In the last weeks we have hard worked on the next update release.
Here the long list what we have changed (#), added (+) and fixed (!) ... (I hope, I have nothing forgotten

)

! cache trigger don't detect all actions
! custom css for blocks don't work
! a lot of ccs mistake removed
! dynamic visibility don't work correct
# singe page request now use the format index.php?spage=pagename
# the prefix char @ for singe page is now p:
# all show/hide custom action now with enhanced wildcards (? for 0 or 1 char, * for 0 or n chars)
# custom css don't longer overwrite the settings, so you can switch back without adjust the setting
# any change between custom css/default css show immediate after change
# many hard coded styles replaced with css classes
# block inner padding now can set for top/bottom, left/right or both (y,x or yx)
+ block inner padding can be overwrite in custom css
+ specially testing purposes, to help member on write php block.
We added the function PortaMx_Printvar($vardata) they convert any data to a readable php code. You can put this function in a php block to test/check data they are read from SSI functions or the database. (see image FScap0104.png)
+ multi part / multi theme support for custom css
in multi part/theme (.mpt) files you can define css as "parts" for each theme you use.
+ changes on mpt files are detected and the .mpt is recompiled to .css and cached
+ comments are removed from .mpt files for faster loading and less transfer
# the shout box BBC popup now use also the current theme/custom style
# many code parts optimized for faster speed
# php blocks expanded to special php block, now you can create a "init" code block and a "show" code block. For the init part you can open a second editor. All exist php code works without any change (see image FScap0107.png).
+ Popup for edit Titles for all exist languages, Title icons and Title align on each block in the overview screen (see image FScap0106.png)
# Move and Clone block now as Popup on each block in the overview screen
+ Support for Block in Block technology, wich can be create with the new special PHP block (see image FScap0103.png)
The access and visibility for the inner blocks is inherit from the outer block
+ Pageindex for newposts, boardnews, multiple boardnews, RSS reader, see Fscap0110/0111

Additional note:
This release is full compatible with SimpleSEF (we prefer this mod)

Here the code for a Block in Block with the special PHP block (code is developed in next release)

PHP block INIT PART

Code: [Select]

/*
* Samplecode Block in Block
* @author PortaMx - Portal Management Extension
* @author Copyright 2008-2010 by PortaMx - http://portamx.com
*
* PHP block INIT PART
*/

// globals we need here
global $context, $smcFunc;

// define the block ID's you will see
$this->php_vars = array(
	'blocklist' => array(37,147,3,60),			// block ID's in the show order
);

// define the block padding
$this->php_vars['padding'] = $context['PortaMx']['settings']['panels']['padding'] .'px;';
$this->php_vars['padhalf'] = ceil($context['PortaMx']['settings']['panels']['padding'] / 2) .'px;';

// init the object array
$this->php_vars['objects'] = null;

// now request the blocks
$request = $smcFunc['db_query']('', '
	SELECT *  FROM {db_prefix}portamx_blocks
	WHERE active = 1 AND id IN ({array_int:blocklist})',
	array('blocklist' => $this->php_vars['blocklist'])
);

if($smcFunc['db_num_rows']($request) > 0)
{
	while($row = $smcFunc['db_fetch_assoc']($request))
	{
		// check if the classfile loaded
		$blocktype = 'pmxc_'. $row['blocktype'];
		if(!class_exists($blocktype)) 
			require_once($context['PMx_classdir'] . $row['blocktype'] .'.php');

		// call the contrutor
		$this->php_vars['objects'][$row['id']] = new $blocktype($row, null, $visible);

		// Initiate the block if visible
		if(!empty($visible))
			$visible = $this->php_vars['objects'][$row['id']]->pmxc_InitContent();

		// destroy object if invisible
		if(empty($visible))
			unset($this->php_vars['objects'][$row['id']]);
	}
	$smcFunc['db_free_result']($request);
}
/*	End INIT PART */

PHP block SHOW PART

Code: [Select]

/*
* Samplecode Block in Block
* @author PortaMx - Portal Management Extension
* @author Copyright 2008-2010 by PortaMx - http://portamx.com
*
* PHP block SHOW PART
*/

// the block output "function"
$blockoutfunc = '
	$objid = array_shift($this->php_vars[\'blocklist\']);
	if(isset($this->php_vars[\'objects\'][$objid]))
		$this->php_vars[\'objects\'][$objid]->pmxc_ShowBlock(0, \'\');
	else
		echo \'Block object \'. $objid .\' not exist.\';';

echo '
	<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" width="100%">
		<tr valign="top" height="5%">
			<td valign="top">
				<div style="width:175px; padding-right:'. $this->php_vars['padhalf'] .'">';

eval($blockoutfunc);	// output the block

echo '
				</div>
			</td>
			<td valign="top" width="90%" style="padding:0 '. $this->php_vars['padhalf'] .'">';

eval($blockoutfunc);	// output the block

echo '
			</td>
			<td  valign="top" rowspan="2">
				<div style="width:175px; padding-left:'. $this->php_vars['padhalf'] .'">';

eval($blockoutfunc);	// output the block

echo '
				</div>
			</td>
		</tr>
		<tr valign="top">
			<td valign="top" colspan="2" style="padding-top:'. $this->php_vars['padding'] .' padding-right:'. $this->php_vars['padhalf'] .'">';

eval($blockoutfunc);	// output the block

echo '
			</td>
		</tr>
	</table>';
/*	End SHOW PART */

And finally here the PHP block code for the PortaMx_Printvar($vardata) function:

Code: [Select]

echo PortaMx_Printvar(ssi_whosOnline(''), 'ssi_whosOnline return data');

I'm also looking forward to playing with the next release.

Amazing!

neverhurry · « **Reply #7 on:** 23 Feb 10, 16:30:59 »

Congratulations! I don't understand what is block in block, but it sounds very interesting, can not wait to play with it.

Fel, those are great progress, thumbs up to you and your team. I have one question for next release: don't you think multiple boardnews and boardnews blocks are a little overlapped? I mean if you add a choice of how many topics for admin to choose inside multiple boardnews block, then it can practically replace, substitute the simple boardnews block. Last, i wish very much a pagination function to this awesome multiple boardnews block. Will you consider them? Anyway, you have been doing fantastically, that's why we are here, I think PortaMx has a great future.

Sincerely Paul
