Hi Ryan,

Thanks for taking the time to comment.

Regarding the current Blaze website… I agree, it is ‘Basic’…
Essentially, this was just a place for me to post the latest release news and host the file. However, when Blaze 1.0 is released, this site will be running Blaze, so this site itself will be an example of it.

As well as this, I will be uploading a demo, and writing better documentation.
But, again, this project is only a few weeks old, so give me a chance to get a stable, full-featured release out, and then when I’m happy with that, I’ll get some house-keeping done

I think what you’re working on is great, but I don’t feel this site gives enough information for me to even try it out! Yeah I know “Whaddaya want Man! It’s free!” But still, you really could foster a pretty large niche community if you put up a demo site and a gallery of screenshots.

I can tell you there are thousands more just like me that won’t even give it a second look without a demo. I am giving you this advice from my years as a site conversion specialist and I really truly love to see projects like these take off. It opens doors for the developer(s) and makes the internet a better place.

Anywho, good luck!

Hi, this is great!!

Love that the default theme is compliant!!

I’ve just been playing round a bit; seems to be a problem thought when you add a new page; the table ‘navigation’ isn’t being updated although ‘module_pages’ is?

Keep up the good work.
Ben

I can’t login still. The user admin is in the users table, but with admin/test I still can’t login.

I have downloaded the latest version plus imported the new schema, but I still can’t login into the admin.

Please help.

OK guys… here’s some answers!

“1. It is a bad idea to encode password using username as a key, if i change my nick i will not be able to login.”

You’re exactly right… that function has been changed now, and it uses CI’s sha1 function, to make sure it’s always the same across platforms.

“2. There is no static/frontend folder in the archive only static/uploads”;

Each theme has a static folder in application/views/themes/themename/static/
Call static files via: blazeinstall.com/static/frontend/themename/resource.

There is a RewriteRule set up for dealing with this:

# Must do this before a trailing slash gets put on it
	RewriteRule ^static/frontend/([a-zA-Z_-]*)/(.*)$ application/views/themes/$1/static/$2 [L]
	RewriteRule ^static/admin/([a-zA-Z_-]*)/(.*)$ application/views/themes_admin/$1/static/$2 [L]

This makes us able to package themes in one directory for easier install.

“3. I could not login as admin”

I’ve now changed the way this works… the default schema has no users, on first login, that user will be created. Simple
