As long as rewrite and compression is working, you have nothing to worry about in regards to the specific apache tests. The tests themselves might not work and will create "notices" in the output, but we are just adding a lot of checks so it is easier for us to diagnose.
Hi Karl!

Of course, you are right! There is a htaccess file inside the check folder, my mistake, sorry! I do get following error messages at the top of the check page:
Code
Notice: Undefined index: HTTP_MOD_REWRITE in /www/htdocs/.../x3/check/index.php on line 902
Notice: Undefined index: HTTP_MOD_DEFLATE in /www/htdocs/.../x3/check/index.php on line 910

I'll send you the link via pm, maybe this is interesting for you!

Two more questions:
  • How to activate the comments feature? (I have a valid Disqus-Account)
  • Will X3 support password protection for specific pages in a later stage of development?
Kind regards,
George

I have it in my v0.10 list, and will see if can integrate it for then.

Did you add your disqus shortname to main settings yet?
Code
disqus_shortname: mjau-mjau
After you have done that, simply add "disqus" tag to the layout setting of the page where you want to include comments. For instance:
Code
layout: disqus

Yes, and we hope to add this pretty soon.

Good morning!

Thank you very much Karl for your information!

Added disqus-shortname but forgot to add it to the layout! :(

Kind regards,
George

I think you are overcomplicating preload ... When preload is set to true, X3 will create a data-file from your entire website, store it on the server, and serve it to visitors on entry page so the website becomes ultra-fast. The data-file is very heavy to create, and that is why it caches it on server ... However, if you keep on editing the website (images, pages etc) while preload=true, the server will have to recreate the data-file every time it notices something changed. This is very inefficient, and could make your server very slow, and should be avoided. Therefore, we strongly recommend to set preload: true only AFTER you are finished with an edit session ... Once you are going to edit again, you should set preload: false until you have finished editing.

This is just a recommendation, as we haven't yet figured out a better way to integrate this. If you don't have too many pages or images, I think you can safely keep preload: true all the time.

The preload setting foes not affect your ability to upload images or create new pages. Furthermore, the preloader is not explicitly related to the cache either ... The data-object will empty itself from cache automatically when something changed in the website, and X3 will need to re-create it. The data-object se "compressed" with "Mod deflate", but it would work without mod deflate also ... Mod deflate is just a progressive enhancement in general.

I don't see this problem ... when I share a page, I see this:
Image

What page are you referring to? Please share so we can test. Also, you can try the facebook debugger:

Internal server error when uploading an image? Nothing anyone else has reported, and its just a plain uploader. Do you have login to your panel so I can take a look? May I ask why you have permissions 777 for content folders? This is considered insecure, and sometimes servers return errors because you have that permission.

With the new skins, we have abandoned the dark grey navigation background in the topbar and sidebar, as we couldn't really see any reason to keep it from a design perspective. Instead, the navigation background is either "clear" (same as global background), or "filled" with a slightly darker/lighter shade than the main background. This MAY of course affect your logo if you were using a graphic logo, so you may have to adapt it or try the different skins.
Karl,

I was wondering, about the nav system. It has clear and fill.

The clear doesn't work on the startpage, something you plan to change or is it a design thing?

It doesnt work on startpage, because you have set "menu-absolute", so that the menu is OVER the slideshow. That means the slideshow will show beneath it ... That is the whole point of the "menu-absolute" on the startpage ... If you want the slideshow BELOW the menu, then why use the menu-absolute in the first place?

Im having problems trying to imagine what the problem is ... Do you have a link or something? If you are using "menu-absolute", it means you want the menu+logo OVER the startpage images ... It also means that your logo+menu should have solid contrast compared to the images in the startpage slideshow. You could also try menu-absolute-90 or menu-absolute-80.

Ahhh... I'm a bit lost at docs, trying to understand what all the <variables> does. I saw menu-absolute - but it was in BODY section.

You're right, the menu-absolute was menu-absolute-20 as default.

- Thanks
