So I don't have that much control over that setup as I have elsewhere. I found a couple of issues with the HTTP session stuff that annoyed me 1. I usually use the PEAR installed on the server, not the local copy. Since the HTTP sessions are in beta, they are not part of a standard PEAR install and I have to use the PEAR classes that we ship with Geeklog. Something is wrong with our approach here. The PEAR guys are pretty picky (ask Tony), so when they haven't released HTTP session yet, there must be a reason for this. Plus I can foresee the support issues this extra class will cause us. 2. When browsing the site in Lynx, I was asked twice to accept cookies. Once for www.example.com and once for .example.com. The latter is normal - that's for Geeklog's cookies. The former must come from the HTTP sessions class then and it seems to be using a different domain name. Is this configurable in the sessions class? Otherwise, it'll add an extra level of annoyance for people who are picky about cookies (like myself ...). 3. When validating the HTML of my site, the validator complained (and rightly so) about session IDs that were inserted in the HTML! Since the W3C validator, , doesn't accept cookies the session code seems to fall back to using session IDs in the URLs, e.g. .../index.php?topic=music&SessionID=vp4137881690fd2 The problem here is that (as part of a link) it should read & SessionID=... This is actually a configuration issue in php.ini, but on shared web hosting, you often don't have the permissions to change that. Why is the sessions class injecting session IDs in the code anyway? Is this configurable? Overall, I have to say that I'm not too pleased with the current state. I'm actually pretty close to ripping it out of CVS again. I see the potential benefits for using PHP sessions, but something about our current approach seems to be wrong ... bye, Dirk -- http://www.haun-online.de/ http://mypod.de/ From tony at tonybibbs.com Thu Sep 2 17:49:55 2004 From: tony at tonybibbs.com (Tony Bibbs) Date: Thu, 02 Sep 2004 16:49:55 -0500 Subject: [geeklog-devel] Sessions, again In-Reply-To: <20040902221205.26565@smtp.haun-online.de> References: <20040902221205.26565@smtp.haun-online.de> Message-ID: <41379583.4020907@tonybibbs.com> Dirk Haun wrote: > <>Guys, > > I've installed the CVS code on my normal webspace today for the first > time.

The code base for this is small. That said, I can probably get some of the bug fixes I have already implemented into it and re-release it. Another option is to simply write our own session handler which is quite trivial (even for storing stuff in a database). That way you get rid of the PEAR requirement and give lib-sessions a much needed upgrade. Regardless, I think the session handling in Geeklog is archaic at best and needs revamping. Whether we do it here now or in a another release is up to you guys. > <> > 2.

I'm less pessimestic. I think with all the changes and the register_globals stuff we should take our time, call this release 1.4 and move on. In fact, I'd say we could probably have something we haven't had in a while, a beta release. Just a suggestion. I'll work with Blaine on the session stuff and see if we can't get it all ironed out. If you decide to rip it out of CVS, please give a heads up so I can bring a copy down just prior.

Yes, that is true and I have clients that I used PHP SESSIONS in such an environment and they typically do have the infrastructure to support SESSION based files. The number of Geeklog installs that run in such an environment are probally .001%. Are we to not consider moving forward because this and we are not making any core changes to require sessions at this time. I have GL based client plugins that now use sessions and it obviously is a positive development. I personally just think we should include the PEAR library as it's pretty small for now. I want to move forward not backward and we are not making any core changes at this time to require sessions. I suggest adding a $_CONF parm that is off by default. If enabled it will load the PEAR class and initiate sessions. Otherwise - let's use the PHP Sessions - again with the $_CONF parm.

Message-ID: <20040918202801.18866@smtp.haun-online.de> There's an interesting article on Slashdot about a dispute over a piece of code in the Mambo CMS: http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/09/18/1348255 Apparently, one of the Mambo developers made a modification for a customer (and was paid for it). Since he liked that feature, he re- implemented (and extended) it and added it to the Mambo distribution. Now the customer is p*ssed and threatens all the Mambo users(!) with lawsuits and whatnot. Even though the customer is obviously overreacting (and, it seems, wrong), this is something those of us who are doing custom work on Geeklog should be careful about. Please, everbody, check with your customers before you add any custom code to the Geeklog core. bye, Dirk -- http://www.geeklog.net/ http://geeklog.info/ From tony at tonybibbs.com Sun Sep 19 14:00:55 2004 From: tony at tonybibbs.com (Tony Bibbs) Date: Sun, 19 Sep 2004 13:00:55 -0500 Subject: [geeklog-devel] [Fwd: Re: One of Your Web Site.] Message-ID: <414DC957.9050807@tonybibbs.com> Anybody know who this idiot is? --Tony -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: One of Your Web Site.

Have two configuration files. One the normal config.php we are all familiar with. The person installing geeklog should never make changes to this file. The other configuration file would contain things that must be changed and only the configuration options the installer wanted/needed to change. Then the last thing in the normal config.php would be to include the site.config.php file. The changes in the site.config file would override the normal config.php and everything would be good. This has several advantages. To upgrade, normally only minor or no changes would be required to the site config file and the normal config.php would be replaced. No editing required. Most of the paths, which people change when they shouldn't, would remain untouched in the normal config.php. It would remove some of the temptation to mess with them. This would only require the creation of a minimal site.config.php (name it something like site.config.php.example to prevent its overwriting the real site.config.ph) and the include in the normal config.php. Of course you need to place warnings in the config.php to not make any changes in this file. The same idea will work with language files and avert the problem of incomplete language files. Always read the english file and then just overlay it with another language file if wanted. Quick changes to the english file can be made and distributed and it will not break the others. This would only require some simple logic changes in the includes. A minor change that would make things more robust. -- Tom Willett tomw at pigstye.net From vfuria at gmail.com Fri Sep 24 23:32:52 2004 From: vfuria at gmail.com (Vincent Furia) Date: Fri, 24 Sep 2004 23:32:52 -0400 Subject: [geeklog-devel] Minor suggestion for Geeklog In-Reply-To: <20040925003605.M42687@pigstye.net> References: <20040925003605.M42687@pigstye.net> Message-ID: <8319e2d604092420327d6ac7f5@mail.gmail.com> I agree with Tom.

It wouldn't be too difficult to add a comment.moderate or comment.delete access level so that granting a (say Story Admin) access to a story for editing or posting wouldn't necessarily give that user the ability to delete comments.

I've done quite a few for-fee projects and everytime I bring up the question of adding this similar feature back into Geeklog core, the clients are 100% onside. They recognize immediately the benefit of having the modification supported and remove the issue with upgrades. I don't think we can ever be too cautious and getting agreement and understanding up front or soon as it appears to be a solution with wider appeal is key. When doing contract work (developement for hire), I believe the client owns the right to the work product unless contracts say otherwise.

I'm wrong -- I restored the original comment.thtml and it looks the same.  I 
never noticed it because I always looked at it at work on my big monitors.

Vinny,

>Is there a way to override 
 tags to force wrapping?

According to the W3C, user agents "May disable automatic word wrap" for
the 
 element (which, it seems, most of them do).


The CSS2 'max-width' property is meant to let your override this:


However, IIRC, IE6 doesn't support max-width ...

The Professional theme is now in CVS and has been set as the new default
theme in config.php. Thanks again to Victor B. Gonzalez for providing it!

I'm still waiting for a new logo (Simon?). Until then, the one I made has
to do ...

Please report any problems you may find with the theme. It should be
fully HTML 4.01 and CSS compliant, but that also depends on your site's
content. HTML errors in the content of articles or comments or in HTML
provided by plugins are, of course, not the theme's fault ...

The rules on "work for hire" differ between countries. Some countries
assume copyright transfers automaticly to the employer and others assume
that copyrights remain with the author/contractor. It is best to make
clear in the contract who will get the copyright on the modifications
made for hire. (If the employer ensist on getting the copyrights on his
modification, make sure that it is limited to "the work done under this
contract" and doesn't extend to previous and/or later work.)
Another piece of advice: Make clear in the contract that the work you do
"is based on code distributed under the GPL" and that the resulting work
is subject to the GPL.

Pamela says I should put down the disclaimer that "I am not a Lawyer" here;
	Greetings,

	Peter.

The jist of the post is:

"One of the most effective anti-spam measurement is simply not to allow

This would probably only be a couple of lines of code and an additional

Other items on my list:
1:Working with Tom Willet on some changes to the SPAMX plugin and new API.
2: Add autotag support to new "add" comment code

Code to delete images if story has expired is in CVS - index.php
    } else if ($statuscode == STORY_DELETE_ON_EXPIRE) {
        COM_errorLOG("Delete Story and comments: $sid, Topic:$expiretopic, 
Title: $title. Expired :$expire");
        STORY_deleteImages ($sid);
        DB_query("DELETE FROM {$_TABLES['comments']} WHERE sid='{$sid}'");
        DB_query("DELETE FROM {$_TABLES['stories']} WHERE sid='{$sid}'");
    }

How close are we to releasing 1.3.10-rc1?  Is there anything I can do to 
help?

-Vinny

BTW:  The two comment tasks I had are now finished.  Sorry about the
delay, moving was a bigger job than I anticipated.

Vinny,

>How close are we to releasing 1.3.10-rc1?

Pretty close I would say.


>Is there anything I can do to help?

The to-do list is surprisingly short at this point:

- Blaine and Tom are working on a more generic SpamX API
- Someone should fix the PDF generator (either Tony or yourself)
- I've promised Turias some plugin API functions for the phpBBBridge
- I also have to update the language files (I have a script for that :-)

There are 2 bugs that I'd like to be fixed as well:

#174 "Quotes in titles are turned into double htmlentitles"
#243 "adding users by Admin corrupts the database"

The wording on #243 is a bit strong, but it can happen that when 2 Admins
create new users at the same time, they both get the same uid for their user.

These are both unclaimed at the moment ...

No problem, it all took longer than expected.

bye, Dirk

Subject: [geeklog-devel] Image resizing with gdlib
Message-ID: <20040930134510.M38119@pigstye.net>

I was playing with the automatic image resizing using gdlib this morning and 
noticed something wrong.

The image resize works correctly but the link in the article is wrong.  The 
image is converted to png but the article points to the picture as a gif.  
The image is correctly converted to png and resized and resides in the image 
directory, the link is simply wrong.  Here is the debug information:

Thu 30 Sep 2004 08:35:17 AM EST - Debug: File size for 2milmap.gif is 14617 
bytes 
Thu 30 Sep 2004 08:35:17 AM EST - Debug: File, 2milmap.gif is of mime type 
image/gif and IS an image file. 
Thu 30 Sep 2004 08:35:17 AM EST - Debug: in _getImageDimensions I got a 
width of 790, and a height of 423 
Thu 30 Sep 2004 08:35:17 AM EST - Debug: Max allowed width = 300, Image 
width = 790 
Thu 30 Sep 2004 08:35:17 AM EST - Debug: Max allowed height = 300, Image 
height = 423

using gdlib 
Thu 30 Sep 2004 08:35:17 AM EST - Debug: converting GIF to PNG 
Thu 30 Sep 2004 08:35:17 AM EST - Debug: Deleting 
GIF: /var/www/html/images/articles/20040930083457840_1.gif 
Thu 30 Sep 2004 08:35:17 AM EST - Debug: Resizing image, 
factor=0.37974683544304 
Thu 30 Sep 2004 08:35:17 AM EST - Debug: Image, 2milmap.gif was resized from 
790x423 to 300x160 

Am I missing a setting somewhere?

I set config.php to:

$_CONF['image_lib'] = 'gdlib';

and left the rest default.

Running on Fedora Core 2

PHP 4.3.8
Apache 2.0.51 
GD 2.0.23 with gif, jpg, and png support
