I'd rather not support more logging until we get the log viewer working.

Honza asked me to write up tags a bit .....
Here is a first cut, I'll put it in the FAQ once I've answered any
questions this generates.
- Mitra
The concept of Tagged IDS is simple - when we store an id in a
field, we sometimes want to say something about it. the idea came
from the directional/bidirectional links which in fact are not stored
like that, but are used internally to store one or two
uni-directional links.
A tagged id consists of some string followed by 24-32 hex digits. (It
should be 32, but there are some buggy shorter ids due to old bugs in
apc-aa). Typically the string will be a single letter g-zA-Z or a
punctuation character.
Tagged id's may not be supported everywhere yet. They are supported ....
In zids.php3, which means that most other places in the code can
trivially support them transparently.
In the Slice Admin -> Fields you can set a field to Relational
Window, and then use hte parameter wizzard to set which buttons to
use (a set of letters matching the values of the tag), then add an
extra parameter (not yet supported by the wizzard) that refers to a
table.
The table is in the $tps array, defined in itemfunc.php3, if you want
to use anything other than the two standard ones "AMB" (Add, Mutual,
Backwards) and GYR (Good, OK, Bad) then you need to somewhere in
your code do something lke
$GLOBALS[tps][MyTable] => array (
G => array ( prefix => 'Good:', tag => 'x', str => _m("Good") ),
Y => array ( prefix => 'OK :', tag => 'y', str => _m("OK") ),
R => array ( prefix => 'Bad :', tag => 'z', str => _m("Bad") ));
In the Relational window, if you have specified a table, then it will
be shown as buttons - just the ones picked in the second parameter.
THIS USED TO WORK, BUT SOME CHANGE TO THE CODE BY SOMEONE ELSE HAS
BROKEN IT,, AND I DON'T HAVE TIME TO FIX IT.
Note that the "tag" from this field is what is stored.
You can then use this tagged field in many ways, for example it can
form part of a search string, to look for only "Good" links, or you
could use a switch statement to figure out how to use it.
You should NEVER have to write code in your site to strip the tag
away from the value, for example if you pass a tagged id to e.g.
view.php3?vid=123&cmd[123]=x-123-z1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef
then view.php3 SHOULD understand this correctly as refering to item
1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef
A new pseudo-field is created idtag........... contains the tag
anywhere that GetItemContent is used to get the fields (i.e. should
be everywhere). So you can put {switch({idtag...........})x:GOOD}
into your code.

There is no log viewer in AA (except phpMyAdmin). In fact, we currently log only a few events, but it is not problem to support logging on more places.

CVS is not broken. There is just new directory /include/htmlMimeMail. You have to invoke: cvs update -d command. Mention the -d parameter which creates also new cvs directory in your installation. BTW, it is better to run 'cvs update -d' all the time you want to update AA.

A bug in something I did with RSS feeds has shown up a different bug that I think needs fixing - but I'm not sure ..... If expiry_date is NOT set, for example because its not made required in the fields, then various things break, specifically the Item_Manager wont display any item where expiry_date is null, This is because it does a select .... where expiry_date > '$now' This fails if there is no expiry_date, or no publish_date with Active count showing a number, but nothing appear in Item Manager Unfortunately , the reverse is not true, so ..... NOT (expiry_date < '$now') also fails. I've changed it in item_manager to expiry_date > $now OR expiry_date IS NULL which works fine, but haven't committed to CVS. There are other places where expiry_date is tested against now specifically for example ... getxml (and I can't figure out what its doing here) searchlib - I think i can figure this out util.php3:GetItemHeadlines mailman , not clear whats happening here and lots more .... Any comments - does this need changing, ideally people could change it in their own code to save me breaking code I'm not familiar with. - Mitra -- Mitra Technology Consulting - www.mitra.biz - mi...@mi... 02-6684-8096 or 0414-648-0722 Life is a Mystery to be Lived, not a Problem to be Solved |

I'm not sure .... I wrote the zids creator to create a new zids array, Jakub wrote the refill function because he was concerned about the PHP overhead of recreating the object. I don't believe creating new objects is an overhead in PHP - unless of course there is overhead in the constructor, for example to create network connections such as in "new db_AA " I'm not sure how Jakub is using Refill, I can say that none of my code relies on this behavior, I'm always using "new" so its fine to change it for me if it doesn't affect Jakub's code. - Mitra At 3:50 PM +0100 24/3/03, Honza Malik wrote: >Hi Mitra, > > I have a question about zids usage.

Hi Mitra,
I have a question about zids usage. There is refill($initial) zids
method which:
a) clears zids array and assigns new values, if $initial variable is
array
b) adds new zid to array (without clearing), if $initial is single
value
Is it desired behavior (clearing x keeping content) or is it bug?
Honza

Hi, I tried to update doc directory on sourceforge.net, but I haven't permission to this directory. I think it is good idea to create aa directory "group writable" after all cvs checkouts in order other people can do fixes in the code/doc. Last changes are made by Mitra, so Mitra, can you please make it apc-aa group writable? Thanks, Honza |

and ids
- fixed problem, when no file is specified in {include()}
inline alias

warnings messages appering when array is empty in "Two boxes"
input type.
- fixed "Bad include file" problem in 'AA finder', 'Delete
slice', ...
- better debugtimes support in site module
- added functions for clearing zids and adding new elements to
zids
03/20/03 - constants view - added new aliases for description, level,
(honzam) short_id
- added "url" view for list of urls (good for search engines)

We have code that is all over the place

// Overrides GPC variables
if( isset($HTTP_GET_VARS) AND is_array($HTTP_GET_VARS))
for (reset($HTTP_GET_VARS); list($k, $v) =3D =

$$k =3D Myaddslashes($v);
if( isset($HTTP_POST_VARS) AND is_array($HTTP_POST_VARS))

for (reset($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS); list($k, $v) =3D =
each($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS); )
$$k =3D Myaddslashes($v);
}
We could change MyAddSlashes to set the GLOBALS, variables if =
register_globals was off?
Anyway - shouldn't this be an include, since we do it the same way =
almost everywhere? I can see that include/config.php3 is called after =
this but I can't see anything in config.php3 that depends on these =
variable, so we could just call a script, say =
$GLOBALS[AA_INC_PATH]/setvariables.php3 AFTER config.php.
I think the code would also need to handle a few extra variables =
like $DOCUMENT_ROOT becoming $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']
This could be easily done with a Tags-find-replace since we aren't =
changing functionality, only variable names. The hard part is that we =
need to work in the pre 4.2.0 case as well, so it might be best to do it =
all in include/setvariables.php3 e.g.
if somecall(register_globals) { /// Not sure how to test this
$DOCUMENT_ROOT =3D $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']
}

Hi Mitra,
I think you upgraded PHP to version >=3D4.2.0, where PHP =
configuration
directive register_globals is set to OFF by default. Current AA =
runs
only with the register_globals set to ON. We should change the =
code of
AA to use superglobals variables $_GET, $_POST, $_COOKIE, ..., =
but is
uis quite a lot of work. On the other hand, the new settings of =
PHP
(register_globals=3DOFF) is safer, so we should do it.

Mitra, I have fixed this, hope it will work for you. I had similar problems when using the Back button after jumping from Alerts to a Slice - it always moved me to index.php3. My approach is to only change to index.php3 if the requested page does not exist in the module directory. I have added some comment into init_page.php3 near the appropriate code. Your ideas are fine but it is more convenient to have such a code at one place than in every script.

This turns out to be a bug in the code for handling modules, in something Jakub (I think) must have changed recently. (I think while fixing the bug that multiply defines aa_menus) Before I go and fix it I want to check my solution so that I make sure not be break any of your code! The problem is in init_page.php3 around line 225, where init_page looks to see if the last slice type is the same as the current slice type, and then redirects to the initial page for that module type. This is NOT correct, one of the nice features of init_page is that if you call directly to any of the admin pages they will do a login and then run whatever page was called. This new code breaks all that - including in the case I'm worried about, the ability to put a "EDIT ME" button on a page, something used on several of my sites to allow people to edit the content while looking at the site. I thought to just put a test for if the type of last_slice_id was defined, but this doesn't work since if you login on an account where the first alphabetical slice is a module then you need to do this redirect away from index.php3 I think the fix is quite significant, init_page is the WRONG place to be checking slice type, it should be happening IN the page, so for example admin/index.php3 can check if the slice_type is S and otherwise can go to the index page of the module. (This could also be done in itemedit for example, but its less necessary there). I'll go ahead and make the changes if you agree, otherwise please propose a solution so I can fix my sites! - Mitra At 9:13 PM +1100 11/3/03, Mitra wrote: >Any ideas on this? > >Jakub - is this something you changed, I think you were working in >this code recently? > >- Mitra > > >At 7:52 PM +1100 10/3/03, Mitra wrote: >>Hi >> >>Something seems to have changed, >> >>If I go to >>http://www.byronbayfm.org.au/apc-aa/admin/itemedit.php3?edit=1&encap=false&id=b8bfb5b72572cf14f9beb876d0d59046&change_id=c85a4a34ccbe0ce54c4306b5c32373b1&return_url=%2Fdraft.shtml%3Fi%3D26%26apc%3De1-26 >> >>Then I correctly get a login screen, but once I login I get >> >>http://www.byronbayfm.org.au/apc-aa/admin/index.php3?slice_id=c85a4a34ccbe0ce54c4306b5c32373b1&AA_CP_Session=8417cd6e26f9f5b67c88ba6636a81cd5&rXn=1 >> >>I.e. its dumped me into the Item Manager, when I was trying to get >>to itemedit.php3.

Did you figure out what was going on here?

I've fixed (CVS) PageCache so that it only purges once per page, not several times per view. I've done this by making pagecache.php3 create $GLOBALS[pagecache] and everything else uses this. Of course, its still doing things more often than needed, but this is the only way to fix it other than using Honza's cron suggestion. - Mitra At 12:27 AM +0100 5/3/03, Honza Malik wrote: >Hi Mitra, > > I'm sending it also in the list, since other developers could have >some suggestions, too. > >On =DAt, 2003-03-04 at 22:25, Mitra wrote: >> At 3:38 PM +0100 4/3/03, Honza Malik wrote: >> >Hi Mitra, >> > >> >On =DAt, 2003-03-04 at 00:59, Mitra wrote: >> >> Honza >> >> >> >> I'm looking at some of the caching problems - are you able to help a >> >> bit, with understanding things that seem strange to me? >> >> >> >> I'm particularly looking at this with the site module. >> >> >> >> The first odd thing i notice ..... >> >> >> >> Store gets called a lot which is fine, BUT lastClearTime is always 0= , >> >> so it calls purge every time, that makes for 6 extra "DELETE FROM >> >> pagecache WHERE stored < ..." calls on each of my site pages. >> > >> >You are right - the concept of lastClearTime is not good - you never >> >know the lastClearTime. >> > >> >> It looks like this is because each call is with a "new PageCache", >> >> some in GetView and the others in get_output_cached >> >> >> >> I see two solutions to this >> >> 1: Easy: Delete the purge from the store, really purge should be >> >> happening at the retrieval side, not at the storing! >> >> >> >> 2: Remove the "new PageCache" from everywhere, do it once and keep i= t >> >> in a global variable $GLOBALS[pagecache] >> > >> >I think it does not help.

Honza (I've split your message - seperate the purge issues from display-count updates) Thinking about this problem of display-counts, I wonder if the best thing would be to put them in a separate table. I think MOST views don't ever care about that field, so we could then only read that table unless someone uses an alias that requires showing display-count? - Mitra At 12:27 AM +0100 5/3/03, Honza Malik wrote: > > >The best solution, I think, is to call purge() from AA cron.
