That all looks terrific to me, thank you.

Re: Textpattern CMS demo site

Hi Pete, just wondering if there is an opportunity to use the Textpattern .com styling on the demo landing page (https://textpattern.co/demo) just for a nice bit consistency with the main website?

Can see anything layout on there that we can’t do with the current CSS and HTML.

Let me know if this is feasible – and if so, maybe let me have the template/HTML for it and I will refactor?

Re: Textpattern CMS demo site

Also (and this might be a stretch) we could use demo.textpattern.com for the URL too. Not sure how that fits into your plans for https://textpattern.co/ so I apologise if I’m overstepping.

I’ve gone back and forth on this a lot. The original plan was to have the demo site offered for anyone to use, and Textpattern Consulting (on the to-do list) foots the server bill and my time for maintenance etc. Not much happened officially with Textpattern Consulting in the past years, but it’s now getting paid work (albeit without its own site, ironically).

I am making the landing page prettier, along with sundry other improvements, but I need to be careful there are no blurred lines between .com (here) and .co (there) since there’s business involved. Current plan is to redo the landing page properly, explain towards the bottom that it’s technically a third-party site compared to the official Textpattern network, but has some sort of loose approval from Textpattern HQ.

When I get Textpattern paid work in, I can offset that with time and work here, so everyone hopefully benefits from the paying client, in a roundabout sort of way. Is that reasonable?

Re: Textpattern CMS demo site

As a contingency, as and when misadventure catches up with me and I am no more, a couple of trusted people here have full commit read access to the GitLab repo where all the build scripts are held. They’re not public as I’m still adapting and improving them, once they’re ‘done’ I’ll release them for scrutiny, forking etc.

Re: Textpattern CMS demo site

OK, first pass at dev and 4.8.2 branches in their own dirs:

dev-demo.textpattern.co/dev/ (currently 4.9.0-dev with Four Point Nine theme)

dev-demo.textpattern.co/4.8.2/ (currently 4.8.2-dev with Four Point Eight theme)

Please test and report any issues. Thank you.

We should know for sure in less than an hour when the rebuild script runs, but provisionally DONE.

Edit: scripts ran as expected. Hooray!

Working great from my cursory tests, thank you. This is gonna be super cool having not only dev and the current latest in-progress branch, but potentially other branches to test too (once we pare them down a bit… knocked one down today, yay!)

Terrific stuff.

I’m nearly at the point where all I need is the branch name to add a new subdir site, but not quite. The mild irony of spending hours upfront on automation to save a few minutes every now and again is not lost on me…

Re: Textpattern CMS demo site

Good news: I’ve compiled PHP 8.0.0-alpha1 from source. Both the 4.8.2 branch and the dev branch load up the front page just fine.

Not-so-good news: not able to log in various errors thrown during the login process.

This is expected. PHP 8 is a big release, this is alpha software, and it’s inevitable there will be some work involved with getting Textpattern shipshape.

I’ll post some links when logging in is fixed, in the meantime I’ll open an issue with some errors to see if we can find a way forward.

Edit: after some persevering clearing the errors, I’m in:
