Hello,
I've been testing this plugin and I love it, especially for how easy it is for the end user. I was decided to use it in my next project, but I have a problem with it in Xampp and a couple on my server.
On the server, I can create categories, add custom fields, I can create items... but when I create an item (myitem, for example), the information in the custom fields is not saved, despite a message saying "The myitem.xml has been succesfully saved". In the "myitem.xml" file I see that the XML does not have tags for the custom fields.
Apart from that, the image uploader window has a wrong URL (I see there the "page not found" page). When I click the "Select file" button next to the image field, it opens a new window with a URL like this:
http://mywebsite.com//usrplugins/imanager/uploadscript...
I guess the right URL should be http://mywebsite.com/plugins/imanager/uploadscript... I don't know where that "usr" comes from.
In Xampp, I have none of the above problems, but after selecting an image in the popup window, I get the message "Cannot move file".
On the server, the Items Manager plugin by PyC gives the same problem with the custom fields, but it allows me to upload images.
I must say that before installing GetSimple on my server I got this error message (here is that "usr" again, maybe it has something to do with the server...):
Warning: ini_set() [function.ini-set]: Unable to access /usr/home/mywebsite.com/web/data/other/logs/errorlog.txt in /usr/home/mywebsite.com/web/admin/inc/common.php on line 128
After all, I don't know if the problem is on my server, in GetSimple or in Item Manager... Despite the error message "Warning: ini_set () [function.ini-set]" GetSimple works perfectly and also work well Special Pages and Custom Fields plugins, so I thought I should start asking here.
I make websites occasionally for small business; it's not my main occupation. Most of my clients are very slow when it comes to computers, and they usually need very simple websites (2 or 3 pages). For many of them it would be "very difficult" to add HTML tags and CSS classes correctly with the editor... That's why I had thought to create those two or three pages myself, and allow end users to change some contents through Item Manager. There could be a category "Home" with a single item with custom text fields like "big text above", "smaller text with a blue background", "presentation title", "presentation".... One category with one item for each page. That can be done with Special Pages plugin, but Item Manager would also allow galleries or lists of items easily: One category with multiple items. Moreover, as Item Manager handles file uploading and deleting, I could hide all GetSimple tabs except Item Manager, to ensure that end users don't touch what they should not...
That's all... I hope there is a solution.
Thanks in advance!
P.S.
My suggestions for version 2.0: drag and drop sorting for items in back-end (reflected in front-end) and the possibility to combine items with different configurations in one category. For example, in a "gallery" category could be combined items like "title", "introductory text", "picture", "picture", "picture", "picture", "picture", "picture", "picture" "introductory text", "picture", "picture", "picture", "picture"... I think this would make this plugin a kind of mini-super-simple CMS inside GetSimple, that would work by combining predesigned HTML fragments (templates) that could be filled with contents by the end user.
