Hey All,

We have a first beta of CMS Builder v2.09, beta list members will get a download link shortly.

Here is the changelog:

NEW FEATURES
- Uploads: Upload paths are now stored as relative to make server moves easier
- Uploads: Existing uploads path will automatically be made relative where possible.
- Section Editor: The "Add New Editor..." button now lets you copy an existing section (without the data)

MINOR CHANGES
- Code Changes: Removed unused function from /lib/common.php - array_change_value_case()
- Plugin Developers: All plugin hooks can now be listed with "show plugin hooks" link on plugins page
- Programmers: Added plugin hooks for: ui_header, ui_footer, list_orderBy
- Programmers: Added custom functions: isAbsoluteUrl, realUrl, array_value, array_where, dieWith404
- Developers: Added help file on setting up development settings files: /data/how_to_use_settings_files.txt
- WYSIWYG: Added support for /lib/wysiwyg_custom.css file that won't get overwritten during upgrades
- WYSIWYG: Once clicked, "Paste as Text" now stays active until clicked again (instead of deselecting after paste)

BUG FIXES
- Fixed bug from 2.07 where renaming a section displayed an error.
- Fixed demo mode bug where demo couldn't be created if tablenames exceeded 64 characters
- whereRecordNumberInUrl() and getLastNumberInUrl() now ignore page numbers such as viewer.php?title-123&page=2
- Admin Option "Store encrypted passwords in database (can not be disabled)" can no longer be disabled.
- Misc Code and other minor improvements

Hi Robin,

I think that we can modify the folders in the database.
But, if we make another update, will the columns be again modified?

folder/folder/image.jpg

...modified towards :

image.jpg ?

Thanks for your answer ! :)

Hi Djulia,

The function that modifies the upload paths is named makeAllUploadRecordsRelative() and it's called on upgrade to 2.09 (only once) and when you restore a backup under Admin > General.

Can you give me some information about how and why you have your upload paths setup that way?

You can also set custom upload paths in the field editor on a "per field" basis. These upload paths can be relative to the main upload path.

We made this change to make it easier to move servers so the urls and paths we're recorded as for the current server only.

If all you need is the upload filepath another method is just to store that in a text field.

Let me know what your needs are and I'll see what I can think of.

Thanks!

Thanks, All -

There are some much needed improvements here.

The one thing that sticks out (as a potential issue), however, is the custom.css file location.

I can't help feeling I want to locate this file outside the lib directory.

Couldn't we just specify a location of our choice on the CMSB settings page?

That way we could link to a style sheet used on the main site - as opposed to one set-up purely for the WYSIWYG editor.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for your feedback! :)

1) Finally, we preferred to use the Uploads folder to ensure compatibility with the next versions.

2) But, we have another problem.

This version gives times of loading of page lists more important!

With the version 2.07 the average time 0.25 seconds
With the version 2.09, the average in time 1.50 seconds

We alternated the versions several times and we always have the same result.


Do You have an idea?

Thanks ! :)

@Perch: You should be able to use the CSS @import rule to include your external style sheet from custom.css. I'll add your idea of being able to specify a location to our feature request list. Thanks! :)
All the best,
Chris
