Hello Community,

I've just released Coco_XH 1beta1. It's available from my website.

The most important changes:
  • Co-contents can be searched
  • Backups are created on logout
  • added German manual
  • postponed implementation of several alternative uses of Coco_XH to version 2 in order to reach a stable version 1 ASAP
Any further feedback is welcome, particularly about bugs and problems.

Hello Community,

I've just released Coco_XH 1rc2.

I've fixed a bug, where the co-content for the last CMSimple page was purged when saving another co-content, and another bug, where <h1>-<h3> in the co-content were not properly handled.

Hello Community,

I've just released Coco_XH 1rc3.

Besides fixing a bug where the search functionality did not work on PHP 4, and some further improvements, I made it compatible with CMSimple_XH 1.6.

Enjoy,
Christoph

Hello Community,

I have just released Coco_XH 1.0.

I have made the new release somewhat more consistent with CMSimple_XH 1.6 (thanks to manu for the suggestion regarding the backup messages), and I've added CSRF protection (requires CMSimple_XH 1.6+).

Enjoy,
Christoph

I discover this plugin this morning (Thanks Tata) and it looks great to me! I wanted to shout out loud here that this should be a plugin in the download package by default but.....
I did try it out now, works great but only shows on the 'Home' page.

I added this in the footer of my template:

Code: Select all

		<tr>
			<td align="left" valign="top" width="401" class="footer"><br><?php echo coco('footer_links');?></td>
			<td align="left" valign="top" width="351" class="footer"><br><h4>Menu</h4><br><?php echo toc();?><br></td>
            <td align="left" valign="top" width="301" class="footer"><br><?php echo coco('footer_right');?></td>
            
		</tr>
As you can see here it works only on the Home page :cry:

Wait a second........ now i do understand !! :D
You have to edit the boxes on each page....... very handy tool!!!
But shouldn't it be handy if you can make a setting in the config that the content should be copied to all pages???

In this case I would suggest to use a simple newsbox() call in the template, instead of Coco_XH.

Yep, that works most fast and easy..... for us...
But for website owners it is sometimes hard to explain to them how a newsbox works. I thought Coco would more easy to understand.

IMHO:
It is easier for user to relay on working newsboxes. As he only needs standardly edit a hidden page once a time. Using Coco, he needs to edit each box separately.

It's no shame to ask for an answer if all efforts failed.
But it's awful to ask without any effort to find the answer yourself.
