Alpha/beta releases of PagEd should be treated as potentially buggy and should be applied to production sites only after backup. ContentsIf youre not a big fan of manuals, or if reading them does bad things for your credibility, consider browsing the items marked with *** anyway. We wont tell anyone.Installation: New installUnzip and upload folder modules/PagEd into YourSite/modules folder. Installation: UpgradeUpgrade process: Unzip and upload module files into existing PagEd folder. Image folders and netpbm folder need not be replaced. Then, go to your Postnuke/eNvolution/MD-Pro admin panel/modules, regenerate. The PagEd entry MAY say "New version installed". If so, press "upgrade" and then "activate". This does NOT trigger database upgrade changes. Admin panel iconThis PagEd module pack is intended to work under both Postnuke, eNvolution and MD-Pro. Therefore, two different admin panel icons are included. To display one of them, turn to PagEd/images and change the name of either adminpn.gif (Postnuke) or adminenvo.gif (eNvolution, MD-Pro) to just admin.gif. In folder PagEd/pnimages, do the same.
Image handlingNOTE:PagEd offers a flexible way of resizing images according to taste. Should you find the functionality not working, please make sure you have installed and configured as mentioned here.PagEd offers 2 options for handling/resizing images: Deprecated filesThe following files were included with PagEd in earlier releases, but may now be deleted, as they are no longer used: News displayPlease read the FAQ at PagEd web site for how-to information.
PagEd as front pageThis is easily set in Module Settings. Select a PagEd article or PagEd news. Should you wish to go back to Postnuke News as your front page, this is the first alternative on the drop-down list of pages in PagEd Module Settings/Front page.
Control panel blockA small PagEd control panel block can be created in site admin/blocks/new block. This will give you quick-links to the main editor panels wherever you like on your front page.
PagEd AutoContent BlockThis block can be used in a number of ways. Create one and have a look at the options.
Topics menu blockIn order to make the PagEd topics feature more useful, you can now create a topic menu block. In your site admin/Blocks/New block, select the PagEd Topics Block and place where you like (left, center or right). This block is not configurable, but will display as a listing of all topics viewable, depending on the user`s language. A user browsing in English will see all topics connected to “all” languages and “eng” languages, etc. IMPORTANT: You do not have to select a specific language for the block, as the block will only display links according to the user language. Single-topic BlockCreate this block if you want a topic overview displayed in a block instead of a full page. Selectable topic header articleThe topic overview feature gives you a listing of all articles under a topic. You can place one article above the others by selecting this in Edit Topic. This article will be shown in full, and can be used as a presentation of the topic, or as a Top Story.
Editor permissionsFrom the Group Manager, displaying all groups on your site, you can proceed to edit permissions for a single group. In Edit Permissions, it is possible to define edit access only to many aspects of operation. NOTE:For read permissions, see next section.
Read permissionsPagEd supports the Postnuke/eNvolution/MD-Pro permissions system for user-dependant display. The correct syntax in permissions is: Local/external image linkingIf you need to add images in PagEd which are stored outside the PagEd/pictures folder, enter a local or external path in Edit Content or Edit Topic. External (from other web sites) images will be imported into the pictures folder.
Database backup managerA database backup manager is now accessible from the Control Panel. It gives you the option of either backing up PagEd tables or all tables in your CMS installation. Backups can be stored as text files in the PagEd/backups folder, and/or sent to a specified mail address, configurable in Module Settings.. CommentsA separate module exists to add comment functionality to PagEd. If you want to give users/guests the ability to comment PagEd content, download the EZComments module from http://postnuke.lottasophie.de. Place in modules folder, initiate/activate. You will NOT see any module icon for EZComments. To enable comments in PagEd, go to your eNvolution admin panel/modules, scroll to PagEd, select "Edit" and check the "Activate ezcomments for this module" box. Full page display of PagEd articles will now be followed by a comment field. Comments are not stored in PagEd tables, but in the EZComments table.
Advanced Search Block supportPagEd now supports the Advanced Search Block from
http://warpspeed.4thdimension.de/index.php.
This block is created and configured in eNvolution admin/blocks.
Addon for pnTresMailer news letter modulePagEd now supports the news letter module pnTresMailer, also downloadable from from
http://canvas.anubix.net. To add PagEd functionality to this module, get the addon script from Downloads/PagEd/Addons. Place in html/modules/pnTresMailer/modules folder.
Photoshare supportPhotoshare, Jørn Lind-Nielsens photo handling module, offers support for letting other modules browse it`s images. PagEd tries do complete this friendship by adding the necessary browsing code. RSS backend file for news syndicationPagEd now comes with a backend file for news syndication. If you are running PagEd with the news block on site A and would like the news displayed also on site B, create an RSS block in eNvolution admin/Blocks on site B, and enter the URL http://siteA/pagedbackend.php. Place the block wherever you like.
Known issues- The permission system in PagEd has been improved and made more fine grained, but access according to set permissions may still be buggy. This is one of the main issues to report in forum, if you find bugs! Check for updatesThe PagEd control panel now has a "Check for updates" button which will open up a popup window with the latest information on 0.93. Click this button from time to time to keep updated!
ForumA forum for PagEd is up and running at PagEd web site . Have a look!
Crisis and PHP-infoIf you experience a serious error with PagEd, you can access a support form from the Control Panel/Bugs and info section, or via a link at the PagEd site. However, please use this option with restraint, as support time is limited. For most problems, the forum will give you faster feedback. CreditsThanks to all for support and suggestions so far! Keep them coming. So many have contributed in the past, that for fear of forgetting someone, I will only thank you all. And thanks to Mr. Herald of EZCMS for laying the work this module is based on.
