I just noticed that after changing a story status from "new" or "top" to "pending" or "buried" the story still displays itself under the category that it was posted under. Also how/where do we manage pending, buried stories?
Yeah, I still have work to do on that, and there's no Post Manager yet. Update: All fixed and done. Post Manager is here.
I did a test story with link breaks or what we used to call carriage returns and the text was still all together after submit. Maybe the next version could use the nl2br() function. http://www.w3schools.com/PHP/func_string_nl2br.asp EDIT: This feature might mess up the flow of the story summary page, maybe make it optional or only featured on the story page only. I think SWCMS is like this?
Attention theme designers! Version 1.6 of Submit includes changes to the list.php template: Change 1 (approx.line 28): Before: PHP: if ($hotaru->current_user->vars['settings']['new_tab']) { $target = 'target="_blank"'; } After: PHP: if ($hotaru->current_user->vars['settings']['new_tab']) { $target = 'target="_blank"'; }if ($hotaru->current_user->vars['settings']['link_action']) { $open = 'source'; } Change 2 (approx.line 65): Before: PHP: <a href='<?php echo $hotaru->post->origUrl; ?>' <?php echo $target; ?>><?php echo $hotaru->post->title; ?></a> After: PHP: <?php if ($open == 'source') { ?> <a href='<?php echo $hotaru->post->origUrl; ?>' <?php echo $target; ?>><?php echo $hotaru->post->title; ?></a><?php } else { ?> <a href='<?php echo $hotaru->url(array('page'=>$hotaru->post->id)); ?>' <?php echo $target; ?>><?php echo $hotaru->post->title; ?></a><?php } ?> That's because of a new setting which lets users choose how links should open - whether they should go to the source url or the post page on your site.
Updated: v.2.3 2010/03/28 - Nick - New plugin hook in Submit step 1 error checking I was surprised I hadn't already put a hook in the checkErrors1 function, but now that I have, you can make a whole range of plugins to allow or restrict post submission at the first step. For example, my Ego Squasher plugin (coming very soon)!
Updated: v.2.4 2010/04/01 - Nick - Split theme_index_top into multiple functions for easier extending (no templates/css/js changes)
Hi Nick, I noticed that if my description is too long I get "Nothing submitted" error. But I think it should tell you the reason it was not submitted, and at the moment it doesn't. Thanks, Pablo
I haven't seen that problem before. The Submit plugin doesn't have a maximum length for descriptions, and the maximum you can store in the database is 65535 characters. That's pretty big! So please provide all the information for the post you are trying to submit. There must be a different reason for the error. Thanks.
Updated v.2.5 2010/04/26 - Nick - If the story being submitted already exists, the user is redirected to it Nick - Renamed httprequest file and class to avoid clash with a PHP extension [Hotaru 1.2]
Updated again! v.2.6 2010/05/07 - Damon - Fix for clearing the temporary data table during post submission (Hotaru 1.2)
I would like the ability to Submit a story that links to Journal entry. Currently I have to submit without a URL and then hack the database with a URL link. Doable but tedious. I hope you consider this increased functionality in some future release of this plugin. Thanks. Rich
Noticed an issue. If you disable "post submission" checkbox in Submit Plugin admin cannot edit posts.
Anyone found a fix for this...really stumped. I would also suggest a way for only editor to add submissions from the backend. Is there maybe an easy way to remove submit from the menu bar?
Okay, it's a minor bug, but easily worked around. Just give submit and edit post permissions to the user groups you want to be able to submit posts. Do that from User Manager -> Edit Default Permissions.
Hello, This doesn't happen all the time but quite often, when submitting a bookmark I got this error: Notice: unserialize() [function.unserialize]: Error at offset 200 of 255 bytes in /home/****/****/******/public_html/content/plugins/submit/libs/SubmitFunctions.php on line 296. And when I try it again (without reload) I got this error: Notice: Undefined index: submit_editorial in /home/****/*****/******/public_html/content/plugins/submit/submit.php on line 560 Notice: Undefined index: submit_orig_url in /home/******/*****/*****/public_html/content/plugins/submit/submit.php on line 561 Any solution? thanks in advance!
Hi RSP, I'll need more information, especially your site url and an example of a link that generates the error. Thanks.
