compactcms's Issues

admin page broken due to b0rking mochaUI

update JS libs and see if they can be made into git submodules (part 1)

Step 1 is to upgrade to the latest working version (bit of a challenge where it comes to mochaUI, but alas)

JS libs considered

mootools-core
mootools-more
mochaUI
mootools-filemanager
tinyMCE
area_edit (or should we migrate to CodeMirror as that one is actively maintained?)
lazyload
milkbox
fancyupload
coolclock

CSS libs considered:

bleuprint-css

PHP libs considere

getID3
BrowsCap
css-tidy
css-compressor
HTMLawed
jsmin
packager
simpleTest (trial use in mootools-filemanager backend; intent is to unittest CompactCMS code as well)

provide upgrade path in installer

Requested old backups/versions of CCMS before; the upgrade code is still in its infancy and doesn't work (not even committed to github yet).

make page be a _local_ link to a ./media subdirectory or other part of the site

Create Page ability to link to existing pages / parts of the website which are otherwise not managed by CompactCMS, e.g. other PHP packages or collections of HTML files, stored in a file hierarchy.

Result should be that link is written in the menus.

How to make those pages appear within the same template (site layout) is an open question though... (iframe is rather yucky)

add 'inlined' pages (i.e. mixing db 'pages' to create a single html output page)

Adding 'inlining' to CCMS: place content into menu instead of link to page.

add 1 column to pages table:

ALTER TABLE ccms_pages ADD inlining ENUM( 'Y', 'N' ) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'N' COMMENT 'Whether or not the text should be displayed in its own page or ''inlined'' in the menu.'

Idea is to have a multicolumn template display more than one 'page' at the same time, say one in the 'contents' pane and another page in the 'sidebar'. Currently, CCMS doesn't support such a thing as the html page URL is related to a single page id.

We can keep that approach (in fact, it's rather clean and I like it: you should be able to uniquely identify each rendered page anyhow and this is how!) by adding a 'mixer' addon: the 'mixer' stores which 'sub'page goes where; only will work when templates support the multiple target areas, the way I have it in my mind right now.

update JS libs and see if they can be made into git submodules (part 2)

Once we're up and running again re js/css/php lib updates/upgrades, it's time to see how much 'directory moves' we need to do to allow each of those to become a .gitmodule - this phase should produce the .gitmodules file and the moves/edits to allow us to use git to run the updates.

The intent here is to have each library available in a separate repo, independent of CompactCMS, and a bash script which does the updating (msysGit / UNIX-based git).

Ditching test files during install

We also should augment the installer to ditch any unused library test files during an install - that way we can keep all the test/etc. development files in there -- and in the github repositories! -- and still have a clean production environment.

tinyMCE: edit page sizes editor to size of document

This is a bug, at least when mochaUI is not functional. (On second thought: it is a bug when mochaUI /is/ working.)

The size should be limited to the size of the display so that the tinyMCE toolbar remains visible while you scroll through the (large) page content you're editing.

if a page exists in ./media, you can 'relink' by entering its name in 'Create Page'

admin screen: code checks if page exists when you 'create a page'.

Verify that this is indeed working as described, because this (new!) behaviour is meant to recover broken sites - a thing that can happen when, for instance, an import or upgrade failed and your page table is nuked in the database.
