[campsite-support] Back up and restore
  • Hi,

    as everyone knows, the site I'm developing sits on a shared host.
    Hence no shell/root access.

    Because I can't disrupt the production site with the work on the
    Campsite adaption I installed Campsite on one of my domains and am
    building everything right there.

    Now, soon I have to move the content of this installation to the
    installation on the client's domain. As this means taking down his
    primary site I would like to have a fast solution, like working it in
    but a few hours.

    So - I can't do a backup as described in the manual for lack of root
    access. Is there a different solution? E.g. would it suffice to

    Dump the MySQL database including table structure
    Save all templates and images
    Set up the same instance of Campsite on new domain
    Restore the SQL file
    Access the admin panel and readjust the publication URL

    ?

    Or what else do I need to do?

    Cheers,

    Pippa

    Yeah, that's pretty much what you need to do. Include also "files" directory.

    Best,

  • Pippa, you need to set the write permisions on several folders. Also check
    the owner of the folder.

    set 775 for:

    images and it's sub folders
    templates

    btw, do you have a tmp folder?

    My host runs suPHP, folders are 755, files are 644.

    Where should that be?

    I probably don't have it because I don't have ACP cache.

  • Hi Pippa,

    How did you managed to show images, caption / description at images?

    Errr ... normally?

    The site works so far quite normally. No idea what is defunct, as so
    far everything was mostly as it should be. I don't really understand
    what you are driving at.

  • I spent a lot of time to search for some of the templates offered for free
    download...

    The difference between them is mainly on desig, not functionality. So, not
    quite usefull.

    My issues / questions are the same from the last post to list:

    ---
    - in admin can you search for an article? like.. I remember about an article
    published some time ago.. about x subject.; and all you remember is x
    subject..?

    - for photos, the caption or as is called here description can be in several
    languages? ex: you have the site in 2 languages and you need to put the
    caption / description in both languages..

    - cron scripts:

    you need to run: campsite_indexer to get index to be able to use the
    following code:

    {{ if $campsite->image->has_image2 }}

    {{ /if }}

    otherwise you need the other solution:



    in campsite-3.2.1-sample-templates-03-v1 you show an image at article in
    section, but the main article has no image. if I use the second code, I can
    get image. the article has 2 images.

    it's an issue because the cron is not running or syntax issue?


    - how do you put the caption in the html attribute: alt=... ?

    - can you chose the place where you put photo1, photo 2..etc.. like a 6
    paragraphs text and 5 photos. what you? all at the beginning? at the end? as
    a column one under other?

    - if you use some of the examples from gallery how do you put the caption/
    description for each photo?

    ------
    and the following:

    - home: the main article should have a big photo: link on photo, title,
    subtitle, abstract.

    - all the other articles in home page should have photo, title, abstrat


    the same in each section.

    on article page: photo, click on photo you see it big, and the article

    if you have more photos (5 maximum) how you manage them?

    if you want a gallery inside the article can you do it? what about 3 photos
    for article and a gallery?

  • Hi Gabi,

    Here are some of the answers to your questions:

    It's silly, but it isn't. We've always had something more pressing to
    implement. We're planning a big overhaul of the admin interface after 3.4,
    so that feature will definitely be implemented there.

    > - for photos, the caption or as is called here description can be in
    several
    > languages? ex: you have the site in 2 languages and you need to put the

    It can be. You can also have different captions (descriptions) for the same
    photo in different articles.

    > - how do you put the caption in the html attribute: alt=... ?

    You can specify the alt-text for the photograph via the TinyMCE editor's
    insert image popup. The caption and the alt text default to the value
    entered as image description.

    BTW, we are taking a fresh look at our image handling in the next major
    release (3.4, so expect improvements in metadata handling)


    > - can you chose the place where you put photo1, photo 2..etc.. like a 6
    > paragraphs text and 5 photos. what you? all at the beginning? at the end?
    as
    > a column one under other?

    You can either insert them via the WYSIWYG editor wherever you want within
    the article text. Or you can specify where you want to have each of them
    using image numbers, e.g. image no. x will always be on top of the article,
    image y in a special box, image z will be on the bottom, etc.

    > - if you use some of the examples from gallery how do you put the
    caption/
    > description for each photo?

    I am not sure I understand the question (what examples?). Please provide
    more info.

    I believe Mugur's answer that he sent to the list provides all the pointers
    for the questions above (I guess you may have missed it due to that silly
    bug in our antiquated phorum). You can find it below.

    All the best,

    Sava

    Hi Gabi,

    You can list article images with list_article_images (see
    http://code.campware.org/manuals/campsite/3.3/index.php?id8).

    Here is a howto for creating galleries:
    http://trac.campware.org/campsite/wiki/MiniGallery-Slideshow

    The code was tested and it works.

    You can also see an example of the article-content.tpl template from the
    default demo templates installed by Campsite (attached here).

    If your template doesn't work it means you made a mistake in the template,
    please go to the issues list page in the admin interface and click on
    preview. The preview window outputs syntax errors.
