texte = Hi all,Now that Webcat 2.1 has gone final, I was wondering when we could expect to see the next beta... :)We still have 2 outstanding issues with Webcat and one with Emailer that either I or michaelw reported previously:1) Spurious error messages clogging up my Errorlog: Error: Can't open order file. Ignoring [OrderFile] context. This is caused by using an orderfile context inside of a listfiles context. The functionality of the code is correct, but this extra logging is starting to become quite annoying (at several MB per day).2) [index] inside [lineitems] wrapped in a [loop] causes 4 characters after [index] to be eaten by webcat. So the code: [index][showif 1=1] becomes [index]wif 1=1]which can obviously cause some problems. Working around this is pretty easy, but it should be fixed nonetheless.3) Emailer 2.0b4 does not retry sending mail, nor does it bounce the mail to the sender. Generally our web server becomes very busy (too many orderfile commands in a script cause our g3 to CRAWL), causing mail to timeout. If Emailer had some kind of non-infinite retry method for sending mail, it would make things run much more smoothly. Similarly, if a user enters an invalid to address, it would be extremely useful if that message was bounced back to the sender. I currently have to surf the EmailerLog every day to look for failed and unsent messages.While none of these items are critical, they are problems that we were hoping would be fixed before Webcat 2.1 went final. I would appreciate any info PCS can provide on timetables for resolving these problems.Thanks,Dale ________________________ ______________________________ | Dale LaFountain | mailto:dalel@dhorse.com | | MIS Director,WebMaster | web: http://www.dhorse.com/ | | Dark Horse Comics, Inc.|Phone: 503-652-8815 x324 | \_________ID97___________|______________________________/
