Title: Feedback about WB 2.7 RC2
Post by: doc on March 13, 2008, 09:13:04 PM
Hello,

the testing phase of the first WB 2.7 release candidate is over. As some of you have found some bugs in the first release candidate, we decided to isssue a second WB 2.7 release candidate.

Changes introduced since RC1:
Legend: # Bugfix, + new feature, ! Update
# fixed bug in multiple groups (group rights did not add up properly)
# fixed save-bug of WYSIWYG pages (only if page language and backend language are different)
# fixed bug in view URL link (slash too much)
# fixed bug with news module end-date
# fixed bug in output-filter module (.@ in >xxxx</a> mailto part were replaced too, restricted to mails now)
# fixed bug when creating pages in conjunction with AddDefaultCharset
! FCKEditor now supports WB user home directories
! removed all hard coded /admin pathes by dynamic ones
! re-worked the backend layout (optimized icons with respect to loading time and Internet Explorer)
+ added some more language files

You can find the download link for the WB 2.7 RC2 on the WebsiteBaker start site (http://start.websitebaker2.org).

IMPORTANT:
Please do not use the RC2 version in a productive environment. This version is for testing on a test environment like XAMPP only. If you are already using WB 2.7 RC1, you can update to RC2 by copying all files contained in the WB 2.7 RC2 package (except config.php) over the existing RC1 installation.

This thread is only for feedback with respect to RC2 and to report bugs. We will not add any new features, so please no feature requests in this thread.

Please consider to read the posts in the RC1 thread (https://forum.WebsiteBaker.org/index.php/topic,8759.0.html) before posting in this thread.

NOTE:
As we expect posts for many different areas regarding the WB 2.7 release candidate, we will comment in your thread, whenever we think it make sense. We will not modify your original text, but may add comments in brown font color. The author will be named in brackets e.g. (doc).

We will delete all posts not related to RC2 to keep this thread readable. If you want to discuss a topic in more detail (e.g. layout), please start a seperate thread.

Have fun with testing WB 2.7 RC2
Regards Christian
Christian

Hi there!

I reported about my experiences with WebsiteBaker before, and again, I can only say I am amazed. Having converted my whole website with more than 550 pages to WB I was just waiting for v2.7 to be released to publish it in the most up to date version.

So today I did a test-upgrade of WB 2.6.7 to 2.7 RC2 on XAMPP with my complete website and having tested only 10 minutes I can't say I'm only partly thrilled. Since a lot of issues I had were due to my configuration, I rewrote this entry and I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

My main issue is with the new search-function.
- The new search does not include the News-entries. It doesn't even show the page on which a news-entry with the corresponding search-word would be.
- Leaving the 15-item-search-output might cut off a lot of search-results without telling you how many more results there would be! If you take out the 15-entry-limit the search-results-page takes ages to load.
- When the results are display everything past the content-field in my template gets cut off. Meaning the footer section of the template is missing completely!

So something went wrong with the update. The new search function should show and link to the specified entriy and also should show a text excerpt. Please be shure that all files from modules news are overwritten with the new ones. (ruebenwurzel)

I found out why FCKEditor won't work with very large sites (as reported in another thread). This is due to a 60s-timeout! However I only got the error-message (maybe in include.php?!) once, since then I just don't get to see the FCKEditor with such a large site.
I don't know whether this is WebsiteBaker specific or due to my server - any clarification hereon would be appreciated.

The new search-function really let me consider whether I should stick with 2.6.7. I like the new admin-backend though - any way of keeping the old search?

Best regards,
VSG

PS: Another curious thing about the new search. I compared the results with the old one on my "real" but unpublished website. So I searched for the same expression and got 17 results with the old search - and 4 with the new one. So I did the search again with the new one and got 9 results. Still using the same expression. Shouldn't this be always the same? And the same as with the old one?

No, the update went flawlessly. I removed the "[EXCERPT]" from the search entry, because I don't like that - and just to show you what I mean:

First the old search then the new search.
And both pictures taken with the same website-content. I don't get it, this doesn't add up. And as I said, the update was completed without any problems.

As you can see the disclaimer in the end is missing - it is in the footer-section of my template. And that is what's cut off.
Plus: it doesn't show half the results found like the old search above.

VSG

did you use the standard news and the standard search in your old page, or did you use any changed version? The results page looks different then the default one. Also did you tried it before you removed the excerpt or something else. For me it looks like you don't use the default ones. (ruebenwurzel)

I use the default news and default search - I simply deleted the author and timestamp output that is editable in the admin-panel. No module was installed on my board (except PageCloner and TemplateEdit - but those two were updated to the latest before upgrading WB).

However, this doesn't change the fact that not the same results are found.
Can anyone confirm / crosscheck this with a test installation of 2.7 and a "live" 2.6.7?

Thannks,

This is so sad ... I'm truly sorry for having caused anyone trouble today. The fault is all my own. Well almost.

My normal PC isn't the fastest, being a P4 1.9 GHz with 1GB RAM. Well, it's fast enough for me at least. Having tried the XAMPP-installation on a Pentium Mobile 1.8 with 1GB RAM the processor finally seems fast enough to actually complete the search function. It appears to have been a time-out problem.

I understand the search is very hardware-hungry with such a big website as mine (more than 550 pages) - but I wonder: will it be fast enough when I upload it to the server in the end?
Or can I push the time-out in the Apache configuration? And when: where can I do it?

On another note (even more depressing), I have repeatedly reported the FCKEditor not working with pages more than 100.000 characters. This also works on the Pentium Mobile - though the page takes long to load, it actually does. Again this appears to be a timeout problem - I assume with Java. Has anyone any ideas how to push the time-out limit here? So the very few people with PCs as old as mine can still work this?

Best regards - and sorry again, the new search works after all. Just my PC is too slow to do it.

WB rocks as usual :)

I've created complete Russian translation of default modules language files (UTF-8), I hope it will help to make WB more international and it would be nice to include them in 2.7. The file is attached. I've tested it using RC2 and it looks fine.

Complete Russian translation of the main language file will be available in several days.

Thanks for your contribution. But can you convert the als files to pure ANSI (not UTF8 without BOM) and also convert all signs to Unicode? Thanks (ruebenwurzel)

Thanks.

Good morning,

after the embarrassing discovery yesterday evening, I did another check here - again regarding the new the search. On my local XAMPP I installed both the "old" WB 2.6.7 and the new WB 2.7 RC 2 - same website content.

My website now has 568 Pages and the database clocks in at 13.6 MBs.

Performing a search-operation on both installations brought a new perspective to my problem.
It took the old search 0.601 seconds to complete.
It took the new search 52.677 seconds to complete! :?

Is there any way to optimize this? I don't know whether the new search function has been tested with such large sites, but since the old one managed it, I assumed the new one would as well.

Is there no way of making the new search optional?
Or using the old one via a module?

Because the way it is now, the time difference will be the same both here and on the webserver. Since I plan to further add content to the site, the problem will only get bigger.

Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
VSG

Hi,
I found a little bug in News-Module: When no End-Date is set (If you don´t want to have an end-date), it copies the start-date automatically in the End-Field. That´s stupid, cause the news will not be published.
If no Date is set, the news must be published I mean.
As far as i know, this one was fixed in 744 (http://projects.WebsiteBaker.org/websitebaker2/changeset/744), included in RC2 (thorn)

did some modifications here (http://projects.WebsiteBaker.org/websitebaker2/changeset/757) and here (http://projects.WebsiteBaker.org/websitebaker2/changeset/758).

Finally got to test the modifications ... here's the line-up, performed multiple searches:

Search with 2.6.7:
0.4 - 0.7 seconds

Search with 2.7 RC 2 (unaltered):
50 - 54 seconds

Search with 2.7 RC 2 (Thorn's modifications):
44 - 48 seconds

Search with 2.7 RC 2 (removed/renamed "search.php" in wysiwyg & news modules):
1.0 - 1.5 seconds

Hope this helps. Thanks in advance!
I won't be able to test as much over the holidays, but I'll try.

Hello,

Search with 2.7 RC 2 (Thorn's modifications):
44 - 48 seconds

Search with 2.7 RC 2 (removed/renamed "search.php" in wysiwyg & news modules):
1.0 - 1.5 seconds

hm, not as expected  :-(  With those large data the excerpt-extraction appears to be the bottleneck.

BTW: if you don't need the excerpts (but want to have the direct links for news e.g.), you can set Max lines of excerpt in the Settings to 0 [In german this is called somewhat misleading "Max Anzahl Treffer"]. The excerpt-extraction is bypassed this way.
If you don't need the direct links neither, just remove all search.php from the modules-directories.

Meanwhile i will do some more work on this. Would be nice if you could do a final test next week.
Will send you a pm.

Thorn.

Doing so I can reduce the search-time to 30 - 35 seconds.

[In german this is called somewhat misleading "Max Anzahl Treffer"].
Found it - why don't we change that line for the final version? For example to "Max Zeilenanzahl der Text-Auszüge"? Would be far clearer that way :-).

Quote

Since I only need the links to the news-entries, I removed it in the wysiwyg-module. Reduced search-time to 1.5 - 2.0 seconds that way.

Meanwhile i will do some more work on this. Would be nice if you could do a final test next week.
I'll be there and test it out.
Since I installed 2.7 RC 2 on a local test-installation, I don't have any disadvantages. My "live" 2.6.7 is currently just for internal testing. I would like to go public using 2.7 though - since it has a lot of improvements that really come in handy.

I'll wait. :-)
Thanks for your time! And have a nice holiday-weekend!

Hello. :)

I just followed the procedure to upgrade my own site from 2.6.7 to 2.7 rc2 and appearantly everything went ok. After a few minutes, unfortunately, I found a problem while editing the site from the admin sections. When I click on "pages", for a few seconds I can see the tree of the pages, soon after it disappears and on the admin page remains a sad notice:

Modify/Delete page:
none found

BTW, the list of pages stops creating in a tree with more then 100 pages (under seven subtrees).

The site, from the frontend, contains everything, and in the backend I can see modules, templates and media files correctly, but I cannot edit pages.

Help please. :)
Beppi.

PS: Yes, I have a backup, don't worry :)

Update:
Everything works with IE. Not with Firefox, even after a restart and the usual cache cleaning.

I had the exact same problem at first - you need to delete your cache and your cookies, log in again and then everything will be ok in Firefox as well.
At least this worked here on my machine.

Thanks very much and sorry for bothering. It's working now. In the same time arose another problem.
While searching in the site, if the search returns no results, the answer is correct. But if some results should be displayed, this is what I get:

CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers.

Anyone got the same? Thanks very much.

I'll check this, but I don't have any access to the host platform (yes, unfortunately it's Windows). Anyway, the error is not random, but appears each and every time now and didn't appear with 2.6.7 .
If this can be of any help, I can give you full access to the site that creates the error: tell me where to write them.

Thanks for the support and for the fantastic work!

Sorry, I only have one site, that is http://www.beppi.it/public/OthelloMuseum, hosted on aruba.it, and I confirm that it was working with 2.6.7 version.
Try a search there.
For example:
http://www.beppi.it/public/OthelloMuseum/search/index.php?search_path=&string=reversi&match=all

As told before, anyway I can give authorization for website baker developers to check if they need to, or whatever they need.

Also, if you want we can run a test by seeing what happens by hosting my site on your platform. I can copy my pages and db to your site.

Update:
the problem seems to present itself almost always  (say 99%): some very rare times it happens that the search, only if with 1 single result returned, is printed. As usua, it works 100% when there's no result to give.

Hi Beppi and Thorn,

I think this problem is related to you webhost Beppi. As i just created a fresh clean install of WB2.7RC2. I just made 2 pages with both content as "bramus" in it. Then i searched for "bramus" and i did get 2 results. So no error.

Thats why i think it is related to your webhost. I think they have some configuration different then me. Maybe they are running PHP as a CGI extension. I'm running them as an ISAPI extension and that's just working perfect.

Maybe you should try to contact your ISP and ask them about this, as i dont think this is a WB related problem. And i was also wondering why running it on Windows webhost while it better runs on Linux. Most of the time Windows is also more expensive then Linux.
Good luck with solving your problem. If you need more information from me, just message me or leave a message here.

Don't tell me!! Why I had the bad idea of choosing Windows, now I should pay to transfer all to linux, so I try to keep life on Windows. :-(

I will submit the question to the webhost service, but the question is: why 2.6.7 was working perfectly? There must be something that triggers the problems now, that was not there before, and that, I suppose, could arise for other users as well: what exactly has been done on the search function?
thank you.

Beppi,

Thorn can answer that question, but as far as i know this is a webhost related problem. As i also have 2.6.7 running good on my Windows server, and a clean install of 2.7 RC2 also works fine, so i think it will be a problem at the webhost.

Title: Re: Feedback about WB 2.7 RC2 - 'Private' issue
Post by: Frika on March 29, 2008, 01:40:31 AM
when I create a page with the 'private' attribute, I can see the page title in the navigation menu if I logged in as administrator only. All other user which logged in can´t see the pagetitle in the navigation menu. But they can view the page if they type in the page url manually. So the usermanagement is half-finished for 2.7. At ver. 2.6.x it works as it should.
Tested it with the latest version developer version in SVN and all works as it should. Can you please check the permissions for Administrator and Allowed Viewers for the private page? In addition can you clear the browser cache? (doc)


Sorry, but it is not working. On the web(2.6) it is working well, but the same site with the same pages, users, groups and permissions it only works to one half in the local environment (2.7)... The acces right is still there but the page is not displaying in the navigation menu. In both cases I´m using the showmenu2().
Which function in which module is decide which page is showing in the menu?
Ah, and one thing further, at home I have php5.2 and on the web there is 4.7.7
Please check in the pages settings, if viewing groups are correctly defined (viewing settings were not taken over when adding a new page). For registered pages make sure you have login enabled (WB Settings). Can you please check this with show_menu() in your template (doc)

Hi all.
I've completed a translation to Norwegian.

See attached .txt file.

Thanks for your addition. Done a look at your file, and there should two things be fixed before adding to WB package. 1.) the last lines are missing, when i download the attachement. Can you try to upload a zipped version instead of a .txt or .php file. 2.) All special characters should be converted to entities or unicode. (ruebenwurzel)

Regards
OEH

@ruebenwurzel.

OK. I've corrected NO.php 

In time I'll have a look at the grammatcs as well, some of the translations are made directly
from English to Norwegian.

Regards
OEH

Does anybody else run multiple WB installs in subdirectories?

I am suspicious that there are some path errors or maybe a database prefix missing somewhere.

After installing 2.7 rc2 (yes, in a separate database subsystem and another new subdirectory) I have had both my main account, which my DNS redirects to a /wb subdirectory, and another domain name (which is pointed at a subdirectory below my root www have started having issues. 

I.e., I installed in:
example.com/2.7 rc 2               - located at example.com/rc2     <--- seems ok
example.com/production site1   - located at example.com/site1   <--- slightly messed up
site2.com/                              - located at example.com/site2   <--- definitely messed up

It may be mostly a SHOWMENU2 issue, as the menus are messed up for one. However, an old version of a template index.php page suddenly reappeared in site2 as well. Very strange, that one.

Can anyone else confirm this?

did you use 1 database with prefixes? or did you use multiple databases?
Multiple databases and different table prefixes as well.

Actually, a showmenu2 connection may be inaccurate. I'm using the generic template, and I thought showmenu2 was a requirement but I looking some more and I can't see where showmenu2 is used.
The Generic template does use its own menu system, please check if the error exists for other templates too (doc)

Hi, just noticed a spelling error on the 'Manage Sections' panel, the hover tooltip 'calendar' is misspelt as 'calender'.
Thanks, we were able to fix this serious bug  :-)  (doc)
Really loving 2.7, the 'Admin Tools' menu link makes life much easier :D

I have a problem with page moving by drag and drop. With RC1 it runs but not with RC2. But I did install RC1 local (MAMP on a Mac) and RC2 online (Linux-Server), does this matter?
We have not changed the code from RC1 to RC2, so I guess it is related to different browser or server settings. Please install RC2 locally and test both RC1 and RC2 with the same browser and settings. (doc)

--- Edit: It was confirmed by the user, that both RC1 and RC2 work on identical test systems (doc)

The Generic template seems to be working okay on it's own. 

However, my other installation is still not working. I double checked both config files and definitely set up with different databases and even different prefixes as well. 

- I'm thinking that the installation missed a path somewhere and knocked my other template for a loop
- or else something about 2.7 is interferring with it. 

I'll guess I'll have to try removing the whole 2.7 install and seeing if there is still a problem.

--- I guess it's possible that the template was edited somehow and messed up, but I am pretty sure I haven't made any changes to it for several months.  :? You know, a "last modified" field display on components might be a a good idea.

** News Module bug er, I thought it was a bug, but misread the screen, because of the same old issue that has been driving me batty as a bug!  :-P 
Problem: READ MORE cannot be placed on the short description line.   The Short line is automatically enclosed in <P> tags and the anchor to the READ MORE text is OUTSIDE the paragraph. Thus, you can never have the READ MORE text appear at the end of your short description, it MUST appear as in following paragraph (and without <P> tags around it, by default).

Gee!

You make it really difficult for non German speakers to report bugs on any version.
The ticket system seems not to work or I am dumb enough not to understant how to use it.

Posting here seems really ridiculus since I am not able to see if this get reported earlier, and however this is not a 2.7.RC2 bug it is a all version bug:
Quote from: framework/class.frontend.php
LINE-43    var $default_block_content=true;

- true resolve accidentaly to 1 allowing some site to have their page N°1 to provide default blocks to other pages.
- if you delete / recreate you first page, its number will not be 1

I think the best to do without changing too much at that point is to have this value based on a define from the config.php.

config.php ==>   define('DEFAULT_BLOCK_CONTE NT','36'); // My default page layout (hidden)
class.frontend.php ==> var $default_block_content = defined('DEFAULT_BLOCK_CONTE NT')?DEFAULT_BLOCK_CONTE NT:1;


In later version of the code, we can make this value recordable from the Backend
Title: Error with massmail module
Post by: hrioo on April 02, 2008, 07:34:07 PM
I'm trying WebsiteBaker for the first time and have installed the 2.7RC2. The problem I'm having is with the massmail module. I get the following error when trying to access the massmail page in admin area:

Template Error: set_block: unable to set block list_block.
Halted.

Can you check if the following workaround works? Replace the file /include/phplib/template.inc from WB 2.7 RCx with the file contained in the WB 2.6.7 package - does this work (doc)

Same problem on local server running xampp and the live server as well. I copied the modules/massmail folder to somewhere else where Website baker is installed and tried accessing the files from there and some files appear and work properly.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

When adding a new page with an ampersand in it WB2.7rc2 cobverts it to &amp; but then encodesit again on output so instead of getting  "this & that" on the menu, you get "this &amp; that" on the menu entry.

Hello,

I've created complete Russian translation of default modules language files (UTF-8), I hope it will help to make WB more international and it would be nice to include them in 2.7. The file is attached. I've tested it using RC2 and it looks fine.

Thanks for your contribution. But can you convert the als files to pure ANSI (not UTF8 without BOM) and also convert all signs to Unicode? Thanks (ruebenwurzel)
I have converted the files. Thanks for your contribution.

Quote
Complete Russian translation of the main language file will be available in several days.
Feel free to post this, too  :-)  will convert it as necessary.

Thanks.


Hello,
as I promised the complete Russian translation of language file is attached. It is in utf-8 and need to be converted...
Could you please write me in PM what is the best way to convert such files? So I'll be able to fix them in the future...

Thanks.

Title: Error: Only characters a-z, A-Z, 0-9 and _ allowed as database name.
Post by: cyasar on April 04, 2008, 10:41:13 PM
Hi,
we have a site and database name includet _ character . But WebsiteBaker does'nt installation.
The character _ is allowed, only - is not allowed in database names. Will be fixed in the final WB 2.7 release. If you want to test the fix, use the changed files of Changeset 799 (http://projects.WebsiteBaker.org/websitebaker2/changeset/799) (doc)
What can i do.

Hi all.
I've completed a translation to Norwegian.

See attached .txt file.

Thanks for your addition. Done a look at your file, and there should two things be fixed before adding to WB package. 1.) the last lines are missing, when i download the attachement. Can you try to upload a zipped version instead of a .txt or .php file. 2.) All special characters should be converted to entities or unicode. (ruebenwurzel)

Regards
OEH

@ruebenwurzel.

OK. I've corrected NO.php 
  • Inserted the missing line 
  • I also converted all special characters like "ø" to "&oslash;" I hope that its what you meant.

In time I'll have a look at the grammatcs as well, some of the translations are made directly
from English to Norwegian.

Regards
OEH



I've now added the language files for all the implemented modules as well.

Regards
OEH

Small layout defect in the admin panel:

Go to admin/start/index.php

The icons for  Pages,  Add-ons etc. are 50x50 px, but the icon for Admin-Tools is 50x40 px. Would be nice to fix.
Thanks, will be fixed in WB 2.7 final (doc)

Thanks.

Hello,

we have just released the third (and hopefully last) release candidate of WebsiteBaker 2.7 (https://forum.WebsiteBaker.org/index.php/topic,9243.0.html). Therefore we have closed this thread. Thank you very much for all your feedback regarding RC1/2.
