You are reading the Drake CMS Official Forums archive, available for historical purposes only.
Drake CMS has been rebranded into Lanius CMS, visit the new Lanius CMS Official Forums if you need support about Lanius CMS or Drake CMS -> Lanius CMS migration.
Currently I use/test DrakeCMS v0.4.7 RC2 4389 and I must say a
lot of problems have been fixed since RC1 - well done
DrakeTeam!
But I encountered some strange behavior
with the 'download manager':
1) It isn't possible to
reorder items unter 'Categories' or 'Downloads' due to the fact
that there is no adequate button.
2) When uploading a
file with 'New -> File upload' all filenames get an
alphanumeric prefix, separated with a '_'. And when downloading
these files, the described prefix is cut of again. So far so
good - but if a file is too big to upload via the 'File upload'
feature you have to upload it manually into the
/private/downloads/ directory and link it with the 'Local Path'
option as a downloadable file. And if this filename contains any
'_', the whole part of the name up to and including the first '_'
is truncated by downloading the file. I think, this is a bit
confusing, compared to the behavior of the 'File Manager'
component, uploading files without prefix.
3) The
'Browse' button under 'New Download -> Local Path' opens a
fileselection window, but there you can't switch to the
'downloads' directory (where I normally transfer downloadable
files via ftp). Furthermore you always have to resize the
fileselection window to show the OK an Cancel buttons - which is
a bit annoying but possibly a problem of the browser software (I
use firefox 2.0.0.6).

The reorder button should be there
now.

That's because the protect flag is not behaving correctly. It
should rename the file, please say if it's ok with the latest
revision

The prefix does not get added if you do not enable
the protect flag

It should

Re-testing with rev 4400:

Button is there, but doesn't have any effect. Unfortunately I can't test 2) and 3) because of the following
error which occurs when pressing 'New' or 'Edit' in 'Manage
downloads':
Code:
Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class:
scriptedui_class in
/home/whuber-de/htdocs/_whcms/admin/classes/ui.php on line 744

Names of already uploaded files are still
truncated from their beginning up to and including the first '_'
- but only if they contain any '_'.

Maybe
a stupid question - but where to enable/disable this 'protect
flag'? BTW at present I cant't test it because of this bug.

So the code still needs some
checks... Quote:

It's not stupid, the "protect
flag" I was talking about is the option which says
"Serve all files via PHP..."

That should be fixed by now
