Reply-To: geeklog-devel at lists.geeklog.net

Okay, so the good news is that I have a job again. And the bad news is -
that I have a job again.

In other words, starting September 15th I will have "slightly" less time
to spend on Geeklog. Of course I don't plan to stop working on Geeklog,
but I will probably not be able to spend too much time on it for a couple
of weeks before things have settled down a bit.

So my idea was to try and get an 1.3.9rc1 out before that date.

I'd like to add a few things to the Content Syndication, need to look
into a few bug reports and update the documentation.

Any other things that should go into this release? Blaine? Simon?

bye, Dirk

Congradulations Dirk, I'm sure you are pleased.

I only hope they pay you well and don't expect more then 8 hours a day and
let you spend time on Geeklog, GL-Pro may even be in their future.
Would we have heard of your new employer ?

Regarding additional features ...
Two small ones right now off the top;

1) Support for double-wide centerblock. Just needs a condition stmt in
index.php and a new template
2) Config option to show the right blocks instead of the whats_related Block
when viewing a story.

What about that block order hack that was submitted to allow an admin to
just click on up/dn arrows to reposition block order.

Blaine

Cut the suspense, what's the job? Where?  Url?

Blaine and I hit a little delay due to contracts, meetings etc.  But I 
imagine we will also be booked around your time frame, I'm off on 
vacation the first two weeks of Oct and will become the invisible man 
when I return.

Blaine will soon wipe out geeklog.ca and install the latest CVS there 
with modules etc.  I'll then complete the GLPro theme on that version 
so as to be in step with your progress in CVS.  Once Blaine gets that 
done, I'll need 2-3 days to crank out the first pass for you guys to 
review/test.  While testing etc is going on I'll begin work on the 
"Designers Guide" for the CSS file so module developers and theme 
developers can crank out modules and themes much more quickly by 
following some moderate standards we outline in this guide.

That gives us 10 days starting today/tonight.

Blaine, any thoughts on when we'll update geeklog.ca?

Dirk, if you don't understand this option then you *will* after I get 
done with glpro.  It's a thing of beauty and allows me to simulate 
sub-topics, menus and just plain hide topics from view which should 
only be accessed from *inside* their main topic.

It's not the sexiest hack, but it's (1) clean, (2) unobtrusive and 
won't affect anyone that doesn't know about it.

I love, personally find I can't live without it.

(from config.php)

// If your server is running PHP 4.3.0 (or newer) then chances are that PEAR
// is already installed and you can leave this as "true".
$_CONF['have_pear'] = true;

Thinking about this some more, it would probably make sense to default
this to "false", so that it uses the bundled PEAR packages by default.
Also saves one step during installation ...

OT just a little, but your post reminded me of something...

I had a buddy install geeklog using mysql 4 and he had problems, 
apparently he had to comment out 3 lines in the installer code which 
were very specific to mysql 3.2xxxx during the install process.

Is this fixed?

Probably not. It's a small company and currently only active in Germany.
The website is <http://www.compart.net/> but it's in German and not very
good (or even complete ...).

The company specializes in software for document conversion and related
fields. Try <http://www.compart.net/ImageArchive-de.html> for some diagrams.

The software's mostly written in C (but with an "object oriented
approach") with some Java and Python thrown in. Time to un-learn some of
my C++ ...

The only downside so far is the commuting - the company's in a city south
of Stuttgart, while I live in the north. On the other hand, that will
give me a chance to read a few of those books that I've been stacking
here for a while :-)

bye, Dirk

We've talked about this one. Okay. The template file will be optional, IIRC?

Yeah, I've seen requests for this. Do you see a chance to integrate the
What's Related block with the others? Just asking ...

That looks interesting. Haven't tried it out yet.


I'll probably find a few minor things when I go through my notes.

Err, no, since this is the first time I hear about this.

There's some code in the install script that tries to figure out the
MySQL version. Is that what's causing the problems? Any more details?
Which version of Geeklog are we talking about?

It was geeklog 1.3.8 from the downloads section - this was last week.

He said that it looks for the version but would come up with 3.2xxx 
even though he had 4.xxx installed.  He wasn't much more precise than 
that. :P

So I assume it was really 1.3.8-1? There was a change in the install
script in 1.3.8-1, that's why I'm asking ...

Hmm, any chance you could get more precise information? Unless the return
format for mysql_get_server_info() has changed with MySQL 4.x, I can't
see how this should have happened ...
