I’ve tweaked the upgrade wording. Is that better?

The same warning applies to /textpattern/admin-themes/ – users could have custom themes, custom stylesheets or custom scripts in there. Potentially blowing away /textpattern/plugins/ is also tricky (plugins will be added again after log in, but users could have uninstalled plugins left for eventual later use).

True. It’s already complicated to describe, and (pretty much) the only people affected are Transmit users because that defaults to Replace instead of Merge.

If we make the instructions more explicit in this regard (using “merge” instead of “replace”) then I think we’re covered, and it’s simpler to read than explaining not to destroy any customised stuff.

I’ve tweaked the wording again. Is that clearer?

Re: Feedback: Textpattern CMS 4.9.0 released

I’ve upgraded to 4.9.0. Very much appreciate the hard work and dedication that went into this. I’ve renewed my monthly GitHub contribution.

Two things I’ve noticed this morning:

- With Admin-side theme Hive, on Presentation > Pages for example, the listing of all pages has moved from the left sidebar to the right sidebar. Wasn’t expecting this. Suspect RTFM applies to me and I’ve just not paid attention to the development discussion.

- I wanted to check an old style that I’m sure I was able to see in 4.8 but when I select that style in the Theme dropdown field, it immediately changes to ‘Invalid argument’. Others of my previous styles are selectable. How can I troubleshoot this?

EDIT: From Themes, I’m getting the following

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined method Textpattern\Skin\Skin::main() in 
/home/azuiker/apps/chronicles/textpattern/vendors/Textpattern/Skin/Skin.php:1529 Stack trace: #0

That’s by design to mimic the Write panel.

That’s odd. Do you mean when assigning styles on the Sections panel? Hmm.

I wonder if it’s theme related? Do you see any error messages if you put the site in debugging mode? Anything in the html source or the browser Inspector that might give us a clue?

Edit: ah. Just spotted your edit with the error message shown.

Re: Feedback: Textpattern CMS 4.9.0 released

Try switching theme on the pages/forms/styles panel and saving any asset to “store” the current theme, then try again from the Sections panel. Not sure why it wouldn’t have your pref stored for the current theme in use.

This worked. I used Themes ‘Assign sections’ to do this. Thanks!

Well, it worked for a second or two. Ok, I’ll stop and do some testing and get my notes in order before I reply again.

Re: Feedback: Textpattern CMS 4.9.0 released

I have upgraded both of my WWW publications smoothly today, thanks our dev gods!

Unfortunately, all images displayed via yield="id" have disappeared. I am not a programmer, just blindly copied the following code from this forum :)

	<figure<if::yield name="class"> class="<txp:yield name='class' />"</if::yield>>
<txp:image yield="id" loading="lazy" /> <txp:if_yield>
<figcaption><txp:yield escape="tidy,textile" /></figcaption> <txp:else />
<txp:image_info yield="id" escape="tidy,textile" wraptag="figcaption" /> </txp:if_yield>
	</figure>

The descriptions from <figcaption> are displayed correctly. And article images are recognized and displayed properly from a similar form:

	<if::article_image><figure class=vaizdas id=esminis>
<txp:image_info id='<txp:custom_field name="article_image" />' escape="tidy,textile" wraptag="figcaption" />
<txp:article_image loading="lazy" />
	</figure></if::article_image>

In testing mode, the error message is as follows:

Tag error: <txp:image yield="id" loading="lazy" /> -> Textpattern Notice: Image tags cannot be used outside an image context. Issue detected while parsing form figure on page skelbimai.

How should I adjust that image context in such custom figure form?
