[plugin] [ORPHAN] cxc_templates : front-end template management

Yeah, you cannot “delete” a theme if you mean get rid of all pages, forms, styles, and plugins. You can only get rid of the folder in the tpl folder.
And thanks for liking the templates :-)

Great plugin!

After exporting I couldn’t edit / delete it via ftp.
I don’t know if it’s only my provider misconfiguration – anyway I added chmod at end of export function.

Now I can edit theme with Komodo and then import, and it’s way more convenient than before. Thanks.

Hi!
I have a clean installation of the latest TXP and cxc_templates.
I imported a template Zip file and at the end I got an error:

Internal error: unknown column 'is_default' in field list

After that error, there is a “Successful installation” message but the template doesn’t appear on the site and there is no template cover in the admin panel (“No Preview Image Available”)

After some digging, it seems cxc_templates assumes I have a “is_default” field in the Section database. I think that field only appears after installing the MLP plugin (which I don’t need):
Any ideas on how to get rid of the problem?

Thanks in advance!

That field was removed from the txp_section table in Textpattern 4.5.0. Your best bet is to hunt through the plugin code and eradicate any reference to is_default.

If your PHP is as good as my knitting, you may have to enlist the help of someone to do that for you. I’ve just whizzed through the code and found all references so here’s my (untested) take on it:

Line 516 should read:

'fields'    =>  'name, page, css, in_rss, on_frontpage, searchable, title',

Line 519 should be:

'sql'  =>  '`page` = "%s", `css` = "%s", `in_rss` = "%d", `on_frontpage` = "%d", `searchable` = "%d", `title` = "%s"',

In function writeSectionFiles (at line 682) remove line 687 that reads:

$is_default = "is_default=0\n";

and remove line 695:

fwrite($f,$is_default);

and remove line 704:

$is_default = "is_default=".$row['is_default']."\n";

and remove line 712:

fwrite($f,$is_default);

Alter line 866 (which will be line 862 if you’ve removed the previous 4 lines!) to:

$rs = safe_row('page, css, in_rss, on_frontpage, searchable, title', $config['table'], 'name="'.$templateName.'"');

Remove line 976 (aka 972 if above four lines have been removed):

'is_default'    => 0,

and finally alter line 992 (aka 988) to:

$sectionLine = sprintf($sql, $sectionValues['page'], $sectionValues['css'], $sectionValues['in_rss'], $sectionValues['on_frontpage'], $sectionValues['searchable'], $sectionValues['title']);

As I say, totally untested, but if you hack all that out the plugin should run. In the absence of cxc, someone will probably adopt this one at some point and do a proper job of the above.

Hope that helps.

Uuhh, no posting by Doc/cxc since almost two years. That’s probably reason enough to see the plugin as a member of the Orphaned family. I’ll beam it over there.

I fiddled around and this might be helpful:
https://github.com/perlmonkey/txp-cxc-templates

I briefly tested it to be working – just copy and paste this as your cxc_templates plugin: cxc_templates_v0.4.5.txt

rcpinheiro · 2013-01-15 11:26:47

Thanks stephan!
The error just went away with your version but still no template preview available and, most important, didn’t change the site theme.
Oh well, back to the old ways copying files to and fro, I never thought installing themes on TXP was such a hassle…

I recomment looking at hcg_templates or mem_templates which I can’t seem to find a thread for.

As far as I understood cxc’s plugin introduction mem_template has never been publicly released. Yet it’s still available at Michael’s bitbucket.

I’m looking at mem_templates now – I really like it because it includes plugins & sections – still testing though

mem_templates has the same problem with the “is_default”.
hcg_templates works :)

You are right – I posted a txp 4.5 fix for mem_templates here a few days ago – it seems to be working fine for me
