Re: Feedback to: Textpattern 4.5.0 released
Hello, while my 4.4.1 installation of works nicely, I get the following php error message when trying to update to 4.5 :
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '=', expecting ')' in /homez.13/nulleparu/www/textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php on line 869
I don’t use any extension and the site works again when rolling back to version 4.4.1
Thanks for reading
Oops! replying to myself:
OVH shared servers are set to interprete PHP 4 by default unless something else is specified. I just added a line in the .htaccess file (SetEnv PHP_VER 5) and now it works.
Sorry

Try to zoom in or increase text-size as in mlsmith’s screenshot. That breadcrumb bar, and for instance, the drop down menus get bit misaligned like that when changing base text-size from the 16 px, scaling or zooming in.

Re: Feedback to: Textpattern 4.5.0 released
Hi,
I noticed that <txp:article pgonly=“1” /> behaviour has changed. For some reason I used this attribute sometimes with an article tag together with another status=“sticky” article tag with pgonly=“0”. The sticky articles were used to show lists of ‘normal’ articles in the same section. Before 4.5 clicking on such a link did display the status=“4” article even whith the pgonly=“1” attribute. From now on nothing is displayed anymore (as it should I think). Workarounds are not that difficult, but remembering where I used this odd functionality somewhat more.
Apart from that I’m very happy with 4.5!
Looking forward to a MLP upgrade too.

Looks like Chrome rendering slightly wrong when at enlarged/reduced sizes – scaling is totally fine in latest webkit builds though, which is supposed to be identical rendering engine. Not much of an issue, but I’ll keep an eye on this when we do 4.6. It’s still an improvement over the old admin themes which didn’t scale well at all.

The duplicated comments issue – do you have ‘Automatically append comments to articles’ turned on in the prefs? If so, turn that off.
I’m going to discuss with the other devs whether we should even keep that pref in future – I guess it’s some legacy option from way back in Textpattern history (which I never turn on myself).

Re: Feedback to: Textpattern 4.5.0 released
Phil, the option is on by default. Removing it will break existing sites, unless you can somehow magically inject new tags to correct locations on the users’ templates, or how the magical comments are no longer appearing magically.
That said, did anyone actually do clean test installs, running through the setup progress couple times before packaging 4.5, lol. Based on the errors it seems that the answer is no. Otherwise you would have noticed the error right away on the landing page.
I suppose no one in the community did either, including me. Haven’t installed Textpattern in 5 years or so using the setup progress.
I’m not actually that surprised about the human errors. Since the templates are managed separately and copied in manually after. Couldn’t be bad in my opinion to make the template management bit easier for Phil. Since keeping up version numbers in some source file is hard, that must be total hell. Some awkward SQL export mangled in PHP, ugh.

Is that pref on by default nowadays? I just did a clean install from Txp4.5 and I think that pref was already set to ‘off’?
EDIT: yes, I can confirm that option is always set to ‘off’ in new installs of Textpattern (I do remember a long time ago it used to be default ‘on’ which confused the hell out of me at the time, but now it’s not).

This was me, four times to be exact. Once for each archive format, each for a fresh install and for the update. I’m glad you find this funny.

In real life this is done by a git pull and a plugin. We think that we failed at the merge for yet unknown reasons.

It was Chrome in Ubuntu 12.04. I don’t believe that I was zooming in at all.

It was my bad…I turned it on but it was off by default.

My bad. It seems that its now off in the base SQL dump, eh. Btw, why aren’t those changes done in updates files?

Re: Feedback to: Textpattern 4.5.0 released
Many thanks to the developers for callbacks article_posted and article_saved.
If possible, please add callback: articles_deleted and categories_deleted
ps: If you use plugin rss_unlimited_categories, please do not update to Textpattern 4.5, because that plugin does not work.
aks_cron : Cron inside Textpattern | aks_article : extended article_custom tag
aks_cache : cache for TxP | aks_dragdrop : Drag&Drop categories (article, link, image, file)

We’d rather refrain from making destructive changes to preferences on existing sites during updates.

Nope, the problem is at the painting level (graphics layer, that is Chrome specific). I’ve noticed that more often that Chrome has some small discrepancies when painting borders; it is less visible on OS X, but on linux it is much more noticeable.
