Re: Subsites bug? recent check-in by sharvey

RichardH — Tue, 22 May 2012 02:35:21 +1200

the bug described in the original post here is the same problem i am now facing but in SS 2.4.7 where the offending code in sapphire\core\model\SiteTree.php has already been replaced.

Can anyone please help? I can find no other reason why my CMS admin falls over when the subsites module is installed.

Re: problems installing Subsites module with SilverStripe 2.4.7

RichardH — Mon, 21 May 2012 21:54:14 +1200

my first post dealt only with getting the Subsites module installed on the localhost.

trying to get it to work on my live server has been another kettle of fish. Namely that I can run dev/build and create the necessary tables, etc. but then am totally unable to access the CMS for my site, even though I am already logged in. I have also cleared the cache, but it doesn't result in anything.

Instead I just keep getting a 500 error that suggests me to reload the page later, or that there is something wrong with the configuration of my website. If I uninstall the Subsites module, dev/build, flush the cache then everything works again.

Hey Guys,
Just wondering is there any improvement or updates on the SilverStripe Comments Module for SilverStripe 3+?

the module installs properly but having to delete the comment/s or report as spam doesn't work and the action is identified as a page in a way and the action doesnt go through.

comments do submit and post but the links don't work properly for admin and so forth

problems installing Subsites module with SilverStripe 2.4.7

RichardH — Mon, 21 May 2012 17:38:16 +1200

Dear all
this is a note for all of you experiencing extreme frustrations with installing the Subsites module. I have now spent 2.5 mostly fruitless days on this, before discovering the following remedies are necessary. There have been some seemingly helpful suggestions on this forum dating back 2 years or so, but in the end those remedies did not work for me. Here is a summary of what I have found to work for the localhost

1. the genericdataadmin module may or may not be needed?
2. don't use the Subsites module download marked as latest release Date: 2009-10-01
3. instead - notwithstanding the general notes that it is a preview, may contain bugs, etc. - use the latest Master Build. The version I ended up downloading is dated 2012-03-31
4. extract the Subsites to your root folder. Make sure that the Subsites module does get extracted to a subfolder here! Mine didn't despite following the same extraction method I always use, so I had to quickly locate the folders and files and move them to a new folder called subsites, hoping in the meantime that no other file had been overwritten.
5. go to \sapphire\forms\ folder and find the CheckboxSetField.php file. You will need to then locate the following text at around line 114

if ($source == null) {
$source = array();
$options = "<li>No options available</li>";

and delete the extra = which will otherwise throw an error when you follow the installation instructions at https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-subsites

I have messed around with trying to get this module to install properly for so long, I am no longer sure if any other changes that I made earlier are necessary (

Good luck!

Found one more problem after successfully getting the module installed on the localhost. I made some mistakes in creating subsites but couldn't search for/delete them.
please see the following post on the problem that is reported. This has worked for me. http://www.silverstripe.org/customising-the-cms/show/16060#post308730

Mulltiple Event Calendars? (cheese?)

nekranox — Fri, 18 May 2012 22:44:45 +1200

Hey guys,

I've got two websites mirrored in my site tree. Each website/branch has an events calendar and a HomePage class which pulls into a summary of events using:

DataObject::get_one("Calendar")->upcomingEvents(5);

However, both pages are displaying the events from the first calendar I created. I've tried following the code through to see if I can't put a ParendID=$this->ID somewhere or somthing of the sort but I'm really struggling. Can someone set me on the right path?

Regards,

Robbie

public function onBeforeDelete(){
//remove your zip folder

}

class Project extends DataObject {

static $has_one = array('myFile' =>'MyFile');

//you can then use DataObjectManager or ModelAdmin to manage project class

Re: Add dynamic sites to Google Sitemap?

Willr — Sun, 13 May 2012 18:50:36 +1200

Bereusei, no the module supports 2.4 with the 0.2 branch (http://www.silverstripe.org/google-sitemaps-module/)

It's quite a simple template, I would debug

public function AbsoluteLink() {
$url = Director::absoluteURL($this->Link());
var_dump($url);

return $url;
}

You should see all your urls. If that happens and the XML source still doesn't have it then try with a ?flush - site.com/sitemap.xml?flush=1. If you don't get a list of URL's then your object hasn't been registered.

$urls[] = $this->Link();

Perhaps try AbsoluteLink rather than link? If you look at the base tag in that HTML generated does it match your sites domain?

StaticPublisher giving out only Page Not Found pages

ronaan — Wed, 09 May 2012 21:56:19 +1200

Hello everyone,

since Silverstripe is holding our ISO9001 documentation, our QM requested to have a static copy of the site on hand.

So after some looking, I stumbled across Staticpublisher. Took some looking around, but in the end I got it to run without error messages. The list I get when I do a /mysite/dev/buildcache/?flush=1 looks exactly like my sitemap,

but

every page has the same contents - the default "Page not found" page.

What did I do wrong?

I did add this code to page.php:

// page classes for static publisher added by t

/**
* Return a list of all the pages to cache
*/
function allPagesToCache() {
// Get each page type to define its sub-urls
$urls = array();

// memory intensive depending on number of pages
$pages = DataObject::get("Page");

foreach($pages as $page) {
$urls = array_merge($urls, (array)$page->subPagesToCache());
}

// add any custom URLs which are not SiteTree instances
$urls[] = "sitemap.xml";

return $urls;
}

/**
* Get a list of URLs to cache related to this page
*/
function subPagesToCache() {
$urls = array();

// add current page
$urls[] = $this->Link();

// cache the RSS feed if comments are enabled
if ($this->ProvideComments) {
$urls[] = Director::absoluteBaseURL() . "pagecomment/rss/" . $this->ID;
}

return $urls;
}

function pagesAffectedByChanges() {
$urls = $this->subPagesToCache();
if($p = $this->Parent) $urls = array_merge((array)$urls, (array)$p->subPagesToCache());
return $urls;
}

I also modified .htaccess like this:

### SILVERSTRIPE START ###
<Files *.ss>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Files>

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

## CONFIG FOR TEST/LIVE ENVIRONMENTS

# Cached content - live webserver
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^GET$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /(.*[^/])/?$
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/cache/%1.html -f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule .* /cache/%1.html [L]

# Cached content - homepage
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^GET$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/?$
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/cache/index.html -f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule .* /cache/index.html [L]

### Dynamic ###
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.gif$)|(\.jpg$)|(\.png$)|(\.css$)|(\.js$)|(\.php$)

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule .* sapphire/main.php?url=%1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
</IfModule>
### SILVERSTRIPE END ###

and I added to _config.php

// StaticPublisher
Object::add_extension("SiteTree", "FilesystemPublisher('cache/', 'html')");

Where did I take a wrong turn?

In the end, it's only 86 pages so I could basically print everyone to pdfcreator once a year but... why bother when there's a really smooth solution available, right?

Thanks in advance for any comments.

Event Registration for Event Calendar

Mejoo — Wed, 09 May 2012 17:47:30 +1200

Hi everyone

I have looked at the unclecheese tutorial " Thanks unclecheese for your tutorial" at the following link:
http://www.leftandmain.com/silverstripe-tutorials/2010/08/26/creating-an-event-registration-form-for-event-calendar/

And I was able to build Registration system for Trips. However, I tried to move the Registration tap to be on the event "Trips" instead of the TripsHolder. But I am facing some problem with, registrationLink I think!

Here what I have change from unclecheese approach:

I moved all the functions from the TripHolder “ConferenceHolder” Controller to Trip “Conference” Controller.

And to get the Registration for the current Trip I did:

public function getCMSFields() {
$f = parent::getCMSFields();
$f->addFieldToTab(‘Root.Content.Main’, new TextField(‘Location’,_t(‘Trip.LOCATION’,'The Trip Location’)), ‘Content’);
$f->addFieldToTab(“Root.Content.Main”, new CurrencyField(‘Cost’,_t(‘Trip.COST’,'Trip Cost’)),’Content’);

$f->addFieldToTab(“Root.Content.Registration”, new DataObjectManager(
$this,
‘Registration’,
‘TripRegistration’,
array(
‘Name’ => ‘Name’,
‘Email’ => ‘Email’,
‘Mobile’ => ‘Mobile’
),’getCMSfields_forPopup’,
“‘TripID’ = ‘{$this->ID}’”
));
return $f;
}

But it seems there is something wrong. I’m not getting the right registration link:

I change RegisterLink function to:

public function RegisterLink() {
return $this->Trip()->Link(“register”).”?DateID=$this->ID”;
}

Please Please Please Help me with that.

Yep - in Core.php it looks through

$envFiles = array('_ss_environment.php', '../_ss_environment.php', '../../_ss_environment.php', '../../../_ss_environment.php');

ie each parent folder. Once it finds it defined somewhere, it stops looking.

Awesome! I should have actually had the info about logging the cron stuff earlier - that would have indicated that the import was going earlier

For the _ss_environment.php file, I normally put mine in the webroot with something like

<?php

global $_FILE_TO_URL_MAPPING;
$_FILE_TO_URL_MAPPING[dirname(__FILE__)] = 'http://site.url.com';

While you can put it in parent folders, if you're like me and have multiple projects in a subfolder, this ends up causing conflicts, so I always put the _ss_env file in the webroot.

Hi @Marcus, thanks again for your replies.

AUTOMATED IMPORT IS NOW WORKING!

Feel like a simpleton instead of a singleton. I took a closer look at my code, and I had some OnAfterWrite() logic in the ExternalBlogEntry class which, in combination with my duplicate strategy set to "Skip," was simply causing nothing to be imported (and therefore published) because there was nothing new to import! Haha. As soon as somebody tweeted again, a half an hour later, voila it was there on the site.

A note: the _ss_environment.php file is hugely important. Discovered after the above problem was fixed that, if you don't set the $_FILE_TO_URL_MAPPING, everything that gets published, on a site using the file system publisher anyway, will be a 404. Probably should add this to the documentation.

Regarding this config file, where should it live? I couldn't decide so I put it in BOTH my apache user's home directory AND in the webroot. The links are working now so I know one of them is working, but.... which one is it? Which _ss_environment.php can I remove? Don't want to confuse any future maintaining developers.

I can't thank you enough for your ongoing attention in this matter. I learned a lot about this very powerful suite of modules.

function getCMSFields(){
$fields = new FieldSet(

                        $tabMain = new Tab('Main',

Hi Willr,

how can I define the AbsoluteLink method? I´ve tried to add:
public function AbsoluteLink() {
return Director::absoluteURL($this->Link());
}
to my datadobject class, but this has no effect.

I´ve added: public static $google_sitemap_dataobjects = array('Product'); to the GoogleSitemap.php
and I´ve added GoogleSiteMap::register_dataobject('Product'); to my _config.

It still doesn´t work. I´ve tried your module (https://github.com/silverstripe-labs/silverstripe-googlesitemaps) again, but probably it´s only for Silverstripe 3.0.

Re: Queued Jobs / RSS Connector Help

Marcus — Mon, 07 May 2012 14:58:32 +1200

A guy at work had something come up that sounded very similar to this problem, it might be relevant?

What was happening was that the CLI version of PHP had a different timezone set to the apache module version of PHP. This meant that when the CLI script ran looking for jobs, the 'current' time as figured by PHP was several hours behind what it should have been (ie if local time was 11am, the cli php thought it was 3am), meaning the jobs weren't ever being picked up until 8 hours after they should have been.

A couple things to do to check (from the command line)

1) php -i | grep timezone (to see what timezone is set)
2) double check that `php -r "echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s');"` matches what `date` returns on the commandline
3) Make sure that `php -r "echo date('e');"` matches what the timezone set in (1) is

Separate to that, in your crontab, you can add >> ~/cron.log to log all the cron executions, to see what is actually happening each time the crontab is executed.

So you end up with

*/1 * * * * php /Users/gfisher/Sites/horn/horn/sapphire/cli-script.php dev/tasks/ProcessJobQueueTask queue=2 >> ~/silverstripe-cron.log

This will log the result of the job queue processor each time it is called by cron (or show you any errors that might be preventing it executing...).

Lastly, check your syslog file (/var/log/syslog or similar) to see if cron's reporting any errors

Hi Cuba,
your take on multilingual is exactly what i was looking for - great! Alas: I don't seem to be able to get my Dataobjects translated. I suspect that i am missing something very basic here but, being a SS-Newbie, i just can't figure out what it is...

class NewsItem extends MultilingualDataObject {
static $db = array('Headline' => 'Varchar', 'Content' => 'HTMLText');
static $multilingual_fields = array('Headline', 'Content');

   function getCMSFields_forPopup() {
      $fields = new FieldSet();
      $fields->push(new TextField('Headline','Headline'));
      $fields->push(new SimpleTinyMCEField('Content','Content',10));
      return $fields;
   }

I expected this to give me a LangSelector in the Popup - which it does not...
Any hints to get me going in the right direction?

Greetings,
mats

Hi SS community,

I'm trying to find out if there is any solution for pushing news data out to twitter and facebook automatically upon creation of said content?

I've found this: http://www.silverstripeclub.com/products/silverstripe-modules/social-share-silverstripe-module/

Has anyone used this social share module? I'm interested in finding out whether it can work with dataobjectmanager? The content i'm wanting to share isn't page content.

If not, I'm searching for alternative solutions. Let me know if you have any suggestions. Really only interested in pushing to FB / Twitter.

Yes, Jobtype is 2.

...as you predicted. When I run this:

/Users/gfisher/Sites/horn/horn/sapphire/cli-script.php dev/tasks/ProcessJobQueueTask list=1

I get:

But we're kind of going in circles here. Let me take you through exactly what I have done.

1.) On External Content tab, I created an RssContentSource using a valid RSS feed. This content source populates in the interface without issue.
2.) Went to the Import tab. Selected my target BlogHolder. Selected "Skip" for Duplicate Strategy. Selected 15 mins.for repeat interval.
3.) Clicked "Save"
4.) No new job is created in Jobs tab. This seems wrong.
5.) Clicked "Start Importing". (New items are imported successfully -- initially.)
6.) Job IS created in Jobs tab. Seems that you must perform an initial import to get the job into the database. "Start After" on the job I just created says datetime 15 minutes later than the "Added" datetime. This is obviously correct.
7.) The "Start After" time comes and goes, and nothing is ever imported again.
8.) Anytime I click the gear icon, the import fires.

My crontab file is exactly as you've prescribed. I can't figure out why this isn't running on its own.

Do your dataobjects have AbsoluteLink methods defined? See the tests for an example https://github.com/silverstripe-labs/silverstripe-googlesitemaps/blob/master/tests/GoogleSitemapTest.php#L98

Not at all. The jobs in the UI is just a list of items in the DB. The crontab entries are just there to run a script that will execute those jobs one by one. The separate crontab entries exist to process different queues (don't worry about the specifics of that, other than you should have the two crontab entries I mentioned in my previous post). Nothing you put in the crontab appears in the UI, or vice versa. Effectively, a job only gets executed when the "ProcessJobQueueTask" script is run, and this script is executed by cron every minute.

Is the "Job Type" field for the job 2 (it should be, as that's the default). That means that the job is in the queue '2'. If you then execute the following script from the command line, what output do you get?

php /Users/gfisher/Sites/horn/horn/sapphire/cli-script.php dev/tasks/ProcessJobQueueTask queue=2

It should be something like

Running task 'ProcessJobQueueTask'...

[2012-05-04 14:44:37] Processing queue 2
[2012-05-04 14:44:37] No new jobs

(or it will mention processing the job if that's the case)

The other thing you can do is

php /Users/gfisher/Sites/horn/horn/sapphire/cli-script.php dev/tasks/ProcessJobQueueTask list=1

which will list out all the jobs (regardless of when they're going to execute) currently in the job queues. The output will be something like

Running task 'ProcessJobQueueTask'...

[2012-05-04 14:48:05] Processing queue 2
[2012-05-04 14:48:05] Found 0 jobs for mode 1
[2012-05-04 14:48:05] Found 6 jobs for mode 2
[2012-05-04 14:48:05] Found 4 jobs for mode 3

Are you saying that the Queued Jobs UI will show the job based on what you have in your crontab file? I thought I had to create the job in the UI and that the crontab just executes it.

Well, on the jobs tab under queued it says the job is scheduled to run at 10:03PM, which is exactly 15 minutes after I ran the job manually by clicking on the gear icon. 10:03PM came and went and the queue still says the job is going to start at 10:03. It's like the crontab has nothing to do with it. And I don't know of any way to "reset" this job without either running it manually again or by deleting it and recreating it.

*/1 * * * * php /Users/gfisher/Sites/horn/horn/sapphire/cli-script.php dev/tasks/ProcessJobQueueTask queue=2
*/15 * * * * php /Users/gfisher/Sites/horn/horn/sapphire/cli-script.php dev/tasks/ProcessJobQueueTask queue=3

...is how it is now. Why is the first one 1 minute and the second one 15? I'm sorry Marcus, I'm just finding this confusing.

The relationship between the Jobs list and the crontab entry is that each job in the list will be executed in the order they are added to the queue, except if they're given a date in the future to execute at. So the crontab entry is basically saying 'every minute, check if there are any jobs on the queue that can be executed now'.

What time is the job set to run at (the Start After field in the table)? If this is still in the future, the ProcessJobQueueTask will ignore it until that date/time is reached.

Also, for your cron you should have it set to execute both queue=2 and queue=3, like the following. The "Job Type" column in the Jobs tab will indicate which queue the job has been placed on.

Thanks for all the help.

My crontab is working, as the test-cron file is being created and written.

The job also worked when I executed the command from the terminal.

I guess I just don't get the relationship between what I see in queued jobs and what is in my crontab file. Do they work with each other? What is the point of the queued jobs module/UI if it doesn't actually write the job/command to the crontab file? If I say I want it to run every 15 mins in the UI and then I have */60 in my crontab, which will happen?

I am assuming that the command in the crontab simply runs WHATEVER is queued and the the queued jobs module is simply a place to create the jobs. Yes? But the interval time conflict confuses me. And then we can get back to why this isn't executing.

This is what I've got now:

*/15 * * * * php /Users/gfisher/Sites/horn/horn/sapphire/cli-script.php dev/tasks/ProcessJobQueueTask queue=3

The queuedjobs module has multiple separate queues that jobs can be created in; shorthand for these at the moment is simply 1, 2 or 3. The idea being that jobs that just need running asap are put in 1, some that can be deferred a little bit put in 2, or those that it doesn't matter when they're run are put in 3. By default it should actually process 2, but to make the crontab clearer, I normally explicitly add queue=2

(if you're going to use the queuedjobs module, you're probably best adding in another entry like

*/10 * * * * php /Users/gfisher/Sites/horn/horn/sapphire/cli-script.php dev/tasks/ProcessJobQueueTask queue=3

to trigger any long jobs that get created)

From the sounds of things either the cronjob isn't firing, or it is and something is failing before picking up the queue. A couple of things you can do

1) Make sure your PHP binary is the cli (it should be, but some systems can be a bit weird with it)

$ php -v

should show something like the following - the (cli) bit is the important part

PHP 5.3.5-1ubuntu7 with Suhosin-Patch (cli)

2) Try executing the task from the commandline manually - just run

$ php /Users/gfisher/Sites/horn/horn/sapphire/cli-script.php dev/tasks/ProcessJobQueueTask queue=2

That should produce output like

Running task 'ProcessJobQueueTask'...

[2012-05-04 11:25:39] Processing queue 2
[2012-05-04 11:25:39] No new jobs

If that works, then the crontab isn't executing properly. You could try something simple like

*/1 * * * * echo "test" >> ~/test-cron

which should output stuff to a test-cron file in your homedir

This is my crontab file:

*/1 * * * * php /Users/gfisher/Sites/horn/horn/sapphire/cli-script.php dev/tasks/ProcessJobQueueTask

This is the correct full path. I am on Mac OSX. I'm not sure what the "queue=2" bit in your example is. Does this crontab file need to be in any certain place in the directory structure?? I issued:

$ crontab -e

And I'm not sure where the file got created..... Ok, so after I executed the job using the gear icon, it ran. Yay! Then the next time to run showed up in the queue, exactly 15 minutes later, which was the interval I chose. Yay! And then when that time rolled around, again nothing happened. Boo! What am I doing wrong or not understanding here?

Thanks for your continued attention on this, Marcus.

What does your crontab look like?

You should have a cronjob doing something like

*/1 * * * * php sapphire/cli-script.php dev/tasks/ProcessJobQueueTask queue=2

to actually execute the job.

To test that the job actually works, you can manually execute the job by clicking the gear icon

Hi Marcus,

My very sincere thanks for your reply. This is *exactly* what I need -- the ability to schedule a job! I cloned the git project and popped the new code into my external-content module and voila, the dropdown to choose the schedule is there.

So I tried it, and here's the deal.

If I do NOT choose to repeat the task, it works. If I set any value in the "Repeat import each" field, nothing is imported. It does show up on Jobs tab under "Queued," but nothing ever updates. It just sits there.

Can you, first, think of anything that could be causing it not to execute on its own, and second, think of a good way to debug this?

Thanks again,
Garrett

He guys,

I have the same problem than danzzz. I generate pages from dataobjects and I need a sitemap-module that add this pages to sitemap.xml and works on Silverstripe 2.4.7.
The link from Willr (https://github.com/silverstripe-labs/silverstripe-googlesitemaps) only contains a module that requires Silverstripe 3.0

Is there somewhere a module for 2.4.7?

There's a couple of ways to make this happen - one of which should actually be possible now that I've committed the scheduled import job (oops!). If you can, grab the latest source from https://github.com/nyeholt/silverstripe-external-content, which should now have a ScheduledExternalImportJob class in it. Once you have the latest, when you go to the 'Import' tab of the external content source/item, you should have the option to choose an import schedule; this will automatically create the queued job for you

An alternative is to create your own QueuedJob which read data from the external connector and trigger importing appropriately. When I do these types of recurring jobs, I have something at the end of the 'process()' method that does something like

$delay = 3600; // how many seconds before executing the job the next time
$job = new MyJob();
singleton('QueuedJobService')->queueJob($job, date('Y-m-d H:i:s', time() + $delay));

You can create jobs by using a task; dev/tasks/CreateQueuedJobTask?name=(job name)

Hope that helps!

YoutubeService Module homepage control

Chilli-D — Tue, 01 May 2012 01:19:20 +1200

Can someone please tell me if its possible to show the first video from the list generated in my YoutubeService page? i have tried using <% control YoutubeVideos %>, as the function in the module would suggest, but to no avail.

Is this due to the module looking up the information when the page is called?

Thanks

SOLVED: I think the coffee messed with my brain - All I needed was a page control! <% control Page(Videos) %>
