phpwcms Support Forum

i have tested it and i have to admit it ROCKS!

FIVE thumbs up for shiny!

oops... talked too early
looks like it's not keeping the permissions (if i assign a user the blog, it doesn't "keeps" the assign) and if i just put {BLOG: blogName} it doesn't gets rendered....
talk to you tomorrow, S.

Hmm, works for me here... I have tested it - could you PM me with a detailed scenario?

That's the same with all Reptags as far as I'm aware. The reptags in the instructions don't have any spaces after the colon in them for that reason. It needs to be {BLOG:blogName} . I'll make it more clear in the documentation.

Hey shiny.. the new version is WICKED
It works perfectly on my web server, but on my localhost:

localhost-xampp server wrote: Error:
There is a problem with the Blogs Module Database.

Please ensure that you have installed this module correctly and have all the correct permissions on your PhpWcms database.

Doesnt really matter, but I would like to get it going on my localhost so I can configure the css and everything before I upload it..

Thanks,
Ben Hook

I haven't tested the module on Xampp (I run Apache, PHP and MySQL separately here), and so I'd have to look into that one. I'll need to add some extra debugging info to the DB problems section at some point to get to the bottom of it. I'll see what I can do in the next couple of days.

In the meantime, I can only suggest making a test page on your real webserver, and then fiddling with the CSS while it's up there using an FTP-capable HTML editor such as HTML-Kit (it's what I did while developing )

It needs to be {BLOG:blogName}

i just made a typo on this post - it's properly written on the site...

Hi..
Would Dreamweaver 8 be good enough?
Alright.. I might try a different server system- I only installed xampp because I was in a rush to get a new local host- apache2triad had broken .
I'll try the stripped down version of a2t (very very good server sytem- http://www.apache2triad.net)
Maybe we could build a server software that automatically installed phpWCMS (such as the ones Mambo / Joomla (same thing) or Typo3 use.
The user runs the program, which sets up a small server software with only the main required components for wcms, and sets up a pre-installed version of phpWCMS with the default settings, so that the user can try it out without going into any trouble installing, without any php knowledge whatsoever .
Thanks

Hi. is this still a personal release only? Would like to test it on my site: would be a great substitute for "news" part on startup

It currently is a 'personal' or 'private' release, yes, but the next release won't be. Since my 'net connection has been down [and still is, I'm posting this on dial-up - nice and slow] and I spent all yesterday in bed ill, I haven't done any work on it over the weekend. I'll sort out the first public release later in the week. There's a bit of news over at the dev blog.

Would it be possible to also release, perhaps when you have a bit more time, a package consisting of the phpwcms files incorporating the hacks necessary to add the blog mod?

Alternatively, once it is released, maybe somebody who installed the hack over a clean 1.2.6 phpwcms version, could take a snapshot of the modified files and release them, maybe make them avaialable on the phpwcms doc portal?

I mean, for those who do not have other hacks in the phpwcms code, it would help to just be able to copy over the modified files incorporating the blog hacks.

It's not a greatly difficult thing to do at all, really. I have a copy of 1.2.5-DEV from which I could do this right now, actually, and it's quite a good idea. I'll certainly consider it, but it's probably something that should go with more 'mature' releases rather than the ones that are in circulation right now.

If anyone else fancies doing so then please wait until I make a public release so people don't end up getting buggy code.

Hi @shiny

if you klick at the '<< PREVIOUS' Link your Website then this Error

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/fhlinux203/s/shinypixel.co.uk/user/htdocs/phpwcms_template/inc_script/frontend_render/blog.module.php on line 45

occours.

Also can you or someone else explain me, what 'PERMALINK' should do?

If you mean *IN GENERAL*...

thx DeXXus

but I meant the Function in the Blog-Mod
at my Testinstallation the only thing what happens is, that the URL in my Browser grows up from

http://localhost/?permalink=3

to

http://localhost/?permalink=3&permalink=3&permalink=3

with every klick on it !?

I'm not shure that I have missed something during the installation, but at shiny's Website I get the same Effect !

I think you LOST me.

If we are talking about the same thing, then you are NOT talking about the "coding" of this script, but RATHER the browser actions that you experience when the permalink is "clicked" upon, right?

When I click on a permalink at Shiny's Blog (which shows the last X number of posts)... My browser window is taken to a "permalinked" page that is different from where I just was, and is completely devoid of any other posts, from the blog, except for that one "singular" post itself.

Is it different for you??
