Re: Testers needed: flat development (4.7+ only)
Being lean, smart, and secure web-publishing loom, Texpattern should respect right web-servers, too. Hiawatha is standards-complied, full-featured, completely documented, light, secure and robust, free open-source HTTP server software, far human-friendlier than NginX, Apache.
Could I submit the third section of that docs with Hiawatha configuration tips?

Servers configuration is not my cup of tea, NginX even less. I guess you’d need to forbid the direct access to
.txpfiles, and Pete @gaekwad should know how :-)
We have this sort-of covered already with the Nginx boilerplate here — these lines:
location ^~ /themes/\.txp$ {
return 403;
}Define the thing you want to prevent access to with a regex, then give it the http error code in this case and you’re done.
I will enthusiastically +1 the proposal from Vienuolis to add info about Hiawatha, especially since that will mean I can take a look over winter to tidying up and expanding some of the older documents. I’m very in favour of more ‘how to’ config guides.

No doubt you can, that would be ace. Textpattern has a small dev team, so community contributions are essential. I’m not in charge of the docs, but a pull request on this should suffice. Thanks!
…and if you’re not comfortable with GitHub, I will gladly help with putting it all together.

Re: Testers needed: flat development (4.7+ only)
Thank you both for the kind invitation. I have registered to Github today, and made my first contribution, despite I am not a programmer, though. Will correct to fit the high TxP community standards, thanks for your advice.

Re: Testers needed: flat development (4.7+ only)
@Vienuolis that’s great! Thanks for contributing.
When you are ready for it to be added to the docs site please open a pull request from your GitHub patch-1 branch back to the master repo – we will then proof-read, edit if necessary and then merge. After-which, the docs will be live for all to see.
Thanks again!

Re: Testers needed: flat development (4.7+ only)
Thanks, I have just made my first pull request, patch-1 titled as „Hiawatha for Texpattern“. Sorry for my poor English language, and thank you for spelling it correctly.

Re: Testers needed: flat development (4.7+ only)
Everything is OK now, AFAIK. You can verify and merge my commit, if such how-to is appropriate.

Re: Testers needed: flat development (4.7+ only)
Many thanks for expanding the scope of HTTP and SQL servers for Textpattern. Could we take away also the disgraceful dependence from Apache and other proprietary directives from our System requirements — the main webpage for new visitors to Textpattern.com?
Textpattern works on any web server that supports Apache, PHP and MySQL.
Textpattern works on any open standards complied HTTP server (Apache, Caddy, Cherokee, G-Wan, Hiawatha, Lighttpd, NginX, OpenLiteSpeed) with PHP and MariaDB (MySQL) support.

Can you please open an issue at the repo where this can be discussed properly in context. Thanks! There is also the debate about whether system requirements info should be moved to the docs site instead (logically it probably should move).

Re: Testers needed: flat development (4.7+ only)
Back on topic, is there a reason in 4.7.2-dev that the new ‘Export to disk’ feature on forms and styles is not available for pages too? Cheers!

Mainly usage reasons: (MIME-typed) forms and styles can be served from the disk, but not the pages. But I think we should add it, for consistency. Will do, thanks for the reminder.

Re: Testers needed: flat development (4.7+ only)
Just a quick note for anyone using the 4.7.2-dev builds and also using custom form types.
We have changed the mimetype= setting to mediatype= since that is the correct terminology now (source) so please update accordingly when moving to the latest dev builds (and/or to 4.7.2 stable when that releases very soon hopefully).
