uhm, i'd personally love to have one editor throughout all the backend - this wouldn't confuse customers. Why are you preferring tinymce? looks like fck is quite a robust choice - personally don't know about tiny but... :)

This is addressed in another topic somewhere on the forums (can't remember where) but I had/still have a number of issues with FCKEditor on my PC, and it's partly personal preference too. There's a bit more info at http://www.shinypixel.co.uk/phpwcmstinymce where I added WYSIWYG support for TinyMCE a while ago. This page is also due for an update, incidentally.

I'm currently just working on the forms for per-user blog ownership, and they're nearly finished.

Beta released!

Post by shiny »

After a few hours of frenzied coding and testing, I've put together a beta version of the code. I can only apologise for the length of time this has taken from start to finish. There's still more that can be added, but this is a base that we can move on from. Waiting in the wings (but not yet in there) are RSS support, "More..." links, image uploads and the feature requests that were mentioned earlier in the thread.

It's not a public beta yet in case of a massive problem that I haven't noticed (I've tested on a fresh 1.2.5 DEV version but nothing older) which would mean that everyone is unduly disappointed.

I've sent links out to all those who have previously asked, and if you do want to have a go at the (as yet, relatively untested) beta too, then just drop me a line and I'll point you at it.

I'm as glad that it's nearly finished as everyone else is :D

I've sent a link to the beta to all those who have asked for it so far (about 6-8 people, I can't remember exactly)... Could I request that anyone whos tried it sends me a PM and lets me know how they've got on? I'd love to hear from you all :)

Cheers!

strange..

Post by Ben_Hook »

Hi shiny, Nice work, I like how the database automatically installs :D Unfortunately it wont work on the 3 servers I tried it on, two 1.2.6 and 1 1.2.5 :( It comes up, but constantly tells me that i'm not an admin, even though I am- and doesnt let me do anything.. I tried commenting out the bit that verifys that you're an admin in each of the .tmpl files, but then the blogs i add just dissapear :? :(
Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong??
Thanks,
Ben.Hook

This is a known problem (i.e. a bug ;) ), and it has been reported already by another tester, so you are not alone. I've been rethinking the admin structure, as currently the one I'm using seems unreliable. Thanks for the report - I'll release an updated beta when I've fixed the problem.

OK everyone, the 'you are not an admin' bug has been fixed. Only one line needed to be changed in the end, and thanks very much to Fulvio for allowing me the use of his test server so I could test things out and get it fixed on his version [1.2.6DEV].

I've also disallowed blank comments, and prevented people from writing the same comment twice.

Before I release a new Beta, I'm hoping to integrate the Comments Manager so you can delete comments that mikepkp17 has added, but because I left the code at work, I'm waiting to hopefully get the download link re-activated :)

For all you beta-people there's a new version released (at the same place as the old one - PM me for details). The next release will be a proper public one.

More info here.
