Feedback to: Textpattern CMS 4.6.0 released

Save weirdness on the Preferences Panel, but only when using the keyboard.

STR (using the keyboard only!)

load the Prefs panel, take note of which sub panel is active
switch to another sub panel
modify a pref (e.g. a radio button)
press Return / Enter (this triggers the submit action)
observe which sub panel is active

The preference is saved OK, but the sub panel in step 5 above is not the sub panel which was activated in step 2 and modified in step 3. Instead you return to the sub panel in step 1. If the same set of actions is performed using the mouse (clicking the Save button) , after step 4, you still have the sub panel activated in step 2 as the active sub panel

IOW using the keyboard, the “remember last active sub panel” does’t happen. I guess because that action is triggered onclick ?

(seen with both Safari 10 and Firefox dev edition, TXP 4.6 and 4.7.0-dev)

In the config.php file I use define('ihu', '//static.domain.com/'); to serve static images from either http or https requests.

This works correctly on the website, however since 4.6 images in the atom and rss feeds (using rah_custom_feed) now output with the site URL first, so: http://www.domain.com//static.domain.com/images/01.jpg etc.

Has there been a change in the way feeds are parsed? Or is there something that needs updating in the plugin’s code?

if 4.6.1 hits the streets before too much longer we’ll be at version parity with WordPress.

Hehe, there’ll be eight security patches to WP before the week is out :-P

Thanks, should be fixed in 4.6.1. I guess, nobody has ever navigated these panes by keyboard before. :-)

Confirmed, thanks for the report. Our replace_relative_urls() is the culprit but a) it doesn’t seem to have changed since 4.5.7, and b) quite how to fix it I don’t know. Anyone?

To be honest, it is a bit of a masochistic exercise… (still, easier than to use that bizarrely functioning trapped on the windows laptop happen to have at hand).
Thanks for fixing. Works like it should now!

Hello,

Just a observation about preferences pages. When using a big screen, you don’t find that the space between labels and fields are too big ? you may really attention to link the right label at the right field.

philwareham · 2016-09-27 13:19:12

@sacripant

It’s a bit of a compromise yes, but the 2 column grid span (as opposed to the 3 column span we use now) is too squashed in my opinion. I personally don’t find the longer width hard to track.

I certainly don’t disagree with you (and others, Ruud amongst them have noted the same) – even though I use a narrower window, and I have Hive ‘zoomed in’ in my browser (larger text size).

I have this snippet in my custom.css file (for who I use Hive):

.txp-prefs-group { max-width: 50em; } /* adjust to taste */

philwareham · 2016-09-27 13:27:02

I can put that rule into the code if you all find it too wide right now. Let me know ASAP as we want to get 4.6.1 out in next few days.

I’ve remade an interpretation of the Classic admin theme in latest 4.7.0-dev and 4.6.1-dev branches. Give it a spin if you want.

Awesome to have it back. Strangely enough though after getting used to Hive of lately it really looks dated. Especially when it comes to something like Page Templates – the textarea seems so narrow now compared to Hive.

Yes, good solution.
Personnally I just fix a flex-basis and remove flex-grow for label

.txp-prefs-group .txp-form-field-label { flex: 0 1 20em; }

and add a :hover effect on form-field for better usability

.txp-prefs-group .txp-form-field:hover { 
    background-color: #F7F7F7; 
    box-shadow: 0 0 0 5px #F7F7F7;;
}

philwareham · 2016-09-27 14:47:24

OK, I’ve put an upper limit on the pref group widths now to make it more readable. Thanks all!

I just want to say that I love the way the text field in the write tab expands to fit the length of what it is written. I always felt that the traditional two vertical scroll bars (browser and text field) were messy and confusing whenever I needed to edit things quickly.

It’s the little things that make our lives easier. Thanks!

Could we have the same functionality for the presentation fields?
