Topic: Releasing Wolf CMS 0.6.0 release candidate 1

Hi! And welcome to the bright future of Wolf CMS.

You've read it correctly, we have just released Release Candidate 1 of Wolf CMS 0.6.0! This is a great step forward for Wolf and its users. This fledgling project emerged on the scene just last July and this is a major update.

Please see the relevant blog post for more information.

What is an RC release?

Most if not all stable releases of Wolf CMS will be preceded by one or more "Release Candidates" or RC release. A release candidate is a version of Wolf CMS which we feel could be stable enough for normal use, but which we want to keep testing first. Once any issues that came up during testing of an RC release have been corrected, a stable release will be made available.

The intention of the RC releases is to give you, the user, a chance to help us test an upcoming release.

We hope you'll enjoy this new release and please help us test! cool

Re: Releasing Wolf CMS 0.6.0 release candidate 1

Nice, nice

I like the new design. Rounded corners are new square smile

Impressions:

1. The new requirements test is very good addition during install, though I didn't passed Clean URL's, but I don't see how you can pass anyway as it needs .htaccess
2. I had troubles with random password during installation, and in the end had to rewrite password manually thru phpmyadmin
3. Nice roundy design is good refreshment and looks better (just my opinion)
4. I don't see the "cron" calender in "Metadata" part for every new article I want to create, but installed articles all have it (don't know what can be a problem with that)
5. Everything else is working like a charm, even translation (which,btw, didn't worked locally on my pc)

All in all, nicely done. Good job big_smile

EDIT: I can see calendar, but only after I save new article and click on it again.

Well, it allows you to rename _.htaccess before/during the requirements testing fase of the install to see if rewriting works on your installation. (though you'll still have to manually change the RewriteBase if you rename the wolfcms directory or have wolf live in the root of your site)

Do tell! smile It was working nicely on my local testing system. If you have more details, please make an issue for it if necessary.

Hmm, well the calendar and its behaviour didn't change from 0.5.5. I did add cron support, but that doesn't affect the calendar popup in the edit page screen.

For those of you wondering how to trigger the cron functionality without using poormans cron, just create a cron entry with wget getting wolf/app/cron.php like so:

0 * * * * wget -O - -q -t 1 http://www.example.com/wolf/app/cron.php

This assumes you've installed Wolf CMS to the root of your site and activates the cron tasks once every hour.

It doesn't really do much so far though since nothing is actually using the cron function yet(!). wink

edit: I've added a topic on cron support to the wiki

Instead of Windows Scheduler I ca recommend this small peace of soft:
Freeware Windows Cron - it is just 22 kb.

I am using this soft years. It is free, easy, small and fast. Furthermore you can use it exacly like on unix systems.

Don't have any more details. This is the first time something like this has happened to me. I mostly blame it on Windows Vista as I'm having a lot of problems with it (was testing during my day job smile, not at home), so I don't think it is very relevant for the issue opening.

EDIT: Tested under different server. Works without any problem. I assume it was a Vista and VertrigoServ problem as later on I got BOD from Vista (btw, Vista sucks!!!)

Re: Releasing Wolf CMS 0.6.0 release candidate 1

When I go to the admin, I don't get any styles. When I look at the source I get
    <link href="//admin/stylesheets/admin.css" media="screen" rel="Stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    <link href="//admin/stylesheets/toolbar.css" media="screen" rel="Stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    <link href="//admin/themes/brown_and_green/styles.css" id="css_theme" media="screen" rel="Stylesheet" type="text/css" />

Not sure why I am getting double slashes at the beginning. Any thoughts?

If I move the install to a wolfcms directory and change my config values, it works.

This is something that slipped through into the initial RC1 release, but has since been fixed (r99). Easiest thing to do is download the RC1b release, or just replace the files listed in the r99 commit.

Hope that helps!
