Hello,

duh - I'm apparently lost in the manual. Is there somewhere a list of
all available tags and item variables available in Campsite? I think I
once stumbled across one, idiotically I was too stupid to store the
link somewhere and now I can't find it again.

Cheers,

Pippa

Hello Holman,

HR> Here it is:
HR> http://code.campware.org/manuals/campsite/3.3/index.php?id=62

Hmm... not really.

What I am looking for is a *complete* list somewhat like this:

{{ breadcrumb }} = inserts the breadcrumb trail = modifiers are ...
{{ include file="" }} = inserts content of a tpl file = modifiers ...
{{ list_sections }} = lists the sections = modifiers are ...
 {{ $campsite->article->... }} = inserts fields = these you can ...
etc.


And the whole sorted according to area/what they manipulate.

When I wrote I was looking for a way to insert a tag-line above the
article title. I have abused the "deck" for that. But I couldn't find
the relevant tag for that anywhere in the manual either. So I tried to
copy what is already in the template only using "deck" instead of
"name" and used {{ $campsite->article->deck }}.

Obviously that works, but in the manual there is no clearcut
instruction how this works and why, and above all, whether I could
myself write such tags and how so.

What is very frustrating and truly needs to be changed in the new
manual that you plan is HOW things are explained. Right now
explanations are so fragmented, that a non-coder has not a chance in
hell to truly understand them. It does not really help if ways to
modify a certain tag are explained in a totally different part of the
manual, it needs to be done right where the tag itself is mentioned.

And if indeed everyone can write his own tags (something which no
simple webdesigner/webmaster used to other CMS will even guess at!!!),
this needs to be explained right away, with trumpets, whistles and
bells, so that people understand something very different from other
CMS and also very important.

Sorry for the criticisms, but I think they are very, very important.
It took me a whole day to understand this. Now, I usually work for
money, a whole day of wrapping my brain around such an actually little
but essential thing would have cost a client or me some 300 USD or
more. My current client for Campsite can be very happy that I work pro
bono and want to understand the system myself. But the next user might
be under much more financial or time-related pressure than me and
quickly give up on Campsite like so many do. You see what I mean?

It doesn't stop there, here's my next problem. When I insert pictures
a table gets inserted (I actually would prefer a choice of either
table - for caption ability, and no table). Somewhere in the depths of
the software an hspace and a vspace of 5px is added. I would like to
style the picture myself. I can style the caption via .caption (where
the heck is the actual template/html code for that table?), but I
can't style the picture itself and I have to deal with v/hspaces I do
not want. I'd rather add a padding to that table myself, like
left-right-bottom only and of much more than just 5px, and very
especially without the top margin auto-added by the system which
pushes the photo below the topline of the text. Also, I wished I could
expand caption texts, however, as apparently the table is set to
"no-wrap" that doesn't work. So where do I undo that "no-wrap"? The
caption needs to wrap to accommodate a longer explanation of what's
seen there. (BTW - saving the whole article kills display of the
captions, this has to be a bug). Something as essential as this also
needs to be inside the manual, but again I was unable to locate that
info :-/.

So, off my soap box :o) I hope enough of you are back home from
holidays to show me how to change those table settings ;-)

Cheers,

If you usually work for money, why wouldn't you spend some of that on campsite support and instead of spending a full day on a template have it in one hour? The time we spend reading, understanding your requests and finding a solution is not a short time. And when you post tens of request this time adds up. We usually spend at least 2 full days per month on answering support requests for free.

So again, why would we work for free for you, so you can earn money? A user under financial or time-related pressure WOULD JUST PAY for support. For users who don't want to pay for support there is this manual and whatever help you may find on the forum. That's the way free software works: no guarantees and no support. If you want these you have to pay.

Language code change

by Generare Management Department :: Rate this Message:

Reply to Author | View Threaded | Show Only this Message

Hi,

We have language codes in Campsite for example like "en_US" and  
"de_DE" (instead of normal "en" only).
It was understood first at us that all the English spoken articles so  
far in the system would be "en_US" but now we heard they should be all  
"en_UK" and have UK flag as link.

I can handle the flag issue, no problem. But can I safely just change  
all the articles that are in "en_US" to "en_UK"? What is the best way  
for it?

I think the easiest way would be to just change the language code from en_US to en_UK in the language configuration screen (admin menu->Configure->Languages). I suppose you just want to switch the articles you already wrote in en_US to en_UK. This will do the trick, there is no need to create a new language: en_UK.

Hope this helps,
Mugur

We don't have it, and we should. It's on my todo list. I can use some help,
so please send me a separate message if you'd like to join me in this
effort. Pippa, you can help by providing the initial list.

You don't need to abuse anything (as I've written before. Article types are
completely flexible, so you can create any structure you want. It's
described pretty decently here:
http://code.campware.org/manuals/campsite/3.3/index.php?id=197&lang=en-us
What's missing is a basic explanation of Campsite concepts, especially
having in mind people with experiences from other CMSs.

Yes, you are right. The "cookbook" I have mentioned before should remedy
that.

Indeed. We should trumpet that more. A New to Campsite? FAQ or basic intro
should be helpful. Again, you, or anybody else could provide the initial
list of questions (and answers, where there are some). So who wants to help
me create this wiki? (with the idea of connecting it or merging it with the
manual).

It's commendable that you are going through the manual before you come
here, but if your search for answers turns from minutes into hours, please
bring the individual issues to the list in a concise form, and answer will
come sooner or later (repeat the question if necessary). FYI, I'll try to
rekindle our IRC channel #campsite at freenode and see if that helps people
with basic issues. I can only guarantee my presence there, it's up to the
rest to join or not :)

I'll try this to replace the abused deck field and will keep notes. This

solution to lots of demands.

stmo> What's missing is a basic explanation of Campsite concepts, especially

Yes, very much so. Campsite is much more versatile and stronger than
many other CMS, few people would even think of such possibilities on
their own.

Once I've finished this project I'll be very happy to contribute what

Well, as I mentioned, I am still short of the explanation where I can
set the values of the photo table. To be concise:

1. I need to set hspace and vspace to "0px"
2. I need the table cell containing the caption to "wrap" normally
(meaning if a photo is 400 px and the text exceeds that width, the
text should wrap into further lines of text, rather than widen the
table).

Pointing out where I need to look for the settings should be all,
unless it's ultra-complicated.

Cheers,

Pippa

Well, currently it is a tad complicated as you would have to go and take a
look at  template_engine/metaclasses/MetaSubtitle.php
class... more precisely the  ProcessImageLink() function.  There's where
the table+image+caption are defined. Holman says it's not a paragon of
clarity, so please make sure to back up the original file before
experimenting.

The good news is that those features are already on the 3.4 roadmap:
http://trac.campware.org/campsite/ticket/2521
http://trac.campware.org/campsite/ticket/2958

The latter is already implemented.

I hope this helps. All the best,

Sava

image templating

Just to report back - changing the hspace and vspace to 0 was no
problem and now I can style the padding via CSS very exactly.

I so far couldn't pinpoint the reason for the table cell not wrapping
the text, but will see what I can do via CSS or HTML.

As a note to those working on this for future versions: please pull
something this important (for templating) from hardcoded files. The
webmaster/admin of a site should be able to set something like this at
least in the admin interface or within the templates (via CSS). That
way the average editor/reporter needn't bother with it, while the
site owner can have it set according to his own needs.

Personally I would prefer being able to assign specific templates or
rather types to images, which I can define and preset. E.g.:

- thumbnails (with a possibility for popup images)
- inline article images (with values set by the admin with or without
caption)
- section images (excerpts or thumbnails or whole pictures) displayed
on section pages
- images for which a URI can be set, so that they can be used instead
of introductory text

And all that so that the reporter himself can choose between these
variants (without having to specify anything else but what he wants as
image) while writing his article. It also should be possible to assign
the images specific CSS classes like "image_left", "image_right" or
"gallery". That way CSS could be individually assigned to where in the
text or what for an image is used.

I once again recommend having a look at Soderlind's OS old Wordpress
Imagemanager plugin, which enabled just that. Possibly some of his
code can be reused or serve as a sample.

Also a question - I saw that you plan to implement RSS and web 2.0
features in Campsite. When do you - roughly - expect this to be
available?

Cheers,

Pippa

Hi,

Looks like a permissions issue... hum, although it is weird because
apache user was able to write the image in filesystem, so in theory it
should be able to change permissions for the file.

I'll take care of this, thank you for reporting.

chmod returns error when the file it is run against is not owned by the user running chmod; quite convoluted description but I hope it's understandable. That means the files created by apache are not owned by the apache user - apache is run in suexec mode. The quick fix for this would be to edit the Image.php file from classes directory and comment the line 520:
                   chmod($thumbnail, 0644);
to:
//                   chmod($thumbnail, 0644);

We'll have to think of a more permanent and proper fix...

So far so good then. Please keep us posted on the progress.

Yes, that's exactly what's planned for 3.4 (
http://trac.campware.org/campsite/ticket/2521). Please feel free to add
more detail to that ticket.

I believe (someone more knowledgeable should step in here) a lot of this is
doable already now via image numbers,
e.g. you can do something like this:
:<div align="right"> <img src="{{ uri options="image 2" }} /></div>

And a lot more will be available once we relase the new thumbnail features
Holman has implemented. Of
course, the whole process should be much more intuitive to the reporter
(the image numbers are an old workaround used by Campsite templaters from
time immemorial :). And I'd definitely like to have that in the 3.4 series.

I already took a look at it and it definitely has some very interesting
features. We just have to think of where to "park" such functionality, so
it fits well with the general logic of image management in Campsite.

What particular tickets? (This:
http://trac.campware.org/campsite/ticket/2506 ? or something else?)

All the best,

I think if you click the creation date calendar after publishing and
enter a date it actually changes the publish date, even if it looks
like you're editing the creation date. But I don't have the same
version.

This was indeed fixed in the official release of 3.3.2 (
http://trac.campware.org/campsite/ticket/2966). It was a minor bug with
that input field. For those who haven't upgraded, the workaround is to
delete the whole date, then enter the desired date.

All the best,
