Maybe the spammers will figure it out eventually, but only if enough sites do it...and I don't see that happening soon. I am thinking of munging the "." too. I am new to php, but somebody suggested that I look in lib-common.php. And I found where other substitutions were being made for html and plain-old-text, and added something like the following in both places: $A['introtext'] = str_replace( '@', '@', $A['introtext'] ); $A['bodytext'] = str_replace( '@', '@', $A['bodytext'] ); This works in the body of stories. I need to find where to do it in the title and in static pages some day. At least in static pages when I enter the munged @ by hand it in by hand it does not get removed! It seemed to get removed in stories. Yes, I need more testing...like comments. I could not find a place to ask for new features on project.geeklog.net.

The workaround is now in CVS. The idea is to add the include path for our local copy of PEAR (in case of $_CONF['have_pear'] = false) _before_ the existing include paths. Of course, that may cause other problems, especially when third-party software comes into play. It seem to work fine with Geeklog alone, though. You can use the following trick if you don't want to install PEAR locally (e.g. because you're running a PHP version that already includes PEAR): Instead of setting $_CONF['have_pear'] = true, set it to false and then set $_CONF['path_pear'] to point to your standard PEAR directory. bye, Dirk -- http://www.haun-online.de/ http://www.macosx-faq.de/ From e at marinx.com Tue Jan 13 19:08:40 2004 From: e at marinx.com (ed) Date: Tue, 13 Jan 2004 16:08:40 -0800 Subject: [geeklog-users] System Messages - Global Modify?

Geeklog lets you override some of the block templates. Specifically, all system / error messages will use a '_msg_block' template (if it exists) so that you could use, say, a red border around them or something. The idea is that you set $_BLOCK_TEMPLATE['_msg_block'] to the template files that should be used instead of the normal block header / footer templates. Check the functions.php file of some of the included themes (clean, for example). That trick is also mentioned in the theme documentation somewhere (docs/theme.html). bye, Dirk -- http://www.haun-online.de/ http://www.haun.info/ From e at marinx.com Wed Jan 14 18:07:09 2004 From: e at marinx.com (ed) Date: Wed, 14 Jan 2004 15:07:09 -0800 Subject: [geeklog-users] Static Pages - Add Images Message-ID: I would like to add these options to Statics Pages: HTML area (easy enough) Browse for Images to add to content What's involved here?

I'm hoping this isn't too much of a noob question, but I haven't been able to figure this out on my own even though it's probably a really easy one, soooo, here goes: 1. How does one go about setting it up so that a new user is automatically added to groups besides the All Users and the Logged-In Users? A couple of the plug-ins I installed have created their own groups and it would be great if new users were automatically added to those. 2. Is it possible maybe instead (or in addition) to add the rights of those groups to the Logged-In Users group? The group editor on the Admin page won't let you, so I'm assuming it's not looked highly upon to do so?

Here is my personal dilemma. Nothing I've seen and tried allows for easy posting of images along with the documentation, nor does it build usable indices of what's being posted. The wiki paradigm works well for geeks, but not for newbies and inexperienced users, who are more used to the tree-based interface to information. As I said in forum, if it ain't easy and pretty, nobody other than a few hard-core will post. And since most of the current documentation is for sysadmins installing GL, and the part about end-users USING GL is missing, seems to me we won't go much farther than what's already been done.

You probably have an error somewhere (most likely a wrong path), but your PHP is configured not to display error messages. In your php.ini, make sure you have error_reporting = E_ALL display_errors = On Then restart your webserver. Since the install script seems to have gone through just fine, you shouldn't need to run it again. Instead, try to call up your Geeklog site directly or try the check.php again and see if it displays any error messages now. bye, Dirk -- http://www.haun-online.de/ http://www.haun.info/ From wfz at wfzimmerman.com Fri Jan 16 13:53:25 2004 From: wfz at wfzimmerman.com (W.

'xml/rss.xml'; (xml/rss.xml is my setting) Lines 375-384 // RSS/RDF feed settings $_CONF['backend'] = 1; // 1 = active, 0 = off $_CONF['rdf_limit'] = 10; // number of stories (10) or hours (24h) $_CONF['rdf_storytext'] = 200; I guess the immediate question would be, if you're gonna go with web interface settings for Stories, Links and Events, why keep the hard-coded part in config.php and why is it just for Stories? Not sure that's consistent. Also, while the Stories seem to be saving an .XML file to the path specified in config.php, the Links and Events do not appear to be saving the info to the files down to file structure. I've searched the entire directory of site for *.xml and do not find them?

It's also recommended that you subscribe to the geeklog-cvs and possibly geeklog-devtalk mailing lists to stay up to date about changes and possible problems. Generally speaking, people using the CVS version should know more or less what they are doing. This is, after all, our development version. Things may or may not work. Other things may change without notice (and that includes database changes). Having said that, we welcome people who try out the CVS version and report back their findings. But you shouldn't really use it on a production site. Technical issues with the CVS version may also better be posted over on the geeklog-devtalk list, as this list (geeklog-users) is meant for discussion regarding the released versions. bye, Dirk -- http://www.haun-online.de/ http://geeklog.info/ From geeklog at daniu.de Wed Jan 21 19:41:11 2004 From: geeklog at daniu.de (Daniel Kopp) Date: Thu, 22 Jan 2004 01:41:11 +0100 Subject: [geeklog-users] remove "past polls" Message-ID: Hi!

The topic editor is really old and is, arguably, one of the most neglected pieces of code. That page should have been updated a long time ago to allow for remote image uploads (similar to image articles or user profile pictures). Anyway, if you have completely seperate Geeklog installations on one server then you will notice that $_CONF['path_layout'] by default is set to $_CONF['path_html'] . 'layout/'. Note that this is where all the template files are stored so tweaking $_CONF['path_layout'] the way you want isn't going to work. Instead you will have to simply move your topic icons for each site into their respective directory.. This if you have SiteA at /path/to/SiteA/ and SiteB at /path/to/SiteB/ then you would put the topic icons in /path/to/SiteA/public_html/images/topics/ for SiteA and /path/to/SiteB/public_html/images/topics/ for SiteB.

It's just that I (and probably nobody) like dead links and I guess many people do not use certain features of geeklog (like polls). At least until a certain point in time. So before that it would be nice not to see the point but after that it should be there. How about exchanging these lines in lib-common: $header->set_var( 'menuitem_url', $_CONF['site_url'] . '/pollbooth.php' ); $header->set_var( 'menuitem_text', $LANG01[73] ); $header->parse( 'menu_elements', 'menuitem', true ); with this: if (!empty ($_USER['username']) || (($_CONF['loginrequired'] == 0) && ($_CONF['pollsloginrequired'] == 0))){ $sql = "SELECT qid,question,voters FROM {$_TABLES['pollquestions']}" .

'/pollbooth.php' ); $header->set_var( 'menuitem_text', $LANG01[73] ); $header->parse( 'menu_elements', 'menuitem', true ); } } To be honest - I do not know exactly what I am doing there - I just checked what makes the message $lang10[17] "it appears ... no polls" appear - so I would appreciate if someone could doublecheck the code *). (had a look at the html which seems to be ok) Is it a good idea to increase the database calls by that?

One is on port 80, and the other handles SSL on port 443. However, if I make any changes as an Admin, those changes are not saved. I suspect the culprit to be the following line in my config.php script: $_CONF['site_url'] = 'http://mydomain'; My goal is to leave normal users on port 80, while redirecting admins over port 443.

Changing the topic ID may result in a few broken links, e.g. when somebody used them in a story. Also, Google seems to follow these links on occasion. There's no real problem with the topic IDs being stored as they are, though. If you change the ID, the old ID in the user's settings will remain there until the next time they change their settings. And since the topic doesn't exist any more, it won't send out any emails for it either. bye, Dirk -- http://www.haun-online.de/ http://mypod.de/
