I know you just installed buzzword, so I hate to suggest this but... The current "unreleased" version of buzzword 0.9-svn is *much* easier to customize than the buzzword-0.8 series because much of the code is auto-generated. The 0.9 code lacks the planet and links modules, but the blog and especially the gallery are much improved.=20 Unfortunately, upgrading requires a new database (a clean install) because the database schemas aren't compatible. Hopefully, this won't be a huge issue for you because you just installed, but I apologize for the extra work. =20 Anyway, I would encourage you to use the latest code from subversion (revision 743) and make the following modifications: * In blog/schemas/blog_entries.sql, add two database fields for link title and link, for example: `title` varchar(128) NOT NULL default '', `body` longtext NOT NULL, `link_title` varchar(128) NOT NULL default '', `link` varchar(128) NOT NULL default '', PRIMARY KEY (`blog_entry_key`) Be sure to update your database and run utilities/generate_classes after you make this change. * In blog/new-entry.php and blog/edit-entry.php, add appropriate handlers:=20 $blog_entry->title =3D get_request_var('title'); $blog_entry->validate_title(); $blog_entry->body =3D get_request_var('body'); $blog_entry->validate_body(); $blog_entry->link_title =3D get_request_var('link_title'); $blog_entry->link =3D get_request_var('link'); * In smarty/templates/blog/edit-entry.tpl, add fields for link_title and link. * In all the view templates, add HTML to display the link_title and link. Good luck. - Jon --=20 Administrator, tgpsolutions http://www.tgpsolutions.com |

If you are talking about the blog module, point an RSS reader to http://yoursite.com/blog/rss.php.

That's kind of funny, actually. We just replaced mysql_escape_string()
with mysql_real_escape_string() because newer versions of php (like
4.3.8) throw lots of warnings that mysql_escape_string() is
deprecated. =20
You can work around this issue very easily. Open up the
"includes/database.inc" file in your favorite text editor. Go down to
about line 49:
-- original "includes/database.inc" snippet --
/**
* make a string safe for use in a mysql query
*/
function mysql_quote_string($string) {
return "'".mysql_real_escape_string($string)."'";
}
-- snip --
Replace "mysql_real_escape_string" with "mysql_escape_string". =20
-- original "includes/database.inc" snippet --
/**
* make a string safe for use in a mysql query
*/
function mysql_quote_string($string) {
return "'".mysql_escape_string($string)."'";
}
-- snip --
Let us know how it goes! I think I'll go add a compatibility function
now... look for it in latest subversion.

Hello! I just installed buzzword 0.8.13 on a Debian woody system. After creating a config file, buzzword errors out with the following message: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_real_escape_string() in /home/b/bleher/public_html/mirjam/includes/database.inc on line 49 According to the php-doc, mysql_real_escape_string() is only supported from 4.3.0 upwards. Unfortunately I can't update php on this machine. Is there a possibility to work around this problem or does this mean I have to wait for a php update? (I have no php coding experience, so I can't easily create a replacement function) Any help appreciated, Thomas PS: CC would be nice as I have not yet subscribed. |

Is > there anything I should do to start a gallery up? To add photos into a buzzword gallery, all you have to do is FTP or SCP your desired images to /path/to/buzzword/gallery/galleries/MyAlbum on your website. Buzzword will take care of inserting them into the gallery the next time you go to your gallery page. At that point, you can edit the gallery name and add descriptions for your images.=20 Deleting a gallery is just as simple-- just remove the gallery from /path/to/buzzword/gallery/galleries/MyAlbum and Buzzword will sense that it is missing and remove the photos.

I think it'd be really neat to have 'link entries'. Basically, it's a different type of normal blog entry -- all that's displayed is a link and a short description, possibly with different formatting. It's hard to explain, so check out http://www.agblog.com . The webmaster's currently in the middle of updating his site, so parts of it may be b0rked at times, but you can still get the idea of the "link" entries. Specifically look at how 2 consecutive link entries are handled. -Aaron |

Dear Open Source developer I am doing a research project on "Fun and Software Development" in which I kindly invite you to participate. You will find the online survey under http://fasd.ethz.ch/qsf/. The questionnaire consists of 53 questions and you will need about 15 minutes to complete it. With the FASD project (Fun and Software Development) we want to define the motivational significance of fun when software developers decide to engage in Open Source projects. What is special about our research project is that a similar survey is planned with software developers in commercial firms. This procedure allows the immediate comparison between the involved individuals and the conditions of production of these two development models. Thus we hope to obtain substantial new insights to the phenomenon of Open Source Development. With many thanks for your participation, Benno Luthiger PS: The results of the survey will be published under http://www.isu.unizh.ch/fuehrung/blprojects/FASD/. We have set up the mailing list fa...@we... for this study. Please see http://fasd.ethz.ch/qsf/mailinglist_en.html for registration to this mailing list. _______________________________________________________________________ Benno Luthiger Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich 8092 Zurich Mail: benno.luthiger(at)id.ethz.ch _______________________________________________________________________ |

How I envisioned this working was in much the same way as Gallery or some of the other programs deal with movies. The appear inline in the picture gallery either at the end or beginning based on file extension (All files ending in .mov .avi .mpg etc. go at the beginning or end of an album). There are a bunch of icons made up that are used as thumbnails for each filetype. So when the script processes the files, and comes across an avi for eaxample, it says, hey this is not an image, we're not going to run it through imagemagick we'll use this fine thumbnail instead. It doesn't have to do much. When the person clicks on the thumbnail it opens the movie as it would an image. While I agree a allery is usually just for photos, most digital cameras come with the ability to shoot small video clips. A lot of times users will want to include these clips with the rest of the shots from the event. Anyway I realise it's not as simple as I make it sound, especially since I haven't looked at your code so I have no idea how hard it would be to implement. I'm just saying I'm not looking for anything crazy here just a simple way to integrate thos one off movie clips into the gallery. Take care, -John ----- Of course you don't know.

How funny! Today I just committed a request for .mov and .avi support into the buzzword TODO file so I will be doing the groundwork for it very soon. You might want to wait for the release (0.8.10) which will include these fixes and more before you upgrade to 0.8.9. Expect it to come out in the next one or two days. Also, I'll take into consideration anything that might want included with multimedia support. -Brad --=20 Brad Taylor Genome Software LLC http://www.getcoded.net |

When switching from one version of buzzword to another, we recommend backing up includes/header.inc, includes/footer.inc and style.css (if you've modified it) to a separate directory. At this point, you can safely overwrite your current version with the new version of files. =20 However, if you made modifications to any of the core files or module stylesheets, it is vital that you back these changes up as well and apply them to the new version of the file. After updating the files, make sure to copy includes/header.inc, includes/footer.inc and style.css over. Now, navigate to your buzzword installation and use the installer to fill your database username, etc. When you hit submit, buzzword will generate a new config.inc file which you can save to your hard drive and then copy to the path specified in the installer. This is usually the best way to go for more novice users, but Jon and I=20 (the developers) usually will check out a copy from Subversion (find out how to do this at http://jon.tgpsolutions.com/projects/buzzword/downloads/index.php) and use the diff tool to create a patch file which we manually edit and then apply later. If you didn't understand that, the first method is probably for you. Now, specifically for upgrading from 0.8.8, we provided an UPGRADING file in the main distribution which gives some hints on the files that have changed. UPGRADING -- * Upgrading from version 0.8.8 or earlier: * new preference: buzzword_ob_gzhandler; you'll need to update your config.inc =20 * jhead is no longer required if you have PHP compiled with --enable-exif =20 Basically, all this says is make sure to create a new config.inc file using the installer. =20 Thats pretty much it. If you don't mind, when you get buzzword up and running, would you mind if we put a link to your site on our links page?
