Using In-Line Editor?

victorhooi — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 05:24:51 -0400

Hi,

It mentions under Features (http://locomotivecms.com/features) that there is in-line editing in Locomotive using Aloha Editor.

However, how exactly do you enable this?

I tried adding the tag "{% inline_editor %}" to the end of my page template, and it doesn't seem to change anything?

Are there more detailed steps required for this? I'm assuming I omitted a step somewhere...lol.

Cheers,
Victor

Is it possible to install on Windows? More specifically Windows 7 with IIS 7.5?

can't delete a secondary account

zoso — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 09:06:38 -0400

I added a test author account. it appears in the list of accounts. I then select the garbage pail associated with it. it disappears from the list. I save the changes. The entire page refreshes and it says the save was successful. However, my previously deleted test author account is back when it should not be.

Model and Templatised page clarifications

karloakes — Sun, 08 Apr 2012 13:20:07 -0400

I have setup a has_many model relationship and I am using a templatised page to display the model and it's related belongs_to models, but I'm struggling with a few concepts :

1. Can I use the editable tags to edit the model data, if not, can I only use the page content type?
2. Can I display a templatised page using the nav tag ?
3. In the templatised page, when I add a for loop into my template to iterate the model and add editable content tags, it then displays them as inputs in the back office templatised page, which are not related to the model or has_many models I have created.

I must be getting confused with the 'templatised' option and therefore would appreciate some advice.

Saved a Model and Corrupted Mongo Data

dcunited001 — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 05:41:12 -0400

So I created a Blogs model and everything was ok. Then I added a few other models, including projects. And everything was ok. And then I added a project and everything was ok.

And then I added a blog and now I can't access anything related to the blogs. The truncate is pointing to a date and I had added a 'write_date' field to my Blogs model. And this is what I was ordering on originally, even though there are the created_at and updated_at fields.

Should I just nuke all my blogs and start over? or will I be worse off then I was. I'm just getting everything set up, but I really don't want to have to start over. I didn't really expect this, so I didn't take a backup of clean data.

I saw that other models had the order_by_text set to "By updating date" and "name", so I tried manually changing this one field on my Blog models, but to no avail.

Is there anything I can do?

S3 Problems: Fog 1.1.2, Excon: unable to verify certificate

dcunited001 — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 03:12:08 -0400

Hey i'm working with S3 in production. I have all my S3 vars set for carrierwave.

Unfortunately, I'm getting an error when trying to upload files. The excon gem is throwing an error deep in the stack. Unless I'm have something wrong in my stack, this is a bug addressed with an upgrade of Fog. It's addressed in the following Github issue.

https://github.com/fog/fog/issues/789

The locomotive bundle has Fog locked at 1.1.2, so I'm having a hard time upgrading to Fog 1.2 or 1.3. I'm moving to local storage for now.

Any advice?

Thanks,
David

DEVISE] Please note that Mongoid versions prior to 2.1 handle dirty model object attributes in such a way that the Devise `validatable` module will not apply its usual uniqueness and format validations for the email field. It is recommended that you upgrade to Mongoid 2.1+ for this and other fixes, but if for some reason you are unable to do so, you should add these validations manually.

Production App On Heroku

I have an app that needs to go live on heroku. I have it operating on the local environment at my office.

Extending Locomotive

w0lver — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 13:09:11 -0400

So I'm trying to use the engine to power a user-driven content site. I have two questions that I haven't be able to figure out yet.

1) How can you use RnR syntax on pages? I've tried just <% ... %> and it treats them as literals. I also tried a Raw block and the page will not save. Is the Liquid Raw tag not supported?

2) What's the best way to create additional feature functions? Is it to keep the views within the existing framework or to use the app directory and typical MVC development. And if I do the latter, how to I access things like Locomotive models, Liquid, etc.

Thanks!
Ross

Support for Multiple Languages?

victorhooi — Mon, 19 Mar 2012 01:45:31 -0400

Hi,

I'm looking at setting up a CMS soon, and one of our requirements was for multiple language support.

Is there any support for multiple languages within Locomotive?

I did a search on the forums and all I could find was this:

http://locomotive.cl0.vanillaforums.com/discussion/comment/175

However, there doesn't seem to be an updates on the issue since then?

Cheers,
Victor

Render mobile CSS

cornflex — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 14:54:18 -0400

Hey there,
I want to show the exact same website to mobile clients with just a different stylesheet applied. Any ideas?
I added some lines to the application controller, defining that it should check the UA agent and depending on that redirect to either the normal view (application.html.erb) or a mobile view. The views only include different stylesheets and <%= yield %> in the body. This doesn't work, as locomotive renders the liquid templates which include the head etc. themselves. Any advice on this and how I could make it work?

Thanks in advance!

Unknown Error 500 Cause of ActionView::Template::Error

cornflex — Sat, 17 Mar 2012 11:01:57 -0400

Hey there,
I'm not sure if you can help me.
My plan was to add a gallery feature and I added some stylsheets and scripts to one of my pages (child of home page). I remembered I shouldn't add stylesheets and scripts in the middle of the page and therefore wanted to create blocks for additional styles and additional scripts in the home page's template.
I added {% block additonal_styles %}{% endblock %} and the same for scripts to the home page template. (I think I didn't change anything else.)
Afterwards I could no longer edit any pages which were children of the home page (which were all of them except for the 404 and the home page itself). Instead of loading the edit page it now shows an error. Checking the production log I find the message at the end of this post.

I hope I'm not asking this question too hastily, but I can't seem to find the cause of this error. I was hoping one of you could point me in the right direction to look for errors. Anybody ideas as to which file is causing this?

What I've tried so far:
I've checked the home page for syntax errors and remove the two lines I had added before, but it still doesn't solve it.
I removed the JS and CSS files for the gallery (I can't remove the references to them in the body of the child page because I can't edit it anymore).

I can attach more info on your request.

Thanks in advance!
Desperately,
cornflex

Multi sites on localhost

cameroooon — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 19:20:57 -0500

Hi guys,

I'm trying to set up multi sites on localhost, but can't seem to get anything other than 'No Site!'.

My locomotive.rb file has:

 config.multi_sites do |multi_sites|
    multi_sites.domain = 'localhost:8080'
    multi_sites.reserved_subdomains = %w(site1 site2)
  end

and I've adjusted my hosts file to include:

127.0.0.1   localhost
127.0.0.1    site1.localhost
127.0.0.1    site2.localhost

I then restarted locomotive. But now if I go to any of:

localhost:8080/
site1.localhost:8080/
site2.localhost:8080/

...I just see "No Site!"

Is there something I'm missing?
(I'm a noob developing on a Mac running OSX 10.6.8, Rails 3.0.10 & Ruby 1.9.2p290)

[noob]URL for nested model

kilik — Tue, 06 Mar 2012 14:42:03 -0500

First, thanks for LocomotiveCMS, I just discovered it and it's exactly what I was looking for : easy to use, and amazingly powerful !

But I have one little problem :
I'm doing a blog system, so having 2 models : "post" and "comment", of course post has_many comments. In my pages, I have one 'blog', which is parent for 'post', and 'post' is parent for 'comment'. So I can access my post like 'blog/my_post', that's okay.
Then, when I try to access comment, I'm trying 'blog/my_post/my_comment', but it doesn't work. Any idea ?
Did someone already use Locomotive for a blog btw ?

2 questions from the beginner

deem0n — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 12:54:42 -0500

Hello all.

I am about to choose locomotive over 5 other Ruby CMS I checked. Even Radiant have not impressed me as much as locomotive !

But before I can dive into this nice CMS I need some help

1. If I have model PortfolioItem with 2 fields: LongText and ShortText. It will be possible to make an itemsList on any site page (let's say Home page) with
{% for item in contents.PortfolioItems %}

{% endfor %}

Is it possible to put {% editable_long_text %} somehow, so enduser may edit ShortText for the correct model, even if user will do it on Home page ?

2. I managed to install upcoming version 2.0.0 with some troubles. It looks almost the same, but I see multilingual capabilities was added. That's nice.
But I sow that Theme import was not working (tried both themes from here: http://www.locomotivecms.com/support/themes)

If I will use stable version and populate it with data and custom design, how I will migrate my site to upcoming 2.0.0 ?
Any compatibility issues ? Should I use 2.0.0 right now to avoid future migration problems ? If yes, how to install Theme files ?

Thank you, I was really impressed with Locomotive CMS

Still OK for version 2

karloakes — Sat, 03 Mar 2012 14:21:31 -0500

I need to get started on a CMS project, I just wondering if I purchase the current editor will this be OK for version 2 as I was going to use 2.0.0.rc branch to get started. A quick heads up on this would be really appreciated, just so I can get a start...

Good tutorial found

Hi,
Anyone struggling with the architecture I found this excellent tutorial..

Hope it helps some newbies like me...

Locomotive and Ruby 1.9.3-p125

betacar — Wed, 29 Feb 2012 09:20:29 -0500

Self explanatory. Are they compatible? R1.9.3is by far more fast than R1.9.2.

Image resize

sturner — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 14:45:19 -0500

This works but the file data is to large for some images in my portfolio

I tried this to resize the images to 100x100
img src="{{ picture.data.url | resize: '100x100#' }}"

but it gives me an error
img src="Liquid error: the scheme http does not accept registry part: see_sightuary.s3.amazonaws.com (or bad hostname?)"

the docs? says use img src="{{ asset | resize: '100x100#' }}" where i assumed asset would be any file content type.

Template / theme architecture - noob help needed

karloakes — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 17:44:12 -0500

Hi,
I have purchased the loco editor, which has some handy shortcuts... Just trying to understand the architecture, i.e.

In the downloaded example themes the index.liquid file seems to be like an application.html.erb in std Rails project. Is this regarded as the 'parent', can this be any file ? If so, where is this set in the yml file ?

I can also see some template.liquid files, which seem to more like parent / theme files, but they have the {% extends 'parent' %} , which parent ?

Or is the parent created outside the theme ?

I'm confused, please help, as I really want to stay with this project, but the lack of documentation is driving me away and I may have to go back to Wordpress, ahhh!!!

Many thanks

keywords

jsilver — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 11:52:01 -0500

Hi everyone. Is it possible to get a list of keywords which i can use in liquid tags. For example if i want to output current page slug, where could i find right syntax to do that? thanks, sorry for poor english.

Version 2.0

karloakes — Sat, 03 Mar 2012 06:41:14 -0500

I was on the irc and was informed that v2 was final, just wondering if so what is it the engine repo I need ? i.e.
https://github.com/locomotivecms/engine.git
Also which branch do I clone ? master or 2.0.0.rc?
Will the site repo at https://github.com/locomotivecms/site.git be updated eventually or is this frozen for old version ?
Many thanks...

How do I sort model items?

cameroooon — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 20:20:07 -0500

Hi,

I'm just wondering whether or not it's possible to sort model items?

For example, I have a 'book' model set up and I have created 4 book items. From what I can gather, when I request books from the database they are returned last-in/first-out. So: Book 4 --> Book 3 --> Book 2 --> Book 1.

If I wanted Book 2 to now appear at the top of the returned list (ie. where Book 4 currently is), how would I go about this?

Many thanks!
