Hello,
I have been testing the RC 2 for a some time now, and there are quite a few bugs. We can't even get the debugging features to work, even after having edited the library ezdebug.php like the wiki says (http://ezwiki.blanko.info/index.php/3XHT_DebugPopup). Getting no debugging its getting too difficult to work with, I guess we just have to wait for the Final release or RC 3.

ez crew, can you tell us anything about coming releases?

Is there anyone who knows of a solution to the problem above? How is the debugging feature meant to work?

regards,
claÜs

It thought only the site.ini should be edited??! That's what it says in the docs and sdk. Hrrrmmmfff! Why can't they make a correct doc?! And why do I have to edit 2 files which contains the same settings?!?

Thanks that helped me!! :)

I have a non-virtual host install and has only been editing site.ini, with luck. I now see that ezpublish must copy the values from site.ini to the site.ini.php, but it does not so with all variables/settings. It says nothing about this in the doc, I think it should.

In the sdk is says: " Edit settings/site.ini and set ViewCaching=disabled in [ContentSettings]." So I have been editing this one, and ez has been copying values without me knowing it to the site.ini.php! But when I set the debug-settings in the site.ini, it has not copied those, and therefore didnt produce debug-info! Its non-consistent behaviour, and hard to figure out!

I just expect the doc to be in sync with the release, and its not! Or they could just have waited to the docs was in sync...
I will think twice before I use a RC2 from ez again.

Hi Karsten, thanks. I have read those now, but I think the infomation should be placed a little more strategic. I was way past the installation, was not in my mind to read that document over again.
But it must be a bug then, that it (ez) copies all values except some of the debugging settings from site.ini to site.ini.php. Since I have been editing the site.ini all along, and seen the changes happen. How does that routine work?

That's a good question as it shouldn't happen. Most probably a bug. You do not have to edit two files, though. I agree that that info should be placed in a more visible place. :-)

> Just edit the .ini.php files not the .ini files.

I have figured that out by now. Its just having used so many hours on a little thing like that, its bothering.

Thinking twice means, if I dont have time to track bugs, I will have to choose something else. And yes, maybe its too bad, cos' ez is definitively promising.

yes, dont forget .php now ;)

But, as Karsten mentions it's most probably a bug. I will register it, it was really hard to find.

Thanks anyway.
