Quick crib sheet on errors identified in bitweaver

blogs

  1. When adding a new post to a blog the save function does not return the id of the new post. The post is saved and is listed but a 'blog not found' page is displayed due to post_id value being missing from the return URL.
  2. Adding image attachments to a post are not being handled properly. This still needs to be triaged fully. The images are being upload to fisheye (see below), just not then displaying in the post.
  3. Switch the default start and stop dates for display of a post to the actual initial post date. Actually I would prefer to drop the stop date altogether as is the practice on other blog sites.
  4. A feature request item following on from that is a side bar module to display the calendar of posts which again is more normal on blog only sites. This module would also be useful for the articles package to summarise a linked set of articles tracing the chronology of an event.

fisheye

  1. When saving images PHP deprecated warnings mess up the reporting that the images have been saved.
  2. Not actually a fisheye bug (liberty problem), but in addition to the correct subdirectory being created in the storage directory and extra empty directory is created in the root directory

Bitweaver will only run with an older version of PHP. A lot of work is needed to move it to PHP8.x but initially all of the depricated errors need to be cleared on PHP7.3. Simply hiding them is not the correct 'fix', but in addition to updateing bitweaver code, all of he libraries used also need updating to newer version where they exist.
