bludit's Issues

Issue with latest version an theme

The Method: Post::authorFirstName does not seem to work anymore. Most of the themes are broken now :(.

Date of pages: only year saved

In /content/databases/pages.php only the year is saved instead of the whole date.

Installation Error

I get this error whilst performing a fresh install. Any Ideas?

Notice: date_default_timezone_set() [function.date-default-timezone-set]: Timezone ID '' is invalid in /home/meganlou/public_html/blog/kernel/dbsite.class.php on line 252

Error after updating from v0.6.2 to v0.7 beta 1

Copied the content dir as usual from the older release to the newer release and set the right permissions.
Error on all pages.

Fatal error: Call to a member function format() on a non-object in /var/www/html/blog/kernel/helpers/date.class.php on line 30

Admin CP page is 404'd

Upon installation we are pointed to /admin which seems to be missing or fails to rewrite its path.
If any changes are to be made the user has to access /admin/dashboard.

Language is saved but don't regon

The language is saved, but not loaded.

admin not accessible on nginx

Bludit v0.2
Stable version.
Release date: 2015-09-21

rewrite rule not working

charset utf-8;
location ~ ^/content/(.).(txt)$ {
}
location / {
if (!-e $request_filename){
rewrite ^/(.) /index.php break;
}
}

this nginx rewrite rule works

try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;

but login and daschboard access only
/admin/login
/admin/dashboard

Image Selection not working anymore

I don't get it. I'm on windows - Using Apache. So far everything worked fine.

Until recently selecting an image was the easiest thing ever.
Now the old "add image to article" button is gone. Why?

Profile image upload

Uploading the profile image (using php -S localhost:80) does currently not work.

Bludit tries to access the folder: content\uploads\profiles which does not exist.
After creating the folder I can upload the image.

Is there a template yet that displays the profile image?

Plugin page no check for redactor

I tried with redactor account and i can access on plugin page. (Just add admin/plugins in url)
Settings and themes is ok

Issues with running bludit locally

I have been facing issues while trying to run bludit on localhost. It seems to be something to do with the .htaccess file as commenting out "RewriteEngine on" allows the folder to be accessed but nothing else can be done even with "rewrite_module" enabled.

Tested on the following:

• WAMP
• Uniform Server Z
• XAMPP

Plugin Opengraph: problem with og:image

is always empty an gives an error message when testing with the Facebook debugger:

https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/

Works without the meta tag.

Tag "blog" shows all posts

The tag "blog" shows all posts. The numbering works.

TinyMCE does not work with polish interface

Hi,

TinyMCE does not show form for posts and pages in polish interface. I used validator for json files but it did not find any errors. That is weird because editor works fine with english or other language(s).

Pagination missing (tags)

When using tags only the number of posts set in "Posts per page" ("Settings" > "Advanced settings") is shown.

localhost:8000 admin page

hi,

whenever i try accessing the bludit admin panel with http://localhost:8000/admin/ it says the page cannot be found. however if i add "core" http://localhost:8000/core/admin it goes to the login page but you cannot login. i've got mod_rewrite activated so this should not be the problem.

i'm running bludit on osx with php -S localhost:8000

i've tried to find the problem but was not able so far. i've also placed bludit on my server where it runs perfectly. so it's just on my local machine

DirectorySlash Off breaks install.php auto-detection

It seems that the new entry in .htaccess since 1.0-beta1, "DirectorySlash Off" breaks auto-detection of install.php on fresh installations.

Tested on XAMPP 7.0.1 and also a live host.

Feature request: Change order of plugins

It would be nice to change the order of loaded plugins like I can do it with pages.

Google cuts title

I encountered a strange problem (not sure if it is Bludit related): Google cuts a title when using ". I cannot see any problem with the format of the title.

Browser detection in install don't work

I Diego, the detection is broken in select lang page,
I tried with this

// Try to detect language from HTTP
$locale = Locale::acceptFromHttp($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE']);
$localeFromHTTP = $locale;

But is the same, return only 2 letter (en) and not en_US
In a older bludit version i found the correct code.

Feature request: Jump to "First" and "Last" page option for posts and pages

If you have a lot of entries it takes quite a while to click through.

Error after updating.

Updated from 0.5 to 0.6.1
I downloaded a fresh copy of 0.6.1 and copied the content dir from 0.5 to 0.6.1

In Settings -> Language and timezone, this error is shown.

Notice: Undefined index: language-data in /var/www/html/blog/kernel/dblanguage.class.php on line 98

Line 98 has the following just for reference.

$native = $t->db['language-data']['native'];

Feature request: Autosave

While writing a post/page, the input should be saved to drafts at frequent intervals to prevent data loss if in case the browser crashes/user mistakenly closes the tab/browser.

Would be very useful. I lost an article I typed for an hour by mistakenly closing the tab.

Language selection does not work

The language selection in the installation process does not work with v. 1.0 Beta 1.

[minor] Change of "Language and timezone" has no effect on displaying the date

December in German should be Dezember (with a 'z'). As this is the case with all themes I guess it is not a theme issue but something in bludit.

1. Screenshot (Business Casual theme)
   
2. Screenshot
   

index.php in url gives an error

If you have a url like:

https://www.nstuts.net/index.php

the system gives an error page but if you remove the index.php from url, the system is going to home page.

If I have index.php in url, like above, it should automatically go to home page.

Admin URL must end with /

Not sure, but guess this is a small bug.

When trying to access the admin panel, the URL must be something like this: www.example.com/admin/ but when trying to access it with: www.example.com/admin it gives you 404 error.

Shouldn't both options be valid? Both ending with a slash and without it?

Add Folder Permissions For Github Version [Feature Request]

For those of us downloading or cloning the Github version why not add proper folder permissions to mirror bludit.com's official download version. In my personal experience i have to manually change folder and subfolder permissions to access bludit-master on my localhost.

find path/to/bludit-master -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;

For content/ folder

chmod 777 content

Feature request: Contact-Form

I checked to realise a plugin for contact form but I don't think this is posible yet because a plugin cannot open a page.
But I think this feature would be very useful.

Plugin Pages shows drafts

The plugin Pages shows also drafts in the sidebar navigation.

Pages sort

Please take a look at that screen. It seems like pages do not sort properly when they have child.

"Advanced":

IN the lang file on row 45 "Advanced": should be written as "advanced":
This is how its used in the code otherwise translation will not work

First-name and last-name not always saved

First-name and last-name of the admin or a user are not always saved. Seems that the names are not saved when at the same time a new password is set.

Request for update page position menu directly in page list.

Sorry Diego, i don't understand, i don't pull request directly in your depot :(

My PHP version is 5.4.24

Bug: /admin/themes does not show the default theme: pure

Bludit version: Bludit v1.0 BETA 1

Returns an empty table

Fix include file in index.php theme

Replace all include('php
to include(dirname(FILE).'/php

Small issue with pretty URL

Pretty URL cannot be "plugins". This gives an error message.

It happens if there is no parent page. If there is a parent page it works.

Position mainpage

If the mainpage (home) is not created as the first page, the position has to be 0 to be shown on top of the navigation in the sidebar (plugin Pages).

RSS

does it has this function or are the re plan for it in the near feature?

Tag bugs

Hi Diego,

tag/ url is automated added if you click on multiple tags link, example if i click 3 tags link:
http://localhost/bludit/**tag/tag/tag/**welcome

Posts: Problem withe date

When editing a post the "Published date" changes to the date of the editing (if it's not set manually) and the order of the posts changes. This is a little bit confusing.

Bug with Page + plugin use Hook pageEnd

Diego, with your new push a bug is arrived:

Warning: implode() [function.implode]: Invalid arguments passed in /home/u680092465/public_html/kernel/page.class.php on line 68

If a plugin use Hook pageEnd.

For fix this, i edit the class.page.php line 58 and i replace this

if($returnsArray) {

by

if(!is_array($returnsArray)) {

Same problem and fix in Warning: implode(): Invalid arguments passed in post.class.php on line 130

Notice when no sender is set in the settings

Hi,

in 0.4 there is a little notice when no sender was set after upgrading from 0.3:

Notice: Undefined index: emailFrom in /path/kernel/dbsite.class.php on line 98

Small Issues

1. Posts

Once a new post has been created the title is linked incorrectly. Trying to take you to //post/first-post for example:
<a class="ptitle" href="//post/first-post">First post</a>

2. Language Files

The current English language file is named en_EN.json, to use the correct locale it should become either en_US.json or en_GB.json

3. Regional > Locale

Currently the setting is en_EN Facebook debugger throws an error while trying to define it as it isn't a correct Locale option, I recommend it gets changed to a default state of en_US or en_GB.

Post titles in url + tag system

Hi Diego, loving bludit so far. Have it implemented on my site here - http://patrickbollenbach.me/blog/post/empty

As you can see in the url, the post title is labeled as "empty", the next post is called "empty_0" and so on. Not sure if you have this on your todo list, just thought I'd let you know!

Also, I don't seem to have any way of tagging my posts. Am I missing something here or is that just not fully implemented yet?

Cheers Diego, I will be having a look at the source code tomorrow afternoon to see if I can push anything useful.

Search function

A good search function is what I miss most so far.
Without the option to look for a specific entry searchin lots of posts is exhausting.

Problems with pages

There are sometimes pages that can only be saved, but there are no more buttons "Delete" and "Cancel". Also they cannot be assigned to a parent page.

Further assigning a page to a parent sometimes fails, after this the page also shows without the buttons "Delete" and "Cancel", and it can no more be assigned to a parent page.

No idea when this happens.

Feature request: Sorting of tags

Alphabetical sorting of tags. At the moment the tags are sorted by the date of addition.
