SPIP 3.2

SPIP 3.2 is an improved version of SPIP 3.1, which includes an update of embedded JavaScript libraries, better ergonomics of the private space as well as many improvements.

Here are the details of the evolutions

Javascript

jQuery

Important: These changes imply that it is strongly recommended to update the scripts using jQuery. This mainly concerns the following changes:

  • bind() => on()
  • unbind() => off()
  • load() => on(’load’, ...)
  • unload() => on(’unload’, ...)
  • jQuery.isArray() => Array.isArray()

jQuery UI

  • Upgrade of jQuery UI to version 1.12 (in SPIP 3.0 it isjQuery UI 1.11). http://jqueryui.com/upgrade-guide/1.12/ . Change implementation:
    • any jQuery UI is loaded in the backoffice by default.
    • In public part, when a jQuery UI element is requested via the "jqueryui_plugins" pipeline, all jQuery JI JS / CSS is also loaded.

Important: These changes imply that javascript calls that load jQuery UI modules with $.getScript() will no longer work. You can either load jQuery UI globally into your templates, or via the jqueryui_plugins pipeline for a plugin, or use $.getScript() on the path of the file "jquery-ui.js" directly.

So:

$.getScript("#CHEMIN{prive/javascript/ui/core.js}", function(){
$.getScript("#CHEMIN{prive/javascript/ui/widget.js}", function(){
$.getScript("#CHEMIN{prive/javascript/ui/mouse.js}", function(){
$.getScript("#CHEMIN{prive/javascript/ui/sortable.js}", function(){
// ...
})})})});

Could become:

$.getScript("#CHEMIN{prive/javascript/ui/jquery-ui.js}", function(){
// ...
});

JS Cookie

  • The JS Cookies library is integrated in version 2.1.4. It replaces jQuery.cookie. https://github.com/js-cookie/js-cookie
  • The old syntax $.cookie() still works in most of the cases but it is advisable to migrate
    • $.cookie(key) becomes Cookies.get(key)
    • $.cookie(key, value) becomes Cookies.set(key, value)
    • $.cookie(key, value, options) becomes Cookies.set(key, value, options)

PHP

  • Numerous notices PHP removed.
  • Compatibility with PHP 7.1

Core

Navigation items sorting & favourite entries
The plugin "Menu privé alphabétique" is integrated:

  • The navigation sub-menus (in the "Edit", "Publication", "Activity", ...) are now sorted in alphabetical order [1].
  • inauthor’s preferences, it is now possible to check "favourite" menu entries, which will then appear in the top of the relevant navigation sub-menus.
  • if a sub-menu contains more than 20 entries, it is then displayed in 2 columns.

Simplifying the "correspondence cookie"

The button to enable this cookie in the private area was not explicit. Furthermore, the cookie eventually deactivated if an author regularly logged on to the same site. The solution chosen is to remove the notion (and the button) of "correspondence cookie", and to create the cookie (as admin) systematically when an author loges on and has the rights of access to the private area . The admin cookie is renewed at the same time as the session cookie, and removed when disconnecting.

Dependencies of plugins to PHP extensions

It is now possible to specify in paquet.xml that a plugin needs a PHP extension to work. Ticket #3829. An error will be displayed if the extension is not loaded. Syntax:

<necessite nom="php:curl" />
<necessite nom="php:xdebug" compatibilite="[2.0.0;]" />

Form

  • the #FORMULAIRE_INSCRIPTION tag takes a third argument to indicate the page to which the person is redirected when they confirms their registration. 
    [(#FORMULAIRE_INSCRIPTION{6forum,0,#URL_PAGE{welcome}})]

Criteria

  • the {par champ} criterion has been rewritten to better support the field names from joint tables, thus harmonizing with {par num champ} and {par multi champ} operation. Expressions {par expr champ} can now be created without overloading the criterion, for all intents and purposes.
  • {par sinum champ} was added to place elements with numbers (other than 0.) first. So {par sinum titre, num titre, titre}will put titles with numbers before those without (unlike {par num titre, titre}. And contrary to {par titre, num titre}, number 100 will be placed after number 20.

Pipelines

Various tickets

  • Inclusions, connect & pagination (Tickets #3823 et #3899) : ajax paginations take into account the active connect parameter. Theconnect explicit in an inclusion takes precedence over the one coming from the URL.
  • The number of an author’s session files has been limited (Ticket #3807)
  • A new password can now be sent to an author from the private area (Ticket #2250)

Deleted files

  • ecrire/inc/aider.php (moved to plugins-dist/aide/inc/aide.php)
  • ecrire/inc/pclzip.php (moved to plugins-dist/archiviste/inc/pclzip.php)

Relocations

  • the date filters are now in inc/filtres_dates.php (moved from inc/filtres.php) (Ticket #3583).

Suppression

  • the deprecated functions afficher_plus() , debut_cadre_couleur_foncee() , fin_cadre_couleur_foncee() have been moved to the plugin Grenier.

Plugins

Online help

  • New plugin which integrates the online help management (functions moved from the Core or Plugin SVP)

Archiviste

  • New plugin that integrates the management of zip and tar archives (functions moved from the Core)

Image Filters

  • Deprecated functions and files from SPIP 2.1 (Ticket #3601) have been removed. The elements have been moved to the plugin Grenier.

Grenier

  • Home for deprecated functions of the plugin Image filters.
  • Home for Core deprecated functions

Medias

  • Integration of the plugin Minidoc in the plugin médias. It allows different views of the documents lists attached to the editorial objects. Ticket #3888
  • The default presentation of these attached document lists has also been changed
  • Integration of the plugin Ordoc in the plugin médias. Ticket #3887. 115/5000
    It allows the sorting of the documents lists attached to editorial objects [2], and adds a "rang_lien" field in the table spip_documents_liens. Then it becomes possible to use loops such as::
    <BOUCLE_docs(DOCUMENTS){id_article}{par rang_lien, num titre, titre, date}>

    .

  • The structure of the expected HTML code returned from the afficher_metas_document has been changed. It also sends the HTML of the displayed details to the document rather than nothing by default, which enables to complete the <table> tag.

Keywords

  • An advanced administration of the keywords has been added. It allows them to merge or create associations / dissociations with another keyword Commit 100448

Organiser

Sites

  • Search in syndicated articles on a site is now possible. Ticket #3859

SVP - Management of plugin

  • Taking into account of the display of dependency errors on PHP extensions.. Ticket #3819.
  • More comprehensible display of versions of dependency errors.
  • You can now download a plugin without activating it. In this case the plugin search page will remain. Ticket #3471
  • A progress bar is displayed in multiple actions (avoids redirection errors). Ticket #3473
  • Correction of the absence of confirmation of the actions when additional actions are automatically added by SVP (for example to activate or to deactivate dependencies).
  • inc/pcltar.php andlib/pcltar/ moved into the plugin Archiviste.

Extended URLs

Arborescent URLs (mainly) can handle multilingualism (multis fields on topics for example) and multiple parents (polyhierarchy).

  • Tolerate several parents for an object. Commit 100814
  • A field langue on the table spip_urls has been added. Commit 100835
  • It is possible to define a specific URL for a certain language on an editorial object by editing the URL. To do this, in the input field, indicate [code langue]:[url propre] as en:movies and fr:videos. Commit 100835
  • The declaration of "type" possibly prefixing the URL of an object in tree-based URLs (example: ’mot’ in mot/titre_du_mot) can receive syntax based on a multi tag to translate the term to the language Commit 100836
  • Tree-based URLs can handle multilingualism, adding the language code in the URL, which can be activated by the constant _url_arbo_multilang. Commit 100844.
