That sort of defeats the purpose of groups when dealing with large #s of users. Any suggestions on what I could try to fix this?

Well, I surely didn't fix it. ;-) The problem with backslashes exists all over Geeklog. As it's a special character for PHP, it has to be escaped. We had the same problem with the $ sign in earlier releases and that required changes all over the place. So far, nobody had the motivation to do that again.

We have fixed it but GL2 will handle all this stuff in a way that requires no addslashes or stripslashes in the code. The unfortunate implication though, is that when GL2 does come out, old stories may be a bit borked. Before you fret, we may very well try to 'fix' this inside the migration scripts but remember, this is not a trivial fix giving the mess we have. --Tony Dirk Haun wrote: > Alberto, > > >>Have you tried the same with

This is how I currently sync my mailing lists with phpBB forums (as well as my favorite newsgroups). Mailman has the functionality to sync with newsgroups and I also am a part of a FIDO-type network and dump all THAT content into locally-hosted newsgroups as well. And then "newssync" syncs it ALL that content with my phpBB forums. I'm not sure how different the data structure is for the geeklog forums and phpBB forums, but I would be interested in knowing if anyone here thinks that something would be doable for geeklog forums. Although I do some PHP and MySQL work as well as a ton of python and perl work, I just don't believe I am competant enough to tackle something like this (not that I would expect anyone here to do so either). It's just a bit frustrating as I KNOW what I want for my website, but am unable to "get there from here". I've tried wrapping phpBB with various portal front ends, but ultimate I end up thinking to myself "I wish this was more like geeklog". :) Probably not the appropriate forum for spouting off.

This is how I currently : sync my mailing lists with phpBB forums (as well as my favorite : newsgroups). Mailman has the functionality to sync with newsgroups and I I've written up some very light specs, perhaps you can help me flesh it out and we'll start doing some development on it. GOALS: Provide GL admins an interface to manage mailing list and usenet newsgroups, and mirror content into selected forums. - Mailing List Manager / Archiver Provide interface for managing mailing lists for GL members This already exists as a plug-ing (not sure how well developed) and should be integrated into Mailing List Mirror below - Mailing List Mirror Capture and mirror mail from any GL mailing list or any POP mail account into one specific Geeklog forum Allow for bi-directional option to send forum content back to POP mail account - Newsgroup Mirror Capture and archive newsgroup content from any newsgroup 1) START HERE: Look at this code, and COMPARE to 2) to determine how to get best result From: Tony Bibbs http://cvs.geeklog.net/chora/cvs.php/email_connector Read this first: http://cvs.geeklog.net/chora/co.php/email_connector/INSTALL 2) phpBB FUNCTIONAL CODE Look at and open the "newssync" plugin for phpBB - this can sync mailings lists and newsgroups to forums Determine if can easily add newsgroup functionality to #1 in GL Allow for interface to add, edit, delete newsgroups based on phpBB functionality 3) BUILD AS A PLUGIN Follow GL plugin architecture 4) Integrate with Geeklog Mailing List Feature See here for Geeklog mailing list feature I see no presentation layer, or a way to list / search email archives http://gplugs.sourceforge.net/index.php?topic=Plugins_Mailing&menu=Plugins_M ailing If Mailing list is mirrored into a forum, is the forum the only method for searching the 'web mailing list archive' ? Or should there be a separate mailing list archive with mail only in it, not commingled with forum content. (If end-user wants to find info, who cares if there is more content from Forum entries, it's a value add, no?) 5) GL GROUP-BASED SECURITY Ensure ath that Mailing Lists and NewGroup mirrors have: Admin section to allow list, add, edit, delete, assing Groups Permissions similar to the NEWS RSS Feeds interface Member Section to allow subscribe, unsubscrive for mail client, newsgroup client, only display based on security context - what user belongs to Member search interface, only disply results based on security context - what user belongs to REQUIREMENTS Email archive in forums Should support mail attachments and make them visible/downloadable from archive Security context applies to all list, detail, search results views for Admins, Group members, Members, Public users Mail list admin - Trap for duplicate entries Mail List admin - Trap for digests subscriptions and issue warning on convoluted content displays in forumss Presentation Layer - If GL forum mirror of mail / newsgroup content is not a viable presentation method, see http://www.amxfiles.com/wixlist/ for fairly fleshed out example From rocteur at mac.com Sat Nov 22 19:11:35 2003 From: rocteur at mac.com (Jerry Rocteur) Date: Sun, 23 Nov 2003 01:11:35 +0100 Subject: [geeklog-users] emailfromadmin In-Reply-To: <20031122221711.6153@smtp.haun-online.de> Message-ID: <99BAE354-1D49-11D8-88CF-003065E76B5E@mac.com> Thanks heaps Dirk..

Once again congratulations to the development team for doing such a good job, the upgrades were more or less painless and are up and running with very little downtime. Thanks you. For the FAQ: The Upgrade instructions do not include: # For *nix installations the following may be required: chown -R webuser:webuser /path/to/geeklog This guarantees that everything in that path belongs to you, typical settings are www:www or nobody:nobody and more often than not doesn't matter. # For *nix installations cd into /path/to/geeklog and do the following: chmod -R 775 logs/ chmod -R 775 public_html/backend/ chmod -R 775 public_html/images/articles chmod -R 775 public_html/images/userphotos Someone upgrading may not read the installation instructions. Secondly, when you upgrade you have to tell the upgrade program which version you're currently running, it may be an idea to mention in the instructions that you will be asked for your version in order for the program to work and so include something like: egrep VERSION config.php It may be a good idea to ask people to run: There is also a script at http://yourgeeklogsite/admin/install/check.php that can test the permissions for you. Before upgrading or installing, this program was invaluable for me! Thanks again and best regards, I look forward to version 2.
