   I’ve tried dump­ing the cache but still get­ting ran­dom 404’s on a PC laptop with Firefox. 

   1.3 looks great so far though.

   Nik — I’m hop­ing this is a cache prob­lem. I’ve tested this so far on Firfox/IE on a PC and Firefox/Safari on a Mac and in both instances when the cache was dumped, the site worked fine.

   The cache issue I think was due to EE 1.3’s slightly dif­fer­ent hand­ling of .htac­cess files. There was a server side issue as well with db cache and per­mis­sions need­ing to be 777. Sor­ted that now as well. 

   If you keep get­ting prob­lems — or indeed if any­one does. Please let me know so I can try and sort it. 

   Thanks

   Ah.. I meant on my site! :) You’re seems to be work­ing perfectly… 

   I’d be inter­ested to hear about the db cache per­mis­sion though as that may be affect­ing my site. If you have time. 

   BTW, I’m impressed with the live pre­view on your site and I’m just look­ing to see how it works.. I’m not steal­ing it though.

   Phew! But I can at least tell you what the prob­lems might be. 

   First off, do you have an htac­cess file to get rid of the ‘/index.php/’ bit of the url?

   Are you get­ting the 404’s in the CP? 

   Also, make sure you dump all the cache in you ‘system/cache’ folder and sub­folders. Then make sure per­mis­sions are 777 on all those folders.

   hmm… they all seem ok. I’ve cleared the data files twice now. The con­trol panel is fine. I think it may be the cache on the laptop. All is work­ing fine on my powerbook. 

   Ah well. I think it’s fine now. I was get­ting 404’s in the CP but that was fixed with my .htaccess 

   Appre­ci­ate your help though. Cheers. 

   P.S: Gave up on the live preview! :)

   Yep, always dump the cache when upgrad­ing EE — they now tell you that in the upgrade notes. 

   My upgrade was seam­less as ever, although feeds stopped work­ing in Bloglines. Now work­ing again though, as is yours. 

   Hurrah. 

   Get to play with the for­ums later (using them for a music site). Fin­gers x’ed.

   @Colly Oooh, speak­ers get­ting EE’d? 

   I haven’t got used to the revampt CP yet.  I’m not sure whether all the show/hide stuff has really helped or not.

   And I can’t wait to get rid of all those gradients.

   Not Speak­ers Jamie, some­thing else ; )

   Yeah, I’m not sure about those gradi­ents either — that’s another thing to add to the list. 

   I’m not used to the show / hide thing yet either — keep for­get­ting to give things cat­egor­ies. I’ll prob­ably have to do a stand alone form if it really begins to get on my nerves.

    The pub­lish page is my main com­plaint as well.  I had a hard enough time get­ting other edit­ors to use the cat­egor­ies when they were on the main page now I find myself for­get­ting to use them myself. 

    The upgrade went fine for me except for the com­ment pages which had some issues.  Paul fixed them pretty quickly though. 

    I think this is the first time I have com­men­ted on an entry Mark, but I’ve been a long time lurker.  I really enjoy you posts.

    Has any­one else found that you get ‘Invalid GET Data’ when try­ing to add a new tab a page con­tain­ing search results? 

    I find the New Tab func­tion _really_ use­ful, but it would be good if we could ‘book­mark’ search res­ults, so for instance cre­ate a new tab entitled ‘Edit Travel’ which would dis­play a page with all entries filtered to only include travel. 

    Might be an con­fig prob on my install though, so I thought I’d post here as it seems a few exper­i­enced EE users are here.

    Jamie — Hi Jamie, pleased you said hello :) 

    Nik — Not only do I get ‘Invalid GET data’ I also get ‘Dis­al­lowed char­ac­ters’ if I try and tab search res­ults. Looks like we’re not sup­posed to do that how­ever use­ful it would be!

    Maybe I’ll raise it as a fea­ture request as I think it would be useful. 

    We’ll see what happens…

    I’ll switch to Small Beer as two Jamie’s in one con­ver­sa­tion is one too many ;) 

    for instance cre­ate a new tab entitled ?Edit Travel? which would dis­play a page with all entries filtered to only include travel.

    Now that would be ‘the shit’.  Con­stantly click­ing edit > fil­ter by…does my nut on sites where there’s any kind of work­flow sys­tem in place. 

    I think I’m gonna go down the route of cre­at­ing a stan­dalone “admin” area.
