Dutch translation

I created an Dutch translation for Frog. You should be able to find it at the location below once Philippe uploads it to SVN.

Admin screen option for update check?

I noticed that Frog tries to check for updates... today, the Frog CMS website was down for a time. This caused a very nasty message in my admin section. Since I'm using / going to use Frog for customers, that's not acceptable. Also, the troubles apparently caused a slower authentication while trying to login.

My feature request(s):

1) Make an admin screen option to be able to turn on/off the update check 2) Create an admin screen option to manually check for updates 3) Create an admin screen option to manually check for plugin updates.

Thanks!

Finished a TinyMCE plugin

Maybe Philippe could help out by telling me:

  • how can I tell my javascript to detect an onchange event in the filter dropdown box?
  • how can I use that onchange event to execute a single line of javascript code based on the new value of the filter dropdown box?

If those two questions are answered, I can make a proper "filter" of the tinymce plugin. Problem is, I'm very bad with Javascript so I can't answer those two questions. (yet..?)

@David Good luck. I also like the WYMeditor but I think it will probably be a little more difficult to do. Maybe not.. :-) I'll be interested to hear your results.

Finished a TinyMCE plugin

In my quest for a good wysiwyg plugin, I tried first to create a Widg plugin, but that didn't appear to work very wel... I therefore created a very simple TinyMCE plugin. Currently it just replaces all the textareas, but at least you can turn it on or off through the admin section of Frog.

If you're interested, get it at http://www.vanderkleijn.net/frog-cms-plugins.html

It already includes tinymce, so just unzip it in your plugins directory and read the readme.txt file.

 

Do you all used rewrite mod with Frog ?

I'm using mod_rewrite to great effect.

However, the following would best be removed. It is a potential security issue and most decent hosting providers would probably not even allow it. Mine doesn't at any rate and since Frog doesn't need it...

Options +FollowSymLinks

 

User Registration for Restricted area

Any news on this? When might we expect to see the port finished? I could really use this right about now... ;)

Anyway, great stuff this Frog thingie.. love it to bits. I'm slowly converting multiple sites to Frog.

Allow extension to be defined per Layout

DOH! smacks hand to forehead

That actually works... didn't think to try that. Great!

 

Allow extension to be defined per Layout

Currently, we can use/define a specific content-type for a layout.

Would it be terribly difficult to also allow us to set a specific file extension to use? This would allow me to create an RSS layout with an application/xml content-type AND a .xml extension.

 

No plugins visible in Administration screen

Ha! Got it... turning on the display_error worked. I'm not using PDO because my host doesn't support it.. Turns out that the sqlite3 plugin was somehow trying to do something with PDO... I removed the sqlite3 plugin directory from the system and now the entire admin section work!

Thanks! :-)

 

No plugins visible in Administration screen

Unfortunately... these settings are present... I've made a screenshot available at <http://www.vanderkleijn.net/public/images/frog_admin_problem.png>

I've got the following tables:

  • frog_comment
  • frog_layout
  • frog_page
  • frog_page_part
  • frog_page_tag
  • frog_permission
  • frog_setting
  • frog_snippet
  • frog_tag
  • frog_user
  • frog_user_permission

frog_setting contains the following entries - admin_title Administration area - language en - theme default - enable_comment 1 - auto_approve_comment 1 - default_status_id 1 - default_filter_id 1 - plugins a:5:{s:7:"textile";i:1;s:8:"markdown";i:1;s:7:"archive";i:1;s:14:"page_not_found";i:1;s:12:"file_manager";i:1;}

 

Widg plugin

I'd like to build a widg plugin. It's a very simple thing and adds a toolbar to textarea's. What would be the best way to go about this? As far as I can tell right now, I would need to:

  • build a widg plugin
  • allow the plugin to write this string into the page: <script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/widgEditor.js"></script>
  • allow the plugin to disable every filter except the <none> filter
  • include some custom CSS code for the widg toolbar

And then it would work...

 

No plugins visible in Administration screen

Hmmm... damn... I just noticed... I'm also not seeing the Plugins and Settings tabs on the Administration screen. :-(

 

No plugins visible in Administration screen

My Frog is running on:

  • Linux Fedora
  • PHP 5.0.4
  • MySQL 4.1.20

The plugins are right where they should be and everthing seems to be working without any problem... EXCEPT for the Administration page. Truly strang... it seems to get cut off just before it starts to list the actual plugins.

 

[Sticky] Live sites running Frog CMS

Do you know of live sites running Frog CMS? Maybe it would be nice to list them here and see what's possible with Frog.

My own site: http://www.vanderkleijn.net/

 

No plugins visible in Administration screen

Damn... forgot to mention I'm using the latest Subversion version of Frog.

 

No plugins visible in Administration screen

Hi.. I'm loving Frog so far... one problem though: none of the plugins are listed in the Administration section of Frog.

I'd like to be able to turn on/off certain plugins. Any idea what is going on? There are no errors in my logfile. Everything seems to be working without any problems, it is just the plugins that won't show in the Administration section.

 

Paging in the admin?

Wouldn't an option be to "mark" a page somehow by assiging a category/tag/type to it and then filter by category/tag/type?

That would be the most simple and elegant solution to reduce the number of pages... also, a way to filter by title would be handy.

BTW: I'm new here... just discovered Frog and LOVE its simplicity! Whatever you do, always keep it simple by default please! :-)
