Added capability to edit "keywords" and "robots" metatags. + "Automatically Generate Metatags" must be checked in the configuration menu for this to work. "robots" metatags can only be edited by admins that have "Edit Search Engine Instructions" checked in the "Edit User" page. + NOTE: For this feature to work, the latest CVS copy of mod/layout/class/Layout.php must be installed. You can rsync it or download it using this link: + + http://res1.stddev.appstate.edu/horde/chora/co.php/layout/class/Layout.php?login=2&r=1.59&p=1&Horde=3430edc1fe94de721ac3c0f4c838a799&Horde=3430edc1fe94de721ac3c0f4c838a799 + + Other Changes: + -Article Manager uses the moduleLink method more extensively now to take advantage of the "mod-rewrite" hack (in production test on www.vibride.com). + -Fixed problem with "printable version" links. + -Fixed problem with using apostrophies in "Image Caption" text. + -Fixed import scripts to handle parsed data. + -Fixed bug where the category view was showing up in the wrong order. + -Fixed Import Script bug where no sections were being saved. + -Installation Instructions: Stressed again the need to back up your data. + -Installation Instructions: Added a section on what do to if an import fails. + + + ======================== Changes in version 1.5.2 ======================== Index: INSTALL.txt =================================================================== RCS file: /cvsroot/phpwebsite-comm/modules/article/docs/INSTALL.txt,v retrieving revision 1.1 retrieving revision 1.2 diff -C2 -d -r1.1 -r1.2 *** INSTALL.txt 9 Jul 2003 20:24:25 -0000 1.1 --- INSTALL.txt 21 Oct 2003 21:14:27 -0000 1.2 *************** *** 28,40 **** The import script changes data for the menus, categories, approval and comments modules so that they'll automatically point to the new pages. There is no export script because the best way of reverting data is to restore the entire database from a recent backup. SUGGESTION: ! As with all data conversions, sometimes bad data can screw up the process. I've tried to account for all potential problems, but to be sure that everything is converted properly I suggest that you make a small change to your /core/Database.php file. Change line #461 from this: if($this->query($sql, FALSE, TRUE)){ to this: if($this->query($sql, FALSE, FALSE)){ ! So you can see any error messages that the database creates. If you want to keep track of when phpWS screws up, don't change it back. 1. Make the convert/reroute/ directory writable (apache.apache, nobody.nobody, 777). 2. Make sure the images/articlemanager/PM & images/articlemanager/ANN directories are writable (apache.apache, nobody.nobody, 777). --- 28,42 ---- The import script changes data for the menus, categories, approval and comments modules so that they'll automatically point to the new pages. There is no export script because the best way of reverting data is to restore the entire database from a recent backup. + Also, if you had any <img>,<form>,<input> or <font> tags in your userpages, don't forget to add those tags to $allowed_tags in your /conf/textsettings.php file before you run the import! phpWS strips out any unallowed tags from the data as it finds them.

If you want to keep track of when phpWS messes up stuff, don't change it back. + 0. Back up your entire database. 1. Make the convert/reroute/ directory writable (apache.apache, nobody.nobody, 777). 2. Make sure the images/articlemanager/PM & images/articlemanager/ANN directories are writable (apache.apache, nobody.nobody, 777). *************** *** 45,48 **** --- 47,58 ---- 7. Change the write permissions on the convert/reroute directory to not writable. 8. Back up the files in the convert/reroute directory. They won't ever change again. + + + ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- + WHAT TO DO IF THE IMPORT FAILS + ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- + Announcements and Pages are imported, the script also converts the comment, menu, and fatcat data to point at the new articles. It also creates URL rerouting files named announce.AM and pagemaster.AM in the convert/reroute directory so that once you uninstall Announcements and/or PageMaster, any requests for a specific announcement/page will cause the display of it's equivalent article. + + The problem with this is that since you had a failed import, you have to roll back the clock before you do it again because the menu, fatcat, and comment links are pointing at the first set of articles that were created. Restore the entire site database from the backup you created in step 1 of the installation instructions and delete the files "/convert/reroute/announce.AM" and "/convert/reroute/pagemaster.AM". Then run the import script again.
