FLEXIContent - v2.0.0 - final for J2.5 released (r1648)

hi.
some bugs/questions:
1. i select "use unicode URL's" in global configuration of site but my Russian aliases ignored and replaced with date (in com_content aliases saves fine).

2. in categories manager there buttion "Copy parameters
", but it seems it does nothing (listing of categories in pop-up is always empty)

3. if i create/edit category and use "Copy all parameters from" drop-down list then my category still have default parameters.

4. also, seems like there is session problem:
if i do nothing (category manager is opened) about 3-4 min and try create new category i get:
"You are not permitted to use that link to directly access that page (#1)."
after i logout/login its disappear.

next beta will have
-- the 2 modules: universal module (i will check what Arkadiy posted) and tag cloud module
-- fixes these bugs about parameters ignored and not copied

but this will be in the middle of week

Regards

Hi,

Just had a look at the latest beta version, glad to see you're using Joomla ACL now!

Is it correct that permissions aren't working correctly yet? When I change the permissions and save an article for example it isn't saved.

Thanks! Sander

The parameters of items and of fields and maybe other places too are not loaded properly, also ACL is incomplete on at least a handful of important places, like e.g. items. It is to be done ...

I would have that this user only can use FLEXIcontent in Backend.
Have created a new user / user group & accexx levels for e.g. "TESTUSER".

If i set for group TESTUSER at "FLEXIcontent / Configuration / Permissons" ACCESS COMPONENT to Allowed i con not see FLEXIcontent in Backend.
If i do the same with Component "BANNERS" i can see in Backend.

Why This
Is this the same Problem as SANDER have?
THANKS!

Hi lukass2000,

Yes, it seems to me the same issue. It looks like permissions are implemented, but the aren't saved yet.

@ggppdk, thank you for your quick reply. Any idea when ACL will be implemented in trunk? I would like to help testing on this part when it's implemented.

Cheers, Sander

Sorry no time for FLEXIcontent development, till Thursday or Friday.

I must make a living too ...

Hi!

Is there already something new until there is a new beta 2.0?

THANK YOU

Several bugs were fixed since last version and added some new features like a new template 'faq' and the Universal FLEXIcontent module (which has a couple of more possibilities and better grouping of the parameters)

Also some changes to the advanced search feature too (this feature was implemented by enjoyman but since his english is not so good , i tried to reorganize things to be more user friendly). Also for advance search feature i have added support for some fields, and fixed some small bugs. But it still needs some more work.

I will make some tests and upload a new version with a changelog too, hopefully today.

Regards
