Bug Fixes and Update..
I put up another snapshot of the code which fixes all of the bugs talked about on the forum.

I'm going to be spending the next two or three days locked in a room doing documentation and some more testing.

Expect a public beta on friday.

Cheers,

Alex

It installed and ran without errors this time!

Even got my paths right :)

Get some sleep, _THEN_ lock yourself in that room ;)

Spoke too soon... when I went in to set the image paths, the program picked the build_root_url and build_images_url as the /cgi-bin/ not the /public/ directory :) It's still parsing the wrong path. But... It got it right on the first page~!!

Ok, a strange problem I noticed with the last version, and now this one, but not with the previous ones.

The browse applet seems to open a lot of pages, then close itself up. If I look at the history, I can go back about 10 pages, and see the open tree, but if I click on it, it does the same thing.

Very Good news. Bring coffee in that room? Bring a bed too?

If I could only import my existing 20k entries... then that'd be great :)

hehe

well it installed perfectly first time. Couple of things:

1) images don't work in the category browser. Is that what you meant pugdog?
2) no idea how to assign a user as an editor to a category and how that works? any pointers or should i just wait for the manual!
3) Installed the plugin, wow that was smooth. What an amazing feature i must say - so good!

Very pleased so far and only been playing ten minutes and i will be carefull :) hehe.

No...the images work, just make sure you edit your set-up paths.

You also must move the images out of the cgi-bin directory, since apache will not serve _anything_ from a scriptalias directory _except_ scripts. (data-push).

The problem I have is with the tree itself. It opens, and immediately closes.


The alpha 7 (or 6) worked. The alpha 8 didn't, and the alpha 9 doesn't.

I had both an alpha 7 installation and alpha 8 on my site. I got my categories and browsed just fine with the alpha 7 and not the alpha 9. I think that rules out a browser problem (same windows, two windows, same session).

yup my tree dosen't work either, nothing happens when i click (or if it does goes back straight away). I thought it was related to the images problem but that makes sense.

when i try and change the path for the image directory it says that all paths have been updated but then loads the page exactly with the old (wrong) information again.

Could there be a permission error or something so the def file is not being updated?

No...
Once you change the paths, you need to REFRESH the browser window :)

Your top frame has the old paths in it.

Also, make _SURE_ you _really_ changed the paths. There is a problem with how Links is guessing the path information.

Make sure you are really looking in your HTML directory, _AND_ you don't have the extra path in the build_URL box there, such as /htdocs/ or /public/ ... remember, it's a URL, not a path.

Took me 2 tries to get it right, and I knew what I was looking for <G>

Re: Bug Fixes and Update.. In reply to
thank you (i will try not to be mr newbie for long!)

what it was was that my build path was wrong and in cgi-bin folder. It seems that the images path is directed to the images folder in there and can't be changed? Once i change the build path it auto changed the images path.

That solved it, thanks a lot :)
