Sphene Community Tools 0.6 Release Candidate 1

Posted 4 months ago

As promised I have prepared a SCT 0.6 release. Now it is time for testing and it would be nice if any of you could help me with that!

Either download the release candidate or update to the latest trunk and test with your setup and django 1.1 ... [More] or later. (Or test by going through the basic Tutorial or the CommunityDraft installation).

You might also try having your groupName in the URL - this requires the new setting: SPH_SETTINGS['community_groups_in_url'] = True (it is still not documented, I'm working on it ). For a list of changes check the Issue Tracker for now (I haven't had time yet to update the Changelog).

Status and Future of SCT

Posted 4 months ago

Lately i had a bit less time for SCT so development and response in the forum has slowed down a bit. But since reports are increasing about problems with setup and especially URL lookups, I plan to get a new release out ASAP, since it has been a ... [More] while since SCT 0.5 was released and there are already a couple of fixes in the trunk which should get out.

So here is my plan:

0.6 - As soon as in 2 weeks: should contain all bugfixes and features in the current trunk (obviously) - the only thing left to do is stabilize everything (especially the new ability to have the groupName in the URL instead of the hostname. - it should be compatible with the latest django trunk and django 1.1 beta release (if there is a difference) - if people would test it against 1.0.2 - even better
0.9 - In 3-4 months: The most important thing for me right now is the WYSIWYG editor for the wiki and forum with features like image resizing, including of attachments, etc. It should also contain further stabilizing, cleanup (no dependency between the wiki and the forum) as well as easier installation and integration. (I still have to think about a way to convert an existing forum/wiki to a WYSIWYG forum/wiki - any ideas? )
1.0 - Once the featureset of 0.9 has been proven to work, i will bump it to 1.0

In addition to this, the documentation has to be improved and adopted for the latest version.

Please let me know what you think about this plan, what your current problems are when using SCT, and if you would be willing to contribute time and code. Either testing, writing documentation or providing code patches would significantly help me obviously
(Even providing feedback helps to motivate me to invest more time into SCT)

If you would be interested to help, but don't know how just leave a comment or write me an email.

Experimental WYSIWYG editor for the forum is now in SVN trunk !

Posted 10 months ago

Thanks to the great work of lootgoal there is now a WYSIWYG editor for SCT forum posts! It is still deactivated by default, but i would appreciate testers and feedback!

Feel free to test it out in the Sandbox forum! (Simply appending the GET parameter 'wysiwyg=1' enables it)

Forum: Slug URLs for threads and categories

Posted about 1 year ago

The Board application now has by default slugified URLs. The slug is simply added to the end of the URL and is completely ignored. Old links are still valid.

This behavior can be disabled using SPH_SETTINGS['board_slugify_links'] = ... [More] False

(In addition the /board/ URL is no longer a redirection to /board/show/0/)Hey, we have Signatures !!! Great, isn't it ? [Less]

Support for django 1.0

Posted about 1 year ago

I have just updated this website to the latest version of django (from the SVN trunk which should represent django 1.0) - and fixed all remaining problems.

This should make SCT pretty much compatible with django 1.0. The only problem left is ... [More] search integration with djapian. As soon as django 1.0 is released, i'm satisfied that SCT will work with it quite stable (i don't receive error mails ) I will probably release SCT 0.5 which will stay compatible with django 1.0Hey, we have Signatures !!!
