1.5beta 1 - Admin issues

[Spudooli]

Hi team.

A couple (actually 4) of issues in beta 1.

Cannot copy and paste in the admin
On no pages in the admin can I highlight text so that I can copy it. This goes for plain text on the page and even within textarea boxes.

Javascript error in IE
I've still got that javascript error throughout the admin

Line 199
Char 3
this evnt is null or not an object

I have to login every time.
I have to login everytime to the admin now. It's like the cookie isn't being saved or read. I used to love the fact once I was logged in, I stayed logged across multiple sessions. Any chance we can have that back?

And finally, Forbidden Errors
If I click around in the admin, I can get to most pages. and then for no apparent reason I start to get the following error message on some admin pages, particularly the addons page

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /admin/index.php on this server.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Apache/2.0.48 (Unix) PHP/4.3.6 Server at www.spudooli.com Port 80

Then if I hit back and click on any of the pages in the admin that I was just in, they also get the same error message. Then for no apparent reason, I can get to all the pages again just fine, including the addons page. I've checked permissions on the files and directories and everything seems fine. I can't figure this out. If you want to see I can PM you my login and password to the admin. Just PM me!

IE6 XP SP2

i noticed that too. i didn't mind it so much until i installed the fast edit addon... now it would be good to stay logged in :]

Do these errors appear only in IE or in all browsers? I never had these problems, using Opera and Firefox

it seems to me that Internet Explorer has problems with sessions... unfortunately ;=(

the copy and paste problem is well known, it is a problem of Internet Explorer with the Javascript Code from 12CropImage unfortunately

Connie & the rest of you: Today I will try to reimplement autologin function.

After some problems with cookies support in previous PP versions we decided to use sessions instead of cookies. Thats why this function in beta is disable. Ill try to write it before release of final version.

Public CVS is only via Web and with some delay.

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/pixelpost/pixelpost_dev/admin/

PS From half an hour (dev team access) on CVS is "bugfix" with autologin future back :)

Anyone can do an anonymous checkout of anything in Sourceforge CVS - just that there is the above mentioned delay in syncing which the latest commits which can be as much as a day....

Our admins on SF project site should think about "night builds" of PP.

I absolutely agree with you!
I like nightly builds!

[blinking8s]

well, you are welcome to release nightly builds over at SF, this is not my area, but pixelpost.org cannot endorse it...as a whole, we collectively dont have the staff or time to do so, our version markup isnt even stable and clear, we had to reupload 1.4.3 three different times to get the files right because things were left out through CVS and in packaging. then when its time for a bigfix i get asked 3-4 times why it would be a version1.4.4 that is released...

our system was once efficient and has become somewhat of a mess in recent times, we publish the beta to the forum and users downloaded it know this. Once the current bugs are fixed, 1.5beta2 will be published. Our operation is not capably of what you are talking about. Things always sound simple, but the amount of time I spending keeping traffic, demo spam, and users in-line consumes almost all of my free time. Babysitting anightly build package and answering even more support questions is more work than any of us can handle at this moment.

[raminia]

nightly builds are for sf.net. sf has many tools for that.

edit:
Will, this is the public forum not the dev forum.

[tinyblob]

i dont think will feels the need to hide this kind of thing from our users..

[se.nsuo.us]

The javascript error is because 12cropimage.js is included irrespective of the fact that an image is being edited or not....

[GeoS]

I had to add small patch to your patch se.nsuo.us with this require. Now all works fine :)
Im closing this topic because it is solved on CVS and would be a part of next release of Pixelpost.
