[campsite-dev] Campsite 3.0.0 Official Release - Newscoop Development Discussions on Sourcefabric Forum

Dear Campsite users,

Campsite 3.0.0, a major upgrade has been officially released. This version
contains major improvements in the template language and much improved
portability and install process. Download
now
!

Campsite 3.0.0 runs on any operating system that runs PHP, Apache and MySQL,
including Linux, Windows, Macs and BSD variants. And if it doesn't, we need bug
reports !

The Campsite 3.0.0 package contains default sample templates together with
the corresponding database which you can install by following the steps in
the INSTALL file. (Newbie Windows users: Try opening the INSTALL file with
Notepad or Wordpad).

Unlike the 2.2-2.7 versions, Campsite 3.0 does not support multiple
instances anymore. This means that for each instance you want to run you
have to install Campsite in a new virtual host.

The install process is much simpler and the dependencies are much fewer: we
removed the C++ code so every dependency related to it vanished. No more
compiling Smile

We're looking forward to getting user feedback, so please get involved in
the Campsite community. Check the Campsite support
forumor join our mailing
list for more info.

*Changelog for Campsite 3.0.0*

For full details about these changes, see:
http://code.campware.org/projects/campsite/query?milestone=3.0.0

Major Improvements:
- The template engine was rewritten in PHP for better performance,
more flexibility, easier development, plugin architecture, fewer
dependecies and easy install.
- The install procedure is much easier thanks to a web based
installer.
- A caching mechanism for database objects was implemented. This
will result in fewer database queries and greater speed and
scalability.

Small improvements:
- Variables for storing temporary data can be used in the template
language.
- Boolean expressions can be used in "if" statements.
- Many new small features in the template language.
- The web based installer provides a default demo package for
easier learning of the template language.
- Removed the constraint of having at most one limitted list of a
certain type in a template.

Campsite 3.0.0 upgrade script.

Hi all, I found a little problem in upgrade script. What I did was, i
used to have 3.0 rc3 instance called kal_cs (for historical reason
that name). Now I moved them to dedicated server and I thought it
would be good to name all those instances by default "campsite". What
I did was, I installed empty campsite, without running setup and hoped
the restore backup will replace all files, so that everything works.
However it did not. I tested it second time after the campsite setup
was done, which does not seem very logical to me, but the problem was
the same.
What I did than was dropping database, restoring old one from backup
and manual copying files (I believe there were no big changes to key
structure that can make problems when upgrading from rc3 to Release,
but as I need to upgrade way more instances from 2.x branch, I need to
be sure renaming will work well.

Output of the process can be seen bellow:

kal# php /usr/local/www/campsite/bin/campsite-restore backup-
campsite-2008-05-01-20-24-21.tar.gz -t campsite

Campsite Restore Utility
------------------------
* Initializing...
* Temp directory: backup-campsite-2008-05-01-20-24-21
* Initialization done.
* Extracting files into temp directory...done.
* Backup database name is 'kal_cs'.
* Destination database name (to be replaced) is 'campsite'.

The database configuration file 'backup-campsite-2008-05-01-20-24-21/
kal_cs/database_conf.php' does not exist.
It is likely because Campsite is not properly installed.
Please run the Web installer and try restoring from the backup after
that.

* Cleaning up...done.

Is there a place to which I can upload it? I would like to put there
also one 2.x version backup to check the functionality.

Hi, as Ljuba discovered missing dependency - CTYPE library, I tried to
install this library to another site prepared for upgrade and it
worked with a single problem. Please in restore script options let me
to choose db user and db password, not only the database name. That
will make this tool way more useful.
