phpwcms 1.2.9 - 27/02/2007

[Oliver Georgi]

OK friends,

[UPDATE 27-02-07] Just a qucik fix to handel a problem with template listing in the backend. Available on SourceForge...

[UPDATE 26-02-07] Some smaller fixes are included. A patch is available on Sourceforge too. Sorry - I have fever today and don't feel very well.

Thanks for your patience, your support, your hope, your credits, your loyalty, your belief.

I want to let you know - the next step is done. I have released phpwcms 1.2.9 - still not final (it's always work in progress) but stable and the most enhanced than ever. Normally it should be numbered as 1.3.5 – but you know – I’m not the number wonder…

Download phpwcms 1.2.9

It will be just an interims release because there are some more features which are still under development. But there will be no long delay until this will be available (I hope). I recommend using this new release!

As always: make a backup before you upgrade or update or install anything!

For anybody of you being just interested to test the new release I have built 2 different virtual machines including “Damn Small Linux, Aachefriends.org XAMPP, phpwcms 1.2.9” – one for Virtual PC 2007 (Windows XP/2003/Vista) and another one for Parallels Desktop/Workstation (Mac OS X 10.4.6+, Windows NT/2000/XP/2003, Linux). These have everything installed to start testing phpwcms instantly. Please: this is unsupported. It’s recommend that you have a DHCP compatible network. Here you can find a short “How to start virtual test environment”.

Download virtual machine for Virtual PC 2007 166MB
Download virtual machine for Parallels 165MB

There will be no upgrade package available for older releases including changed files only – but database upgrades are included. It’s not useful because there are too many file changes.

27-02-2007

1. [FIX] makeEmailSpamSave.php enhanced to avoid replacing email adresses in <input> and <textarea> fields.
2. [FIX] A not neccessary type check for templates removed. After saving template was not visible anymore.

26-02-2007

1. [FIX] Missing check against "hide title" and "hide summary text" for article detail view im plemented. If "hide" is enabled everything between [SUMMARY][/SUMMARY] or [TITLE][/TITLE] is replaced by empty string.
2. [FIX] "include/inc_front/content/cnt12.article.inc.php" line 150 "$mail->Subject = $content['newsletter']['subject'];"
3. [FIX] Creating a new newsletter recipient in backend was impossible because of an crippled INSERT SQL query. The verification hash was missing.
4. [FIX] A langage var was missing for CSV import title (EN only).
5. [FIX] On backend "home" listing of content parts could be false in case an article was deleted.

22-02-2007

1. [FIX] Content part search is able to handle search starting at specific levels. Needs a bit more testing.
2. [FIX] Small fix for phpwcms internal GET array in case PHP's GET handling is not able to detect GET values without "=".
3. [UPDATE] Spaw 1.2.1.
4. [CHANGE] GT MOD returns CSS background images wrapped in a <div>. The replaced text is wrapped in a hidden <span>.
5. [FIX] When just index.php was opened without an additional GET value a totally false page could be opened.
6. [ADD] Content part search enhanced by file name search.
7. [ADD] New parameter for content part search - minimum number of chars per search input.
8. [ADD] Content part list enhanced by selection for <ul>, <ol> and <dl>. <dl> is a bit tricky and not the best solution - use pipe "|" in the same "~" level to split <dt> and <dd>.
9. [FIX] Content part serach - try correct UTF-8 charset conversion for result's listing.
10. [ADD] Content part search searches for ul/ol/dl list content part too.
11. [ADD] Alternative pagetitle for article and structure level. If set these will be taken and rendered in frontend.

15. [ADD] "Update" button for editing article summary.
16. [CHANGE] "fckeditor_config.js.php" moved from "/config/phpwcms/" to "/include/inc_ext/FCKeditor2/". Seems to be problematic with some server configurations where "/config" is used as server alias.
17. [CHANGE] Content part space before and after - style "clear:both" removed. Could cause strange rendering effects.
18. [ADD] 2 new template settings for article pagination. See "$template_default['article_paginate_navi']" and "$template_default['article_paginate_show']" in "conf.template_default.inc.php" for more
19. [CHANGE] When ever possible a string will be enclosed by single quotes.
20. [ADD] {NAV_LIST_UL} enhanced by "id" for <li> in case "ul_id_name" is set. It will generate "id=li_ul_id_name_levelID". With this you can set individual styles for any level or trigger JavaScript actions.
21. [FIX] Fixes a problem for some PHP GD versions in combination with Flash files - false file extension could be the result of it - swf -> swf. Additional file extension check implemented avoiding this.
22. [FIX] Guestbook backend template fixed - wrong table information.
23. [FIX] If AliasID is used in content part guestbook it's possible to edit entries of alias guestbook too.
24. [CHANGE] GT MOD renderer processed after frontend_render.
25. [ADD] New array value "$content['globalRT']" where you can register global custom replacement tags like "$content['globalRT']['{MY_RT}']='<code>';". Good in combination with frontend_init.
26. [CHANGE] Article listing with new default template.
27. [ADD] Calendar development started - at the moment it's kind like a custom script for frontend_render in combination with "calendar.ini".
28. [FIX] Possible validation problem for Google sitemap in "sitemap.php" fixed.
29. [UPDATE] Bad Behavior 2.0.6
30. [UPDATE] Deluxe Menu replacement tag: {DELUXE_MENU:ID} ID is the start point for a specific structure level ID. To use it check "phpwcms_template/inc_script/frontend_render/disabled/deluxe-menu.com.php".
31. [ADD] HTTP headers based on page rendering: Expires, Last-Modified, Pragma and Cache-Control. Cache-Control and Pragma set to "public".
32. [ADD] New backend vars which can be used to inject code by special custom code: $BE['HEADER'], $BE['BODY_OPEN'], $BE['BODY_CLOSE']. All are arrays and are imploded by LF.
33. [FIX] Language merge (EN is the basis) for "login.php" implemented.
34. [ADD] Turkish language - thanks to "aerkanc - gmail com"
35. [CHANGE] Keywords editing changed completely. Will be extended much more.
36. [ADD] 2nd PNG workaround for IE <= 6 implemented. To use this set "$phpwcms['IE_htc_png'] = 2".
37. [FIX] Fixed a problem for content part select menu - [text] was still shown there because of a missing var check.
38. [ADD] New config setting "$phpwcms['Bad_Behavior']" for Bad Behavior On/Off. Enable Bad Behavior spam blocking by setting it to 1=On, or 0=Off;
39. [FIX] Replacement tag {BROWSE:PREV:Linktext:0} did not work - failed by always delivering the category-UP link. It's fixed now.
40. [ADD] Images for article details and article listing selectable now.
41. [ADD] New place holder tag for pagination and max search results and max articles - use "#####";
42. [ADD] Setting for max summary words being listed in article listing. When the field is empty full article summary is rendered.
43. [CHANGE] Limitation of 65000 chars for article summary removed.
44. [FIX] Fixes function "html_specialchars()" to handle "…" and/or "&ndash;". The old one could produce "&ndash;".
45. [ADD] Aarabic language added - but very limited support. So check it out - not recommend at the moment. Seems to work well with UTF-8 only.
46. [FIX] Article content preview button linked against false target because wrong categrory ID was given.
47. [FIX] False "\" backslash in "admin.functions.inc.php" causes an error for "cut&paste"-ing content part into article.
48. [FIX] RSS feed fixed to handle HTML entities in a more optimal way.
49. [CHANGE] Content part space before and after possible up to 9999px.
50. [ADD] Function "list_articles_summary()" enhanced for alternative article array setting.
51. [FIX] Fixed feeds.php - when charsets are different the converted string was not sent back. Oh Oliver, you are soooooo stupid
52. [FIX] Highlight seems to work now very well also for parts of a string.
53. [FIX] Creating new article and username contains an "'" causes a SQL error.
54. [FIX] Possible problem in default.inc.php -> function buildGlobalGET() and in case $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] is empty.

58. [ADD] New content part FAQ.
59. [ADD] Guestbook enhanced: image, sorting
60. [FIX] Some misconfigured PHP installs might loose session information if header redirecting is used and session information is not given as GET value. Needs some more checks, but it seems to fail if "session.use_cookies=Off" is set in php.ini - recommend value is "session.use_cookies=On".
61. [FIX] GT Mod optimized for line breaks too - no more double spaces neccessary. Use [br] or <br> or simple linefeeds.
62. [FIX] Function headerRedirect() fixed for a problem that could cause in loosing the session.
63. [FIX] Guestbook default template is CSS based now. A new setting enables or disables captcha check and length of the captcha code. The captcha check was buggy as long as somebody has tried to send POST vars directly and without a var for captcha code. Detailed error messages are available now and can be custom overwritten.
64. [ADD] 2 new fields for content parts: spacer and template -> name of the template will be stored in seperate db field (will be changed step by step).

71. [ADD] Additional new text/html field for content part email form - content will be displayed above the form only when form wasn't sent. Normally a text to tell a user what the form is for - an information most times not useful after sending it.
72. [FIX] File Downloads in frontend had a huge problem - why ever the partial download functionality seems to be not usable in all server configurations. So it's removed.
73. [CHANGE] Content part "file list" changed for template based frontend rendering. It supports direct downloads. Each file can have additional settings like file title, description, target.
74. [FIX] Fix for outdated base64_decode() of pagelayout vars in admin.templates.tmpl.php (line 234).
75. [ADD] Content part "email form" enhanced for custom subject based on a form field (supported: text, list, select, hidden) and additional "CC" addresses.
76. [CHANGE] No content part switching for email form possible anymore - it's more safe!

78. [FIX] GT Mod fix - function's paramteter changed for backend too.
79. [FIX] File delete.
80. [FIX] Searching for an alias in db changed from "LIKE" to "=" - should be a bit faster.

85. [FIX] Missing global var $aktion for function "showSelectedContent()".

88. [FIX] PixelTracking for phpMyVisites enhanced for SiteID and varname corrected. Also enhanced page name detection and additional value for form sent by method "post".
89. [UPDATE] Bad Behavior 2.0.7

     [*][CHANGE] Field "detail_newsletter" in "phpwcms_userdetail" changed. It is used to store the ID of a related entry in "phpwcms_address".

     [*][ADD] "phpwcms_userdetail" enhanced by 5 fields of type varchar "detail_varchar1" ... "detail_varchar5" and 3 fields of type TEXT "detail_text1" ... "detail_text3".
     [*][ADD] "phpwcms_template" enhanced by field "template_type" - in case of an update all existing template entries will get type "0" which means general template. Based on type it will be possible to edit different kind of templates like content parts.
     [*][ADD] Article content parts prepared for live and killdate and special db-based templates.
     [*][CHANGE] If special type of content part is unset in "include/inc_lib/article.editcontent.inc.php" it will not be available in backend and frontend.

     [*][CHANGE] When "error" page is shown a 404 header is sent. I think it's better because such content is not interesting for search engines and should be declared as "not found".
     [*][FIX] When using phpwcms on MySQL >= 4.1 setting correct DB charset and collation shoud work better now. For MySQL < 4.1 "SET NAMES" has no effect.
