Yaml / configuration file not found error

Found some bugs in:

/plugins/shahiemseymor/roles/controllers/groups/config_form.yaml
/plugins/shahiemseymor/roles/controllers/groups/config_list.yaml
/plugins/shahiemseymor/roles/controllers/permissions/config_form.yaml
/plugins/shahiemseymor/roles/controllers/permissions/config_list.yaml

Instead of full paths to the config files with ~ or code>@ you can change it to $/shahiemseymor/roles/controllers/groups/config_form.yaml etc. In the last builds (347, 348) of October I'm getting errors because you used code>@ in /plugins/shahiemseymor/roles/controllers/groups/config_list.yaml

Markup accessing page parameters as object or array for OctoberCMS

You can access the current URL parameters via this.param and it returns a PHP array.

Accessing page parameters

This example demonstrates how to access the tab URL parameter in a page.

url = "/account/:tab"
==
{% if this.param.tab == 'details' %}

    Here are all your details

{% elseif this.param.tab == 'history' %}

    You are viewing a blast from the past

{% endif %}

If the parameter name is also a variable, then array syntax can be used.

url = "/account/:post_id"
==
{% set name = 'post_id' %}

The post ID is: {{ this.param[name] }}

Detect iOS in OctoberCMS to differ the script or other resources loads

in the "code" section of the CMS page editor

put in below codes

function onStart()
{
 //Detect special conditions devices
 $iPod = stripos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],"iPod");
 $iPhone = stripos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],"iPhone");
 $iPad = stripos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],"iPad");
 $Android = stripos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],"Android");
 $webOS = stripos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],"webOS");

 $this['isIos'] = false;

 //do something with this information
 if( $iPod || $iPhone ) {
 //browser reported as an iPhone/iPod touch -- do something here
 $this['isIos']= true;
 } else if($iPad) {
 //browser reported as an iPad -- do something here
 $this['isIos']= true;
 } else if($Android) {
 //browser reported as an Android device -- do something here
 $this['isIos']= false;
 } else if($webOS) {
 //browser reported as a webOS device -- do something here
 $this['isIos']= false;
 }
 //var_dump($this['isIos']);
}

then you can call the isIos variables in html section

{% if isIos %}
{% partial "some-partial-for-ios" %}
{% else %}
{% partial "some-partial-not-for-ios" %}
{% endif %}

Instant response for OctoberCMS Flash messages combined with Romanov.Flashmessage plugin (no page reload)

$validation = Validator::make($data, $rules);
 if ($validation->fails()) {
     throw new ValidationException($validation);
 }
 try {
     $user = Auth::authenticate([
         'login' => array_get($data, 'login'),
         'password' => array_get($data, 'password')
     ], true);
 }
 catch (Exception $ex) {
     if (preg_match('/user was not found with the given cred/i',$ex->getMessage())) {
     $flash_message = 'A registered user was not found with that email';
 }
 elseif (preg_match('/hashed credential "password" did not match/i',$ex->getMessage())) {
     $flash_message = 'The password supplied for that user is incorrect';
 }
 }
 if ($flash_message) {
     return ['msgs' => [ 'danger' => $flash_message ], 'options' => [], 'settings' => [] ];
 }

This will replace the error message " user was found to match all plain text credentials however hashed credential "password" did not match." that comes by default with Laravel.
