I LOVE being able to rearrange the blocks so easily!

Just checking out the RC release and noticed something wierd with XSilver. It seems for some odd reason "listside.thtml" just deleted itself...

I remember working with XSilver on the default installation. I remember the new features of the blocks administrative interface...

All I did was make a copy of XSilver, then, I overwrote the copy with files from a new theme I am working on...

Basically everything looked good until I tried accessing the blocks administrative panel. I was prompted with a file does not exist "listside.thtml"...

First thing I did was check to see if the file existed in XSilver *but* it didn't. So, I immediately switched back to XSilver to see if I could access the Block admin...

No go... It was there before and after a theme change it simply disappeared and sprouted the error...

This was a brand new install...

Also, since their seems to be a minor database change, will an sql file be available with the final release?

There isn't any code in Geeklog that deletes template files, so I'm not sure what's happening there ...

Also, there are quite a few database changes in 1.3.9 and as usual, you should simply run the install script in upgrade mode and Geeklog will handle them for you.

bye, Dirk

Do you think it's could be possible to have a diff between older version and this one ?

under unix use:
diff -r <old-geeklog-dir> <new-geeklog-dir>

under windows download one of the many free diff tools.

Use the web based CVS viewer to view differences in the files. Here is an example of a diff of config.php (using long format, 1.3.9rc1 against 1.3.8-1sr4).

I found out the problem. I apologize for my quickness in detailing it. I was accessing an older version of XSilver :(

The one I got had a MySQL error on the install. It said "You have an error in your MySQL query"

i just installed 1.3.9rc1 on a test site. i likes. can't wait to be able to use it on a live site. i the like rss options. :) :)

is there any good reason the default blocks aren't able to be topic specific like nondefault blocks? i've moved all the default blocks into my lib-custom so I can have them display where i want them. would it be ok to remove the code from the lib-common, or would that do something unhappy to geeklog? and, just out of curiosity, is it possible to call block functions in static pages? what about in the header.thtml?

the instructions for "php in static pages" don't work for me. the 'staticpages.PHP' toggle isn't listed in the permissions. anyone else have this problem? (screenshot) i checked my static page config.php to make sure it wasn't flagged off there.
i'm logged in as admin.
fresh install 1.3.9rc1 install.

thanks!

Yeah thanks about the diff command (diff -urN would be better actually) but just it's make life easier to provide it..

A file listing all the changed files since 1.3.8-1sr4 is included with 1.3.9rc1 (docs/changed-files). For everything else there's CVS (don't forget our CVS web frontend).

In the sources are references found to:
- custom_usersave and custom_saveuser
Also, new functions are referenced, but *not* present:
- custom_displayuser
- custom_edituser
What is happening here? What will be the next step ?
Is custom_memberinfo silently turned into a semi-plugin? What about the custom_registration plugin? Should I continue the development of that plugin?

No conspiracy here, just the usual lack of documentation ;-)

I had a look at your custom registration add-on, but it required too many (unnecessary, IMHO) changes to Geeklog's core code.

I'd suggest you contact Blaine on this, as he is probably the only person that really understands how the custom registration code works ...

bye, Dirk

it would appear the updated lib-custom with examples of these functions was not included. The hooks in the CORE GL have been added to call user-defined custom functions to address previous problems and missing features.

This is far from a plugin but provides the core GL hooks for custom changes and potential plugin use.

A plugin should require no Core File changes.

CVS has been updated and the missing examples will be included in RC2. The added API hooks allow developers to add custom functions to handle member (Add,edit,delete,display and moderate).

I have included a simplied example that works without any DB Changes just a few template changes. Adding a template variable {customfields} is all that is required to include any custom Edit/Display HTML with displaying or editing member profiles.

FYI. Advanced search on this site for "calendar event type language" as
"exact phrase" and "all of these words" yields the same results, which look
more like a search for the latter.

(By the way, I was searching to see if anyone had requested that the
calendar event types be moved from config.php to the language files, and
then made a list that admin can select from in the control panel). ;)

Cheers

Euan.
