PageBuilder plugin - version 1.0.3
I have just uploaded a new version (1.0.3) to the plugin server.

This new version contains a bug fix and a new feature.

Bug fix:
there was a problem with the installation of the plugin with the latest version of Links SQL (2.1.2), which has been fixed. This bug does not affect older versions of Links SQL.

New feature:
there is a new field called MIME Type for the page definition. This allows you to serve any kind of page in dynamic mode (e.g. plain text, xml, vcf, etc). Previously, this was only possible in static mode.

You are recommended to upgrade if you require the new feature.

Can you give an example of what to write in the mime field? (and what to put in the file type field)

I can give you one example...

I use it to create vCards for companies listed in a Links database.

So by using application/x-vcard combined with Link pages it can genrate vCards on the fly...

But you can use for anything that requires different headers.

Hi John

I'll elaborate a bit more on the vcard example that Klaus uses.

You can set the following fields for a link type page:

mime type => application/x-vcard
filename => <%Title%>.vcf

That will produce a vcard file (which is just a text file, but the header that the webserver sends is important so that the browser knows what to do) and if the users clicks on 'Save', the proposed filename will be 'Whatever the Link Title is'.vcf (i.e. <%Title%> will be replace by the title of the link. You can use any field from the Links/Category/etc database).

Like this you can now produce any kind of file type that is just a text file (so you could also use it for application/xml type pages and the like).

BUG:

PageBuilder doesn't build the title_linked url's correctly.

I have e.g. a parentpage.html (-> Home : Parent) and a sub.html page (-> Home : Parent : Sub)

my pb_root_url is http://www.domain.de/shopping

all pages are build correctly and saved into the shopping-directory. But the title_linked on the sub.html for parentpage.html points at http://www.domain.de/parentpage.html instead of pointing to http://www.domain.de/shopping/parentpage.html !!


Edit: It's also the same with the URL for "Home"


Even if I enter the data for pb_root_url and pb_root_path it's still the same!

Manu

This is indeed a bug, thanks for telling me.

For 'simple' pages, the 'pb_root_url' and 'pb_root_path' settings were simply neglected. Other page types were fine.

I have fixed the bug and updated the plugin. You can download version 1.0.4 from your Links SQL admin panel.

I've updated the plugin but the bug still exists!!!!

Or have I to change something in the page definitions??


Also the Home-Link doesn't point to the pb_root_url but to the domain-name

As far as I know, the bug is fixed!!!!

You might have to update your settings for 'pb_root_url' and 'pb_root_path' in the plugin options.

The bug is fixed in version 1.0.4, but still there in 1.0.3. Which version are you using?

If you are under mod_perl, have you restarted your mod_perl server?

It this doesn't help, can you give me admin access, so that I can have a look?

It works!

I think -again- the mod-perl-server was the problem!

Thanks again!

I'm experiencing this BUG when trying to build a category type page with the Breadcrumb Type option set to Category. The Title Linked is incorectly pointing to the Links SQL Category tree, instead of the newly pagebuilder generated one. How can I fix this?
