Previewing Pages in Textpattern

Sunday November 12, 2006

This is a handy Textpattern tip if you want to test a post before making it live on the front page. I’d forgotten all about this one.

Upgraded to Textpattern 4.0.2

Sunday November 6, 2005

Nice to see the input element’s of the comment form now make use of an id attribute. I’ve used the for attribute on all label’s in the comment form so they should now be clickable in most browser’s (does Safari support this yet?)

This is an aid to accessibility and usability of forms and I was suprised to find it unsupported in Textpattern previous to 4.0.2. Thanks to Garrett Dimon for getting the change committed.

Textpattern error — Unable to save result set

Saturday October 15, 2005

Been having some problems with my Textpattern install, resulting in the following error:

A bit of digging revealed this article in the Textpattern FAQ:

The “Unable to save result set” error is generally associated with major MySQL problems, like a corrupt table or faulty install. It is not caused by Textpattern.

I’m not sure how this could have happened? Luckily I found the glx_admin_db_tables plugin, [via Joshuaink] that seams to have sorted the problem out.
