    Hi

    I'm running 2.5.1, and there seems to be a bug if you create an issue
    with number 0. It's possible to create it, but you can't add any
    articles. I thought it would be a good idea to use 0 for all static
    pages as the paper will never have that number IRL.

    Hi Erik -

    Publication, Issue, and Section number zero are reserved for "pending
    articles" - articles that have not yet been placed into a
    publication/issue/section. So that's why its not working for you.
    Perhaps you could use a large number, like 1000. I'm sure other people
    might have better suggestions for this...

    Hi Erik,

    Do not use the number 0 for issue or section number. The application should not let you input 0. I'll file a bug report.

    Wouldn't it be better if they used NULL instead?

    Although if memory serves me right there's a bug in some mysql versions
    so NULL==0?

    The problem with using a high number is that will
    then set it to that issue.

    I would leave this on developers, they for sure have some plan how to do
    that. As far as I know, there is a chance to put article out of the
    structure (author creates article and later chef editor uses it by
    putting to structure) and what value would you expect for these...
    I believe developers will be able to find proper solution.
    By the way, I use issue number 1 for static content, or sometimes I
    simply use different publication. Both ways are ok and it is only
    template designer's decision how to handle static content.

    In my opinion there are more usefull features, that should be
    implemented to campsite. I am crying for template vocabulary, which
    should be the place, where template designer can put his static strings
    in template. This vocabulary should be connected to localizer, so that
    you set templates only once and next language mutation is done only by
    translating expressions in this vocabulary.

    And I could continue, but I believe campsite developers will find the
    best solution "how" and I can only send bugreports for features. Smile

    not really better suggestions, but we use an
    extra publication for the static pages. with the
    new campsite version that means that you will
    have to link to a vhost, but it still works for us.

    0 is reserved for issue number, it's already in use for internal purposes.
