MODx 0.9.7 alpha (rev 2218)

MODx 0.9.7 alpha (rev 2218)
I added 0.9.7-alpha to the list of current versions in the bug tracker so we can start tracking additional issues as usual.

Thanks to everyone for the first round of testing on rev 2128; it was very useful and revealing. Here is the latest alpha build with most of the critical issues resolved. Let’s find and fix some more.

[NOTE: builds updated to revision 2218 on Jan 10, 2007, shortly after updating to 2212, sorry!]

Merry Christmas everyone!

Downloaded and off to installing this new baby

Thanks Jason and Merry Christmas !

Merry Christmas indeed! Great work, Jason

(My problem with the sessions was as Scotty described, this revision works like a charm with the db sessions - woohoo!)

Installed new, with full demo site content, on local MAMP, without a bit of trouble.

Installed fine on a PHP 5.2.0 + Apache 2.2 + MySQL 4.1.11 (Debian Sarge), and it seems that PDO is not installed on this server, at least couldn’t find anything about it in the phpinfo. With a quick glance I only noticed that contact us page in default content has a snippet call [[Contac tForm? &sendTo=`[(emailsender)]`]] which isn’t parsed properly (that inner snippetcall is not being parsed). And then I had few browser related issues that happens on 095 too (konqueror).. Good job!

I found a few more bugs yesterday, most notably, TV’s were not getting saved, and saving a document was not properly setting the new class_key field on the site_content table, so in certain cases, if you save changes to a document, the site will break since it is unable to create the context cache properly after that. This has been fixed in my branch in SVN and I’ll get another build out later today with any more fixes I can get it in the meantime. Keep testing and finding what I broke...

Interesting catch. I too found another strange situation where the tags were not being parsed properly in a nested situation. I believe I introduced this problem when solving another one recently where a CDATA definition in a JS comment within script tags was confusing the parser (i.e. CDATA sections end with ]]>). I’m back into the algorithm, looking for ways to repair that. If anyone else is interested in taking a look at the logic, the parsing mechanisms are contained in /core/xpdo/om/modx095/modparser.class.php (and /core/xpdo/om/modx095/modparser095.class.php). The collectElementTags() function is the one responsible for identifying and collecting the tags to parse.

I’m not sure about what’s causing this, but when editing the two existing modules (quick edit and docmanager) it doesn’t show the two extra tabs (configuration, dependencies). The configuration tab does show for a new module. This is the new installation with 2135 and PHP 5.

The other installation, also 2135, on PHP 4, does have all three tabs for existing modules, but only offers the Configuration tab for a new module. This is the upgrade.

Susan, this is being caused by issues with the datagrid and datasetpager classes. I need to refactor these using xPDO or rewrite everything in the manager that uses those classes to use the MakeTable class included in xPDO.

Revision 2140 has some more improvements and is now available if you haven’t already started with a recent version...updating the original post...

Great

Indeed I didn’t even have time to check 2135 out, but I am watching this thread very closely !
I’ll to give this a test run later today... thanks for the update
