Whoa! Nice update, well seems that DF 10 is getting a new structure. The Ajax and the framework2.js features seem pretty interesting.

framework2.js is my old unmaintained MOO CMS version

I wrote a new one which is also added this evening: poodle.js
poodle.js converts Internet Explorer to be W3C compatible.

Why not place the calls to the javascripts files to the bottom of the page? i mean footer.php to improve loading times.

Some people create terrible JavaScript code.
They try to access the DOM when it's not fully loaded yet.

To solve this problem something big has to change in the Df core.
There need to be two new functions like:

$JavaScript->addData()
$JavaScript->addFile()

These will temporary store all needed JavaScript inside the $JavaScript object.
Then when footer.php gets called something like $JavaScript->__toString() needs to be called to echo all script elements.

I understand that an object will handle this better but maybe in a complex way. Why not something as simple as a $javascript global var (like $header for header.php ?).

Well, dragonfly by default is not bloated with javascripts and it makes the changes easier.

On footer.php will be first call Files, then data (when loaded or when ready -ondocument-)

In future, HEAD will not support usual upgrades anymore including postnuke, cpgbb 1.x, coppermine 1.x, 8.x, 9.1 and 9.2.

Will instead support DragonflyCMS 9.3+ (next releases) only and latest versions of cpgbb (needs dev), coppermine (needs dev) and possibly many others CMS like wordpress, joomla! etc etc ...

Any comments or suggestions?

I think that can be good if we simplified some options.

But I'dont understand what do you said with "many others CMS like wordpress, joomla! etc etc ..."

DragonflyCMS.org is going to support Joomla? or only the change from Joomla to DF10?

In other hand, I think that we must have an official download of DF 10 or at least a DF 9.5 package in the next time. We know (for our Spanish community) that many people has problem in the first intallation of DF 9.2 (specially with preconfiguration of security parameters, must be dissable flooding and unknowed user agent).

Talking about converting from other CMS.

The current RC has those options disabled by default and moreover a reworked and non-blocking UA detection.

Hi Nano,

The package tha you download fron here:
dragonflycms.org/Downl...ils/id=28/

Get the next result if you try to install with Google Chrome:

Quote:

Unknown user-agent
You are banned from this site due to a unknown user-agent.

I think that this is not a good result for people that is starting with DF.

Many people try to install and when they get a problem can not continue.

When I downloaded the other package, I though that was the core package and that one was only a actualization, not core only modified files.

Perhaps I'm stupid, but I think that is not clear.

I think that can be more clear if you change the title of the package:

For example: "Dragonfly CMS 9.2.3.2 from CVS"

By de way, please, if it's possible introduce my Spanish Language file for Install in the next package.

dragonflycms.org/Forum...c/t=24424/

I think that can be interesting.

New feature: a detailed debugging option and fully working .. will commit changes later.

For PHP < 5.3 will not work as expected since eg: E_DEPRECATED doesn't exists, so in your case nothing will happen when selecting these options.
