ConLite

If you update an older 4.8.x to CL 2.0 using a newer MySQL-version, you may encounter problems with automatic disactivation of frontendusers. The reason is the datetime entry of feusers with newer db-clients, that will not correct recognized.
We have to check the whole feature of timemanagement and rebuild it to work with new db-versions.

Add an area to im- and export user and group rights.

The pear xml-parser not working with PHP7.1. Only the first item is parsed correct, second item has wrong content. Switching to PHP5.6 shows correct result.
Check pear-xml for updates. If there no updates, take old pear files and write own parser for PHP7+, mark old pear classes as deprecated and use own class.

If you use the setup type migration differences between real client path and path in db has to be shown and corrected. That behavior is not working. Just try a migration with total different path and you will see bug in text-fields with new path.
Fix that to show correct new path in text field.

Routing of URL using AMR-Plugin not working. See topic in forum.

I’ ve got a feedback from a customer that AMR in 4.8.20 under PHP 5.6 using redirects defined in Backend-Area is not working.

See forum → External Link

This Task collects all task of recoding or fixing behaviours to fit needs for PHP 7 and MySQL 5.7 or MariaDB 10.1

Check whole behaviour. Maybe we need to change protocol for dbfs a little. Take care of backwards compatibility.

We need to remove EditArea from Core. There are no new versions since over 6 years for it.

So the question is, which actual js-based editor we should use. Con 4.9 uses Codemirror. But i think it’ s also a good idea to use Ace.

Maybe we can also enhance editing by giving the user the possibility to choose among different editors an make editable areas switchable between editors.

So please let me know your thoughts about. Maybe this article could help you to find a decision - CodeMirror vs Ace Editor

There are still rules for contenido in this files. Fix it to fit conlite path and folders before release of 2.0.0

Add possibility to use folders in style-areas like templates, css, and javascript

today if you reset alias with amr-function all aliases in db will be resetted. Add selection for client and language.

Calling the info-page by clicking on the button in main menu causes an error entry in logfile.

In the moment classes in pluginfolder have to be loaded using function plugin_include. Add autoload-config to all plugins to autoload classes if plugin is active/installed.

If you still have opened an article (edit, configuration) and your backend session timed out that article is inuse by yourself after relogin.
We have to clear inuse table for user which login and have still inuse entries.

Read first comment!!!

• put container tag without mode param in layout
• make a template using layout
• dont select a module
• make an article using this template
• visit article in frontend and show source

You’ ll find container-tag in source. Fix that behavior to show nothing if container-tag misses needed param.
We may show an info for needed and missing param in backend template view.

We have to check rightsmanagement. For con49 there is a bugreport that as restricted beuser with the right to create/edit beusers you can give yourself more rights and create new user with higher rights than yours.

If this is the same for ConLite we have to change this behaviour to the following

• dont give right to modifiy own rights
• dont give right to create user with more rights

Due to changing the backend foldername the htaccess file of AMR-plugin is out of date. Add new backend folder for conlite and set old path as deprecated.
Add some docs to htaccess and also to AMR-plugins info and htaccess page.
Check all other apperances of contenido path for AMR-plugin.

At the moment no sync of modules is done without any info for user. Add area to show which modules are synced and which one are skipped.
Maybe it’ s a good idea to use ajax to sync modules. Check if easy adding this functionality is given in CL or if we need to recode ajax handling in the future.

For further releases we need the releasetool for easy getting DB-Data. Check, and recode if needed, the existing tool. DB must be cleaned up and ALL needed entries pushed to file system. Try to use generated files with setup.

Got the following error while testing ConLite with PHP 5.6 and MySQL 5.5.5

Change field type to datetime, write api class for db-table and change all calls to use the api class.

We have to write a little Doku for output compression, possible config values and where to set.

Add a language column to user log if more than 1 language is used.

This is an old bug, since 4.6 i think, growing up sequencely while working with categories in a second language. Customer has moved, deleted and add categories in english (1. lang german) and now the old master category is still visible in article-categorie-view with all subcategories but not in categorie area.

So we have to check out which function causes that behaviour. Needed sql-dump for searching is uploaded in dev-file-area, so please only use it for bugtracking and delete it afterwards.

If a be-user login again after timeout or closing browser delete old inuse entries for this user. Otherwise we will get a message for used areas for this user.

Entwicklung eines neuen Sessionmanagements auf Basis der vorhandenen ConLib. Zu beachten ist dabei auch die Verknüpfung anderer Funktionen, so z.B. der InUse-Funktionen.

Das Aufräumen der inUse-Tabellen funktioniert nicht korrekt. Die im Contenidoforum empfohlene Lösung löst zwar das Problem in diesem Fall, ist aber keine Primärlösung. Hier gehört Sessionmanagement etc. überdacht und geäandert.

Some permissions on permission-page have to be checked for naming and logic. Check all permissions for backend and plugins, also do a test for each permission with a restricted user in backend/frontend.

If you copy a modulefolder to a new installed system a initial creation into db is needed. Add a function that reads foldername and create a db-entry. Later we can add also a loop for all folders and/or an overview page which will also show modules in repo.

If you remove CMS_Types from article template the content is still present in DB if not deleted before remove. It would be nice if there is a page where i can see all used and not used content types with their content and with a possibility for removing it from DB.

We have to discuss about a whole side feature, showing all not used content types or a per article feature.

Removal of private/external PHP function or class libraries. CL should provide its own functions and classes, licensed under GPL or LGPL.

If you delete a folder using ftp it isn’t deleted in db. For files u have to call the folder in filemanager, but if u also delete the folder that cannot work.
We have to check if we can enhance the checks in filemanager to check for missing folders.

Also we have to remember that for the new version of filemanager.

If, in a module, you connect to an external database, all modules after that one in the template won’t work.
The configuration for those following modules says “-unnamed module-”.
If you close the connection to the external database in the module, the following modules work as they should.

If you have the module with the external database connection more than once in the template, directly following eachother, then each second one won’t connect to that database even if you use different variables for the connection, but only in the backend (configuration).
In the frontend everything works as it should even with the same variable for the external database connection, but only while closing the connection in the module (every instance).

Question/Problem:
Why does ConLite try to get the module information over the last opened database connection instead of using it’s own connection $db?

Attached is a module for showing a Modified Shopsoftware article in ConLite for testing.

Löscht man eine Datei in der Dateiverwaltung, wird in der Messagebox nur folgendes angeziegt: “Dateien löschen Sind Sie sich sicher, dass Sie die gewählten Dateien wirklich lö”, obwohl im Quelltext der Rest des Satzes auch noch steht.

Verbesserungsvorschlag: Hat man eine wirkich lange Liste an Dateien, scrollt runter und markiert alle und klickt dann auf löschen passiert auf den ersten Blick nichts, da die MessageBox nur “oben” angezeigt wird. Man muss also nach oben scrollen und bestätigen. Vielelicht kann man hier mit einer Art Anker zur MessageBox springen.

Due to the changes in class genericdb some of the API-classes no longer update fields modified or author. Also some create-methods do not fill fields for create date and author.
Check all cApi-classes for right behaviour and add to create- and store-method of this classes if missing.
Add method if needed and also write a short dev-info.

Zumindest tritt dieses Problem auf, wenn Backend auf Subdomain ist.

Seit Contenido 4.8.18 werden auch transparente PNG unterstützt. Das wäre eine sinvolle Erweiterung.

Die Vorschaubilder (die erscheinen wenn man auf die Minivorschau mit der Maus fährt) in der Dateiverwaltung werden beschnitten (links/oben fehlt) und gestaucht (4:3).

This handling is inconsistent. We have some entries within id < 10000 and some are outside. I’m just writing a release tool and i can’t handle that in the moment. SO we need to discuss if we exclude all plugin entries in db from id range under 10000. Maybe it’s a good idea to install buildin plugins with the new plugininstaller during setup.

We need to recode all used modules in democlient to use buildin amr-plugin and create correct url. Also check behaviour if amr is configured to generate url in modules and/or plugins

If AMR is configured to prevent duplicated content, url percent is set to 100% and redirect to errorpage is choosen, old url calls to front_content.php will not work any more.

I tried to fix that with info from con-forum http://forum.contenido.org/viewtopic.php?p=155402#p155402 but that still let the possibility of duplicated content. We need to find a better solution.

If you use a htaccess to redirect your host like

#www Rewrite
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.domain\.de
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.domain.de/$1 [L,R=301]

and you have entries in config.php without subdomain www, you can’t login in backend. The reason is that login post is redirected.

Maybe we shall throw a little info-message for that. So if somebody tries to login with different host to config-entry and gets a login-error, error-message schould also give a hint. We can also add an entry to errorlog.

If you switch second language offline it is still reachable via frontend. Maybe it’s better to redirect to default language if another language is offline.

For now the table mod_history is leaved as is and not migrated to filesystem. Add a step to setup where this is done and unused db-table is removed after successfull migration.

This task has two parts:
- Add link to onlina article: see http://forum.contenido.org/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=31922 - Configurable mailer: see http://forum.contenido.org/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=31584

Add a plugin or better a chain in backend filemanager. Configuration has to be done with client-settings.

If entries where made in con_meta_tag also entries with empty value are written.
Rewrite db-handling with metatags so no empty values are written to db

Please add all done classes in list Check all db-table related classes and move or create if not exists as cApi-class using genericdb. Also port to PHP5 if needed. Move all new classes to a new cApi-folder in class-folder. Merge classes if possible.

List of classes to check:

• class.activeusers.php
• class.client.php
• contenido/class.client.php

...to be continued

List of already done classes (add classname when ready):

One should be able to move files in the file manager.
Needed functionality for this:
- move the file in the file system
- correct the path in the database table con_upl
Articles using the file through modules aren’t infected, because they only save the id of the entry in con_upl.
Only articles using the file inside the TinyMCE editor will have a problem.
For this case, we should consider correcting those paths too, or showing a warning message on trying to move the file.

1)
I quite often use my netbook to update my webcontent. One category contains more than 70 articles and the next is always a copy of the last one which will be altered. So I have to select page 4 first, which is not a problem. But humans are normally lazy - so am I - and I always have to scroll to the bottom to see the page-selector. So it would be great to have that selector not only below, but also above the article-listing. Like it is in filemanagement.

2)
At the moment you can sort the articles of a category by using the dropdown above the listing. It would be nice if you could do that by clicking on the columns header.

If you first install the sample client and tidy it up for making up your own website, you first delete all articles and then the not further used categories. So I first throwed out all articles in (sub)categories of the tree “hauptnavigation”. Then I went on deleting those (sub)categories. After that, only “Hauptnavigation” was left and I decided to remove the assigned template and rename it to “Startseite”. After saving, there appeared this errormessage:

Fatal error: Call to a member function get() on a non-object in /var/www/web244/html/2/contenido/plugins/mod_rewrite/includes/functions.mod_rewrite.php on line 130

If you have a categorie filled with many articles - e.g. for a newslist - and you want to delete several articles, you have to do that one by one. It would be quite useful, if there’d be the possibility to select those articles via checkboxes - like it is in filemanagement - and, after confirmation of course ;O) - delete them at one step.

I often use the same entries for client settings. It would be helpful if often used ones could be added via click. Examples:
tinymce|forced_root_block|
articles|show-new-window-checkbox|true
...

The behaviour if a login error occurs or if the return-param is set should be reconsidered. For example if you use the login_error_page client-setting there is no information after redirect where we come from, so how can we check for wrong login or redirections? Also i miss a custom login form or a solution for multiple loginform usage within the same client.

Some people told me that it will be a good idea if there is a possibilty to use a deeplink in backend. Due to the nested frameset there was no easy way to do. Contenido itself uses a javascript construct to change multiple frames in BE.

So we will try to enhance the lower mainframeset with it’s 4 frames to only one, using div-areas instead of the frames. This has to be done in a parallel way to existing backend so we can change it area by area.

More planing for this new feature has to be done for further versions.

I will add a new Stats Plugin which will use the new statistic class from semmelstatzR for wordpress as base class. Also a Chain is integrated for getting and reading the agent and user data’s

For some versions back, the category list is not updated when e.g. changing the status of the start article into “non start article” - icon in the category tree should change to red. Same thing when you delete all articles in a branch - no changes left.
Correct behaviour is shown in the file system - as soon as the last file is taken out of a branch/folder, it changes to red and you can delete it.

The helper documents in ‘docs’ are almost outdated or no longer relevant.
Maybe it’s a better idea to remove it and/or put it in a seperate download for docu-files. Also we may think about a better online-docu (wiki or faq)

Redesign of Democlient using HTML5 and CSS3. All parts have to be valide (validator.w3.org).

We

• need an easy, timeless design
• wanna show usage of all CMS-Typs
• show in action and give a little documentation of all used modules
• use jQuery for javascript parts
• use a framework as startpoint

Adding a Modulrepo part to BE. There are different startpoints to do that, so we have to discuss how we wanna do it. We may use just local repos or we can use one central repo.

So if you have any ideas around adding a modul repo, please add them as comment.

Remove PEAR library after building needed classes in the Core (was: Update PEAR files and remove all Con-related code if possible).

cHTML have to be restructured to meet OOP in PHP 5.3 and above using E_STRICT error mode.
Also some work todo with infile docu. Maybe it’s a good idea to update PEAR also.

Add/enhance missing infile docu always if your working with or at core files.

All plugins and their files have to be moved to pluginfolder and subfolders so we may install them within the new pluginmanager.

Add a pluginmanager and some kind of xml-configuration for plugins.
Start with a folder based version, no zip-file manager like Contenido expected to do.
