I’m more than happy to announce the first Release Candidate of FlatPress 1.4 “Notturno”!

Please see the full RC1 release announcement on our project blog at flatpress.org, and the detailed change log on GitHub.

Everyone is invited to help us testing! Please report any bugs and glitches here on the FlatPress support forum, create an issue on GitHub or simply send us an email. Thank you!

Hello,
I have to test it on my main webspace, but for now I have updated some italian language files.
Here is the zip file.

I have uploaded the new rc on my webspace (in a different directory of course) and it seems working like a charm.
I'll test it more deeply but i haven't encountered any major bugs or glitch.
PHP version 7.4.33

Here are a few results from a test of FlatPress 1.4-dev Github 1899.
Test environment Apache with PHP 8.4.4

Download, upload and setup FlatPress 1.4-dev Github 1899 without errors, everything runs smoothly
Reconfiguring to the German language works
Importing German-language Leggero theme and transfer works
Activation of standard FlatPress 1.4-dev plugins works
First look at the frontend is ok (note: later BBcode error occurs, see below)

After installing and activating the plugins Emoticons and QuickGallery everything is still ok, except for the frontend.

Code: Select all

PHP Warning:  Trying to access array offset on false in ../fpgit1899/fp-plugins/bbcode/plugin.bbcode.php on line 231

Import of 500 posts (my personal FP developer documenation) with images, files and Quickgallery and the following happens:

Code: Select all

PHP Warning:  Undefined array key "default" in ../fpgit1899/fp-plugins/photoswipe/photoswipefunctions.class.php on line 42
PHP Deprecated:  strpos(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($haystack) of type string is deprecated in ../fpgit1899/fp-plugins/photoswipe/photoswipefunctions.class.php on line 45
PHP Warning:  Undefined array key 0 in ../fpgit1899/fp-plugins/photoswipe/photoswipefunctions.class.php on line 76
PHP Deprecated:  strlen(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($string) of type string is deprecated in ../fpgit1899/fp-plugins/photoswipe/photoswipefunctions.class.php on line 77
PHP Warning:  Trying to access array offset on null in ../fpgit1899/fp-plugins/photoswipe/photoswipefunctions.class.php on line 77

The rest of the test with search and a quick click through the archive and categories ran without any further warnings, but I have to admit that FlatPress crashed several times without comment when I was playing with some themes. I'm not sure where these theme problems come from, but I suspect syntax or similar errors

The error with the old QuickGallery plugin and the new PhotoSwipe plugin can be reproduced. As soon as both plugins are activated and you click on a gallery in FlatPress, these lines appear in the PHP error.log:

Code: Select all

PHP Warning:  Undefined array key "photoswipe" in ../fpgit1905/fp-plugins/photoswipe/res/photoswipe.js.php on line 56
PHP Warning:  Trying to access array offset on null in ../fpgit1905/fp-plugins/photoswipe/res/photoswipe.js.php on line 56

The other problem with the FlatPress themes cannot be clearly reproduced. Theoretically, depending on the activated PHP version, it could be with the .tpl files

Code: Select all

Example admin.tpl:

{include file="cpheader.tpl"}

have to do with (german/french/english) apostrophes. I am not sure here.

Tested with FlatPress 1.4-dev Github 1905
Environment Apache with PHP 8.4.4

best regards

Hi! I just downloaded RC1 and gave it a run serving with
php -S localhost:8080

Notes:
1. I had to install php8-ctype on opensuse tumbleweed. Maybe that should be somewhere in the installation instructions?
But it may be something special opensuse does with respect to php. I'm no expert in php.

2. The example page still refers to (X/twitter).

Otherwise a nice fresh release candidate! Congrats!

Hello Detlef,

the ctype extension is a standard library in PHP since PHP 4.2. In special environments (e.g. self-compiled PHP versions or minimalistic Docker images) it might be missing if it has been disabled.

I have removed X (Elon's toy) from the welcome entries in the GitHub repo.

With best regards
Frank
