Re: Textpattern CMS demo site

Automatic compiling of PHP 8.0.0-dev from GitHub source was broken, and is now fixed.

Re: Textpattern CMS demo site

A potential URL-change heads up for anyone actively using the Dev Demo site – please take a moment to read this post.

As we approach the release Textpattern versions 4.8.1, development considerations are also being given to the next ‘big’ Textpattern release, provisionally version Textpattern 4.9.

There may be a situation where the Textpattern development codebase is branched into version 4.8 and version 4.9, with certain code only going into one branch. To get around this without having a mishmash of subdomains, I am proposing to change the Dev Demo site (and only Dev Demo) to have a slightly different URL format:

https://dev-demo.textpattern.co/branchname/

So, in the case of the actively-developed dev branch, it would provisionally be:

https://dev-demo.textpattern.co/dev/

…and if a branch called 4.9 appears, it would be:

https://dev-demo.textpattern.co/4.9/

Anyone hitting the Dev Demo root would be taken to the dev branch, so there’s no friction there.

Using subdirectories makes automation more straightforward for me, branches can be enabled and disabled as they come and go, and it’s far less work for me to do this than have URLs like this:

https://branchname.dev-demo.textpattern.co/
https://branchname-dev-demo.textpattern.co/

It’s less work for me, but the new URLs are perhaps not as smart with the trailing /branchname/ directory slug, so it’s not 100% clear cut if this is the best thing to do, or whether it affects something you’re doing with the Dev Demo site currently.

What do you think?

Re: Textpattern CMS demo site

I like this. It’s also a valuable test that we haven’t screwed anything up for subdir installs :)

Re: Textpattern CMS demo site

Something weird happens in clean modes when URL contains a subpath: GET variables seem to be ignored. Can not reproduce on my local server.

Strange. I haven’t touched anything aside from the web server version. I’ll roll back to the previous version to see if that resolves it. When you see a reply below about the tech stack being updated, please re-test.
