rah_post_versions: Revision control for articles, forms and pages

TJ · 2010-06-20 01:10:40

Hi!

OK, when I click on Extensions/Post Versions/ I see the list of saved versions.

When I click on a saved version that is in the “Write” category (as opposed to “Forms” for example) and then click on any of the saved versions, I receive the errors I posted before.

The errors show up on the top of the screen above the menu bar.

Here is a couple of address bar locations.

textpattern/?event=rah_post_versions&step=rah_post_versions_view&group_id=3&id=36

and another…

textpattern/?event=rah_post_versions&step=rah_post_versions_view&group_id=2&id=2

Thanks.
TJ

I see. Then that probably means that the revision somehow saved an array, which means that the form had an array in it (inputs with name="foo[]").

What plugin you have installed?

Anyway, I probably have to add check if the post data contains an array, and if so, loop that too.

I know it’s a lot, but I can’t help myself…

You’ll probably want me to cycle through the plugins and see if I can find the “one” causing the array. And, yes, I’ll be happy to.

Thanks,
TJ

Released version 0.6. Changelog:

Fixed: instances of missing HTML escaping (POST keys).
Fixed: now the plugin checks if the revisioned data contains an array (<input name="foo[bar]" /> etc) and shows it correctly. Thank you for reporting, TJ.

More info and downloads

Heh, no need to :-) I was just wondering what could possibly have added it there. Arrays are valid data that forms can send, and It’s really no plugins fault, except rah_post_versions’. From those atleast rss_unlimited_categories submits arrays.

v0.6 should fix the issues. Let me know if it works.

Hi again!

I’ve gone through all plugins and shut them down one at a time. Then I shut groups with dependencies (i.e. libraries etc.) Then I shut all plugins down. (except for rah_post_versions, of course)

I still received the errors. Only on the write tab (so far).

I use <if_custom_field> in my write tab. Let me check if that might affect anything.

Thanks,
TJ

Even with the new version 0.6?

Hello Jukka,

That fixed it!

Thank you very much.

No worries. Hope you didn’t have too much extra trouble with disabling the plugins and such.

My friend, let me just echo what’s been said on this thread…
This plugin is really a great contribution to textpattern. With this and some of the new additions to textpattern,
I think textpattern is poised to rocket up with exponential growth!

My two cents…

Released version 0.7. Changes:

Fix/change: Diff tool shows/compares array data as blocks. Array’s are imploded and values are seperated with line breaks.

If you are asking if it allows you to run multiple enviroments of one install (site), then no. It’s a revision manager; it stores revisions and comes with a revision browser. That sort of development enviroment is not what the plugin is ment to do and is not planned.

If you are asking if saving revision could optinally turned off based on the production status, then why not. That can be implemented.

I’m so sorry about my english … :/

But I think you got it.

Actually, I am thinking for months in a plugin that could offer an online dev/test mode. I’m now always editing my blog templates directly online. I am too lazy to edit on local and then copy/paste/transfer my theme and forms online.

So I was looking for a way to get a restricted environment on my website, where I could freely edit and play with plugins, forms or articles. When all would be ok, I only should have to “publish” the whole thing to get it accessible to everyone (i.e. in production environment).

I think that a versioning system is the first step to get something like this. That’s why I asked you my question. And you answered it well. :)

Thank you, I hope that this post is more readable than my previous one (I tried conditional sentences :/ ).

Hi Grégocentrique:

You could copy your database from production enviroment to local enviroment, do all the work, and then, dump it back to production (or just the necessary tables, like pages and forms).

Or you may want to try with cnk_versioning as a way to editing pages and forms directly as files on the filesystem.

That’s precisely the kind of stuff that I wish to avoid. :)

I’ll try it. Maybe this plugin deserve an online to local transfer. ;)

Thank you!

Maybe this is not what you need, but for ‘shutting down’ the site during development you can use rvm_maintenance.

Thanks. It could be useful to hide the website during (short) modifications.
