Re: Feedback to: Textpattern CMS 4.7.0 beta 3 released
I just had an interesting experience with patetech.info. I noticed while upgrading to beta3 that the site was still on PHP5.6. So I went to the Dreamhost Panel and switched it to 7.2. And saw this.
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function eregi() in /home/c6uphucr/patetech.info/sites/site1/admin/setup/987ve3ear56e3f6ba4c5721d403e.php(18) : eval()'d code(23) : eval()'d code:8055 Stack trace: #0 /home/c6uphucr/patetech.info/sites/site1/admin/setup/987ve3ear56e3f6ba4c5721d403e.php(18) : eval()'d code(23) : eval()'d code(8074): detectBot('Mozilla/5.0 (Wi...', NULL, NULL, '', NULL, NULL) #1 /home/c6uphucr/patetech.info/sites/site1/admin/setup/987ve3ear56e3f6ba4c5721d403e.php(18) : eval()'d code(23): eval() #2 /home/c6uphucr/patetech.info/sites/site1/admin/setup/987ve3ear56e3f6ba4c5721d403e.php(18): eval() #3 /home/c6uphucr/patetech.info/textpattern/config.php(5) : eval()'d code(2): include('/home/c6uphucr/...') #4 /home/c6uphucr/patetech.info/textpattern/config.php(5): eval() #5 /home/c6uphucr/patetech.info/index.php(84): include('/home/c6uphucr/...') #6 {main} thrown in /home/c6uphucr/patetech.info/sites/site1/admin/setup/987ve3ear56e3f6ba4c5721d403e.php(18) : eval()'d code(23) : eval()'d code on line 8055
I thought maybe 7.2 was too bleeding edge so I switched it to 7.0. Same thing.
So I switched back to 5.6 and it is working again.
I was planning on complete redoing the site when 7.3 was released, anyway, so no big deal but I did find it odd.
Edit: I figured it out. It was a very old file from 2012 that seemed to be an related to an attempted Wordpress Hack. I deleted the entire folder and did the upgrade again.
And now have this:
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function mysql_query() in /home/c6uphucr/patetech.info/textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php(1826) : eval()'d code:985 Stack trace: #0 /home/c6uphucr/patetech.info/textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php(1826) : eval()'d code(30): tru_tags_load_prefs() #1 /home/c6uphucr/patetech.info/textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php(1826): eval() #2 /home/c6uphucr/patetech.info/textpattern/publish.php(196): load_plugins() #3 /home/c6uphucr/patetech.info/index.php(107): include('/home/c6uphucr/...') #4 {main} thrown in /home/c6uphucr/patetech.info/textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php(1826) : eval()'d code on line 985
So here we go again.
Second Edit: I deleted tru_tags (which was active but not being used) and did the upgrade again. It works now.

Glad you got it working. The first one is a file that’s not in the Textpattern distro (probably that hack you mentioned!). The second one must be tru_tags as mysql_query() doesn’t exist in txplib_misc.txp. That problem was patched in tru_tags a while back and there have been more patches since. Whil truist hasn’t been active here much, he has been accepting and processing pull requests: the most recent version should be here.

Re: Feedback to: Textpattern CMS 4.7.0 beta 3 released
As I just finished the Greek translation, I am wondering if we could have a link in the languages pane directed to a particular sticky thread here where people could recommend better translations. I am by no means a translator and I am deeply sceptical regarding the quality of the work I have done. I think that it will be understandable by the average users but seasoned Greek developers will probably find lots of room for improvement.

Re: Feedback to: Textpattern CMS 4.7.0 beta 3 released
I’ve been thinking this for a while: some short paragraph on languages panel with a link to languages page on Textpattern.com. Inviting translations and improvements.
Possible?

How about a pophelp alongside the Languages heading? Minimal disruption: no need for new strings besides the pophelp text itself, and one line of code change.

Dunno. I think it needs to be more apparent, rather than buried in a pophelp. Opinions?

Judging from my translation to Greek: +1

For the stated purpose of improving the translations yes, it would be better in a visible place (under the heading) – a side note here: perhaps include a note that one can also download updated translations that way. On the other hand, it is a bit more clutter added to the panel…
But seen from the left foot, how many times do you access that panel, once your system is set up? So tentatively yes to a more visible note.
