1) Editing a download item- I can't seem to add a new icon to a download item- I go through the steps to upload the icon, the page refreshes, but it doesn't appear in the icon list. I can manually put a new icon in the directory and it appears in the list, but not when I upload it. I'm wondering if this might be a directory permission issue on my end perhaps (??)

There is no function to upload icons from the user interface: you can upload an image (screenshot) that will show as illustration for the one upload, but not as a re-usable icon.
If you want extra icons you will need to load them via ftp (as you did)

I think there's an issue with using double-quotes in the title field in a couple of screens, like in the administrating a category screen and when creating or editing an article, etc. If you use a title like this:

Experts Say "Millennials" Are Killing The Pickle Industry

...what you'll end up with in the title field after saving it is:

Experts Say

Everything after the first quote is clipped off (including the first quote). I think this may also happen with single quotes in some places as well but I'm not 100% certain about that.

Confirmed: titles of Categories, Articles and Downloads are being truncated when using double quotes.
Singe quotes work fine by the way...

Interestingly the Download categories DO accept the double quotes without issue

There's also an issue with using quotes as part of a search term. I made a post on that here: https://www.tinyportal.net/index.php?topic=36891.msg303684

3) Also, one feature suggestion, if you feel it has merit. I'd love a Delete button (just for admins) on the edit screen for article pages so the page could be killed off on the spot. Hunting down a rogue article and paging to it can take a while.

I have been playing around with this, and it is not that obvious where to put the delete button and what to do as the redirect when deleting the article.

What about this?

Since is is net clear where a user is coming from when deleting the article I think is is best to redirect back to the TinyPortal/Articles page: /index.php?action=tpadmin;sa=articles

@lurkalot @tino do you feel this change is worthwhile to add to the next version?

The original requester does not seem to need it that much, since he has not replied even though he has been online after I posted...

I'm not sure to be honest.  It looks a little risky to me being able to just delete it from there.  Does it give a confirmation message after clicking the delete button, or does it just rely on the advanced warning message next to the button?  I mean if you accidently click it, it's gone. 

Personally I'd prefer a one click Deactivate button, so at least you would see the none active article in the article manager which can then be deleted or recycled into a new article if desired.

[@rjen]

It will still ask confirmation. No more risk then deleting from the list view

[lurkalot]

Thanks, wasn't sure hence the question.

In that case I don't mind either way, it's up to you guys if you think it's worth adding, I will probably stick with the old method because I'm so used to doing it that way.

[tino]

If there is confirmation then happy with adding the button.

What you redirect back to makes sense.

Sorry, I've been in and out, some minor medical issues and stuff like that. I thought it would be a handy addition, but in retrospect, probably not worth a lot of coding or work.

I was more concerned about the title truncating issue; will there be a fix or update for that at some point?
