TP3 is now in SVN

FYI, I just did an upgrade of a TP1 site to the latest TP3 snapshot from Raymond’s branch in SVN and the upgrade went flawlessly. Great stuff xWisdom!

Fresh installs go equally as well.

Here’s the latest snapshot from SVN for those that don’t have access.

Many thanks Jason

Raymond and I went through a couple of things and now SMF is working as a module in MODx. Haven’t replaced the login/logout calls yet, but it works great! Working on converting the configuration pages to real semantic forms to squish some rendering bugs in Safari.

TP3 is gonna rock!

I’m using TP3 (from a few days ago) on a new site; installed and is working with no problems at all. Now if I only knew how to use it all! Kind of like sitting a new driver who’s only driven an automatic in a supersonic jet cockpit!

I did an upgrade to the last svn and everything seemed fine til I tried to edit something. the fckeditor didn’t show up and it seems, if I remember correctly, that the preview was always of the home page. I then did a fresh install and the editor showed up. I then went back to the upgrade and deleted all the files and copied the backup before I did the upgrade but left the database the same and the editor didn’t show up then either. Updated cache and no editor. So I think it might be in the config table some how. Don’t know really but it worked before I did the upgrade.

Where do you set the introtext field so that you can have news items or use the newslisting snippet.

Hi All,

SVN now updated with a few more bug fixes and GUI tweaks:

* add view state support to ManagerAPI. e.g $modx->manager->initPageViewState(); $_PAGE[’vs’][’name’] = ’MODx’;
* remove content manager parser. Use $modx->loadExtension("ManagerAPI");
* add gui enhancements to user listing.
* fix bug in template switch

Some sections of the manage (datagrid) is now using Page ViewState for retaining variables for a specific page between postbacks.

Strider,

After an upgrade did you remember to save the System Configuration settings? If no You should edit it and then click save.

introtext is the database column, summary is the name of the field in the manager

Hi Raymond,

Can you explain the view state stuff a bit more. Not totally clear on that.

Thanks!

In a nut shell it’s kinda like the $_SESSION object but it only lives for as long an the page is viewed. It provides a way for the form to store values and for controls to temporaily store special properties.

Example the DataGrid control uses the DataParger control which stores the current page number inside the $_PAGE[’vs] object as $_PAGE[’vs’][’dbpager1_dnpg’]. So whenever you post a value from the form or refesh the page the $_PAGE[’vs’][’dbpager1_dnpg’] will still contain the value. This is just another step closer to some of the powerful widgets that will be used in TV2.

Think of ASP.NET when you think of View State.
