ExData Module v2.8.0 - Tables, Lists and more…

[breitsch]

Bueno, next step for ExData is done!

Version 2.70 is ready for download from my download-page:
http://web.casa-loca.com/index.php?downloadexdata
login as always:
Benutzername: exdmod
Passwort: phpwcms

there are 3 versions - for each phpwcms-version (1.2.6, 1.2.8 AND 1.3.0) one with the full file-package needed! (just as anyone wanted!)

Please see the readme-files for install, specially for 1.3.0 the process is slightly different.
For the changes see:
http://web.casa-loca.com/index.php?exdata_history
For the examples see:
http://web.casa-loca.com/index.php?exdata_example

The new helpsystem is running but still empty, will be filled continuously in future. (help appreciated)
known bugs: google-map in lightbox overlay does in firefox not work with moofx, I've got no idea why?

note: it's widely tested in phpwcms 1.2.6 and 1.2.8 but only quickly in 1.3.0
please report bugs here so I can fix them!

the actual ExData 2.70 does not contain the shopping cart, neither version, this is coming soon.

Hi Breitsch,

Just downloaded ExData 270,
about to start new (fresh) install inside wcms 130 on localhost.

I did notice that the wcms folder naming convention has changed
- was: phpwcms_template
is now: template
- do any of the source files for 270 need to be changed
to reflect this 130 related path issue?

From Readme:

IMPORTANT!
to make lightbox work right you must write the correct path of two images in file:
phpwcms_template/inc_app/lightbox/js/lightbox.js
edit the lines to your needs:
var fileLoadingImage = "template/inc_app/lightbox/images/loading.gif";
var fileBottomNavCloseImage = "template/inc_app/lightbox/images/closelabel.gif";

What is your suggestion....

great work

[breitsch]

@jsw_nz

it's really just that one file, as far as I know right now! The rest is (should be) done by system!

[oeconom]

breitsch,
great that you made it. Monday of promised week and there the new version is...!

One important question (for me):
In the version für 130, you're naming the template directory "phpwcms_template".
In 130 it's changed to simply "template" (by default).
What dependencies does this have when installing ExData for the first time? do I have to change somthing here and if so, where?

Thanks,
FELIX


P.S.: If I don't actually use any prefix for my tables (except the standard phpwcms_...), do I have to change something?

[breitsch]

@oeconom

read above

the name of the template folder is set by system to whatever you named it.
Exept for the one file mentioned above you should not have to edit anything by hand concerning the template directory.

The Prefix:
default-prefix for ExData-tables is "mod_"
you can leave this when you install ExData new.
But if you update and you had anything else than "mod_" in older versions you MUST change this to whatever you had before! (change in file: inc_lib/main.config.php)

and PS: concerning to finishing it in time - when we're not coding some stupid mods we do watches down here in Switzerland...

Thanks Breitsch,

So what you are saying....
drag and drop the inc_app folder into template folder
just needing the clarification - i remember dragging and dropping in former installs....

so just want to be sure...........

thnks,

Hi breitsch, just a little question.

The version for phpwcms 1.3 will be installed like a plugin?

[breitsch]

The version for phpwcms 1.3 will be installed like a plugin?

No. not yet.
You still have to edit the 3 files. See readme.

[sustia]

Ok, thanks for the answer.

hi ho,
after tweaking the 2.6x version for 1.3 just 2 days ago, there is the new version - hell
looks very cute.
update was easy the only thing that I noticed now ist - if I use a listing, with detailed viewlink, it don't work. (with url rewriting on: /9.14.0.0.1.0.phtml&entry_id=2)

just for my understandment - why did you choose this heavy load of JS and forms for the detailview feature?

thanks and keep up the good work
marcus

PS: summay attribute for tables would be good for lower validator warnings
[EDIT] Ok - answer was posted above [/EDIT]
PPS: is there a total-integration planned for the new phpwcms modulesystem, with own CP for setting up output more easily and without tweaking phpwcms.php file - just as question?

[marcus@localhorst]

the filebrowser_ext.php referrs me to my website startpage... any idea why?

hell, that was it (I've set filezilla to overwrite if newer, and the filebrowser was from 2006 )
because of the quotationproblem - i've tweaked the exdata.classes.php around line 967 a bit to:
$sql .= " '" . mysql_escape_string($values['field'.$i.'']) . "',";

this fixed my insert problem... (to update records there was no masking ' needed ...

Hi,
tried to apply the ExData Mod (uploaded all the files, made the changes, etc.).
I can see the ExData Mod Entry within "Modules" in the Backend, but clicking on it only gives me an empty space where the ExData-Settings should be.

I shurely will have done something wrongly.
Any idea what this could be - most propably?

Thanks and good night,
FELIX

@oeconom

go over the installprocess again, the file manipulation thing.
you missed something there!

or PM me your phpwcms.php file, I'll check it for you.
