Well, an image is worth a thousand words. I guess that if Hydra/SamyWeb didn’t insistently bug me as she usually does, FP would have much less features, lol :D

A question I’m asked often is whether FP supports or not having multiple users; well, in short, the answer is no.

The long answer is you may run multiple times the setup and choosing a different username and password; this way you would get one user for each time setup was run.

Why hiding so well such a feature? Well, every user would get administrative powers, so I thought it was better not making it world-available, you know. :)

So, use it at your own risk.

I’ll work on a three-level system, but at the moment I want to focus on more important features and on polishing the core.

The other question is about translating plugins.

Today I was asked if SPB system wasn’t better, as they put all of their language files in the same directory. Well, SPB does not have a plugin system, and even if it did it would be probably self-contained.

By the way, I thought about a way to put everything in the main lang/ directory. The problem is plugins should really NOT depend on anything coming from a clean installation, so a plugin developer should package his work this way (notice that directory structure for plugins changed in 0.702 version):

[fp-interface]
        [lang]
            [en-us]
                 lang.plugin.PLUGINNAME.php
            [other-lang]
                 lang.plugin.PLUGINNAME.php
[fp-plugins]
        [PLUGINNAME]
                 plugin.PLUGINNAME.php
                 [res]
                 [tpls]

So that you, as a user, would upload just the whole directory tree without having to think about the dir structure.

You can understand that just having

[PLUGINNAME]
      plugin.PLUGINNAME.php
      [res]
      [tpls]
      [lang]

would be easier for both the maintainer and the user; the maintainer would package only one directory for each plugin, and the user would upload only that directory.

I know this would make life for the plugin dev more complicated, but on the other hand I can’t find anything better :/

Bye!

PS: do you like the new graphics on this web page? (Shit+F5 if you don’t see anything new)

You can get a new package with a whole bunch of bug fixes… Would you ever think I had error reporting with notices disabled? O.o

http://flatpress.now … tpress/downloads.php

EDIT: Package had a bug in the installer. Please
redownload it.

EDIT2: If you are going to upgrade your installation (notice I haven’t myself, yet :P) please:

a. do a backup first
b. run the setup
c. if you still have issues, try to clear the cache/ directory contents manually (do not delete the dir itself).

I’ve uploaded to the unstable releases a preview package for 0.702 consider it still unstable, as a first sight to the new exciting features of FP. Test it, I wouldn’t suggest it on production environments.

Italian language has not been updated, English has.

Javascript thingies may not work.

One “visible” feature: the new [video] tag, which for now only supports youtube and google video; just copy and paste the URL to a google video and the system will create the correct and xhtml valid code to embed it on your page :)

e.g. [video=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gmP4nk0EOE]

for the famous web2.0 video

Here are some screenies:

New installer with modified theme (with new features such as selective overwrite)

Thanks to six from the forum we now have (almost) full Hungarian translation for our beloved FlatPress :)

http://www.sixweb.hu/flatpress_hu.zip - the main files
http://www.sixweb.hu … ess_adminarea_hu.zip - adminarea
http://www.sixweb.hu … ress_antispam_hu.zip
http://www.sixweb.hu … ss_categories_hu.zip
http://www.sixweb.hu … s_lastentries_hu.zip

Kudos to six! Show him some love :)

Then now we have

• English translation (bundled)
• Italian translation (bundled)
• French translation
• Hungarian translation

w00t !

I’m thinking about putting up a wiki, probably dokuwiki so that you as users can on your own:

• post your plugins
• post your themes
• link to your blog
• update your translations

and make them available for download. This will mean having new stuff ready without having to wait for me package a (re)release, which will imply making my work lighter, and me happy. And a happy dev leads to happy users :P

I’d like to open an international board, (I’d like to try Vanilla; I know it looks strange but it’s quite cool) too, but, you must be many! there’s nothing sadder than an empty forum :D

So convince your friend to try FlatPress and fall in love with it (ROTFL) :D

You might start spamming with mails about some kind of fake referral program, so that if you bring five friends to the magic world of FlatPress™ you’ll gain money, love and luck, if each one of them will bring five friends in turn, LOL :D :D,

Do it! this is not a fake, I have a friend who has a friend who has a brother who has a friend that once had no money, then he tried FlatPress and he found a wallet on the street near his home. Then the police knocked his door and arrested him for pillaging.

A friend of a friend of a cousin of mine thought this was a fake and then he died of a terrible, terrible death. Well, he deserved it, but that’s not the point.

So, resend this mail to at least four hundred of your friends in five seconds or your computer will burst in thousands of flaming pieces.

Really, don’t you already smell the smoke. That’s it.

LOL, just kidding ;)
