pico · Post by **pico** » Tue 24. May 2005, 17:04

Maybe all Users can post the Results of investigation of the newest Version 1.2.3 here. So this Thread gives a overview about the Changes and how they work.

edit by pappnase

you will find the new version here
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile ... _id=140436

EDITED by Pico
for better Overview I will do here a summary
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* started to change template defaults to standard HTML tags like <p>, <h1...h6> and so on
H1 is used für article head
H2 for article subhead
H3 for content part head
H4 for content part subhead
* space above/bottom are now realized by <div style="height:..>
* lot of smaller fixes - not really bugs
* there is a way to make different Nav_table Layouts depending form StructureLevel in conf.template_default.inc.php
* SPAW Editor (only IE) works with Imagebrowser and shows Images wich are uploaded with phpWCMS-Filemanager
* downloads are now counted - different counts for started and finished downloads - no display in backend at the moment
* {SITE} returns the WEB-Adress like http://www.domain.xxx
* {RSSIMG} shows a RSS-Logo
* {NEW:} rep tag now allows you to specify a certain category so {NEW:5:3} will return the latest 5 articles in category 3.

* a note on frontend login if you read the TODO file in the latest release, you will see this is still in the dev phase... but there are also some changes for that

this file: fe_user_login.inc.php and I managed to include it by using:

Code: Select all

{PHP:phpwcms_template/inc_script/fe_user_login.inc.php}

It shows a login form and it is supposed to only show up if there is no FE user id in the session. It points to the current URL.
index.php already makes use of $_SESSION['frontend_user'] and has a VISIBLE_MODE for article_user (maybe front end user?) but its value is never used as far as I can figure it out.

* there are 3 new functions with the creation of a structure level (ADMIN-->Site Structure-->Create Structure Level). These are :

- Beside the cache functions there is now a new function "Search" with a new checkbox. I think you can here sort out the created structure level from the search... ?
- Beside the status functions "Visible" and "Public" there are two additional functions called "SSL" and "Sitemap". "Sitemap" seems to include this created structure level into a sitemap or exclude from a sitemap... ?
this function is also contained in the article creation or editing.
is there a SSL=Secure pages Funktion for selected Pages planed? OK there are also some Parameters for SSL in the conf.inc.php - but this is not new!?

* The "site structure and article list" now shows all content parts associated with each article from the main site tree. To see this, log into the backend, click ARTICLE from across the top and expand an article by clicking the + to see the various content parts beneath it.

will be continued...

and here the first I found

seems that there is a way to make different Nav_table Layouts depending form StructureLevel in conf.template_default.inc.php

Code: Select all

/*
 * sublevel layout
 * ===============
 * setup unique style for each node/level
 * ['array_struct'][1] => the number represents level ID
 * so root level is [0] and so on...  

$template_default["nav_table_struct"]['array_struct'][1]["linkimage_norm"]

tested and works

SPAW Editor (only IE) works with Imagebrowser and shows Images wich are uploaded with phpWCMS-Filemanager.

Hi pico,

the SITE replacement tag did already exist in earlier versions...

It is good for example when you develop local and then transfer your site to the internet...

By the way: you can now set the rights of a user: Backend, Frontend or Frontend/Backend(both together). But I don't know whether it is for the forum or for frontend login...

Greetings.

Hi all,
I just tried to figure out how this frontend user login is working to give a report here, but: with the new frontend user I cannot log in and the admin cannot see anything of a page defined as "visible only for logged in..."
Did I do something wrong? No clue how it might work

I've been really happy seeing this upcoming feature - a functioning frontent login for certain parts of a site would have been really enough good for now...
Has anyone already figured out how to do?
Many thanks in advance!
Greetings
Claus

Ok, if I set everything visible in admin-page-structure
and non public in article-center I will see the article if I'm logged in and it will vanish when logging out. The checkbox for "visible only when logged in" doesn't seem to work yet...?
Still my test user can't log in

Hi claus,

I think you need a frontend login content part where the frontend user can insert his/her data to be allowed to see special protected pages. The frontend setting in the user settings is not for login into the backend as you are trying to do it. But at this time there is no content part for the frontend login...

I have found this file: fe_user_login.inc.php and I managed to include it by using:

Code: Select all

{PHP:phpwcms_template/inc_script/fe_user_login.inc.php}

It shows a login form and it is supposed to only show up if there is no FE user id in the session.
It points to the current URL.

I have created a frontend user and marked a page as visible only for logged-in users (translated from German), but it has no effect whatsoever.

index.php already makes use of $_SESSION['frontend_user'] and has a VISIBLE_MODE for article_user (maybe front end user?) but its value is never used as far as I can figure it out.

Hello,

The {NEW:} rep tag now allows you to specify a certain category so

{NEW:5:3}

will return the latest 5 articles in category 3.

All best,

Ps: It is also true in 1.2.1

Hi all,

I am compiling a list here... if more is found let me know
--...--/index.php?topic=134

a note on frontend login

I have created a frontend user and marked a page as visible only for logged-in users (translated from German), but it has no effect whatsoever.

if you read the TODO file in the latest release, you will see this is still in the dev phase...

Hi trip,

one question: Why do we need any further forum to list the changes?
Isn't this forum sufficient enough? Can't we concentrate on only one forum?

Just my 2 cents...

Joachim
