Hi everybody

I'm soooo sorry! I wasn't here for quite a time. I've been abroad in december and didn't check the thread often and I couldn't work on the hints and questions.
But now i'm back. And the new version is almost ready.
I'm checking the Beta right now and I have to finish the installation routine.
If someone would like to help testing - PM me!

With the new Version 2.0 I can answer most questions asked here:

@pSouper
add/remove items (now up to 24) - solved
hide/show each item (global setting can be overwritten while data input!) - solved

@pico
problem with deleted categories with remaining RT - solved

@jscholtysik (and others)
image-size problem - solved
with new auto-template-function inages can be uniform sized
new with 'click enlarge' function (pop-up)

@frold
much better solution for 'display only one field' with new auto-template
does this article.php thing work???

@Kosse
htmlspecialchars should be OK now, this needs more checking!

@JensZ
yes, table layout can be done with new auto-template-function

@Pauli
oh yes, phpwcms-search-function searches within ExData, this is a hardcode-hack coming with new version!

@Ben
ExData Module is OK with DEV Version up to 1.2.5 - Even I don't know what the future brings, so you have to remain hoping... :wink: serious: ExData Module will work as long as any Module works in phpwcms. it is integrated according to the mod-coding-guidelines.

@TMerz
jaja, you never have enough!
in new version I made a frontend sort-function - so the user can sort the data by fields. I think this is what most people waited for.
Now, you want to go even further.
I'll give it a try.

and finally @Himmelreich
tönt nach Installations Problemen. Die Datenbanktabellen können nicht erstellt werden. Befolge die Installationanleitung. Bist Du berechtigt Datenbanktabellen zu erstellen? Ev. liesse sich das auch manuell machen, via phpMyAdmin oder ähnliches. Deine Konfiguration???


OK! Give me another few days.

it does certainly work in phpwcms v1.2.5-DEV Release 03.11.2005
follow the install instructions in readme and the posts in this thread
not tested in 1.2.6 anymore because the update version 2.0 is on the way
wait a few days more and you'll have a much better peace!

Hi

works great :D

some small things I found:

in the CSS ext_items is defined but the Script use ext_item

in the main.config.php I have changed

Code: Select all

$prefix				= "_";
to

Code: Select all

$prefix = DB_PREPEND; // use the Variable from phpWCMS
and in cnt13.article.inc.php

Code: Select all

$exd_sql = "SELECT * FROM _phpwcms_exd_entries WHERE catid=".$exd_catid." ;";
to

Code: Select all

$exd_sql = "SELECT * FROM "DB_PREPEND."phpwcms_exd_entries WHERE catid=".$exd_catid." ;";
seems to work with this changes - so there is no need to edit this Files when the Database Prepend is changed.
Will do more testing now

PS. the Images for Templates in exData Module-> Templates->Edit 'row.gif' and 'col.gif' are searched in Folder ../inc_front/img/backend but this Folder does not exsists - so I create this and moved the Images to there

Hi pico

Thank you for reporting the errors!

Note: in the CSS ext_items AND ext_item is used:
ext_items is background for all entries, exd_item only for 1 entry (makes sence in list-view).

You are right with the prefix-changes, much better solution!! will change this for next update!

The path for the 2 images in Template-Form is wrong indeed.
You can either change the pics to new folder /backend as you did
or download the bug-correction file in my download-section
http://web.casa-loca.com/index.php?downloadexdata
then the right path is set in the code (as it is in the new main download-file).

how I say in German 'Wer lesen kann ist klar im Vorteil' :oops:

for full HTML-Validation I have added to all Table-Tags the missing summary="" - not a big deal 8) ( have done this in almost the whole phpWCMS-Script(s) - one think is still 'not Valid' - the use of the <style type="text/css"> outside the <head>-Tag is not allowed - but it works ;)

Hello again !

This is what has to be made for cal module togehter with the list mod:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare stateselect() (previously declared in /home/htdocs/web4/html/include/inc_module/mod_exdata/inc_lib/main.functions.php:4) in /home/htdocs/web4/html/include/inc_module/mod_calendar/inc_lib/main.functions.php on line 3

In Backend only......... Frontend changes language definitions

Perhaps a small thing...

Jürgen

Edit: Ok, as seen both mods are highly related, will change inclusion by one of the double definition to see if that works as well ...
