Re: [Apc-aa-coders] use alias {eval:<php expresion>}

[Norbert B. <br...@ch...>]

Isn't that dangerous function?
Imagine something like {eval:return DB_PASSWORD}

[Apc-aa-coders] use alias {eval:<php expresion>}

[Adam S. <a.s...@gm...>]

Hello to all

I was trying to construct a eval function for the ActionApps with the
objective to avoid to be constructing specific functions in item.php3
whenever I need one. I use the following syntax

{eval:<php expresion>}

With that purpose, I put in the file stringexpand.php3 the following code

		/*****************************************************************************************************/
	  elseif ( substr($out, 0, 4) == "eval" ) {
	  $parts=split(":",$out);
	  if (isset($debug)) huhl ("function eval is=",$parts[1]);//
	   $valor = QuoteColons($level, $maxlevel, $parts[1]);
	   $valor_eval=eval ($valor);
	  return $valor_eval;
    }
	/*****************************************************************************************************/

The alias works well with simple expressions, like

{eval:$a=5;return $a;}

{eval:$a=5;$b=10;$c=$a+$b;return $c;}

{eval: $b='{text...........5}';return $b;}


but it leaves error to me when use native functions php

{eval: $b=strtolower('{text...........5}');return $b;}

the error that leaves

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in
/home/asocam/public_html/apc-asocam/include/stringexpand.php3(774) :
eval()'d code on line 1

when I use

{eval: $b=5; $a=13; if ($b>$a) {return $b." es mayor";}else {return
$a." es menor";}}

the error that leaves

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting '(' in
/home/asocam/public_html/apc-asocam/include/stringexpand.php3(774) :
eval()'d code on line 1

Some idea to continue advancing?

Adam

[Apc-aa-coders] Changes in AA Subversion and CVS - 2007/05/10

[Honza M. <hon...@ec...>]

Hi,

   I submitted some bigger changes to AA Subversion, so there is the
list of last changes.

   There are a lot of changes in the code - mainly the visual ones. We
made the code more compliant to AA coding standards
(http://actionapps.org/aa/doc/coding.html) and we added also phpDoc
comments to the functions and classes.

   Another big area of changes is AJAX editing {ajax},
{htmlajaxtoggle}, ... which is better and better. However, we still need
to add some functionality there, so please consider {ajax} syntax to be
still experimental at this moment.


Current SVN state: 
   The features are stable, but I'm worry about some typo, which could
be there after the code cleanup. We plan to upgrade our production
server to SVN version next week, so we will see. On our debug server it
works well.

   
Last SVN Changes:

07/05/10 (honzam)
 - much improved AJAX editing - The input types are slowly moved to
   AA_Widget class. Ajax editing currently uses this approach.
   {ajax:<item_id>:<field_id>} allows to display correct input type
   (widget) based on the setting of the field.
   Not all widgets are currently rewritten for using in AJAX editing,
   but there is defined fallback mechanism for all the widgets, so all
   the fields are editable with correct options (including constants,
   slice items selects, ...).
   Also parameters for each widget are moved directly to AA_Widget_*
   classes as AA_Property. It will allow to add new widgets just by
   defining new class (based on AA_ Widget). All will work automatically
   including Param Wizard, ...
 - (mass) Modify content feature of item manager now allows to select
   not only current items or user selection, but also all itmes
   in slice, all trashed items, ...
 - new experimental "named expression" syntax:
      {define:name:expr} and {var:name:parms...}
   The {define:name:expr} must be processed before the {var:name} is
   processed when the page is generated. You can use parameters with
   {var:name:param1:param2:...:...} the expression then will use
   _#1, _#2, ... for each parameter, just like:
     {define:username:My name is#: _#1} and usage {var:username:Joseph}
   You can use it for
      - creating on-line "aliases",
      - passing parameters between nested views,
      - ...
 - it is possible to "group by" using only first 1, 2, or 3, letters
   of the field in views
 - better spam filter in discussions - http links are not allowed
   for some fields (like subject, author, ...)
 - fixed problem with using page scroller on page, which uses slice.php3
   and als[] aliases. The aliases are not lost on other pages, now.
 - storeItem() function now uses $flags array instead of separate
   function parameters, which is easier to maintain.
   The new flag "throw_events" introduced - allows to skip throwing
   event on item insert/update (good for mass import of items)
 - characterset conversion scripts are updated to the latest version,
   which fixes one bug in UTF-8 encoding
 - fixed problem with "call time pass by reference" warning of PHP
 - cookies manipulation javascript functions moved to aajslib.php3,
   so it is accessible also on user pages
           
07/05/09 (honzam)            
 - ActionApps code clean-up.
    - added comments for functions, classes, ...
    - cleaner code used, indentation of 4 spaces used in every
      script,...
    - the sources should be compliant to ActionApps coding standards
      (http://actionapps.org/aa/doc/coding.html)
   Thanks to Lukas Panek.
   
07/04/15 (honzam)           
 - new version of filling items from form - through aa[] array allowing
   multiple items to store at once. The format of the data is following
         aa[i<long_item_id>][modified_field_id][]
   Note:
   First brackets contain
      'i'+long_item_id when item is edited or
      'n<number>_long_slice_id' if you want to add the item to slice_id
                                <number> is used to add more than one
                                item at the time
      modified_field_id is field_id, where all dots are replaced by '_'
      we always add [] at the end, so it became array at the end
   Example:
      aa[i63556a45e4e67b654a3a986a548e8bc9][headline_______1][]
      aa[n1_54343ea876898b6754e3578a8cc544e6][publish_date____][]
 - new AA_Item class which is able to cache items during page display.
   It should reduce number of SQL queries during page creation
 - more time information on SQL queries for debugtime option
 - new class AA_Includer which will automatically include required class
   definitions (user defined actions/functions) for you in the future
   (not finished, yet).
 - some query optimization for GetItemContent()
 - make sure that $_GET, _$POST, $_COOKIES are always unquoted
   (check in init_page.php3)
           
07/03/29 (brazda)          
 - increased max size of val field in active_sessions (to mediumtext)

07/03/06 (honzam)
 - new {formbreaktop:...} and {formbreakbottom:...} commands for
   splitting inputform into parts - the ussage is the same
   as {formbreak:...}, but the tabs are displayed only on top or bottom,
   respectively
 - fixed bug of not working user administration, when all reader slices
   are marked as deleted
 - new possibility to use utf8 encoding in site module
   (en-utf8_site_lang.php3)
   
07/02/28 (honzam)           
 - AA synchronization script in AA Central now is able to synchronize
   two remote slices. It works, but we need UI improvements and testing

07/02/25 (honzam)  
 - started work on Central - the place, from which you can control many
   installed AAs. The first script part is used for synchronization
   of slices across AA installs.
   @see /apc-aa/central
  
07/02/22 (honzam)             
 - better spam checking feature are now implemented in filler.php3
   (anonymous items) as well as filldisc.php3 (discussion comments). It
   is based on the fact, that spammers obviously submits many urls, so
   there is allowed only limited count of links for each field. Four or
   less urls are always OK. More are allowed just for longer comments
   (1 link for 250 characters).
 - ajax methods now uses prototype implementation of AJAX
   @see http://prototypejs.org
 - new experimental possibility for "Selectbox" and "Two Boxes" input
   types to set use item value in conditions. This allows to create
   Selectbox with Related Items where you show only related Items of
   given category of edited field:
     conds[1][place..........1]=1&conds[1][operator]=%
3D&conds[1][value]=_#TOWN_ID_
   _#TOWN_ID is alias in current slice, so only items where
   place..........1 is equal to town of currently edited item is listed
   in the selectbox.
 - new possibility to display not only one "field: of current user from
   Reader Management Slice by {user:address.........}, but you can use
   any AA string with aliases, ... {user:This is my _#FULLNAME}
 - new {htmlajaxtoggle:<toggle1>:<text1>:<toggle2>:<url_of_text2>} used
   for hide/show part of the page (like {htmltoggle}), but the hidden
   code is loaded into the page right after user demand (click)
   It creates the link text1 (or text2) and two divs, where only one is
   visible at the time - first is displayed as default, the second is
   loaded by AJAX call on demand from specified url. The URL should be
   on the same server.
   The /javascript/aajslib.php3 shoud be included to the page by
   (by <script src="">)
   Example:
     {htmlajaxtoggle:more &gt;&gt;:Econnect:less &gt;&gt;:/aboutEcn.htm}
 - new else_text option for {ifset:<condition>:<text>:<else_text>}
   - displayed, when the condition is not empty
 - New {slice:name} function which displays slice name :-)
 - fixed problem with additional newlines in e-mails sent by AA

Re: [Apc-aa-coders] [Apc-aa-general] rewriting actionapps urls

[Michael M. <mi...@gn...>]

Hi Honza

I have checked this and a couple of other bugfixes (esp. when running in=20
fastcgi)  into SVN. I have discovered that the line above also needs=20
stripslashes in order for AA to work with fastcgi. I'll check the fix in.

Re: [Apc-aa-coders] [Apc-aa-general] rewriting actionapps urls

[Honza M. <hon...@ec...>]

Hi Michael,

   You are right, there are additional slashes in the
$QUERY_STRING_UNESCAPED:

        QUERY_STRING_UNESCAPED
                The unescaped version of any search query the client
                sent, with all characters special to the shell escaped
                with a backslash.
                
   So, the solution is to remove it.

   Please send your fix to the SVN. You have the access to it - I
checked the rights right now.

   Honza

Re: [Apc-aa-coders] [Apc-aa-general] rewriting actionapps urls

[Michael M. <mi...@gn...>]

Hi

I think I have found a fix for this but I wonder whether it breaks anything else. 

In some (probably rare) cases AA uses QUERY_STRING_UNESCAPED. In there the brackets of als get escape -- als\[bla\] and teh following parse_str call will ignore the als. 

I have made a change in the function shtml_query_string - util.php3, 162

    $ret_string = ($REQUEST_URI AND strpos($REQUEST_URI, '?')) ?
                            substr($REQUEST_URI, strpos($REQUEST_URI, '?')+1) :
                  ( isset($REDIRECT_QUERY_STRING_UNESCAPED)    ?
                            $REDIRECT_QUERY_STRING_UNESCAPED :
                            stripslashes($QUERY_STRING_UNESCAPED) );

And now it works. Can someone check this / check it into SVN if it's ok. I'm not sure I have SVN access.

thanks

mimo

OK. It would be even better if you add this action only to slices, where
some e-mail field is present.

Re: [Apc-aa-coders] AA bug: _AA_CoLoN_ etc.

[Honza M. <hon...@ec...>]

Hi Norbert,

Strange, it works for us well in php5, so it is probably php4 related
problem.

Special characters are not quoted (replaced by _AA_* strings) on storing
to the database. The text in database is exactly the same, as you type
to the form. The special strings we use during displaying (unaliasing)
AA string.

The unaliasing works this way:

Ex: some text {ifset:{_#HEADLINE}:<h1>_#1</h1>} here
//  say that healdline is "I'm headline (with {brackets})")

1) unalias innermost curly brackets.
It is {_#HEADLINE}, so the by unaliasing this we get:

Ex:  I'm headline (with {brackets})

But we do not want to put such string instead of {_#HEADLINE}, since
then would be the inner most curly brackets the {brackets} string. We do
not want to unalias inside headline text, so we replace all the control
characters by substitutes:

Ex: some text {ifset:I'm headline _AA_OpEnPaR_with _AA_OpEnBrAcE_brackets_AA_ClOsEbRaCe__AA_ClOsEpAr_:<h1>_#1</h1>} here

2) Then we continue with standard unaliasing for inner most curly
brackets, so we get:

Ex: some text <h1>I'm headline _AA_OpEnPaR_with _AA_OpEnBrAcE_brackets_AA_ClOsEbRaCe__AA_ClOsEpAr_</h1> here

3) after all we replace back all the substitutes:

Ex: some text <h1>I'm headline (with {brackets})</h1> here

See: /include/stringexpand.php3 - function QuoteColons()

[Apc-aa-coders] AA bug: _AA_CoLoN_ etc.

[Norbert B. <br...@ch...>]

After upgrade to latest SVN version of AA (under php 4) I see strange
strings like _AA_CoLoN_ or _AA_OpEnBrAcE_, _AA_ClOsEbRaCe_,
_AA_OpEnPaR_, _AA_ClOsEpAr_ displayed in the text of the articles (in
text fields, text areas, etc.).

It seems that these special characters - :, (, ), {, } - are quoted when
stored into database but not unqouted before they are displayed in some
cases. E.g. _#HEADLINE is shown correctly but {headline........} or
{_#HEADLINE} is shown without unquoting (i.e. with _AA_...).

Is that another php 4 bug or is it just "normal" bug?

By now I'm thinking this is a bug in AA. We run  aa-2.10.0

Using my RewriteRule and redirecting to phpinfo displays the correct als. 
Redirecting to view.php3 adds the two backslashes. I think what happens is 
that in case of being called by <!--#include="/apc-aa/view.php3"--> 
ActionApps tries to parse the $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] and gets it wrong for 
some reason.

Re: [Apc-aa-coders] Changes in AA Subversion and CVS - 2007/02/06

[Honza M. <hon...@ec...>]

Hello,

   Norbert Brazda pointed out, that there are some problems with current
SVN version of AA under PHP4.

   The Error looks like:

> Parse error*: parse error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in
> */www/htdocs/apc-aa/include/item.php3* on line *379

   and is caused by code:

return AA_Slices::getSlice($this->getSliceID())->getWidgetAjaxHtml($field=
_id, $this->getItemID(), $this->getAaValue($field_id));

   The problem is, that PHP4 do not allow to use function call as
object, so getSlice(..)->getWidgetAjaxHtml() causes problem. The
solution is to rewrite the code to:

$slice =3D AA_Slices::getSlice($this->getSliceID());
return $slice->getWidgetAjaxHtml($field_id, $this->getItemID(), $this->ge=
tAaValue($field_id));

   There is more than this one occurrence of this problem in SVN. I
didn't noticed the problem, since we are no longer use PHP4 (BTW,
current PHP5 works very well with eAccelerator - al least the versions
we are using). I hope there will not be more such problems, since I
still trying to make AA compatible with PHP4.

   Norbert is currently fixing the problems and he will commit the
changes to the SVN. Thanks Norbert!

   Honza

[Apc-aa-coders] Changes in AA Subversion and CVS - 2007/02/06

[Honza M. <hon...@ec...>]

Hello,

   today I submitted a lot of changes to Subversion and days before also
to CVS.

   The changes in CVS are mainly bugfixes, so the code from CVS should
be "super" stable, right now. We ran this code for months on our
production server. 
  (It was probably last changes commited to CVS. Bye bye, CVS).

   Changes in Subversion are huge. Many code inside AA was rewritten to
use new object approach in order to be more easy extensible (No, packed
ids are still not removed, but it will be next step). Also there are
some new features. However, the code is already quite stable. We are
running this SVN version of AA on our main production server for three
weeks already, we fixed all the bugs we found, so I can say it works. If
there will not be any problems with this version I will regenerate
language files and release it as AA 2.12

   There is need to update database structure using sql_update.php3
script to run SVN version, since the definition of object_* tables is
different a bit.


Current SVN state: 
   Stable - used on Econnect's production server for 22 days
            (PHP 5.2.1-dev, eAccelerator-0.9.6-svn282-dev, MySQL 5.0.27)

Last SVN Changes:

02/06/07 (honzam)
 - new possibility to grant AA permissions to only subset of users from
   Reader Slice. The "Reader Set" is defined by normal conditions, so
   it is extremely powerful - you can use any field of Reader slice
   for it. The conditions are controlled be new AA_Set feature, which
   holds set of conditions and sorts (we will use such "Sets" as named
   conditions to view.php3/slice.php3 in near future). The set is
   defined on "Slice Admin -> Design - Sets of Items".
   The "reader set" works just with LDAP permission system, right now,
   but it is very easy to adapt it also for SQL permissions.
 - image manipulation library phpThumb integrated into AA. You can use
   it by calling /img.php script:
   <img src="/aaa/img.php?src=http://example.com/img/flower.gif&w=150">
   (w=150 means that image will be converted to width=150).
   All the parameters you can see on
   http://phpthumb.sourceforge.net/demo/demo/phpThumb.demo.demo.php
   (just use img.php instead of phpThumb.php in the examples)
   The modified images are cached in <IMG_UPLOAD_PATH>/phpThumbcache/
 - new possibility to define external script as Control File for Site
   Module, so you can give this script to your users without the need to
   give them also rights to edit AA files.
      There are two possibilities, how to control the apc_state
      variable. It could be se in ./modules/site/sites/site_...php
      control file. The control file could be managed only by people,
      who have the access to the AA sources on the server. If we want to
      permit control of the site to extenal people, which do not have
      access to AA scripts directory, then it is possible to them to not
      fill "site control file" in site configuration dialog and then
      call this script from their own file, where the new $apc_state,
      $slices4cache and $site_id will be defined and passed by GET
      method. Just like this:
         $url  = 'http://example.org/apc-aa/modules/site/site.php3?';
         $url .= http_build_query( array(
                   'apc_state'    => $apc_state,
                   'slices4cache' => $slices4cache,
                   'site_id'      => 'ae54378beac7c7e8a998e7de8a998e7a'
                                  ));
         readfile($url);
   See apc-aa/modules/site/sites/external_controlfile_example.php3 for
   more info
 - Basic spam filter solution for discussions. It is based
   on the presumption, that the robots fill all the fields in the form,
   even the hidden ones. filler.php3 then never stores comment, which
   would have "answer" field filled. So if you add say:
      <style type="text/css">
          .skryt { display:none };
      </style>
      <div class="skryt">
        Do not fill, please: <input type="text" name="answer" value="">
      </div>
   to the form, then the comments form is "protected". It works quite
   well, but of course it should be improved in future.
 - stringexpand functions was converted to classes AA_Stringexpand_...,
   which is more flexible and will allow to add new custom syntaxes
   {custom_function:..} in the future.
 - the result of most time consuming stringexpand functions is cached
   now, so if you will use {ids:...} and then again {ids:...} with the
   same parameters during displaying one page, then the database is
   contacted just once. The unaliasing is faster then (thanks to new
   AA_Stringexpand class).
 - new {htmltoggle:<toggle1>:<text1>:<toggle2>:<text2>} which creates
   the link text1 (or text2) and two divs, where only one is visible at
   the time
   see http://www.actionapps.org/en/Syntax
 - new parameter <restict_ids> for
   {ids:<slices>:<conds>[:<sort>[:<delimiter>[:<restrict_ids>]]]}
   see http://www.actionapps.org/en/Syntax for more details
 - better {icq}, {skype}, {jabber} handling
 - speedup of AA unaliasing by better regular expression handling
   (x-times speedup for complicated AA expressions - like forms)
 - new {aggregate:function:ids_string:expression:parameter} which
   operates across set of items. The possible functions are:
     sum, average, concat, count
   parameter is used just for concat (concatenation) as delimiter
   expression could be field_id as well as alias
   (see http://www.actionapps.com/en/Syntax for more details)
 - new {strlen:<string>} alias function (returning length of the string)
 - new parameter "add" for {substr:<string>:<begin>:<length>:<add>}
   alias function. The <add> parameter is added to the returning string,
   but only if the resulting string is shorter than current <string>.
   It is useful if you want to short the headline to max 60 characters,
   and add three dot, in the case the headline is shorted:
      {substr:{headline........}:0:60:...}
 - new {trim:<string>} alias function - removes beginning and ending
   spaces from the <string> - see php trim() function
 - new possibility for {conds:<string>} alias function. Now you can
   create condition based on value of the field (including multivalue):
      {view.php3?vid=9&cmd[9]=c-1-{conds:category.......1}}, where
   {conds:category.......1} is expanded to something like
   '%22Squash%22%20OR%20%22Table%20Tenis%22', which is urlencoded
   "Squash" OR "Table Tenis". This way you can find all people, who have
   at least one common hobby with you.
 - new {constant:<group_id>:<value>:<what>} which allows to get
   the 'Name' of constant in <group_id> for the specified <value>
      say {constant:apc_main_categs_:ENV:name} returns "Environment".
   Default value for <what> parameter is "name", so if you want to know
   the name, then you can omit it.
 - session ids are passed by GET (again) - not by cookies, since there
   was problems with it (the tabs in firefox shares the cookies,
   so multiple tabs uses the same session id, which is still not ok
   for some pages in AA administration.
 - It is possible to specify more than one searchbar default condition
   in profiles, now; code moved to more object oriented - using
   AA_Conditions, ...
 - textareas in AA forms automatically get bigger, if it already
   contains long text
 - admin interface for discussion now contains information about
   IP address of comments writer
 - new possibility to use conds[] and sort[] also for constants used for
   displaying some Input Type. Now you are able to sort the constants
   transparently at the time it is displayed in the selectbox, for
   example. You are also able to display only constants containing
   "Nature", have value bigger than 1000, ...
 - added some classes to discussion output, so it is more skinable, now.
 - better handling of empty search row (change in inner code) in search
   bar
 - added modules/polls to SVN repository - This module allows voting
   on page - it uses "phpPolls" code and it is not completed yet.
   Anyway it is better to have it in the svn in order other can look
   and finish it since Pavel Jisl (original author) is no longer
   available for this work.
 - GUI improvement in view setting - link to view is not in popup
 - Cleanup
    - class names now uses standard naming convention - prefix AA_ and
      name with all first letters in upper case (manager => AA_Manager)
    - global functions now rewritten to static class methods, where
      appropriate (sliceid2name() => AA_Slices::getName())
    - class methods begins with lower caps letter
    - cleanup of QueryZids() parameters - fields are no longer needed,
      as well as other unused parameters
    - new AA_Object, AA_Property, AA_Widget, AA_Fields, AA_File_Wrapper,
      AA_Set classes. Many uses standard AA properties and prepared for
      easy extensibility of the code
    - regular expressions ereg functions replaced by faster preg
      functions, where possible
    - new AA_File_Wrapper class, which is used for accessing local
      as well as remote (http:, ftp:) files
    - new implementation of storable_class - more object oriented, more
      robust. It is based on AA_Object super-parent class and its
      getPersistentProperties() method, which should be overriden in all
      Child classes which want to be persistent. The objects are stored
      to new object tables (object_text, object_integer, object_float).
    - improved valiadion class AA_Validate
    - new javascript AA_Config object storing AA_INSTALL_PATH,
      ... for usage in AA javascripts
 - added "prototype" javascript library to the AA. It have some very
   nice features like function $(), which is shortcut for
   document.getElementById, DOM manipulation functions AJAX, ... We will
   use it intensively in near future.
   see http://www.prototypejs.org/
 - database structure updated - fields in object_* tables renamed to
   match common structure
 - pagecache uses REPLACE command where possible
   (instead of SELECT+INSERT/UPDATE)
 - new optimization functions in AA Optimize
    - Convert no longer used slice.category_sort to slice.group_by
    - Copy Content Table

 - fixed banner parameter and some more fixes in slice.php3
 - fixed problem with some filenames in CSV import
 - small changes and bugfixes in slice export, authentication and
   pagecache
 - fixed database structure to be compatible with MySQL > 4.1
   (binary changed to varbinary)
 - fixed sql permission system, so it works also if crypt() function
   of the system uses Blowfish encryption
 - fixed problems with charsets in AA Admin interface on some systems
   (php 5.2?)
 - the xinha (wysiwyg HTML area) do not report javascript error, now
   (dirty hack, for now)
 - fixed bug in link checking code (used in Links module) - the server
   response wasn't parsed well, when the response text contains
   apostrophe (Italian server responses for 404 uses such character)
 - fixed bug in {math} - now work again

[Apc-aa-coders] AA profiles for groups

[Norbert B. <br...@ch...>]

I have modified AA in CVS so it now support profiles for groups

I needed group profiles in order to set reasonable defaults for 
ReaderManagement users and did not want to set profile for each new user 
(and common profile was not usefull as it sets defaults also for AA 
admins/editors).


There were only small changes in:
    include/profile.class.php3
    admin/se_users.php3

[Apc-aa-coders] Changes in AA CVS, Subversion - 2006/11/13

[Honza M. <hon...@ec...>]

Hi,

    I sent some cleanup changes and new features to Subversion as well
as to old CVS. Since the Subversion code is still not stable enough for
running on production server, I decided to submit fixes also to old CVS.
So, if you want to update your production server, please do it from old
CVS. If you want to check last features of AA, use Subversion.

   Regards,
 
      Honza

           users can't login, do not see constants, ...
         - admin/console.php3 now allows run any php script including calling

[Apc-aa-coders] installing aa from scratch but unable to create super admin

[Sarah Escandor-T. <se...@ap...>]

hi,

i'm trying to install the new version 2.10 but unable to create the
admin user...

it says "can't assign super access permission".... i think the sql
checks the user from the reader management slice but unable to find
one... i'm not really sure where to find the code to correct this.

SELECT DISTINCT item.id as itemid FROM item LEFT JOIN content as c0 ON
(c0.item_id=item.id AND (c0.field_id='headline........' OR c0.field_id
is NULL)) WHERE item.slice_id = 'ReaderManagement' AND ( (
item.status_code=1 AND (item.publish_date <= '1155375000') AND
(item.expiry_date > '1155375000') ) ) AND ( (c0.text = "abbottph") )
ORDER BY item.publish_date DESC -- AA slice_id:
*table* 	*type* 	*possible_keys* 	*key* 	*key_len* 	*ref* 	*rows* 	*Extra*

[Apc-aa-coders] Changes in AA Subversion - 2006/07/27

[Honza M. <hon...@ec...>]

Current SVN state: Unstable 
                  (most features working, but I expect some bugs, there)

Last Changes:

07/27/06 (honzam)
 - moved from CVS to SVN (Subversion)
 - "Modify Content" group operation in Item Manager is improved. It uses
   new AA_Transformation API, so new transformation function could be
   easily added. There is new "Translate" transformation, by which you
   are able to transform one value to one or more values. It works also
   with multivalues. It uses new TabWidgetToggle for parameter setting.
 - New possibility to change URL of uploaded files/images (per slice
   basis). Images was stored with general AA URL for all slices, which
   is not always what you want. Now you can redefine it on slice setting
   page. Not 100% finished, yet.
 - Session IDs are propageted via cookies (if possible - if not, URL
   parameter used - just as before)
 - AA_Slices and AA_Views classes used for slice/view properties,
   where possible. Those classes caches slice/view properties, so it
   reduces number of database calls.
 - Started work on AA_Components class used for plugable classes.
 - Started work on TabWidgetToggle - Widget, which allows you to set
   different parameters for different options in the selectbox above.
   Say you want to inport data from CSV or XML - for both formats
   you have to set another parameters, so you first select the CSV
   and the parameters like "delimiter" apears on the screen
 - Started work on AJAX editing - Proof of Concept - you can use it like
     {ajax:{_#ITEM_ID_}:headline........[:_#HOW2SHOW]}
   which means, that _#HOW2SHOW for _#ITEM_ID_ will be printed inside
   the div and after click on it the textfield for headline........
   is displayed and the field could be directly edited. It works
   in AA Item Manager as well as on public page - you just need
   to attach javascript/ajax.js to your page. It is just experimental
   version, yet.
 - Started work on AA_ChangesMonitor class which will track the field
   changes/history - we are still at the beginning, here.
 - New class AA_Fields holding information the field information
 - New AA_Metabase class which will be used to hold all the informations
   about table structure. It will be additional database abstraction
   layer.
 - New AA_Condition class for conds[] handling
 - aainputfield renamed to AA_Inputfield
   (used new naming convention for AA classes).
 - views class renamed and AA_Views. AA_Views was improved to use static
   class variable to cache the view properties which reduces the number
   of database queries. Static class variable also allows us not to use
   global variables for that cache.
 - grabber class renamed to AA_Grabber, saver class to AA_Saver
   and moved to grabber.class.php3 file

[Apc-aa-coders] Switched to Subversion (svn)

[Honza M. <hon...@ec...>]

Hello,

Today I switched the the main ActionApps repository from CVS to
Subversion (SVN), which was one of the task planed as AA code cleanup.

CVS access is still available, but it is no longer synchronized with
SVN, so there we should commit only bugfixes to current 2.10.0 AA
release. I'm asking developers to patch not only CVS, in such case, but
also svn repository, since this process is not automatic.

The main ActionApps trunk is however in svn repository, where I also
committed first batch of changes which leads forward to AA 3.0 release.
The CHANGES I will send to apc-aa-codes list soon.

The work with svn is very similar to CVS (a bit easier). For checkout
the working copy of AA use the following command:

   svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/apc-aa/trunk aa-svn

To commit changes use:

   svn ci -m 'Repository moved to SVN' CHANGES

If you want to write to svn repository you need the write permission. I
granted the write access to all active developers of AA (hopefully), but
maybe I forgot someone. Feel free to contact me if you want to be AA
developer with svn write access.

   Enabled developers are:
	adunayevich
	ariel_barbosa	
	brazda
	drifter77
	honzam
	marek_tichy
	marphy
	megalinuxpro	
	mimo
	omar_colnodo	
	peptur
	pisanlov
	sarahtomas

              Honza

Re: [Apc-aa-coders] bug: object_text table missing

[Honza M. <hon...@ec...>]

Hi Norbert,

   You are right, I forgot to add the table to the sql_update.php3
script. I'm sorry. Now fixed in CVS (but, not tested yet).


In fact there are three new tables, which is planed to be used as
general object store - something similar as 'content' table. Instead of
fields we will store there object properties.=20

   In case of xmlclient.php3 we are storing there (experimentally, for
now) AA_CSV_Importer object.

   The structure is a bit improved compared to 'content' table - we use
three tables - for each "datatype" one (text, number, float). This
approach do not waste space (in content table we use two columns - text
and number, where only one holds content). Float (real) numbers are
impossible to store in 'content' table for now.

   Honza

   Structure, grabbed from our database=20
   (ignore the last row for each table (ENGINE=3D...))=20
