Meta data page issues

[shoostar]

I noticed two things on the "Meta Data" page: for one, the Twitter handle section has mysteriously been removed (unless that was done with purpose), and I also noticed that (besides going through the database manually) there's no way to remove custom meta fields after you create them for this page.

You can add the twitter handle stuff by nicking it from Default I think, check the functions file.

[shoostar]

That's what I ended up doing. Also, I noticed that if you create a custom field in the "Extend" section, trying to edit it gives this error:

Uncaught Exception

Class 'Str' not found
Origin

anchor\views\extend\fields\edit.php on line 4
Trace

#0 [internal function]: System\Error::shutdown()
#1 {main}

I think the twitter option has been taken out because its not essential to the CMS.

In regards to that error, got no idea. dev or master copy?

[shoostar]

Dev. I added a field that gets used in a "tweet this" button for articles. It works perfectly fine, just can't edit the field parameters.

As for the actual Twitter account meta field, that's totally understandable. I just hard-coded the link into my HTML.

[daviddarnes]

You're probably better off using the master as there's probably some new features that are conflicting with it.

[shoostar]

I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case. Regardless, everything on the front-end of it all works just fine, so I'm not really too concerned. As a matter of fact, I'll probably keep on using the dev branch just to help point out bugs and whatnot.

Yea, this is being replace with global custom fields, so you can add not only your twitter account but others like your google analytics account etc. Just do a git pull on your dev copy, when I commit new features I try to make sure it doesn't break the dev branch, but sometimes thats not always the case.

[daviddarnes]

Not to worry Kieron, the work you've done so far is fantastic! And I like the sound of the Google analytics code field too.

[shoostar]

I agree with David on that, you've all done some amazing work with this CMS, and I'm glad I chose to keep using this instead of any other CMS to power my blog. Speaking of Google Analytics, I've been thinking about going ahead and creating something similar for GoSquared as well, seeing as how I use that instead of Google.

[daviddarnes]

@shoostar They are both implemented in a similar manner, just some javascript at the bottom of the page before the end of the body. Just needs a large metabox for it in the Metadata section I guess.

[jordankoschei]

A basic "Footer Analytics Code" textarea would cover all our bases.

[daviddarnes]

Global custom fields has been added to the dev version, sorted.
