Manual Module

[erpe]

Hi John

2 little things:

1.Backend/Options following message:
Notice: Undefined index: SETTINGS in /users/rvb/www/modules/manual/modify_settings.php on line 67

2. CSS frontend: class has to be .MLsub2chapt instead of yours .MLsubchapt2

 

Best wishes

Check your languag file for missing entry

Code:

$MLTEXT['SETTINGS'] = 'Manual Settings';

I updated only EN language

Attached new zip with corrected css.

Hi John,

I tested this version of Your manual with very poor success.

First I created several entries - 3 chapters, 1 sub-chapter, 1 sub-sub-chapter.
Than I wanted to show it. The main-index displayed correct, but even the 1. chapter was "file not found"
So to all other pages.

Than I deleted all chapters and sub-chapters and started over. Created 1 chapter only. But this doesn´t show up at all.
I could change and modify in the backend, but it´s not displayed at all.
Of course I tried several different templates - same.

Than I tried to uninstall - I wanted to delete the page with the section manual - impossible! When I click on the trash the screen refreshes and stick withe. After a new refresh the page is still there.
So I deleted the chapter first - to have an empty manual - and tried to delete the page - no success.

Does this manual need php5 or MySQL5 ? I run it on Linux, php4 and MySQL4.

glueless regards from Himberg

Edit:
After removing the section I could delete the page. Than I deinstalled this version and reinstalled v2.7 - this works as expected. To create a chapter, a sub-chapter a second chapter - all ok, also displaying it is no problem.

Looks like the access files are not made. (hence file not found error)

Might have to do with creating the manual module in a subpage?
Do you have the default pages directory?

You could help me with looking at your pages directory to see if th files are made as expected in a submenu with the name of the page
You could allso check the mysql table - mod_manual_chaprter s and look at the link


Uninstall issues, is known, was in previous manual mod as well, will look into those as well.

I´ll try it on my xampp for now - there I have phpmyadmin and everything easy.

Than I´ll post You url and user/pw so could have a look to the installation in the web.
OK?

Will retry again tonight at home,

the changes I made creating the accessfiles and removing them was made on an install wich had the pages in place.
Will fire up a new wb install and retry the same.

I will corrct this.

Then the uninstall, I have to dig into that as well,
Problem lies in created accespages in the subdir with the name of the page, will find a way to resolve it.


Thanks,
John

Think I have solved it

Solved the links and accessfile creation/renaming
Solved the pagedeleting / section deleting

For your testing pleasures....

One known bug or feature still exists
If you make a chapter with subchapters with subsubchapters
when you place that chapter into another subchapter you will exceed the levels so beyond third level the chapters seems to be vansihed
When you move the chapter back to root they are back

example
1
- 2
- - 3
4
- 5
- - 6
move 4 to 2
1
-2
- - 3
- - 4
chapter 5 and 6 are invisile until you move 4 back to root
Think of it as a feature...


Have fun,
John

Hi John,

thanks for modifications.
I will have a look at it this weekend.

[pcwacht]

OK, seem to have solved the last known bug(feature) moving chapters with subchapters
All seems to be working in good order

Now I really need testers.


Have fun!

Hi John

seems to be an older version because I thought we had some similar errors:

1. frontend-css: wrong class, should be .MLsub2chapt instead of .MLsubchapt2
2. error message at description link: please see:http://www.rvb.bplaced.net/pages/man-test.php

Did you uninstall the old one?
Please make sure of that, there are NO updateroutines etc in place.
If you don't make sure the save_chapter.php and modify_chapter.php are overwritten with the new ones.

The css file, that is correct, didn't adjusted it.
Will do right now

John

[erpe]

Yes I uninstalled the old one.
But I will try once more.

Hi John,

de-installed the module and installed it again.

The same errors again.

[pcwacht]

could you check dates on save_chapter.php and modify_chapter.php?

Am seeing filenames on your site wich shouldn't be there
1.-kapitel.php

It is working here and allso no 1.- before the title.

Just to make sure I added a new zip here
Allso set in info.php version to 2.7.41

John

[erpe]

Ok, I will check the files

The number (1) was added by mysellf.

Deinstalled the old one and installed 2.7.41.
All the same.
Checked the files: 17.11.2008          23:23

Hi John,

I also installed and tested this version right now.
First impression:
deleting page with section now works
the output
<tr>
<td class="MLtitle"></td>
<td class="MLdescription" align="right"></td>
</tr>
is not handy - this should be in rows, eventually in <div> for free-formatting purpose.
there are no numbers in the chapter-list, something wrong with erpes installation

but class MLsub2chapt is not defined in css

But most confusing is: in option the header and footer is now with wysiwyg-editor, but if You use red text for example, in frontend it is ignored.
And if You insert html for font-color - it is ignored too (by FCK I guess)

So for what the FCK in Options?

Chapter - subchapter - subsubchapter withou any problems until now.

I will continue....

Everything works fine so far. 3 Levels is quite enough, I think.
But for the navigation through the chapters I miss something in 3rd level.
On Level 0 You have all chapters listed - great.
On Level 1 You have the MLIndex and MLnext_link_top leads to the first subchapter - great
On Level 2 You have MLprev_link_top leading to chater 1, than MLIndex and MLnext_link_top leads to chapter2 furthe a link list to all available subchapters on bottom of the text - perfect.
But on Level 3 there is no MLnext_link_top - if You have more than 1 subsubchapter, You get the MLprev_link_top leading to the subchapter (but no next chapter) and if You are on the last subsubchapter You only get the MLIndex - Link. Could You add the next-chapter link?

@Erpe, I am truely puzzled why it isn't working at your system

@vyni
Just downed the zip (2.7.41) from my last post, the css MLsub2chapt is in frontend.css

I will have a look at the wysiwyg header / footer
Allso I will a look at templating the layout (still on my list of stuff to do)
And the navigational stuff - will need to dig deep in the view.php since all is hardcoded.

Hi John

I will install this module on another test-server.
Maybe it has to do with the server-configuration?

Hi John

installed again on a fresh wb 2.7 installation (different server), but the same result.
I am a little bit confused for the version 2.7.3 worked on both webspaces.

Hope you can help.

Hi John,
now the bad news.
I was successfull testing on XAMPP - but now on Linux (website) it just display´s the manual-index-page. Any futher link results in a blank white page - no error given, no warning - no content. Sorry.

I found the error:
In the created php is a line like this:

require("../../../../../../../../config.php");

but this must be: require("../../config.php");

but couldn´t You use
require(WB_PATH."/index.php");
?

[aldus]

The problem is that you will have to strip of the "WB_PATH" from the $filename
before calculating the "depth" ...

File "save_chapter.php" - line 180 ff.

Code:

<?php
    // The depth of the page directory in the directory hierarchy
    // '/pages' is at depth 1
    $pages_dir_depth=count(explode('/', str_replace(WB_PATH, "", $filename) ))-3;
?>

Works fine here local ...

Regards
Aldus

[vyni]

The problem isn´t to count or not.

Just same than the index-call - this one is fixed with
line 195 - require(WB_PATH."/index.php");

and for my understanding - config.php AND WB_PATH/index.php are always in the same level.

So why calculate one and fix the other? - This confuses me.
Why not fix both?

regards from Himberg

@Aldus
local on XAMPP I don´t have problems, but in the webspace - there is something else, as descripted.

And YES - Your modification works in the web too.
