Beta 6 Finds & Suggestions
Posted: Sun Sep 24, 2017 9:16 pm
I think the Admin panel should say
Add New Content
Under Advanced, Status is either Blog Post, Static, Draft
This causes confusion and for a new Bludit user, how are they to know where to look for new blog post, or that they need to select the status Published to make it appear as a blog post.
Settings-->Advanced Settings
Predefined Pages & Website or Blog Sections can be made into 1 section
Think about this, if you select a page that was created as the homepage, then there is no need to select Order content by because the site will now act as a website versus a blog.
Selecting Order Content By Date vs Position does not constitute a blog vs a website. It simply lists post created in the position they were originally written, but it still is in a blog like format with each post listed under each other.
Plugins
Category Plugin Settings:
What is this? NO AVAILABLE: Categories without content
NO AVAILABLE: Show the categories without content
Change this to Hide Categories without content: Enable or Disabled
Links:
What is this? NO AVAILABLE: Add a new link
What is NO AVAILABLE? Please explain and I will try to correct it grammatically in English for you.
Fixed Pages & Pages plugins are almost identical. Need to remove one or the other or justify why they are different. Both have option to enable/disable and show home link.
Timemachine:
Really love this idea but one thing to fix is NO AVAILABLE again. Let's figure this out and fix that. Also, one thing to think about, I am not sure it really matters, but Apple's software to restore systems to a past time/date is called Time Machine. Not sure if there is any issues there but a point I wanted to mention.
Version:
Love this plugin also. If it will update Bludit based on new releases, that would be great. Just make sure Timemachine can rollback to previous version in case of an issue.
Last thing, I have this error in my sidebar and not sure why. It has something to do with the Links and Categories and Pages sections that were on the beta3
Fatal error: Call to undefined method dbPages::getFixedDB() in /public_html/transcribr.net/bl-plugins/fixed-pages/plugin.php on line 45
Line 45:
$pages = $dbPages->getFixedDB();
Seems to referencing what used to be there or labeled differently now? Not sure. I will try to disable the Fixed pages plugin and re-enable and see what happens.
Disabling Fixed Pages plugins makes the sidebar work properly again.
Sections:
Pages
Menu
Links
Categories
Links and Categories are working now. I think for Menu you should rethink that as it just a list of Category Name and Post Name. That's not a real menu nor a typical Menu used on Sites or Blogs and you already have the Pages section on the sidebar which list the posts whether a blog post or a static page.
Also, if you enable Order content by Position the font of the names of the pages under Pages section on sidebar is bigger font than if you select Order content by Date. Try it and see what I mean.
