WebsiteBaker 2.8.4 on the horizon

[daydreamer]

Will all existing modules be supported with WB 2.8.4

[i2Paq]

Yep, that one they just changed, without any notice, and then it stopped working.

the Form module works without Problems - if you have any Problems - just start a new Topic?

This has been already done, read for yourself.

http://www.websitebaker.org/forum/index.php/topic,23820.0.html

And No, it is not working in (a clean install) 2.8.4!

I've had to hire someone to get another module installed to get my sites working again.

if this issue in 1.8.4 is still there then it is a useless release.

here's the faulty query

Code Select Expand

Exception: "You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '[SEARCH_STRING]': query(); in/framework/WbDatabase.php
1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '[SEARCH_STRING]':

concerning settings/save.php

Code Select Expand

just after :
$allow_empty_values = array(
    'website_header',

added
    'website_description',
    'website_keywords',

just tried 2.8.3 and upgraded to 2.8.3/4 (1927)
upgrade run fine
but when i save in settings i get
Exception: "Error in SQL-Statement" >> Exception detected in: [/framework/WbDatabase.php]
while in advanced settings mode i have no error

An exception only tells you where the error was detected, but not where the error occurs.
You use an 2.8.4 upgraded from 2.8.3..  so insert the following line into your config.php

Code Select Expand

<?php

define('DEBUG', true);  // << insert new

require_once(WB_PATH.'/framework/initialize.php');


As result you will get much more detailed error messages.
And you can see where the error really occurs. Especially the invalid SQL-Statement which we need to locate the Bug.

when i add keywords in settings they are saved, if i try to remove all keyword or just type a space they are not removed. description / heder / footer are saved fine and also saved when empty

loved the image settings in page

will try to remove all wb and make a clean install with 2.8.3/4 to see if still same problems

Any news on a rough release date yet, getting excited now!

[tobyw7]

Good to hear! I will be doing some testing next week

I think i2Paq is pointing to the "From adress" which isn't sended, though it was in previous versions.

Like discussed here: http://www.websitebaker.org/forum/index.php/topic,23820.0.html

@i2Paq i think you can better use MPForm (better options).

[i2Paq]

I hope that the Contact Page is working again, if not: why bother.

Which Contact Page do you mean? The form module?

Looks very promising. Think I will make a start on a responsive admin template.

[cwsoft]

Also not official but so what
https://github.com/cwsoft/WebsiteBaker/archive/2.8.x.zip

[easyuser]

Yes.
If you want to test it - have a look at http://project.websitebaker2.org/projects/wb28x/repository and download the SVN or download the current Rev. 1927 from SVN (a bit a "2.8.4 Beta" - but not offical) from  http://dl.easebox.org/wb_283_rev1927.zip . Of course just for testing, not for live environments - and let us know your thoughts and perhaps discovered bugs.

[N1kko]

So should be soon then 

[easyuser]

There is no release date for WB 2.8.4, but we hope to see it in Summer 2013.

[N1kko]

Yeah WB is not dead...  Thanks for the news!!

Very good news, would be great to see more modules too.

Great news, how far away is 2.8.4 from release?

Dear WebsiteBaker Community!

As you surely have noticed, since the release of Website Baker 2.8.3 our teams are working at full stretch on the version 2.8.4. To get an idea what we're worked on, I list several changes and new features.

Please note that I cannot list each of the approx. 300 changes here.

Maintenance Mode
WebsiteBaker now offers the possibility to put the website into a maintenance mode. Once it is running, it is only possible to see the website and log in to the administration area for the system administrator.

Upgrade script
The upgrade script was largely revised and now provides an upgrade from version 2.7 to the latest 2.8.4 in one pass.

Registration
You can now customize whether new users get an activation mail and will have to confirm it.

Pages Administration
In the pages administration has changed a lot. Here are just some of the new features:

• The file name is no longer dependent  on the menu item and can be defined separately
• Assignment of menu icons
• The page tree is now much quicker for bigger sites

Class "Translate"
For developers a new class "Translate" is available. A detailed description can be found here

Class "Password"
For passwords the MD5 encryption was replaced with SHA-512. Developers can now use the function "Password:createnew ()" to generate a secure random password.

Much more changes:

• Refactoring of the installer
• Optical refactoring of the backend themes
• Backend themes can now easily being copied and just the parts that differ from the default template being adjusted
• Refactoring of user- and group administration

A detailed description of the changes you will see in the news about the release of version 2.8.4.

Thanks to the community and to all tester for many constructive discussions.

The stages of development you can track as before under http://project.websitebaker2.org/projects/wb28x/repository .
ATTENTION: This is a development version - it can still contain errors. It is strongly recommended to use this version NOT in a live environment.
