[binarycloud-dev] $Debug->Output('session'); ???

[Jason H. <jc...@ey...>]

hi,
i'm curious as to why there is no implicit method in Debug to output all
SESSION VARS.  i've modded my copy of Debug to support this, and can
commit the changes if wanted.

[binarycloud-dev] binarycloud make system

[Jason H. <jc...@ey...>]

this is a general question, but one that has lingered with me from the
beginning.

what exactly is the desired procedure for creating sites under
binarycloud with regard to the make system?

(this of course applies to the future state of BC rather than now)

for example, say i have installed binarycloud in /usr/local/binarycloud,
and i have a few modules installed in /usr/local/binarycloud/user/mod,
etc etc.

now, to create a NEW site, what is the process?

i imagine it's something like this...
- i define several XML files to specify pageDefs, dataSources,
entityDefs, etc etc.
- i run 'make site' or equivalent,
- i copy the build dir to a place to be served by apache
- customize/expand my pages, do extra stuff, post-install stuff here


the need for multiple make targets seems apparent here, though
non-existant at the moment.  alex, could you help enlighten us?

jason,

you can have a look on Lang.php, and many function which use $Debug has not
yet declare it as a globale variable, so inside the function it can't call
anything related to $Debug and the error appare..

[binarycloud-dev] BC_LANG_CHARSET

[jason <ja...@gr...>]

I've just sync'd to the latest CVS, and while inspecting the new stuff,
I came across this error. I haven't traced down the exact problem;
though I hope this is enough information for a fix.

in gPageDef, if Lang == true, then we get an error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in
/usr/local/r2/binarycloud/build/en/binarycloud/core/Lang.php on line 365


This ONLY seems to error on Windows (client) browsers.  I did not get
this error under Linux Netscape.  Setting Lang to false fixed this as
well.

<< snippet from Lang.php >>

 return true;

[binarycloud-dev] reply-to

[Alex B. <en...@tu...>]

hi all,

somehow the reply-to for the list was set back to "poster" so you all might
have responded privately when you meant to respond publicly to some posts. I
have a feeling that's the reason there isn't very much list traffic right
now :)

I've set it back... and later today I'm going to try and complete a roadmap
for development that I've been working on.

best,

Very nice.

Cool...

what do people think of standardizing on that? I need to do a bit of testing
with apache to see how forgiving it will be with urls... we might need to
set up a .htaccess with a default install (and provide virtualhost defs for
those that don't like .htaccess)

[binarycloud-dev] Request class, CGI class, Pathvarinfo

[Andreas A. (Thyrell) <a.a...@th...>]

Hi,

I thought a bit about how to treat the variables passed in search engine
friendly urls.

The CGI class does it like this:

scriptname/moo.boo/foo.bar

(= scriptname?moo=boo&foo=bar)

I like that, and I'm going to modify the request class to parse the request
uri for such param/value pairs.

My intention is to parse the url and provide the var/value pairs in
HTTP_GET_VARS. So you can use the common GetVar() method to access them. The
CGI class makes them available as class properies what I dislike. In the
very nature this are GET vars and they should be provided as GET.

[binarycloud-dev] lil' hiccup installing r2

Hello,

this is what I get trying to install r2:

Could not open file for writing :

does anyone know what it means or if it is important? What looks funny
are the 2 slashes at

/usr/src/r2/binarycloud//build/en/htdocs/prepend.php
                       **

There must be something weird in one of the installation scripts . . .

[binarycloud-dev] Newbie : help please...

[JCM <sym...@on...>]

Hello,


I found out binarycloud which pleased me by its solid building; it seems
to be what I intended to do ;-)
I installed r1 on a Linux Box (SusE 6.4 + patchs) used for an intranet;
configured a vhost for Apache. All's right, but I see errors at the
bottom of each page :

PHP Notice mysql_db_query is deprecated; use mysql_select_db() and
mysql_query() instead file:
/usr/local/httpd/bc/binarycloud/core/base/db/metabase_mysql.php line 112 

PHP Warning Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output
started at
/usr/local/httpd/bc/binarycloud/user/conf/file_permissions.conf:193)
file:
                   
/usr/local/httpd/bc/htdocs/storm/db_admin/dump_tables.php line 49 > 

What should be done ? Do I need to replace metabase package by a more
recent version taken from phpClasses ?
Is the r2 on cvs stable enough to be used now ?

Thanks

JCM, php/mysql work, France

[binarycloud-dev] Whats up next for this week ?

[Andreas A. (Thyrell) <a.a...@th...>]

Hi Alex,

I'm thinking about what I can do for bc this week. From my point of view
(before starting with EntityManager) it would be nice to have at least the
following done:

- make name changes
  *.xml.php => *.php.xml
  conf.* => Configuration.*
  datasources => Datasources.*
  langs.* => Languages.*
  ..
- restructur source tree and prune non used dirs
  as proposed in the "future source tree" mail
- use PHP_COMMAND or similar for calling
  command line scripts with make
- get xml2php working right and delete file that are
  generated by xml2php from source tree.
- hmm what else ?

I can do all this stuff If you like, but I'm not sure how comfortable this
will be for you syncing your internal cvs if I commit the changes to
sourceforge (dirs, renamed files etc)?

Ahh btw there is one another open task. Chaning metabase to support fetching
result meta data properly and commit back to Manuel.

Re: [binarycloud-dev] Request Class / globalize

[Alex B. <tur...@tu...>]

Hey andi,

well, I think in thise case it's unnecessary:
If someone wants user variables registered in the user space, they can
turn on register_globals (probably using a configuration constant I'll set
up) so there's no reason to provide a globalize function.

I'd vote for ditching it.

I just forwarded a mail I got from PHPClasses called CGI.php which (though
I haven't looked at it) seems to have some nice stuff on top of what we
have, specifically parsing out "search engine friendly" urls (i.e. no
?moo=foo, /moo/foo/

Hello,

A new class was added to "PHP Classes" repository.

Name: CGI.php

Author: John Luxford <lu...@si...>

Description:
Inspired by Perl's CGI module, this set of classes aims to separate the
namespaces of GET, POST, and Cookie variables, and to provide a few nice
methods as well for doing things like transforming and parsing "search
engine friendly" links.

URL: http://phpclasses.upperdesign.com/browse.html/package/316

[binarycloud-dev] Request Class / globalize

[Andreas A. (Thyrell) <a.a...@th...>]

Hi All,

does anyone make use of globalize feauture in the Request class? I plan to
remove this if noone needs it.

What it does (if enabled):

If you get a variable form a HTTP_*_VARS array via the GetVar() method this
variable is referenced to the global namespace.

i.e.:

$HTTP_GET_VARS["id"]
$GLOBALS["id"] =& $HTTP_GET_VARS["id"];

In my opinion thats completely useless caus it messes up global namespace
and thats what we want to prevent. What do you think?

hi Gerry,

it exists in r2 (the module 'db') but doesn't currently in r2, though the
code would be quite similar. I suggest you download the r1 tarball and have
a look in user/mod/db.

That version of auth is a placeholder from R1. You're welcome to get it
functional if you'd like but it's far more simplistic than what we have
planned.

The table is created in the same way the database is, with a metabase schema
file.

That would be a single module, a master template isn't necessary for that to
work but would be nice if you'd like to have a banner/nav/etc.

> 4. I am a little confused about the difference between a layout and a
> template.

A layout is a template.

Here's the deal:

    -Master templates are the top-level templates for the page types of a
site. For example, a master template might contain navigation, a logo, a
footer,  etc. and markers that tell pahe where to echo module group output.

    -A Layout template is used to 'layout' modules within a module group.
You probably won't use these that often, but when you need them you'll love
them. Say you have a module that echos a table, and another that echos some
text from a database field - now say you wanted to put... an image
in-between them on the page. But you don't want to add that image to either
module, and it would be stupid to create a module just to get an image tag
in-between these two modules: create a layout.

that make more sense? :)

[binarycloud-dev] Creating a database

[Gerry K. <ge...@mc...>]

Ok, I'm making some progress using bc. Thanks for the suggestions on getting 
started. I have some more questions:

1. What is the process to set up a database? My understanding is the database is 
created using Metabase and a schema.xml file. Where is the code that does the 
actual database creation? Do I have to build that?

2. Authorization uses a bc table to check user's credentials. How does this table 
get created?

3. Let's say I want to create an admin page to maintain tables in a database. The 
admin page is set up in a grid, with each cell containing the markup to maintain 
one table. I did this before by using one PHP page that posts to itself, checking 
to see what submit button is pressed. Based on that, a record may get added, 
deleted, or modified.

Using bc, how might this be implemented, in terms of modules, layouts and 
templates?

4. I am a little confused about the difference between a layout and a template.

TIA,
Gerry
