VersionX - Alpha 3 is out now!

I have just released Alpha3, with quite some improvements.

Alpha3:
- [#13] Added a few more lexicon strings, improved some error handling, improved code readability
- [#4/#6/#14] Updated grid list processor for usability (date formatting, boolean is now yes/no, editedby (and similar) now gives users full name, template shows template name..
- [#11] Increased width of modal windows. Moved content to its own tab in view details window.
- [#10] Rewrote processor request for restore to make it functional again.
- Renamed processor files to lowercase to prevent it from failing.
- [#15] Removed slash for better path handling (smooth-graphics)
- [#9/#15] Better distribution of columns in main grid (smooth-graphics)
- [#10] Remove mention of an overview from lexicons
- [#17] Added changelog to the installer / build
- [#13] Changed modified/created/restored values to lexicon references.

Please report any bugs at https://github.com/Mark-H/VersionX/issues or in this forum.

Download through package manager or from the Repository: http://modxcms.com/extras/package/792

If you’ve installed this, please let me know if the compare and restore functionality works properly now - I’ve addressed a few possibilities and they should work now. Please note that if you use PHP > 5.3.0 the resource content comparison will not work, this is due to a bug (well, the use of split() actually) in the xpdorevisioncontrol which has been filed.


Enjoy!

There seems to be a problem downloading via the package manager or repository... am looking in to it. Seems like the upload failed. It’s working

The package in the post above seems alright.

German users please note: there’s a new commit later than "alpha-3" for 2 new translation strings.
See here: https://github.com/smooth-graphics/VersionX/commit/ea430b848df6c0c6b05daaa40e09cdb6efba8bf8

Same for french users..


Before the next releases I’ll give the translators a shout out in advance Sorry

Compare is still not working for me. Tested only in Chrome, I’ll give you more information in a few days because I don’t have enough time at this moment ;(

:(

Okay, thanks for reporting back..

Some questions/things to check:
- When alpha3 is installed, can you check if core/components/versionx/processors/ has the filenames in all lowercase, so not compareResources, but compareresources? If not, try completely uninstalling and removing the package and installing alpha3 again.
- Does *anything* happen when you click the "Compare" item in the context menu? Does a modal window pop up with the Fields & Settings and Content tab?
-- If yes: What happens if you click the refresh icon at the bottom of the grid?
-- If no: are there any js errors given, or 404 ajax requests?
- View details works fine?
- What about the restore option, what does that do?
Some POST and response info would be awesome in debugging this too.

I assume you’ve used the traditional install, and didn’t move the core?

Just a little update on what’s going on... Made quite some minor tweaks over the past weeks, as well as fixing pagination on the overview page...

You can check what is still planned for Beta1 on the github page: https://github.com/Mark-H/VersionX/issues Please feel free to add anything to the discussion there as I would love to hear more about what you expect from the addon and the specific issues mentioned. There’s also a couple of major issues that I can’t figure out without more information, so if something happens to you also please do share what you are experience!

I’m hoping to round off Beta1 in a couple of weeks from now (including keeping track of TV values and filtering the overview resource ID, editor and mode - if you would like filtering on other fields too put it in the issue on Github!).
