OCS Plugin: Static Pages

[jalperin]

nageswaran,

You have to execute the database schema to install the tables. Please see the README included with the plugin or this thread on details of how to do this.

Hi Juan,

sorry for the late reply, I was away.

I'm following the standard procedure for adding a static page.
Conference Manager -> System Plugins -> Generic Plugins -> Static Pages -> Edit / Add Content

from here 'Add new page'. I add the pafe content (plain text), fill in all the required fields, and save. I get no error message, but when I go back to the plugin page I can't see the page I just added. I only get the 'No pages have been created' line. The two tables in the database also remain empty.

I can't notice anything patently strange going on. The only weird thing is maybe that at the bottom of the TinyMCE editor textfield there is a line saying "Path: p".

What do you advise?

Thanks again,
Borgher

borgher,

Not sure what might be happening. Could you give me a more detailed description on the steps you've taken to create a new page? Are you receiving any errors?

[jalperin]

Borgher,

if you're running a test site, you could try turning on the database debug information in config.inc.php. You wouldn't want to do this on a live site, as it outputs a lot of text on the screen.

Then see if there is an "INSERT INTO static_pages" line somewhere in the debug information. Try to execute that same statement (copy/paste) directly into your DB and see if it outputs an error.

Good luck,

[witchie]

Many thanks on Your beautifull work!

In order to thank you I am attaching the translation file in this post.

Hi,

Thanks for the plug-in; however, we have the same problem as Borgher.
I get the following when I set the debug option and try to save a static page:

As you see there is no "INSERT INTO static_pages" or something similar.

Many thanks in advance.

Sener and Borgher,

Not sure what's happening in your installs. If you'd like to PM me a username/password for a journal manager account, I can have a look and see if I can figure it out.

[sener]

Sure, Dear Jalperin, I am sending now.

We have tried to trace out what is happening. Not sure about the cause, but here are the observations we have got:
- It seems, somehow, that the "save" button does not call the "save" operation of the static pages plug-in.
- It works when we set "disable_path_info = Off" in config.inc.php, but then we get infinite redirect error (I think, due to our web server).

Thanks for your interest.

Hi again,
I think we have solved it: It is due to a conflict between the "path" field of the StaticPages form and the "path" parameter used when disable_path_info = On.

Is there a way of stopping the TinyMCE editor re-writing URLs when you save static pages?

I'm setting up help pages with this tool (which btw, i think is really useful!)

...but ... when I add a link:

Code: Select all

http://ojs.e-contentmanagement.com/index.php/train/pages/view/section_editor_guide_part1

it gets re-written to

Code: Select all

../../../index.php/train/pages/view/section_editor_guide_part1

and when gets served, the relative link resolves as:

Code: Select all

http://ojs.e-contentmanagement.com/index.php/index.php/train/pages/view/section_editor_guide_part1

which of course borks and the server displays the home page for journal site instead of my help content.

I'm going thru the plugin files to see if I can turn URL re-writing off but any assistance/pointers would be welcome.

Am using OJS 2.2.3, StaticPages 1.1, shared hosting box is a linux box of some flavour.


edit 1: in the short term (e.g. quick-n-dirty fix), i'll go in and change the database content using PHPMyAdmin.

edit 2: I thought I was repeating myself ... and i was <http://pkp.sfu.ca/support/forum/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=3437&start=15#p18737> tho in that other thread, i thought it was just image URLs that were being re-written.

Charles

Hi Charles,

Just verified this and posted a bug report: http://pkp.sfu.ca/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4690. There's a fix listed there as well, although perhaps a bit obtuse. You should be able to fix the path problem by opening plugings/generic/staticPages/StaticPagesEditForm.inc.php, and adding

Code: Select all

relative_urls : false,

To the TinyMCE script code. In the OJS CVS version of this page, the script starts on line 99, and I think the above line of code can be added almost anywhere within that code block (although I added it just after "mode : textareas,").

This should be fixed in upcoming versions of OCS and OJS. Let us know if you're still having problems!

Cheers,
James

Hi,
Once the pages are created, how can we create a menu link to the page?
For example, the page i created is for 'Accommodation' and would like to put this in a menu somewhere.

[jmacgreg]

Hi ddhoray,

You can add items to the menu bar in Website Management Step 3.

Cheers,
James

Hello!

Since I upgraded my OCS from 2.1.1.2 to 2.3.3.1 my static pages plugin is not working.

I can access the plugin webpage, create and edit static pages. But, when I try to view the page I have created, the OCS returns the following error:

Fatal error: import() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'core/Handler.inc.php' (include_path='.:/home/cbce/public_html/congressos/classes:/home/cbce/public_html/congressos/pages:/home/cbce/public_html/congressos/lib/pkp:/home/cbce/public_html/congressos/lib/pkp/includes:/home/cbce/public_html/congressos/lib/pkp/classes:/home/cbce/public_html/congressos/lib/pkp/pages:/home/cbce/public_html/congressos/lib/pkp/lib/adodb:/home/cbce/public_html/congressos/lib/pkp/lib/phputf8:/home/cbce/public_html/congressos/lib/pkp/lib/pqp/classes:/home/cbce/public_html/congressos/lib/pkp/lib/smarty:.:/usr/share/pear') in /home/cbce/public_html/congressos/lib/pkp/includes/functions.inc.php on line 25

Does anyone know what is happening? Does staticPages works on OxS 2.3 versions?

[mcrider]

Hi mendesrocha,

Are you using the same plugin as posted on this forum thread? The error you're getting implies you're trying to use old code (the Handler file has been moved to the classes/handler/ directory). The static pages plugin now ships with OCS and should work with your 2.3.3.1 release. I suggest downloading an official copy of OCS and replacing the static pages plugin you have in your current OCS install with the official version.

Cheers,
Matt

[mendesrocha]

Hi Matt,

Thanks for the tip.

Indeed, the staticPage weren't patched during the upgrade, since I found lots of .orig and .rej files in the directory.

I just moved an original folder to my installation and it is working.

Thank's again!
