[plugin] [ORPHAN] cnk_versioning

shagwana · 2014-01-27 21:10:28

Yet more progress…

It looks like the manual upload is taking files from within the textpattern/ install but the auto upload screen refresh is taking them from the www/ (root folder). I figure this should be fixable!.

shagwana · 2014-01-27 21:20:06

Did it, well after all my poking about above it looks like all I needed to do was set $CNK_VER_OUTPUT_PATH = ‘textpattern/’

This points it to the textpattern default install and then the public page can find the files!

To be more exact, the $CNK_VER_OUTPUT_PATH should be set to the computers path for the location of the CSS, Pages and Forms folder. eg: ‘/wamp/www/’ to locate ‘c:/wamp/www’.

After all my diddlings, there is still a known bug (above where you need to add _CSS to something)

Spent 30 mins to make plugin work with 4.5.4 by lurking entire topic.

Instruction

Create “_templates” folder in TXP web root.

Create “css”, “forms” and “pages” folders inside “_templates”.

Install plugin from this link

Open plugin file in Admin panel

Replace line $CNK_VER_OUTPUT_PATH = ‘admin/’; with $CNK_VER_OUTPUT_PATH = ‘_templates/’;

Click Save

Enable plugin
WARN: do not click on “Manually trigger Form, Page & CSS update” – PLUGIN DOES NOT CHECK EMPTY FILES. IT WILL ERASE ALL YOUR TEMPLATES INSIDE DB.

Go to templates section and click on Versioning tab

Click on Install

Ensure your site in Testing mode and visit it once

Done.

Documentation will save this world.

I’ll throw in my 2 cents on this since i’m using this on just about every site now.

- I’ve found that giving the path from your DOCUMENT_ROOT works more times than if I give the path as relative, usually i get the “xxx folder is not writable”. SO what I do is have the path setup as:

$CNK_VER_OUTPUT_PATH = rtrim(getenv('DOCUMENT_ROOT'),'/') . '/textpattern/_templates/versioning/'; //e.g. 'textpattern/_templates/versioning/'

- before your enable the plugin make sure your production mode is in “live”, this way when you do the install the plugin wont nuke all your forms/pages/css and leave you with a blank page.

Once your ready for development switch from “live” to “testing” to update the database with your template files.

Thanks you very much @ecklesroad!

I have just installed cnk_versioning in my recently installed Textpattern (dev, rev5854) web with success :-)

There was an error in the php code, easily to solve. Global variable $CNK_VER_EXT is not defined in cnk_ver_push_css function.

Line 244 should be:

	global $CNK_VER_OUTPUT_PATH, $CNK_VER_EXT, $CNK_VER_EXT_CSS, $CNK_VER_IGNORED_NAMES;

I just installed the plugin and
1) nothing has happened in terms of writing my files to a directory
2) there is no readme/help message as there was as i recall when i tried a few years ago.

Is this plugin safe to run… i am on Textpattern · 4.5.7

PS is there another option to use external files for forms, pages, css etc?

You can try rah_flat.
cnk_versioning still works on TXP 4.5.7, but I think you should consider its development abandoned.

ok. trying it. but how does one get the db form/page files outputted as flat files?

This plugin seems to only import:
“Rah_flat imports normal, flat files from a specified directory to your Textpattern database.”

so how do we propagate the flat files?

Yes.

Manually, it doesn’t have exporting features at the moment.

I’ve recently used hcg_templates for exporting forms and pages to files.

I have never heard of this plugin-in. In all my searches via google and on the forum i have never come across this plugin?
Wonder why?

Interesting thread about that theme mechanism.
