Works fine for me, got rid of the previous errors I logged at http://get-simple.info/forum/post/22493/#p22493

Now have two errors in this version:

1. Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in /admin/plugins.php on line 53 when viewing the plugins page

2. /data/other/basic_contact_form_settings.xml XML Invalid - Error! in website health check

Other than above good work all round.

***ccagle8*** · 2012-02-15 11:14:58 4

Thanks pete. I fixed #1 in the SVN and #2 seems to be a plugin xml file that probably doesn't pertain to this release...

chefbyte · 2012-02-16 03:52:55 5

Chris, you was right about the invalid xml error, there was no text in the file. copied another across from another site and all is well now Smile

i have tryed to instal I18Ngallery plugin on rc4 and when I add "enable sitewide cookies" in config, I get http error 500 or page not fou found errors. I havennoticed that gs 3.1 config file does not have sitewide cookies option in gsconfig animore.

Sorry if this has been brought up before. I conducted a quick search, but didn't find anything directly related:

Quote:Send Anonymous Data GetSimple needs your anonymous data so we can understand our users better. It's completely voluntary and will help us improve our product.

If a plugin is activated by default (as it is here on latest 3.1), it's in no way voluntary. I suggest it being deactivated out-of-the-box.

***n00dles101*** · 2012-02-16 21:13:18 8

Hi Thorsten,

No data is actually sent until you voluntarily click the preview and then send data button.

When you chmod/chown folders properly, but you don't chmod the main directory the errors appear like this:

[Image: getsimple_%C2%BB_installation_2012-02-16...95498.jpeg]

Not a major bug thought.

1)
related to share.php:

the strings which are presented in the popup are not translatable:

"Share GetSimple" + "Find us on Facebook" + "Follow us on Twitter"

and I do not see GooglePlus (I am logged in GooglePlus)

2)
I still insist that the "Send Anonym Data" - Text should be translatable

Quote:"Send Anonymous Website Data

GetSimple needs to find out what type of people and businesses are using our product. This form allows you to voluntarily send us completely anonymous data about your website. This data includes things like the type of server you're on, your PHP version and how many pages and files you currently have. We would be very grateful if you could take a few minutes to submit this data to us as it is essential for the continued growth of our CMS product.

Complete the optional fields below, then click the 'Preview Data Submission' button to preview your data before it's sent to our servers.

This english text in an installation with another language is not ok ;=(
why not?

Yeah, maybe one additional sentence would make that clearer to users: 'There is no automatic upload' or similar.

I actually hadn't noticed the button in the sidebar at first which made me think the plugin is already doing its thing. Which appeared to me as being "involuntary".

Anyway, I can live with that.

Carlos · 2012-02-17 00:08:35 12

Anyway you can just delete the plugin once (or before) you install GS.

(Edit: @Connie, this way you also remove the need for translating it ;-))

Carlos · 2012-02-17 00:44:03 13

I suggest you make very clear in the upgrade to 3.1 instructions that if you don't want to automatically ping search engines, you have to uncomment (or add) the GSDONOTPING line.

Also maybe some comment about the new GSNOCDN setting.

(Ideally the upgrade script could tell the webmaster about those, but if not, at least we need it the upgrade how-to)

I'm referring to the text which is not clear in my opinion. I'm not debating to deinstall the plugin.

***ccagle8*** · 2012-02-17 01:41:40 15

@polyfragmented - I added that text
@connie - I finally caved and and made "anonymous data" translatable...
@connie - google plus is in there, not sure why youre not seeing it. As for making it translatable... im not worried about it at this point... i think it's fine as is.
@joeydown - i fixed those error message problems... thanks for bringing it up

Carlos · 2012-02-17 01:47:13 16

@polyfragmented
What I mean is that if you install GS for a friend/business/etc you can delete it so that they're not annoyed/surprised/... by that.

Anyway I agree it should be clear. At least both in the installation and upgrading instructions it might be stated that this plugin is included, and what it's for.

EDIT: Oops, I finished typing this post before reading Chris' one... :-)

great, I will deliver a german language file for that asap ... is there a new SVN out with that feature?

mvlcek · 2012-02-17 05:53:17 19

Finally testing my plugins with 3.1 - so far only cosmetic problems...

But I've got two questions:
[list=*]
[*]What's the Debug Console (if GSDEBUG set to true) supposed to do?[/*]
[*]What's the Menu Manager supposed to do - it shows a random (pages from different levels) collection of 15 pages out of my 83 pages? I even removed I18N - no change.[/*]
[/list]

***n00dles101*** · 2012-02-17 06:06:47 20

@mclvek, used for debugging plugins.. use debugLog($txt) in your plugins to output debug information, its only shown when debugging is turned on.

What IS the menu manager supposed to do?

And regarding plugins:
[list=*]
[*]Are deactivated plugins still loaded/executed?[/*]
[*]Physically removing a plugin (with DEBUG enabled) will show warnings and error messages on all admin pages until you call the plugins page. This should be corrected.[/*]
[/list]

***n00dles101*** · 2012-02-17 20:39:10 23

@mvlcek,

o - No, Deactivated plugins are not loaded/executed if they are disabled.
o - I can't replicate this ? The plugins.xml is recreated each page refresh and should cater for the forced removal of plugins.

I get this too, and I installed GS3.1 in root directory, in public_http , I am not sure it is ok to set public_http to 777 ...

And I noone commented about earlier post: http://get-simple.info/forum/post/23071/#p23071

I havennoticed that gs 3.1 config file does not have sitewide cookies option in gsconfig anymore.

# Make login cookie available sitewide.
define('GSCOOKIEISSITEWIDE', TRUE);

is this still available in GS3.1 ?
