Community Driven (no replies)

hcgtv — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 06:39:52 +0000

Long time no post :)

Was testing out Gallery3 beta 2 today, giving it a test drive since they're heading towards a slimmer code base. Ran into some issues and started reading their support forum.

Gallery has little to do with xPattern you might be saying, but the reason I'm writing this post is because I came across this: One of the beautiful things about using git as our source management system, is how easy it is to fork a project and integrate patches from the forks.

I would of tacked it onto the Community driven SVN branch thread, but it was closed.

The party rages on....

Here's a sneak peak at the latest version of the xPattern admin.

I'm sure there will be questions/comments/concerns/critiques.
Hang tight - things will become clearer when we release the HTML mockup.

xPattern features (1 reply)

towndock — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 07:57:13 +0000

Reading the forum, it sounds like a usable initial release of xPattern is near. Can someone provide a simple list of key features/differentiations that xPattern has vs Textpattern. I'm trying to understand the advantages of xPattern vs the new release (4.07) of Textpattern. Thank you....

Groups and Permissions (3 replies)

Manfre — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 08:19:17 +0000

I have moved both groups ($levels in txp) and permissions ($txp_permissions) in to the database. There is a very basic UI to allow adding and deleting each, but nothing that allows assigning permissions to a group. I am in need of UI design assistance on how to make this happen in an easy to use way for the user. I can write the php code to sit behind the interface you design.

Txp to xPat Migration/Upgrade (3 replies)

Manfre — Thu, 27 Nov 2008 14:12:19 +0000

Before our first release, we need an easy to follow process for converting a Textpattern installation in to xPattern.

This is a request for anyone to attempt the migration and document the outcome. I want to get this process working smoothly before Jan 1.

Bitbucket vs Launchpad (5 replies)

jm — Sun, 28 Sep 2008 17:54:08 +0000

Poll: Repo-host

Should we stick with Launchpad or move to Bitbucket? bzr and hg are quite similar, in terms of usage and commands, so the only real difference is the code-host.

Repos:

[bitbucket.org] (converted bzr repo to hg)
[code.launchpad.net]

repo moved to bitbucket? (1 reply)

I saw some xpattern activity over on bitbucket.org

Is the code hosting moving over there, or just testing the waters?

Dear ladies and gentlemen,

A new version of our forum software was released today, since I closely monitor SVN and run a local copy for testing purposes, I upgraded this board to this new version as soon as it was baked.

Blurbs (4 replies)

Manfre — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 20:50:07 +0000

With revision 1249, I added a common storage table for character data. This replaces txp_form, txp_page, txp_css and will store the soon to be committed "txp_js".

table blurb

id - primary key, since everything should have one
name - displayed name of the data
type - the type of data represented. 'form', 'page', etc...
theme - not fully implemented yet, but will allow support for grouping lots of data in to themes. 'default' and '' are reserved theme names
content - the data
mime_type - could be useful for knowing how to render the data straight to the browser, or if there is any processing that needs to be done on read.

All blurb related functions will be located in ./lib/lib_blurb.php. The current exceptions are fetch_form and similar functions that I have not moved yet. Whenever possible, the get_blurb, set_blurb, and delete_blurb functions should be used instead of straight queries due to automatic caching.

The automatic caching currently goes the simple route of storing everything in $GLOBALS['blurb_cache'], but I plan on expanding this to a more extensible layer that should allow caching to file, memcached, etc.

Pet Chickens (6 replies)

I was recently in the news because my wife and I want to raise chickens on our property. Story

We went out of the way to find a house without an HOA because we didn't want anyone telling us what we could do on our property. Oh well, now we're fighting the local government to let us provide a bit of our own food. Ironically, the state was previously known for agriculture.

Log system for xpattern (33 replies)

Dragondz — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 16:20:01 +0000

Hi all the team

After a chat with manfre, i proposed myself for coding a log system for xpattern.

The log system will store all event in a mysql table i propose to name it:

txp_log_event or txp_admin_log

Wich information will be stored there:

user
time
event (article,comment,page,css,module,link,image,category,section,username...)
id (article_id, image_id, ...)
step (create,modify,delete,logon,logoff)
IP

I think that the code must be attached to eash submit button.

Is there other things i missed about that?

Hi,

Upgraded to the new release today, version 2008-05-05, changelog.

Feels faster to me, at least on certain operations. I had been running it locally for the last couple of months, didn't see any issues crop up, so I decided to upgrade before I go adding more content.

If you encounter any problems, let me know.

Google Code (11 replies)

hcgtv — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 15:38:35 +0000

xPats,

When we started this project, we went with Launchpad to handle our code commits.

Since then, Textpattern has moved their repository a couple of times which threw off our auto merging capabilities. Which was one of the selling points, being able to let the system handle code merges.

Also, I feel that the lack of knowledge with Bazaar has hindered those that are familiar with SVN to get involved.

So I ask, should we move from Launchpad to Google Code?

Forum Feed and Images Annoyance (3 replies)

Posts which contain the "mod_embed_images" script, such as this one, always report as being updated whenever the feed is refreshed.

At a glance the cause appears to be that some kind of random number generation is being used:
