0.6.0 -> 0.6.9 migration problems

Ruby Apps Radiant CMS
1

Folks,

First, thanks for 0.6.9, which looks good. But we’re finding two errors:

  1. r:find doesn’t work
  2. Any change to any page returns:

“Page has been modified since it was last loaded. Changes cannot be
saved without potentially losing data.”

I can’t find any stacktraces or errors in our logs.

I ran the upgrade instructions as documented, i.e., “sudo rake
radiant:update” and “sudo rake production db:migrate” and neither
returned any errors. The db migration echoed the changes it made to
the schema w/out any errors. This is with Postgresql 8.2.3.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Kendall Clark

Kendall,

Around 0.6.2 or so, we added optimistic locking to all content models
(page, snippet, layout) to prevent multiple users from overwriting each
other’s changes unknowingly. Make sure no one is logged into the admin
interface, and then do this in the console:

[Page, Snippet, Layout].each do |model|
model.update_all(:lock_version => 1)
end

See if that clears things up. Can you provide an example of where
<r:find> doesn’t work?

Sure, but I’m a bit confused: what’s the console?

Sure, see http://clarkparsia.com/ or http://pellet.owldl.com/ – the
topnav of both sites looks like this:

…

<li id="nav-3" class="selected" > " title="Our Projects" accesskey="s">Software & Services <li id="nav-4" class="selected" > " title="Our Papers" accesskey="p">Papers

From the / page, these all work fine…But from any child page of /,
like /pages, the other links don’t work at all. You can see it live on
either site.

Cheers,

Open a terminal or SSH to your instance of Radiant, and the run
‘script/console’ from the prompt to get the “console”.

In those cases you gave, you probably need to provide a complete URL to
the page you want to select, like so:

<r:find url="/projects">…

However, in the case you have shown, it would make more sense to just
put ‘/projects’ and ‘/papers’ directly in the href attribute.

Is there any way to force logouts from either the console or
command-line? The other problem we just discovered is that the logout
from admin interface doesn’t seem to work. The redirect fails and
we’re still logged in.

There’s no way to force logouts unless you’re still using the
:active_record_store or :pstore for sessions. If the former, run rake
db:sessions:clear from the command line. If the latter, remove
everything in the tmp/sessions directory.

Thanks, Sean. We seem to have sorted everything out.

One question: Maybe since we built our sites, around 0.5 version,
there’s some kind of alias feature added so that we can refer to pages
via slug or name, etc, rather than via URL in r:find since, as you
point out, that’s just more typing than making links by hardcoding
URLs.
