Re: Txp 1.0 RC3 Available
jonhicks: I went straight to rc3 on a clean install for a new site that I am developing, I use the rc1 on another site but wanted to try out the new version. I got the site up and admin section appear once I deleted the .htaccess file so there is something with the server config file. Hopefully my provider will have it fixed soon so I can see all the pages. Today being my first day using it could someone briefy explain the files and do we still use sections?
francey: I was excited to use it as well as you’ll notice I was one of the first to comment on this posting when dean made the announcement but I decided to hold off and wait for the bugs to be discovered and corrected. But everything so far looks wonderful.

Re: Txp 1.0 RC3 Available
tmcraig – you still use sections, but you don’t make placeholder files anymore and you don’t have to edit .htaccess

kennethlove666 – thanks that is what I figure but just wanted to make sure I haven’t been able to play about with the new version yet as I am still trying to get my hosting sorted.

Re: Txp 1.0 RC3 Available

Re: Txp 1.0 RC3 Available
skoggy,
Yes, for some reason the default template wasn’t working with search. So I came up with this workaround that did the trick for me:
1. create a “search” page template (rather than using the “default” template).
2. Make a “search” section and associate it with the new search page template.
3. Add a hidden input field to pass the “s” variable for your new template along with the rest of your search info: <code><input type=“hidden” name=“s” value=“search” /></code> For some reason I couldn’t get it to go to “search.php” either, so I abandoned using a separate php (placeholder) page.
Note: I hardcode my search HTML form using a search TXP output_form rather than using the TXP tag.
One problematic thing I find is that TXP should really allow you to format your search results using an article form. I can’t get this to work—let me know if anyone has a solution.

Re: Txp 1.0 RC3 Available
Fixed forum gets my vote too.
Current RC3 has very few problems. Nothing major, atleast not for me so far. I can live with it, but not without the forum and all the help I get.

Re: Txp 1.0 RC3 Available
Marios,
I can’t speak for ob1’s search plugin. I think for most people’s needs, this is all you need (without any external plugins or hacks):
http://kusor.com/en/txptags/19/search-results
1. Create a misc form called “search_results”
2. Put the necessary search result element tags in the search_results form. I do something like this (with the help of Zem’s “zem_nth” plugin so that I have alternating colored results—with the appropriate CSS classes coloring “even” and “odd” ):
<code><txp:zem_nth step=“1” of=“2”><tr><td class=“even”></txp:zem_nth>
<txp:zem_nth step=“2” of=“2”><tr><td class=“odd”></txp:zem_nth>
<p><strong><txp:search_result_title /></strong></p>
<txp:search_result_excerpt />
</td></tr></code>
3. Then I have a “search” page which uses the txp article tag and references the above form. My search page, incidentally, has the opening and closing table tags. I think the table format is perfectly appropriate for content like this which is fairly “tabular” in nature.
Does that answer your question?
