[TP 1.0 Beta 5-1] Editing and saving Articles

[Rafferty]

Well it's a little more involved than what I said.  The way I would probably do it is create a new (ie separate) database temporarily and import one of the backups into it.  Then I would track down the article from there.  Then you can just remove the temporary database when you are done.

The 'phpMyAdmin' software takes some figuring out.  If you want to send me the last back up you did (the sql file) then if you gave me an idea of what was in the article then I could probably extract it for you.

I'd be grateful for any help, thanks Freddy. I tried to attach the backup which should contain the original article however it's too large to be uploaded here.  I reckon if i could get any copy at all with or without the html code it may be better if I resurrect it in an html centre block while I decide where it would be better off.  Is there another source I can get it to you?

Did you zip it up Rafferty? Zipping the download should down size it pretty good. If you can't post it, I'd just upload it to your site and send freddy a link to download it.

[Rafferty]

It is zipped and about 4.2 meg

Yeah if you can do what IchBin said that would probably be the best way.  It also means it can be kept private - you don't really want a database full of emails floating around.   If you know how to ftp it to a temporary place on your webspace just send me the link to it by Private Messages.

I would like to thank Freddy888 for rescuing us from a nasty loss of data.  Freddy successfully restored our deceased veterans list, something very close to our hearts. I won't have to committ hari kari now after all. 

Also thanks to Ichbin for being patient with me and understanding.

The above has convinced me to stay with TP and I would like to propose a Donation be made to TP when our committee next meets. Do we have Charter Membership here or just donations guys?

Lastly, I think missed in the main flurry of posts:  My mention of the error found under my comments box, any explanation for that?

Off topic slightly, Ive just noticed an error on the bottom of my new articles under the Comments box, as in the attached screen shot. I don't know what this means. "Not Defined Yet Not Defined Yet Not Defined Yet Not Defined Yet Not Defined Yet "

Thanks again guys, youve shown me just how dedicated you all are from TP and I appreciate it much more now.

Glad you got things working Rafferty. The "Not defined Yet" is a bug that has been reported. Bloc will be adding the fixes to the next release.

No problem at all Rafferty, glad to help

A couple of quickies: I mentioned earlier that I had trouble displaying a full article if it was particularly long.  Everything seems to be working OK now on my site but this problem remains.  Do you guys think its something in my server or forum setup settings or something else?

Secondly we would like to make a donation as previously stated as a small appreciation of your work.  Do you have a charter membership or should it go through a general donation?

Thanks again guys

Depends on what "long" is. Have you figured out if it is cutting off at any particular character count? It's easy to get the count of characters when you copy/paste the text into an editor. The editors usually show you how many characters you have in your current document.

As for your Donation, this is the latest on what Bloc has offered.

Thanks I will fix that up.

I am pasting 59,312 characters for an article

After saving it only displays 47,858 characters. The html code after that point is deleted or not saved
