'.$i.'_set'])) {
$out[$i] = strtolower($prefs['custom_'.$i.'_set']);
}
}
return $out;
}
?>
Is this still the preferred method? Would something like this ever make it into core?
Thanks!

Yeah, I second that. Not that I don’t like hacking and all…

Wrong place to mention this, but isn’t it about time we got a “save new” button on the default install.

I’ve changed this but I would need a few cross browser tests for any jumping form elements upon toggling “Advanced” options and such, especially with edge cases, i.e. cases where the contents of select options or input boxes exceeds the element’s width.

Please refrain from off-topic postings. We are trying to build a final release here, and adding noise to the signal does not help.

Thanks Robert. I’ll give it a few tests with different browsers when I’ve uploaded iit. I’ll post back.

Re: Feedback to: Help us test the release candidate for the upcoming 4.0.7
I have a question about the new template parser. I’ve built a handful of sites that rely, sometimes heavily, upon asy_wondertag’s tags-as-attributes feature. Since the new parser has this feature built in, will the wondertag plugin stop working? It’s great to have the feature by default now, but I’m wondering how much template rewriting I should plan for as sites get upgraded.
I’d test this myself, but I’m wrapped up in a high-priority project all weekend. I can’t be the only one facing this situation, though. If anyone can find an answer you’d be helping out a lot of wondertag users. Thanks!
