From dirk at haun-online.de Wed Jan 1 10:48:50 2003 From: dirk at haun-online.de (Dirk Haun) Date: Wed, 1 Jan 2003 16:48:50 +0100 Subject: [geeklog-users] Much ado about nothing? Message-ID: <20030101154850.24770@smtp.haun-online.de> Okay, I just have to post something about the unexpected stir that has been caused by the decision to have a closed list for the Geeklog developers only. First of all, I have to say that a few people have blown this completely out of proportion. I mean, it's not that we're discussing our secret plans for world domination in there or something. Take, for example, that comment on the current poll on geeklog.net accusing the developers of being "a bunch of elitists". Erm, excuse me? We're trying to separate support requests and discussions related to development, so that's why the original geeklog-devel list has now been split into geeklog-users and the new geeklog-devel list. And from my experience on Usenet, I know exactly that this will not stop some people from posting their support questions to the devel list "since it's more likely that the developers read it then". Hence the decision for closing the devel list. Both Tony and I are subscribed to the geeklog-users list, btw, and I'm sure the other developers will follow shortly. Obviously, there's demand for a place for other development-related discussions, which we hadn't expected. No problem with this, we're creating yet another list for this (tentatively named geeklog-devtalk). Historically, there has been a closed mailing list for the core developers for some time now. It was introduced when the security issues were found that led to the Geeklog 1.3.5sr1 and sr2 releases. So obviously we, the developers, also need our own little place to discuss issues like that. This is also the reason why the archives for the (new) geeklog-devel list are not currently available. There's a post on that list about someone's site not being secured properly. As Tony already wrote over on the old geeklog-devel list, we're going to make the archives of geeklog-devel available (and/or post daily digests of it). We're not trying to hide anything related to the development of Geeklog - that was never the intention of closing the devel list. We just need places were a) the people involved in the development can discuss technical things like design decisions, implementation details, etc. without those posts being intersparsed with support requests b) things like security issues or other sensitive information can be posted So far, this all happened on the above-mentioned closed core development list. Looks like we need yet another list for sensitive posts then. I can't believe I wrote such a long post about such a minor issue ... Let's hope it helped to dismiss the conspiracy theories. Now, if you would please give us a couple of days to resolve the last issues with setting up all those new lists properly? Then we can all go back to using, developing and supporting Geeklog like we always did. bye, Dirk -- http://www.haun-online.de/ http://geeklog.info/ From hopfgartner at rolmail.net Sun Jan 5 15:16:08 2003 From: hopfgartner at rolmail.net (Peter Hopfgartner) Date: 05 Jan 2003 21:16:08 +0100 Subject: [geeklog-users] Much ado about nothing?

Well, I have to decide for a blog to support for several installations. Geeklog looks good, but: 1) Which developments are currently happenening? I don't know. You keep it for yourself. I mean, I have some responsibility for my customers and I have to take some decisions for what they will have in some months. 2) Closely related: What is Geeklog 2. There some quite generic goals paper, but what is happenening in the development? You keep it for yourself. 2) I would need to apply some changes. First of all, I would like to avoid to set register_globals=Off. I submitted some patches, but there has been absolutely no reactions if this kind of effort is appreciated. You keep it for yourself. My personal interpretation of this situation is: Dear waanabe developers, please keep of. We do not want to tell you what we are doing. We do not want to know your opinion. We do not want your contribution. So in the end I will end looking somewhere else. > > We're trying to separate support requests and discussions related to > development, so that's why the original geeklog-devel list has now been > split into geeklog-users and the new geeklog-devel list.

Indeed, it makes sense to allow only developers for the list. Only people interested in the deveopment should be allowed to post to the list. (Sigh, I've been rejected). > Hence the decision for closing > the devel list.

Right now a few things related to development have been done: 1) A custom PHP4 session handler has been written to store session data in a database that is supported by PEAR::DB (see http://pear.php.net) 2) Work is currently underway on the authentication and authorization system Geeklog 2 will use. 3) Work on supporting the ability to download modules, block and other misc. code from within an instance of Geeklog from a centralized geeklog catalog server is being done (i.e. you can browse and install modules within Geeklog (no need to to go geeklog.net for this)] 4) General work on internationalization needs has been started. We hope to update geeklog.net on GL2 efforts soon. > > 2) I would need to apply some changes. First of all, I would like to > avoid to set register_globals=Off.

Instead you should take it as "developers need a list of their own to talk about development work. If you want to be kept up to date on this join geeklog-devtalk as all digests from geeklog-devel will go there. If you are a non-developer and have questions or concerns related to Geeklog development please use geeklog-devtalk." > > So in the end I will end looking somewhere else.

All questions regarding development efforts from non-developers should be posted to geeklog-devtalk and one or more of us will respond. Maybe I'm missing something but the set-up we have seems to address everybody's needs. Having had this conversation to this point is there some agreement to that? --Tony From dirk at haun-online.de Sun Jan 5 16:53:16 2003 From: dirk at haun-online.de (Dirk Haun) Date: Sun, 5 Jan 2003 22:53:16 +0100 Subject: [geeklog-users] Much ado about nothing?

We have a list of bugs and feature requests (currently still listed on the sourceforge project pages), some of which will be addressed with future releases. There is no grand plan for this - things that are requested often and can be implemented with a reasonable amount of work will be implemented, others may have to wait for Geeklog 2. Unless, of course, someone is willing to contribute code. That has happened occassionally in the past: Tom Willet supplied the categorized links section, Blaine Lang greatly improved error handling on the database backup page, etc. I have to admit that, yes, too much communication has been going on on closed lists in the past. That happened just out of convenience, since we had a list for communication that wasn't intersparsed with requests for help on installation. As has been said before, we're going to change that. Feel free to start development-related discussions on geeklog- devtalk now. We're also planning to post daily digests of geeklog-devel to geeklog-devtalk (doesn't quite work yet - something's wrong in the list setup). On the other hand, you could just pop in on IRC at any time and ask what's going on. >2) Closely related: What is Geeklog 2.

First of all, I would like to >avoid to set register_globals=Off. We have stated repeatedly in the past that we do not plan to make Geeklog 1.3 work with register_globals=off since it would require just too many changes and too much effort on retesting everything. We'll invest that time instead on further developing Geeklog 1.3 and the development of Geeklog 2 (which will be designed to work with register_globals=off from the ground up). >I submitted some patches, but there >has been absolutely no reactions I sent you an answer (on 2002-12-30). Did you not get it? Your patches had (almost) nothing to do with register_globals=off anyway, they just replaced some global debugging variables with constants. Which, of course, is a nicer way of doing things, but not something that is needed to get Geeklog running with register_globals=off. >Indeed, it makes sense to allow only developers for the list.

Subscribe to geeklog-devtalk and start posting ... >I can't really find a precise reason for this split. Much bigger >projects have only one development list, not a class A and a class B dev >list. The problem I see is: How do you separate would-be developers from people who are actually providing input (through code or some other form). I like the concept that Daryll mentioned: People who actually do provide some code will be invited to join the list. We actually do that already - several of the plugin developers are already on the devel list. Again, the idea is not to clutter the devel list. >These kind of things, that happen rarely, could be easily delt with >through private mail. I do not think that hiding the whole developent >discussions helps much. Private mailing to more than one person is awkward - you always tend to forget to put someone on the list of receivers. A security list, geeklog-security at lists.geeklog.net has been set up now. It's hidden from the list of mailing lists but will be listed in the documentation and on geeklog.net as the address to post to in case of security problems. I'd say let's try the current list setup first and see if it works. If it doesn't, we can still change it at any time ... bye, Dirk -- http://www.haun-online.de/ http://geeklog.info/ From dwight at trumbower.com Sun Jan 5 23:34:38 2003 From: dwight at trumbower.com (dwight at trumbower.com) Date: Sun, 5 Jan 2003 23:34:38 -0500 Subject: [geeklog-users] Static URLs Message-ID: <1041827678.3e19075e2bf8f@trumbower.com> I've searched the lists and geeklog.net and haven't found a sufficient answer.

Searching the lists won't help since we couldn't bring them over from SourceForge. This has been a bit of a thorny issue. We haven't tackled this problem to-date because there didn't seem to be a good way to support this for both windows and unix. Furthermore, the amount of change required and all the regression testing that goes with it doesn't help make a convincing argument. Recently a PEAR (http://pear.php.net) package has surfaced that may support this and we plan to look at it and other options for Geeklog 2. Probaby not the answer you want but there is the history for you. Another key is being Google is the most widely used search engine, your Geeklog site will index just fine. Mine does. It's just all the other search engines that cause problems (not that this invalidates your point). So for Geeklog 1.3.x don't hold your breath...but you can probably find it in GL2 if we can find a OS/web server independent way to do this. --Tony dwight at trumbower.com wrote: > > I've searched the lists and geeklog.net and haven't found a sufficient answer. > Is there a way to have the URLs not have parameters in them?

Personally, I'm using it since half a year and I have to say that I really feel comfortably with it (setting work aside, we (PHPaga developers - phpaga.sourceforge.net) switched to PEAR::DB and had encoutered no big issues. Only sequences are slightly delicate when migrating. We decided to switch from pure MySQL to PEAR since we all feel, that PostgreSQL has some features that make our development tasks easier.

I would like to avoid passing stuff, that is functionally a constant, as a function argument. Obviously, these patches are a first step toward avoiding globals, not the whole solution.

Message-ID: Hey all, I would love to setup a site with Geeklog and OScommerce, but hesitate due to the fact that customers would have to log in twice (once on each application - Geeklog and then OScommerce). this is a major turnoff for potential customers. I have lately been researching the CMS bridge application that was recently adapted for use with Geeklog and I think its a fantastic piece of code. Theoretically, it would allow OScommerce to use the login information from Geeklogs database to authenticate the OScommerce customers. This would mean a seamless transition from Geeklog to OScommerce. I would like to tackle bridging OScommerce to Geeklog. Does anyone have any experience with this? Has anyone already done this? Any thoughts? Luke Salsich -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: Is there a way to give geeklog users "dynamic" groups (or categories) that they choose themselves by just clicking on a link? I'm thinking of something like where users could, for example, click on "Mac OS X", "Mac OS 9", "Windows", "Linux" and automatically be part of that group until the next time they click on another group in that set of groups. Or, for a gaming geeklog, there could be a group for "Players" and a group for "Game Masters"; users could switch, on their own, between the groups and get a different view of the same geeklog depending on which category they currently have chosen.

Or, will it stay the same? It strikes me that the current schema could be improved to add a bit more flexibility. Currently, events, links and stories are functionally independent. With the new version of geeklog it may be worth considering each of these as all types of documents (or stories, items) and design a schema around a typed document model. The queries would likely end up a bit more complicated but the benefits would offset the drawbacks. One benefit would be that it make it easier to add certain types of functionality. For example, it would make it easier to make a new link, event, etc a main page story item.

Or, will it stay the same? Obsolutely not. GL2 is a ground up development effort. Our new system will run a variety of databases (pgsql, mysql) and will support things like foreign keys and transactions (something mysql was missing unitl 4.0). We may optionally add stored procedures for databases that select them. The problem is we will need to choose at most two database to actively support and count on the GL2 community to provide support for others. > > It strikes me that the current schema could be improved to add a bit > more flexibility.

Items can be anything in Geeklog (stories, articles, links, blocks, etc). All items have a few things in common (id, status (submission, active, archive, etc), date submitted, submiter ID, security settings, etc. Using this you will be able to thread any item type with any other item type. i.e. you could post a link that then has a poll attached or a comment or a document, etc. You will only be limited by the modules you choose to install. Once we get the initial schema ironed out we'll point you all to it for discussion before we get too far down the development road. > > Just a thought. > /Paul > > > _______________________________________________ > geeklog-users mailing list > geeklog-users at lists.geeklog.net > http://lists.geeklog.net/listinfo/geeklog-users > From tony at tonybibbs.com Tue Jan 14 12:47:16 2003 From: tony at tonybibbs.com (Tony Bibbs) Date: Tue, 14 Jan 2003 11:47:16 -0600 (CST) Subject: [geeklog-users] DBA Wanted Message-ID: Geeklog 2 is in need of a good DBA.

Uncomment that code. 4) Log in and go to account information and set it to email digest nightly 5) go to display preferences and select the topics you want to get email for 6) Test by running the script. NOTE: when testing, the date of the last run of the digest is stored in the vars table. You will need to set the to a time in the past if you want to retest. --Tony On Wed, 22 Jan 2003, Jannetta S Lewis wrote: > Hi Tony > > I don't know if I'm half asleep or what, but I can't seem to find anything > today.

If you add that variable and do a check before you add the body to the message I'd be willing to put the changes into CVS. --Tony On Thu, 23 Jan 2003, Jannetta S Lewis wrote: > Hi Tony > > I have already done it.

You can also have the variable you suggest which would basically allow users to have the option or not. So, if you are worried about the traffic for the site, you switch the option off in config.php and users won't have the choice. I however have two applications for wanting to send the whole body. The first is for a personal site and the second is for a website I might be designing for a client. We both want to be able to send a newsletter to subscribers in a "nice" format, with pictures, as most readers have windows mail clients. We also want the newsletter to appear on the website, where new visitors can see it. I didn't want to re-invent the wheel, but i wanted something fairly lightweight, hence my decision to use Geeklog. For the moment, I have just changed changed COM_emailUserTopics() and it seems to be working fine. I'll start using it for the personal website which is aimed at my family and friends, and see how they like it. Can changes like these be contributed to the Geeklog code, or should I just recommend it and hope the authors like it enough to take it up themselves? I suppose I should now move my questions to the developers list. Jannetta On Thu, 23 Jan 2003, Tony Bibbs wrote: > Yes, probably is worth it.

Message-ID: <20030124031426.12733.qmail@web13908.mail.yahoo.com> Hi, I'm not a member of the list so if you don't mind, please also respond to my email address. I have some ideas about a tool that would be useful to me but I don't know if anything like it is available. I want to keep track of stuff that I do and learn and build something like a big knowledge-base. In this knowledge-base I could put definitions. For instance: Today I learned about Intrusion Detection Systems, IDS's: Network Intrusion detection system An intrusion detection system is a program or programs that monitor network traffic for either known bad behavior or anomalous behavior and report it to some kind of console. NIDS IDS I would really like it if later when I mentioned that I learned about snort which is an open source IDS implementation, it would automagically highlight IDS and provide a link back to the definition because it was a name or alternate name that I had defined. It would be doubly neat if it could do it without foolish looking xml type tags but I think that's a little too much to expect at this point. I am currently using zoph (an open source photo album organizer - http://www.nother.net/zoph/) to organize photos. It's nice but it doesn't allow you to tell a story and intersperse photos at the same time (I think the name for that kind of thing is a photolog). Wanting something like that and realizing that I had forgotten some important things that I should have remebered from last week made me consider something even more elaborate which might be called a "life-log" or something in which you could store all kinds of things (photos, video, text, definitions, impressions, instructions, etc.) I took a look at www.everything2.com and it's similar. I wonder if anyone knows of something like this that I can install on my machine for my personal use (I don't want a site, I would prefer to run it myself like zoph or geeklog.) or maybe geeklog already does it?

Message-ID: hey all, I've been using Geeklog for some time now and really love it. I would like to know if anyone has located a billing/ invoicing mod/hack/block for geeklog users? I need something simple to help users access their monthly bill and to print it, etc. Any ideas, comments or suggestions are welcome!
