Plugins :: Blog :: Folio v.6 -- BUG FIXES!

June 06, 2007

Okay everyone, I've been spending a ton of time getting bug fixes in the folio plug-in implemented.  I'd HIGHLY recommend installing this fix, as it corrects a ton of problems (some minor, some major).

I can never seem to post a good .zip file, so here's a link to the tarball version of it. http://eduspaces.net/garrettn/files/

This version includes many more options for the way the folio interacts with the side menu.  You can use /mod/folio/config.php to have the folio leave the blog / file sidebars alone, and only add its own link.  Other options allow you to add/remove any options on the top or side bar.

As always, please let me know of any problems encountered.

  1. As a following note, and thanks to some helper bug finders, we now have v.61 uploaded.  BE SURE TO UPDATE THE DB SCHEME thru mod/folio/html/setupdb.php

  2. Nathan, thanks for your continued work on this. Version 0.61 has certainly fixed the 'wrong icon' issues and I'm now starting to play with my first Elgg-based Wikis. The Activity module looks invaluable in keeping track of what's going on.

    One minor glitch on our system (running Elgg 0.8 rc 2) is that all the recent activities are displaying with today's date, rather than the one when they occurred. Is this a bug, or have I done something daft?

  3. Geoffrey;

    Could you be more specific?  Do the activities include blog, blog comments, files, pages, and page comments, or just one of the above?

  4. OK Nathan here goes...

    On the 'Your Activity' page, irrespective of the particular People: Display: or Include: settings, the individual activities have today's date e.g. a Flash file published by the administrator has the entry

       File publish: movie.swf

       admin | file | Thu Jun 07

     even though it was uploaded several weeks ago

    I have also noticed a few other minor bugs.

    Only the default user icon is displayed for Files, though the correct icons are displayed for the other activities (Blog Posts, Blog Comments, Wiki Page & Wiki Comments)

    Also the heading at the top (under the banner) of 'Your Activity' begins with a username rather than the firstname lastname convention elswhere in Elgg

    e.g.

      admin :: Activity :: Inbox  

    rather than

      Fred Blogs :: Activity :: Inbox

    and a colon is missing from the heading of 'Your Pages'

      Fred Blogs : Home Page

    rather than 

      Fred Blogs :: Home Page

    Finally, and I appreciate this is also a cosmetic issue, the pages are using the [RSS] icon rather than the 'square orange' feed icon used elswhere in Elgg.

    As noted before, this is on Elgg 0.8 rc 2, with a quite a few other non-standard modules installed.

    Hope this helps

    Geoff

  5. Thanks for the detailed bug report -- I'll start figuring what's going on...

  6. Re: Date -- Fixed.  Though, importing old content into the rss system will have some resulting oddities that can be manually corrected thru the sql db.  Very little content should be affected by this.  

    Re: Icon: Changed to standard rss icon

    Re: admin v. Nathan Garrett names: Fixed.

    Re: : is now :: 

    thanks for the bug reports...
