PyroCMS v0.9.7.4 - an open-source modular general purpose CMS

i will playing around with v0.9.6.2 then :lol:

do you think this version is ready for serious project? is there any documented change log somewhere?

[eluser]Phil Sturgeon[/eluser]
v0.9.6.2 is just as bad. I really screwed up here by not maintaining the old v0.9.6.x branch with bug-fixes while working on the big new features in v0.9.7. It meant that the bug fixes could not be applied to the old version and the codebase in the repo was premature for use.

I would use the current main codebase. Go here and click download (when GitHub has stopped being broken).

It should be ready for development soon, it needs some testing. Report back any bugs you find while playing and they will fixed as soon as possible.

Right now I think our main issue is useability, it seems pretty stable to me right now.

would it be possible to get the beta version of Yoricks widget library put into it too? i would really love to test it out but at the same time test out the latest release of pyro that comes out. Have a client that could use the widget system quite heavilly.

I will put the widget library into the development branch as soon as v0.9.7 is stable and out in the wild. I want to focus on getting ONE fully working release of PyroCMS before I start tainting the main with unfinished features again. >.<

Hi Phil,
I tested the new PyroCMS, and found the autoload configuration made Pages and Galleries module load a helper function create_tree_view(). I removed pages helpers from autoload and it run again.
- When adding new content on the backend, is it more convenient to redirect right back to the Add page, instead of Index one?
- The views/admin/fragments/breadcrumbs is not in the layout. To display it, I also prepend "admin/". $breadcrumb['url_ref'] instead of only $breadcrumb['url_ref']. Is it the correct way to modify it?
Lately, I dive into your code alot. It really impressed me. I'm trying to write some sample module based on existed one. Also, I think the orange theme is much nicer than the default one.

Those have all been solved other than breadcrumbs.

I disabled breadcrumbs because the generalized logic they use to work is just not good enough. It bases the breadcrumbs on URL segments, which works MOST of the time, but not all.

For example:

Admin :: News :: Edit :: 1

The first two links work fine but the Edit link points to admin/news/edit which just redirects to the index. These breadcrumbs are also not multi-lingual as they are based on controller, method names, etc.

The plan was to just leave them disabled for now then use the $this->layout->add_breadcrumb('admin/something', lang('module_name')) etc.

I would override your changes with the ones from GitHub, or we will slowly end up with two different codebases lol.

v0.9.7 has been released!

This new version includes many things.

Sexy new Page manager - Use a tree navigation view to manage your unlimited levels of pages.
Image uploading via TinyMCE - Not just any plugin, Richard Wills (@badsyntax) has been going nuts on the development here and made an amazing product.
Improved interface - Now using a slightly darker theme. Less brown, more black and orange. Sadly no Hot Pink EE fans.
French support - Yep, PyroCMS has learnt another language!
General coolness...

There really has been too much to remember. Grab it now and start having fun!

Sadly if you have lots of pages your upgrade path is tricky... Talk to me if the UPGRADE instructions don't tickle your fancy.

ok, first bug in this new 0.9.7.

Going through the installer, i get to step 4 with the database creation. I type in the name of the database, and click on 'create database', then when i click on 'finish', it just reloads that step.

I loaded up phpmyadmin and found that it indeed did create the new database, the installer just has a little bug in it that is obviously stopping it from going on any further.

I then chose to just go back to the webpage (since it created the database), and the page comes up with

An Error Was Encountered

Fatal error, is CMS installed?

For fucks sake, don't tell me Yorick has broken the installer AGAIN?

That means that the settings table is not populated. Think you could have a look for the fix? At work all day >.<

Why thanks for being a dick once more. No I didn't touch the last step at all so it should be working fine. I'll take a look at it later today.
