[quote author="Nicholas Valbusa" date="1327941874"][quote author="areesto" date="1327940189"]Hi Nicholsa,

Are you planing for some future versions of getbancha or some tutorials on it? it would be great if there is more users functions like adding the field creator on record table to know who create the post.

Thanks.[/quote]
Hello,
I'm planning to do some screencasts and written tutorials, more detailed than the introduction tutorial that you can find here:
http://docs.getbancha.com/firststeps/index.html

On the next release I also expect to add an "author" field on the records table. By the way, you can add it by yourself using an xml field like this:

Code:

<field id="author">
    <type>hidden</type>
    <default>eval:$this->user('id');</default>
</field>

Futher info about the fields: http://docs.getbancha.com/content-types/...ields.html

You can also use $this->user('full_name') or $this->user('username')

On the post, you get the value as follows:

Code:

$post->get('author');

Thank you very much, as i can see it's very flexible!!

Hello, I just released a unix bash script with some utilities, such as "install" and "update".
You can find it here: https://github.com/squallstar/bancha-bash

It's very easy to install, as you can see on the readme file.

Code:

wget -q http://getbancha.com/utilities.txt -O _bnc.sh
chmod +x _bnc.sh
sudo mv _bnc.sh /usr/bin/bancha

And then,

Code:

bancha install

or

Code:

bancha update

More info and documentation here: https://github.com/squallstar/bancha-bash

Bancha is good and lightweight, I like it!
Anyway... There are some problems for me (I need Bancha as multilanguage). During install, I can choose from 3 languages (Endglish, German, Italian). But as far as I can see... There are no translations for German in the folders (there are some for Italian). So, if there are no translated files, why we have the option to select German?

And in app/config/website.php only 'en' is added to the lang array. So, these (half) installed languages are confusing. I am trying to add another language (not German or Italian) and this is not an easy job.

One more issue... When I am editting the homepage (in English, published), I have a big and nice WYSIWYG editor. No matter what I add there (as text, emoticons, etc.), nothing shows on the page. The text on the page remains the same:

This script is located here: themes/sandbox/views/templates/homepage.php

Note that this is also a Record of type Menu marked as website homepage on the settings.

I'm not telling that this is a bug, but I need some more info here. Should I manually edit this template? Or can I insert some text and images with this editor?
Because, as I said... Adding some text in this rich text editor does... simply nothing on the page itself :roll:

Hi Victorche,
the german translations are contained inside the core/languages/de_DE folder, as you can see here:
https://github.com/squallstar/bancha/tre...C_MESSAGES

Bancha uses two different files for the admin and the website translation. By default, the german translation is available (and enabled) on the administration, and you can test it editing your user and changing the language from the select.

The app/config/website.php file refers to the website available languages, and they can differ from the administration ones. To add a new language on the website frontend, just follow the documentation here:
http://docs.getbancha.com/languages/add.html

Homepage: the text that you see "This script is located bla bla bla..." it's just an example. You have to remove it inside the view template (homepage.php).
If you wish to display the text that you entered on the textarea in the "Homepage" record of type "Menu", just put an echo in the homepage template as follows:

Code:

<?php echo page('content'); ?>

Just tell me if you have any other doubt I'm here for this.

Hello,
I used NivoSlider, it's really easy to use: http://nivo.dev7studios.com/

To extract the contents, just create a content type with an images field and extract it on the homepage view as follows:

Code:

$teasers = find('Teasers')->limit(10)->order_by('date_update', 'DESC')->get();

foreach ($teasers as $teaser) {
    $imgs = $teaser->get('teaser_image'); //images field
    $path = $imgs[0]->path; //the first image
    echo '<img src="' . $path . '" />'; //prints the image
}
