Dear Geekloggers,

Has anyone successfully linked a Geeklog forum (I recently installed Geeklog
Forum Project ver 1.0 on news.schoolforge.net and want to link it at least in
one direction, if not two, to a mailing list (schoolforge-discuss). The mailing
list is majordomo, not mailman, if that matters.)

Thanks in advance for any suggestions,

David

Message-ID: <20030203060120.B26481@kinaole.org>

I am trying to install the latest version of geeklog on a debian potato
system.

I had a bit of confusion with the directory structure, as I would like
to run geeklog in a subdirectory of my currect site (till i get used to
using it)

install.php got to the create datebases step (3?) and then reports:

1121: Column 'date' is used with UNIQUE or INDEX but is not defined as
NOT NULL

Not sure what this means in the larger sence, but the install seems to
definitely be hung (20 minutes).

Any advice as to how to proceed?

aloha,
dave

Your version of MySQL is too old. See <http://www.geeklog.net/docs/
install.html#installprob> (sligthly different error message, same problem).

Please note, however, that the second solution mentioned there (to remove
two lines from mysql_tableanddata.php) is out of date. You should really
upgrade your MySQL install or you will run into other problems later. Not
to mention the security issues with MySQL versions older than 3.23.54 ...

The install stopped there - no need to wait.

You can try version 4.  I don't think it is considered a stable release so 
any problems you may have with that version will go unsupported.  If it 
where me I'd simply download the source.

Hi,

Is there any way to add photos and/or albums besides the one at a time 
method? We've got hundreds of pics, and I'm trying to decide if it's 
worth the trouble or maybe I should just link to the existing gallery. 
It's not as nice, but this one at a time thing would take days.

TIA,
Wayne

Please read the MySQL FAQ and manual.  Long story short is your MySQL is 
looking for the .sock file in the wrong place.  You can either reconfigure 
it OR create a symlink.

Good question.  I'd contact the author and ask.  FYI, you should post 
questions like this to geeklog-modules (I cc'd them).

Dear Esteemed Members!

I have been "allowed" to have a webserver at work provided I don't ask 
any support questions and expect them to support it!  My background 
includes mostly Mac, some Windows and have installed Geeklog on Unix 
several times.  FTP, no problem.

I have been provided a MySQL database with password, and "putty" to 
access my server via SSH from the intranet.  I can't find "curl" 
anywhere and it says it is a Free BSD system.  Can someone help me with 
these basic issues of downloading the software onto the server?  I've 
been searching the man pages, online ... and evidently, this info is 
too basic.

Thank you in advance.

So you are trying to access your FreeBSD Box via SSH using putty.exe?  If 
so, explain what you need curl for?  As far as I know, curl is a package 
for socket communication over SSL which is not required by Geeklog.

So, to try and answer the question I think you are asking, go to 
google.com, search for "putty.exe", download it to your windows boxen (to 
your desktop is just fine) and run it.

I'm not sure about accessing the box via a Mac.  I'm assuming it ships 
with it's own SSH client.

Hi art,

Are you saying you're not sure how to get the geeklog files onto the
FreeBSD box in order to start setting it up?

Have you got internet access from the FreeBSD box? If so, just login (ssh
using putty) and use wget or similar to download the latest tarball from
geeklog.net (http://www.geeklog.net/filemgmt/visit.php?lid=101)

Alternatively, have a look in the putty help file for the PSCP and PSFTP.
These enable you to upload files to your server over a SSH connection.

HTH,

R.

Art,

If you can ssh into the server, you can use scp to push files to the
server:

scp ./yourfile.tgz  yourid at server.com:/path/you/want/it/[filename]

works even through a lot of firewalls/proxies

Subject: [geeklog-users] Geeklog newbie question
Message-ID: <000e01c2cc61$aa7b5a60$0d02a8c0@laststand>

Hi all,

I need to determine if Geeklog is the application I'm looking for.

    Is it possible to set up geeklog along with an existing website? I have included my site address at the end of this message.

    What I want to accomplish is the ability to post articles that can be commented on. Ideally, I would also like registered users to be able to post articles as well as links to original article (similar to Lucianne.com)

    Does anyone know of any political/news sites that use geeklog?

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Of course - you can install it in a subdirectory if you want.

Or you could try it out over at opensourceCMS. They have a default
install there that lets you even use the Admin interface:

Geeklog does all that.

Have a look through the links section on www.geeklog.net

Hi all,

I need to determine if Geeklog is the application I'm looking for.

    Is it possible to set up geeklog along with an existing website? I have included my site address at the end of this message.

    What I want to accomplish is the ability to post articles that can be commented on. Ideally, I would also like registered users to be able to post articles as well as links to original article (similar to Lucianne.com)

    Does anyone know of any political/news sites that use geeklog?
 
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone have any code that would allow one to auto-parse plain-text 
postings for urls? Some of my users are requesting this, and I believe 
it would be a great addition to the code base if done properly so as to 
make it easier to post linked content without the knowledge of html.

Thanks,
Kyle

They should have this code some where.  If you find it, post here and 
we'll look at possibly adding it to our code.

Have a look at admin/moderation.php, approx. line 250 ("Hack for
clickable URLs.").

Found it! Based on the GL codebase, wouldn't this function need to be  
used upon time of display and NOT after posting because the posts to  
which this applies are plain-text?

        function magic_url(&$message, $url)
         {
                 global $config;

                 if ($url)

                         $server_protocol = ( $config['cookie_secure'] )

                         $server_port = ( $config['server_port'] <> 80 )  
? ':' . trim($config['server_port']) . '/' : '/';

                         $match = array();
                         $replace = array();

                         // relative urls for this board
                         $match[] = '#' . $server_protocol .  
trim($config['server_name']) . $server_port .  
preg_replace('/^\/?(.*?)(\/)?$/', '\1', trim($config['script_path'])) .  
'/([^\t\n\r <"\']+)#i';
                         $replace[] = '<!-- l --><a href="\1"

What is this function actually modifiying. I posted a plain-text 
article as a simple user and approved it then as a story admin, but the 
url did not change.

It doesn't change anything. It just makes URLs clickable on the Admin's
moderation page, e.g. when someone posts a link or has a link in a story
title.

I thought you were asking for how to parse for URLs so that you could
write the functionality yourself? This regexp does that.

The problem I see is that you either need to parse the story every time
it is displayed or you need to change the story's type from plain text to
HTML (to make the links work) - but that could have unwanted side effects
on other parts of the story.

I'm trying to add phpAds to my header. I have to include 3 files

include ('file'); x3 then call it using the view function in php.

Everytime I add it I get an error. I assume it's because there's not suppose
to be PHP in the .thtml files.

How, can I successfully add this feature to the header??

Thanks

Actually, it should be possible to use PHP in header.thtml (but only there).

What did you try? Which errors do you get?

It might be a better idea to put the includes in the theme's
functions.php file and only have the call to the function in header.thtml.

Dirk,

Here is code that I added:


238	<?php
239	/* advertising code */
240        	include ('myPath/config.inc.php');
241		include ('myPath/view.inc.php');
242		include ('myPath/acl.inc.php');
243
244		view("html", 2);
245   ?>

This is the error that was returned:

"Fatal error: Call to undefined function: view() in
/usr/home0/eyecrave/public_html/lib-common.php(859) : eval()'d code on line
244"

I tried also adding this {site_url} for myPath with no success. I then get a
whole different group of errors.

Thanks,

Shane

Change those to require_once.  This will cause a fatal error if it can't 
find the files in question.  It is obvious that for some reason the 
include isn't happening.

Change those to require_once.  This will cause a fatal error if it can't
find the files in question.  It is obvious that for some reason the
include isn't happening.

Fixed it, I had to add the require_once files to lib-common.php in order for

Esteemed Geekloggers:

Thanks for your assistance with the previous most basic download/upload 
issues with putty ... no problem.  You're great!

Now ... remembering I'm at a government facility with permission to 
have a website provided I don't ask for help!

I've gotten the website up, had to use 777 for the permissions, 
register_globals remains off and I am able to change the info for the 
admin and moderator ... but not submit, edit, or delete stories or 
users.

Our IT department says that turning register_globals on is a security 
risk as clearly documented in the php.ini file, which I have read.  My 
questions are:

1.  Will turning register_globals on allow me to add/modify/delete 
stories/users?
2.  Is there an alternative to changing the php.ini file?  I have 
seen/heard of information about changing the virtual hosts section and 
turning on php.ini for only the virtual host.  I've also heard/seen 
about turning on register_globals in .htaccess ... which I have done, 
but obviously isn't having the affect wanted ... is there an 
alternative way?
3.  Lastly, if there is no alternative way ... I dare not ask the 
question ... but is there an alternative portal/weblogger you wold 
recommend with calendar and all the other good things of geeklog and 
the ability to post articles, etc. you could recommend ... for this you 
can reply privately to me at rdgATaol.com and place "geeklog" in the 
subject so I won't delete it automatically as spam.

Thanks in advance for your help with this newbie.

YES

AFAIK, most weblog packages and, in fact, my PHP programs are trying to 
get around the fact that PHP not ships with register_globals set to Off by 
default.  Geeklog, like many, would have to touch literally every page in 
countless places to bring it up to compliance and with the GL2 effort 
going on it is not slated for 1.3.x to be compliant.

I doubt it works but try this.  At the very top of lib-common.php just 
before the include of config.php:

ini_set('register_globals', '1');

This will attempt to overrride what is in php.ini.

Let's wait and see if the ini_set works before we do anything dumb like 
that ;-)

Subject: [geeklog-users] Install: .thtml up-load errors
Message-ID: <BA6C0E2C.8299%roy@royzemi.com>

Simple questions for a new installation:

1. I'm attempting to up-load a set of files to a server over a slow FTP
link. On install I get the 'Parse error:.....'/'Fatal error:....' errors
that the instructions say is possibly due to file corruption. This might be
an obvious "yes", but could this happen because files have not been
up-loaded in the right ASCII mode? (My FTP client seems to have problems
with the .thtml files so I'm re-uploading 1 set at a time and its taking
forever).

2. Also, this is a rented server and I only have access to the web documents
folder. I do have a CGI-BIN directory which cannot be directly accessed from
a browser (ie "http://xxx/cgi-bin/" alone returns "Access forbidden"). Is it
a problem to put the non- public_html files in this kind of directory or
will it not work?

Thanks

Hello dear list,

I started to implement gl on my site...I am quiet newbie in php/Mysql 
but I am really motivated to get this thing working !I really like the 
concept and gl team is doing a great job...for using it and spread the 
use of it...

Here is my problem :

I installed it like described in intallation_seemed to work fine
fields in database were created
but now I am blocked with a message in my browser :

Parse error: parse error in 
/home/sites/site40/web/public_html/lib-common.php on line 911

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: com_refresh() in 
/home/sites/site40/web/public_html/index.php on line 59

I was told that I might have a problem with a parenthesis quote or 
character floating around line 911
But I never edited the lib-common.php

It looks like this

  // Do variable assignments
     DB_change( $_TABLES['vars'], 'value', 'value + 1', 'name', 
'totalhits', '', true );

     $footer->set_var( 'site_url', $_CONF['site_url']);
     $footer->set_var( 'layout_url',$_CONF['layout_url']);
     $footer->set_var( 'site_mail', "mailto:{$_CONF['site_mail']}" );
     $footer->set_var( 'site_name', $_CONF['site_name'] );
     $footer->set_var( 'site_slogan', $_CONF['site_slogan'] );
     $year = date( 'Y' );
     $copyrightyear = $year;
     if( !empty( $_CONF['copyrightyear'] ))
     {
         $copyrightyear = $_CONF['copyrightyear'];
     }
     $footer->set_var( 'copyright_notice', '&nbsp;' . $LANG01[93] . '

line59        echo COM_refresh ($_CONF['site_url'] . '/index.php' . 
$query);
         exit;
     }
}

Does anyone has an idea how I could sort this out?
I might have done some errors in my config.php
Any help would be really cool!

In advance thanx

Hey all,
 
I am using the chatterblock developed by Blaine (efarmboy) on my site:
www.holylandclan.com <http://www.holylandclan.com>  .Lately, we have been
getting some 'guests' who think its funny to posts swears in the chat. So, I
have set the chatterblock to disable anonymous use. I, as admin, can see the
chat window when logged into the site. However, no other site member can see
the chat window even when they are logged in.
 
Has anyone come across this before? Any ideas on how to fix it? Do I need to
give each user some permission somewhere?
 
Thanks!

Luke

Yes, I noticed this bug before too and have since had to enable anonymous 
posts AND update my censor list.  I can't remember if chatterblock uses 
the GL censorship stuff or if I hacked it in myself but that seems to 
work...

Tony,

Thanks for the reply. The censorship seems to work relatively well, but is
doesn't take them long to figure out that instead of typing in a swear, they
can type in a$$hole, etc and the chat doesn't filter it......I would love to
fix the anonymous user issue as otherwise I think I may have to disable the
chat altogether. Any ideas on how I might do this? 

Luke

Well contact the author and also post this to geeklog-modules since this 
is really a plugin...I'm sure Blaine will resolve this for you in a fairly

The issue here is that you need to create a new users group with the chatterblock.user right and then add those users into this group that you want to have access.

The next question will be: "But I would rather have all logged in users automatically have access"
You can not today modify the rights of CORE GL groups via the group editor and there is no API to update CORE groups to add a new default permission.
This is possibly by updating the SQL tables directly.

Shouldn't the plugin, by default, add chatterblock.user to the logged-in 
member group?  Seems this would handle 99% of the users a step...and you 
can do this all via SQL/PHP in the install/uninstall script with no need 
to mess with the editor.

A good example of this is most plugins I write usually have  new group 
associated with them with all privileges assigned to that group.  I think 
assign that group to Root so, sensibly, root users automatically have the 
rights needed but can be configured in the future otherwise if desired.

The Chatterblock install does add the new rights to the ROOT group - both
for admin and user.
This is fine .. but then modifying any other CORE GL group may not be what
all GL admin's want.

I offerred this feature in the FileMgmt Plugin Admin - to update the
"Logged-in Users" group.

IMHO, the Group Editor should allow this operation.

ok. But im not entirely sure how to add the chatterblock.user rights to a
new group. Obviously, I know how to create a new group, but the only
permission I see available is the chatterblock admin right.

Thanks for the great help!

Yeah, maybe the editor should allow it.  Only issue is by allowing them to 
edit core groups, users can render their site useless which may be OK but 
it will definitely add a few more support issues...

Maybe a config option, $_CONF['groupeditoroverride'] or something would be 
defaulted to false but if people really wanted to edit something they 
could set it to true and get the full group editor...

Message-ID: <04520FC5-3F2A-11D7-AFCF-0030657C3772@embro.homeip.net>

I have just installed Geeklog and am very happy with it. I've really 
had not problems :-)

I have started creating some stories and want to have links within the 
stories ie.downloadable files etc. but I don't seem to be able to 
figure out how to get the html I'm adding to stick.  I added the <a>  
and <a href> to the allowable html for admins but that didn't help 
either.

The documentation doesn't seem to cover this kind of thing.  It really 
only seems to cover installation issues.  Or maybe I just haven't found 
the actual documentation yet. ;-)

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Mark

Did you make sure you selected HTML as the post mode?

If so, send the values for allowed HTML from config.php along.  This is 
pretty standard stuff so we hardly ever get problems like this.

Thanks for the reply.....I am very embarrased....

I got so excited about geeklog I stayed up all night working with 
it....and...i forgot a > after the <a href=.....

Amazing what a little sleep will do for the brain.  Sorry for the 
wasted bandwidth.

I love GeekLog!

Subject: [geeklog-users] Theming Possibilities
Message-ID: <91ADAA89-41D4-11D7-AB20-0003938EB85E@pyramid.net>

I just finished a custom theme for a distributed computing team web 
site. The design rather straight forward with right and left blocks and 
stories in the center. The blocks, however, have a unique background 
that only fits the width of the left and right columns. As all 
administrative pages, user preferences pages, submit pages, etc all use 
the same blockheader.thtml and blockfooter.thtml, I was really in a 
bind as to what to do.

Well, I decided to hack the function calls that built those inner table 
blocks to use a different set of block templates. What surprised me was 
that there was no preference setup in any of those calls. For maximum 
theming capability, wouldn't it be easier to actually call a template 
in those (<50) calls? Even if for now, they called copies of the 
blockheader and footer.thtml files (with different names, of course), 
it would allow theme makers to diversify.

Just a thought,
Kyle

p.s. Check out the team test site:
http://teamtest.the-depths-of-hell.com/geeklog/public_html/

Compare R/L blocks to story blocks, then try and notice that GL's 
original setup would only allow me to have the same block template for 
both the main search block and the left blocks (which would have been 
very ugly). I modified the call to create the search block to include a 
different template:

Are you aware of the "hack" that allows for different left and right
blocks? It's linked from the theme documentation. This may also help here
(see below).

>different template:

I can't access that page without logging in but I guess what you're
trying to do is to use one set of block header/footer for the actual
blocks in the left and right column and another one for the blocks in the
center / content area.

My "Rude Colors" theme uses a variation of the above-mentioned hack to do
exactly that. In the theme's functions.php, use this:

--- snip ---
$result = DB_query("SELECT onleft,name FROM {$_TABLES['blocks']} WHERE
is_enabled = 1");
$nrows = DB_numRows($result);
for ($i = 1; $i <= $nrows; $i++) {
    $A = DB_fetchArray($result);
    $_BLOCK_TEMPLATE[$A['name']] = 'blockheader-lr.thtml,blockfooter-
lr.thtml'; 
}

$_BLOCK_TEMPLATE['whats_related_block'] = 'blockheader-
lr.thtml,blockfooter-lr.thtml';
$_BLOCK_TEMPLATE['story_options_block'] = 'blockheader-
lr.thtml,blockfooter-lr.thtml';
--- snip ---

No need to modify any of Geeklog's core files ...

bye, Dirk

So I could declare another set of block header and footer in the 
theme's function.php file? How do I find out the name of the blocks in 
the center?
$_BLOCK_TEMPLATE[?] = 'cen-content-blockheader.thtml, cen-content- 
blockfooter.thtml';

Go to the links then, to see the different center block html.

Exactly.


>How do I find out the name of the blocks in the center?

Do it the other way around: You can find out the names of the left and
right blocks (see the code I posted), so you can use a different set for
those blocks and the default blockheader.thtml / blockfooter.thtml for
the center blocks.

I have 2 sites, both running Geeklog 1.3.7sr1 and neither one has an RDF file with anything in it. I have double checked all the permissions and the paths in the cfg and everythings fine. I also checked my error log and theres nothing there about it not being able to access the rdf file. Any clues as to what im doing wrong here?

Message-ID: <001701c2d6ec$a1a890c0$6501a8c0@hvc.rr.com>

Hi folks,
This is my first question, and it may be my last. I just installed Geeklog and everything so far is going better than I expected. Very easy install once I got past my $_CONF['path_html'] confusion. Here's my question:
How do I use it? Let me say I know nothing about PHP or RSS or XML or anything too far beyond html. Geeklog looks like it could be very cool and the sites I've seen it used on look fantastic, but I'm having a hard time finding how to use it other than the docs and the overwhelming oodles of info spread out. Is there a palce where I can get step by step info on how to, say, set up a newsfeed? (just an example)
Anyway, hope there's help for a newbie like me.

George,

Glad to hear you gave Geeklog a go.  While Geeklog's documentation isn't 
100% complete it does get most users up to speed quickly but, you are 
right, how to do the common tasks within Geeklog hasn't be documented. It 
think this is due, in large part, to some assumptions we've made about 
what users know.  Most GL admins are half-way tech savy and many have 
already tried using other systems before giving us a try.

Anyway, I realize those assumptions we've made don't always hold so if you 
have specific questions on how to do something, just ask this list and 
you'll likely get answers.

To start, here is how you set up an RSS/RDF/XML newsfeed.

1) find the URL of a newsfeed you want
2) log into Geeklog as an administrator
3) click the 'blocks' link in the administration sectino
4) click 'new block' link
5) enter a title, name for block.
6) select Portal block as the block type
7) in portal block section, add URL from step #1 above to URL field
8) hit save button

That's it,

--Tony

Thanks, Tony,
 I'm finding that by playing with the different functions I can pretty much
figure them out. The newsfeed was easy to set up, thanks. My next question
is do I have to set up a cronjob to get the new headlines each day or is
this done throught the link?
I have an idea what a cronjob is but I need to do some more studying. One
thing is for sure with this, I'm going to learn alot.
Thanks again.
George

Hi.
I am trying to line up the left and right blocks with the featured story text. The left and right blocks line up with each other and the bottom of the header but the featured story text is getting pushed down. When I try and move the header the tables stretch across and I lose the right blocks.

Any help would be great.

Thanks,

I installed gl 1.3.7sr1 last night on my laptop (OS X 10.2.4) and it 
worked great. Today I am trying to move my gl installation to a live 
server (OS X 10.2.4). I moved the gl files to the server, updated the 
owner/group and priv settings, edited config.php and lib-common.php, 
and exported the mysql data from the laptop to the server - all with no 
problems.

The site comes up as expected on the server. I can log in and navigate 
the site except for one crucial thing: I can't add or edit existing 
topics, stories, users, polls, etc.

What did I do wrong?

Seth,

Make sure that you have register_globals turned on on your server.  This
is probably what most often causes this problem.  Let us know if that
works.

Looking at the page source you have a </form> that doesn't correlete to a <form>
element. This is at line 87.


Not sure what you are trying for at line 120 with the following.

<div align="center">
								 <input class="disabled" type="text" name="query2" size="25">&nbsp; <br>
								</div>						</div>

Hi folks,
I'm a little embarrassed to ask this really as it is no doubt something

How do you add a clickable link in a story??

All my stories have links but they aren't clickable :-((

       Ok, here's what I'm trying to do. I made a new topic, "News Feeds". Then I made a new portal block 'In These Times' (which is a newsfeed), then in the 'Topic' dropdown menu in the block editor chose "News Feeds", thinking it would show up when people clicked 'Newsfeeds' in the 'Sections' block. It didn't show up anywhere. Is it that I can't put a block in a block like that? The newsfeed works when it's in it's own block, but I kinda wanted to have more than one newsfeed under the topic Newsfeeds.
      Thanks for your feedback and help.

Does anyone know if there is a block or a hack that will allow an article
to be posted as a review.

Once the article is marked as a review it will still appear on the list
but will also appear in a block as rescent reviews.

Something similar to book reviews available at www.slashdot.org

Thanks!

Subject: [geeklog-users] Setting up individual control over topics
Message-ID: <0A041E3C-4499-11D7-971E-000393B7D972@cs.adelaide.edu.au>

I'm setting up Geeklog for use within a University department. I would 
like to create multiple sections, one for each subject, then give the 
lecturers control over their own sections.

Let's say I have "CompSci 101", "CompSci 102", "CompSci 103" as 
sections... The first problem I noticed was that the Administrator 
cannot assign ownership of topics... I have to give the lecturer Topic 
Admin privs, create the board, then remove the Topic Admin priv in 
order to set the ownership.

The next problem I noticed was that when reviewing story submissions, 
lecturers can see queued stories for other sections, regardless of 
whether they can see those sections in the topic list or not. They 
can't post a story directly to the topic even if they have write access.

If I give them story.submit access, then they can directly submit 
stories to any section whereas the effect I wanted was to have 
submission queue for any section they don't own.

Since there's nothing else that comes close (after 3 months of 
downloading and trying out various weblog/cms programs), I'm still 
intending to go ahead with Geeklog. I'll just have to give the 
lecturers more access than I wanted, and tell them to be careful.

It appears that Geeklog isn't really set up for topic level control of 
users... I suspect the security model is still a work in progress? If 
so, perhaps I can be of help here?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I have the following set up:

	group cs101, nothing selected
	group students, nothing selected

	lecturer1, in group cs101
	student1, in group cs101 and students

	topic compsci101, owned by lecturer1, group cs101, permissions re, r, 
-, -.
	topic students, owned by Admin, group students, permissions re, r, -, -

This creates the behaviour that the student can only see the compsci101 
topic if they're a member of the cs101 group.

What effect does the "e" have? I can't see any difference between 
lecturer1 and student1.

Next problem is that if a student is in cs101, and students... then if 
I give them any extra privileges in students (eg, topic.submit), then 
they also get them in cs101. How do I limit privileges to the 
associated topic area?

I've tried using the "e" permission but I can't see what this does. 
This means that making the topic owned by the lecturer has no effect 
that I can see.

Basically, all the problems stem from each topic needing to be as much 
like an independant weblog as possible. The permission system comes so 
close, but the global nature of the permissions make it so far...

Any help would be appreciated. I need to get this going by next week so 
it looks like it'll be a busy weekend for me...

I think this is what you're asking, let me know if I'm way off:

You're created a topic and you would like multiple news feeds to appear in
blocks when users go to that topic?  This is possible, and in fact pretty
easy to do.

Create the topic (as you already have).  Create the portal blocks with
Topic set to your new topic, type = portal and enabled checked.  Fill out
the other options as desired and fill in the portal block information.

Make sure you have at least one story in the topic you created (otherwise
you will not be able to see the topic page).  Go to the topic page.
You'll probably have to refresh the page once before the newsfeeds show up
because of how geeklog processes portal blocks.

You should see all the portal blocks you made after the load of the topic
page.

I hope this helps,
Vinny

Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.3.96L.1030220092816.6108B-100000@QONOS.ABTECH.ORG>

This is pretty easy to implement by creating a 'review' topic.  Once you
have a review topic, create a php_block that selects the X most recent
stories in the 'review' topic and displays them.  Your php_block function
would look something like this:

function phpblock_recentreviews() {
    global $_TABLES;

    $num_rev = 10; //number of recent reviews to display

    $sql = "SELECT sid,title FROM " . $_TABLES['stories'] . " WHERE "
         . "tid = '<review_topic_id>' " 
         . "ORDER BY date DESC LIMIT $num_rev";

    $results = $do_query($sql);
    $numrows = DB_numrows($resutls);
   
    $retval .= "Recent Reviews<BR><UL>
    for ($i=0; $i<$numrows; $i++) {
       $A = DB_fetchArray($result);
       $retval .= "<LI>" . $A['title'] . "</LI>";
    }
    $retval .= "</UL>";
    return $retval;
}

You'll probably want to improve the above code alot (like by adding
security to the SQL statement and making better output), but it should
give you then general idea.  I'm sure someone already has a block like
this out there...

Good Luck,
Vinny

Thanks Vinny, it does help. I guess tho what I'm looking for would be having
the newsfeeds as storys. Maybe I need to do this with a static page?
I'd like to have three or four different feeds on a page by themselves. I
did what you suggested, and the page didn't show up and now I know it's
because there was no story. But I'd like the feed to act as the story so
people can go to the page and just see the news feeds.
I hope this makes sense and thanks for your help.
On another subject. Does anyone know where a newb can start learning php?
I've used html and am familiar with javascript, so where can I start
learning php?
Thanks again

If you want a page (section) dedicated to news feeds your best best would
be to use the staticpages version 1.2 which supports php pages (or wait
for the next geeklog release which will come with a new staticpages
pre-installed).  

Another option is to simply write your own geeklog page, call it
'news.php' or some such and start from scratch that way (this is how I
would probably do it).  This'll require just a bit more work and
understanding of geeklog though.

Someone might have a staticpage or hack to make a news page already.  I
haven't seen one but you might want to search geeklog.net and/or
squatty.com for possibilities.

If you have programming experience the best way to learn php is to dive
in, by looking at some of the code (geeklog's code works for this).  You
can use the php manual found on php.net to help.

You can find some decent tutorials online if you're starting from scratch
or preferred more structured instruction.  I like the webmonkey tutorials
because they are very clean, but you may like something else.  Try a
google search for 'php tutorial' or the webmonkey php site at:
http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/programming/php/.

There are also lots of decent books out there.  If you're going to get
just one I'd recommend getting a PHP/MySQL book.  Take a look at what's
available at your nearest book store (browse before you buy...).

Good Luck,
Vinny

Hello.  I am a newbie to this list, so I apologize if this has been asked
before.  I noticed there was no search function on the archives.  I was
wondering exactly where function calls are defined as used in the theme
files like header.thtml (those in the curly brackets like {charset} or
{plg_menu_elements}) so that I know what is available and what they do.  I
also need to see where they pull their information from.

Thanks - Shon

Those curly bracket items are template variables, not really functions.  
The code is responsible for replacing those variables with the appropriate 
dynamic HTML output.  So, for example, in header.thtml you see 
{welcome_msg}.  Well, in COM_siteHeader() you'll see a call to 
set_var('welcome_msg', $someStringVariable). It's that code that actually 
replaces what you see.

Yes, that helps very much.  I understand how it is applied now.  You said
that "Well, in COM_siteHeader() you'll see a call to set_var('welcome_msg',
$someStringVariable)", but what file is this defined in?  Is this an
individual theme thing or is this defined somewhere for the entire layout
section reguardless of the theme?  Sorry if I am not getting it?

Thanks

Well, I didn't say security groups. But your suggestion doesn't sound like it would be easy for users to do on the fly. It sounds like a more permanent change.

Is it possible to use that method to provide users with a single link that switches on one topic (i.e., "Mac OS X") and at the same time switches off some but not all other topics (i.e. "Mac OS 9", "Windows", "Linux" but not "General").

That is, I'd like to be able to provide users with the option to, with a single click on the main menu, switch from whatever topics they were viewing + "Mac OS X" (if present) to whatever topics they were viewing, except "Mac OS X" and plus "Mac OS 9". (Or for my other planned site, switch quickly between "Player" and "Gamemaster" to see different articles, but still see articles about gaming in general.)

Yeah, here is something some of you who may dig around in the GL code 
might appreciate:

Function prefixes with COM_ are all in lib-common.php
Function prefixes with SEC_ are all in lib-security.php
Function prefixes with SESS_ are in lib-session.php
Function prefixes with PLG_ are in lib-plugins.php
and, if you are smart
Functions in lib-custom.php will have CUST_ prefixes (with phpblock_ 
functions being the only exception).

I get the following error on the first install.php page:

Warning: You have register_globals = Off in your php.ini. However, Geeklog
requires register_globals to be on. Before you continue, please set it to
on and restart your web server.

However, register_globals is On in my php.ini file.

After clicking "next" on step two, I get a blank page and a warning box
that says:

domain.comadmin could not be found.  Please check the name and try again.

(domain.com actually lists my domain.  there is no space between my domain
name and the word "admin")

If I place an index.html file in /path/to/geeklog/public_html, I see it
just fine.  (and PHP is working fine on the box, have several sites that
use it heavily)

If I point directly to "http://domain.com/index.php", I get a similiar
message like this:

domain.comindex.php  could not be found.  Please check the name and try
again.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

is the right list for this question.  I am trying to alter the appearance of
the XSilver theme and am wondering if anyone on this list knows what font

This is because one of your path variables in config.php doesn't have a

The install script is usually right (i.e. when it tells you that
register_globals is off, then it's really off).

Make sure you edit the correct copy of php.ini (you may have more than
one on your system). You can use http://yoursite/admin/install/info.php
to find out where PHP expect the php.ini if you're not sure.

Also, as Tony already said, make sure you restart your webserver after
changing the php.ini.

bye, Dirk

P.S. The install script itself will work with register_globals=off, but
Geeklog requires it to be on.

Looks like a path problem. Make sure you've set $_CONF['path'] to the
complete, absolute path to your Geeklog directory:

$_CONF['path'] = '/usr/local/httpd/htdocs/geeklog/';

What would most likely be the problem if I can not submit, edit, nor

This is a new install and I can manipulate Topics, blocks, polls, etc.

Thanks for the info.  Perhaps it would be a good idea to check for the
"file_uploads" parameter during the install (since it install already
checks for "register_globals" anyway).  Just my two cents.

Sorry about not gleening this info from the FAQ before posting this
request.

Geeklog is a great product.  I ran Slashcode for quite a while, but, I
think I am now a convert.  :)

Any ideas how I'm screwing up? I just started looking at php so I don't know anything except how to print Hello world so please try to keep it simple for me

This is the proper behavior for the poll.  It sets a cookie based on the polls 
name and only lets you vote for a given poll once in X seconds (X is defied 
in config.php).

It's all working well here. I love this stuff! even makes me want to learn php and mysql and and and... but in the meantime, is there a way to lighten the background in the chatterblock in iframe mode? It's hardly readable. I know I've seen this question before but haven't been able to find it.

I have a question related to this. I never voted in my poll, but once once
someone did all I see now are the percentages, and I never voted! Any ideas
about this?

Sometimes I scare myself. I copied the staticpage infor from the database backup and ran it as a query in phpadmin and guess what... I got it back, exactly as it was before I screwed with it. But I still can't figure out how to install the new staticpage. There was no uninstall info in the readme.

The installation instructions have a lengthy section on what the
public_html is all about and why it's not a good idea to install Geeklog
such that public_html is a part of the URL ...

<http://www.geeklog.net/docs/install.html#preinstall> (starting after the
white block)

Shorter: <http://www.geeklog.net/article.php?story=20020710221415609>

Your alternative is using a redirect, either via a .htaccess file (if
you're on Apache) or via one line of PHP, see <http://www.geeklog.net/
article.php?story=20020531093250947>

Hey all,
 
Is there a way I could adjust the scripting of Geeklog to allow me to
have a 'site' featured story, and then a 'sections' featured stories.
So, on the home page the 'site' featured story would be first, but if a
member clicked on a 'section' link, then that sections featured story
would be first.
 
Any suggestions?
 
Thanks!

MessageMy host upgraded their apache/php stuff over the weekend (so they
told me) and ever since I haven't been able to save/edit/delete stories.
Everything else appears to be working fine, except for stories. If I click
on preview it automatically goes back to the story list. Same thing happens
when I save it.

I can edit polls, blocks, links without a hitch. I've also lost the
formatting. I'd changed the code in the lib-common.php to html instead of
plain text for nl2br. It was working fine - never had a problem until all
this happened. The strange part is in my review section uses the nl2br and
it still works fine.

This isn't possible and it isn't easy to implement either.

The only thing you could to is to set

    $_CONF['showfirstasfeatured'] = 1;

in your config.php. This will display the first story on _any_ page using
the templates for a featured story. But that is probably not what you had
in mind ...

As I understand the problem is Apache 2 / PHP compatibility problems

out.

I can't say I have had any problems editing adding, the problems being 
with add-ons. 

You must make sure the PHP.INI is set up correctly as many default that 
were on in previous verions are now off and this will cause problems, 
well this is what we found anyway.

I will ask our technical side what we altered in php.ini as I am not 100% 
sure, or maybe Tony and Dirk will be able to give a sooner answer.

Actually, I wonder what the supposed "upgrade" was, since both Apache
1.3.22 and PHP 4.1.2 are far from being up-to-date versions ...

 
>which are said to be possibly resolved by PHP 4.5 (I know its not

The PHP developers originally announced Apache 2 compatibility for PHP
4.3. However, it's still marked as being "experimental" in the
documentation for PHP 4.3. I haven't tested it myself, but from what I've
heard, Apache 2 and PHP 4.3 seem to work okay in most cases, especially
when PHP is using the CGI interface (i.e. is not used as an Apache module).

Dirk,

Thanks for the link. I'll get my host to turn on file_uploads as it's set to
no value. I believe that may be what's causing it. As for the formatting
problem with nl2br do you have any idea's why it's not returning properly or
could this be caused by the same thing?

Dirk,

I modified this snippet of code

 // If plain text then replace newlines with <br> tags
    if( $A['postmode'] == 'html' )

from plaintext to html - it's been working fine for about month. Then this
weekend after their change I lost all the formatting. I have to manually
input all the <br> tags again. I can't right now because of the file_uploads
being off.

does that make any sense?

You wrote that you modified something (what exactly?) in Geeklog. Why?

Hmm, do you happen to know what version of PHP they were running before
the "upgrade"?

There was a bug in PHP up until version 4.2.0 (I think) that actually
prevented nl2br() from working in some circumstances. From the phpinfo()
that you posted earlier it seems you are now running on PHP 4.1.2. Is it
possible that your host actually performed a _downgrade_?

On a similar note, I use the frontpage static page; is there anyway to
have this only appear for users NOT logged in? It's sort of a benefits
of membership and welcome blurb, not appropriate if the users is already
a member.
Thanks,

Subject: [geeklog-users] possible to disable user login?
Message-ID: <E258DDCB9B43D6118ED80050042487400A1A8B@TPGMAIL>

I love Geeklog and use it on several sites already. However, I am working on
a new site where I don't want visitors to be able to login or to be given
the opportunity to login. But, obviously I (as admin) would still need to be
able to either login on the site or access the admin properties another way
in order to add new stories, polls, etc. The reason I would like this type
of structure is that I would like to keep the dynamic content and fantastic
look of Geeklog and its themes, but would like it to not offer 'membership'
to the site.
 
Anybody done this or have suggestion son how I might do this? And yes, I
know this is the second tough question I have asked in 24 hours.....sorry.

Luke

Why not simply hide the user functions block from anonymous users (the
user functions block displays the login form when people are not logged
in yet)? As the Admin, you could still log in via http://yoursite/
users.php?mode=login

Also, activate the user submission queue (in config.php) so that people
who register nonetheless don't get access to the site.

This has been discussed on www.geeklog.net before - you may want to do a
search on this.

I scoured the help files first to avoid bothering anybody unnecessarily
and even uninstalled and reinstalled several times from scratch to be sure
that I didn't miss anything obvious.

During the web install --after phase2--I get redirected to a blank page
rather than a log-in.

1) My path names are correct (/home/username/public_html/geek/) both in
the config.php file and lib-common.php file.
2) tables were generated successfully in my MySql database.

Is there anything else I can do?

Most likely a blank line at the end OR beginining of one of your geeklog

- check config.php, lib-common and index.php

Here is the general process for finding templates to edit:

1) Identify  PHP page that shows the forum in question.  In this case, it 
is profiles.php

2) open that page and look for a corresponding function that displays the 
form

3) In that function you will see the .thtml pages loaded.  Look into those 
.thtml pages for the settings you need to tweak.

Just wanted to say that I've been using tech systems for a long time and
have pretty high standards. Geeklog has been a fantastic system for me on
all counts. Its easy to manage, attractive to users, has many bells and
whistles that play an important role in site development. Its obvious to me
that the geeklog developers have put a lot of time into this project and I
wanted to say thanks.
 
THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This error usually occurs when a string (usually one or more lines up from
the line number displayed) isn't properly enclosed in quotes (it either is
missing a quote, has an extra one, or has miss matched quotes).

Look for such a problem.  If you can't find it you can always attach
you're config.php to an email (after replacing passwords, etc) and we can
take a look at it for you. 

You should never have to change anything in lib-database.php.

YOu have some sort of bad PHP in config.php.  Either a missing quote,

Bingo on the blank line...thank you very much.  It's always something
obvious, isn't it?

If I can return the favour anytime let me know.

Subject: [geeklog-users] Wierd timezone issue
Message-ID: <000e01c2dd5f$969fec90$50805c42@mike4m1pit658l>

I applied this timezone hack to my site 

config.php
=======

add line
$_CONF['timezone'] = 'Asia/Kuala_Lumpur';


lib-common.php
==========

add line after 

require_once('/path/to/config.php');

if ( !empty($_CONF['timezone']) 
&& !ini_get("safe_mode")) {
putenv("TZ=".$_CONF['timezone']);
}



Now my site is located on a server in HongKong but I want it to dislay EST. With this hack certain things work and others dont. The geeklog forums run perfectly with the correct time and date. But the posted story times are 12 hours slow, and the events are 12 hours fast. 

Before this hack I had applied the original time hack of adjusting the $stamp = time() but I have gone thru every file and reversed these changes. Anyone got a clue what went wrong, or how I could adjust the events and stories to catch up with the rest of the site?

Hello again.
My web host offers oscommerce. I'm considering enabling it but it adds a directory called 'admin'. I know I'll need to change the admin directories in gl to myadmin or somesuch, but don't know where the changes will need to be made other than config.php. Can anyone give me a quick lowdown on which files I'll need to be changing?

Are there any plans to upgrade the search engine in the GL 1.3.x

but wanted to check on whether this was already being worked on
for a release in the near future or much further out.

in oscommerce 2.2 you can put the admin folder inside the catalog folder.
This is what I did and would recommend that rather than changing the name of
the geeklog admin folder

To quote from config.php:

// Some hosting services have a preconfigured admin directory. In that case,
// you need to rename Geeklog's admin directory to something like "myadmin"
// and change the following URL as well. Leave as is until you experience any
// problems accessing Geeklog's admin menu.
$_CONF['site_admin_url']    = $_CONF['site_url'] . '/admin';


I'm not aware of any problems with this and I'm using it on some of my
sites as well.

bye, Dirk

Geeklog 1.3.8 will introduce some changes to the search. Some of this is
already in CVS. Also check the archives of the geeklog-devel / geeklog-
devtalk mailing lists for previuos discussions.

Hi,

I just installed 1.3.7sr1 (new install) and all seemed well. I created a 
few users for testing. But the account information view is not 
displaying the correct user data. For instance I login as JoeShmoe, and 
everything works (as far as I know) but when I go to account information 
it may show me MarySmith information. Ideas?

Cheers.

I guess this should be our next entry for the FAQ ...

Thanks guys. I found I also had to change the same thing in lib-custom.php
or admin tools wouldn't work.

To quote from config.php:

I installed geeklog with no problems. Now I am trying to format the 
layout a little and was wondering where I reset the site stats and if 
It's possible to make them viewable by only admin?

There's no easy way to reset the stats. The values that are displayed in
the stats are all over the database. There's a total hits counter in
gl_vars, every story and link has its own hit counter, etc.


>It's possible to make them viewable by only admin?

You can configure Geeklog to make the stats only visible by logged-in
users by setting

    $_CONF['statsloginrequired'] = 1;

in config.php. Then, in stats.php, replace

    if (empty ($_USER['username']) &&

with

    if (!SEC_inGroup ('Root') &&

After that change, only members of the Root group will be able to see the
stats.

bye, Dirk

I've gone through that config.php file with a fine-tooth comb.. Either I'm

I'm attaching a slightly edited (for security reasons) config.php file and

Ok, well, I can't figure this thing out. It works well until someone tries to add a stock or change anything. Then it takes up half the screen with lines and throws the page off terribly. I've disabled it for now til I can figure it out. If anybody has had this happen or can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

I recently added the visitor stats plugin and am now having problems with
admin logins.  When admin logs in, I'm getting 1064 syntax error messages.
Oddly, when regular users log in, no such errors.  Any ideas?

Problem fixed itself after I used myPHPadmin to set cookie length back to
zero and reset the admin password.
