Re: [Cctools-cchost] Function split() is deprecated

[Geoff <geo...@gm...>]

 I now believe the error may be with getid3. I did a fresh install ( tried
the command i was worried about and it wanted to delete files in my
_sitenamefiles directory so that no good. I then started to edit the approp
files for split to explode and this time before trying to upload something i
clicked on every link to see if would give an error.

Before the error came while uploading file. I recreated it just by clicking
on ID3 Tagger under manage site... Looking into a solution now

Re: [Cctools-cchost] Function split() is deprecated

[Geoff <geo...@gm...>]

I would be happy to try and do that. I am going to a fresh install, as i
did'nt keep good track of what files i edited. Also I ended up with same
problem as previous person. Decided to take a break and wait for a responce
to my first question. I just went back to try and upload project and I
recieved an error about submit. Thought was just a hickup so i tried again.
Now links that i click on that were working before all say not found on
server -- i.e The requested URL /cchost/submit was not found on this server.
This may not have been caused by error though, i mighta got sloppy and saved
something into .php file on accident somewwhere.

I know the person in archive got the exact same message so i copied and
pasted it


ERROR(2) "/var/www/cchost/cchost_lib/cc-events.php"(222):
Parameter 2 to CCEditorials::OnGetSysTags() expected to be a
reference, value given [DATE & TIME][127.0.0.1][/submit/samples] An
error occurred

I don't really know php but i can usually look at most code and get a little
idea of what is going on, anyone have a fix to this? First reported in Jan
2010

Hi there! The "." in that command line refers to the current working 
directory. So if you "cd" into the ccHost directory, then the "." 
refers to the ccHost directory.

I think that the above would work fine. I think that if it seems to work 
for you, you should submit a patch so that this modification becomes part 
of the next version of ccHost.

[Cctools-cchost] Function split() is deprecated

[Geoff <geo...@gm...>]

Hello,

Before finding the archives of mailing list i searched for an answer to
Function split() is deprecated, but could not find anything specific to
cchost. I did however find elsewhere to use explode and then when i found
the archive (or actually thought to use it) i found someone else post the
use of explode as well.

Anyways, I am now up to editing my third file in cchost   [
cchost_lib/cc-util.php , cc-upload-forms.php  & ccextras/cc-file-props.php ]
and am wondering if there is a list of files that needed to be edited rather
then checking everywhere to see if  an error pops up.

The post in archive mentions


find . -type f | xargs perl -pi -e 's/ split\(/ explode\(/g';


however i was not sure if that was correct solution as it does not even list
the cchost directory anywhere to even search

any ideas on how i can be sure to get all the split() functions out of
cchost

Thank You,
Geoff

[Cctools-cchost] split() -> explode() and strange error on upload

[Dave C. <da...@la...>]

Hi,

I am deploying ccHost on a fresh Fedora 12 machine, and the PHP
packaged with Fedora gives an error on first view of the site,
complaining about split() be deprecated; I found the fix is to replace
it with explode(), which is easy enough:

   find . -type f | xargs perl -pi -e 's/ split\(/ explode\(/g';

But when I go to upload a font I get this error:

ERROR(2) "/var/www/cchost/cchost_lib/cc-events.php"(222):
Parameter 2 to CCEditorials::OnGetSysTags() expected to be a
reference, value given [2010-01-13 22:04
pm][127.0.0.1][/submit/samples] An error occurred

Both the split() and the reference/value thing are in the 5.1 release
and current SVN version.

Cheers
Dave

Re: [Cctools-cchost] Current status of ccHost?

[Victor S. <fou...@gm...>]

http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Cchost/admin/System_Backups#Sharing_Configurations_Between_Machines

Explains how to use the /export and /import command to easily deal with config.

The main code branch is still "live" on ccMixter, ATM has not done the
branch yet. After the branch converting to a index'd table orientation
should be doable considering access to config is all (?) done from one
place, although I would recommend extremely comprehensive testing of
just about every feature.

[Cctools-cchost] Current status of ccHost?

[Dave C. <da...@la...>]

Hi,

The ccHost database has a table, cc_tbl_config, with a lot of
configuation data which is fed in/out of PHP via serialize(). This
makes migrating ccHost instances tricky.

What is the current status of the ccHost codebase? :-)

I'd like to suggest it would be good if the configuration was in a
configuation file that could be edited in a normal way :-)

That fact that index.php is dumping into your browser does not bode
well for your lamp configuration. It could be anything from character
encoding to file types to....

the file you suggested it worked right away.

Howdy,

Actually I think there is something new in php that triggering the
behavior - this has been popping up few times in the last month or so.

There's a new cc-fileverify.php checked in 2 weeks ago that should fix
it. Download from here:

http://code.creativecommons.org/viewsvn/cchost/trunk/cchost_lib/cc-fileverify.php?view=log

and replace it in ./cchost_lib

There should  a bug fix release at some point but for now this should
quiet the error.

It does sound like a bug. Check the cc-tools bug tracker for starters.

If that is no good, there is info about logging errors on the cchost wiki. What I would do is dig out the offending code and have a prod.

I doubt that apache, mysql or php are causing you trouble. My Ubuntu-installed cchost behaved well, but that was 9.04 ;-)

Just to be clear, this just means CC isn't assigning whatever
copyright interest it has in the ccHost code to ATM. Which impacts
nobody -- all use has always been under the GPL, and will continue to
be. It is healthy for a GPL codebase to have multiple copyright

[Cctools-cchost] Shifting Sands

[Victor S. <vic...@gm...>]

CC announced today that they are transferring the operation of
ccMIxter (and ccHost) to ArtisTech Media.

Creative Commons will retain ownership of ccHost and ATM has agreed to
maintain that code which means: fix bugs that its users encounter and
continue the current release schedule of roughly once a year.

All code has a purpose. For ccHost, that is to be a general purpose,
all-media, content management system focused on non-profit uses that
promotes the spread of CC licenses.

Meanwhile, ccMixter is now, officially, a music-only site that is
being taken over by a decidedly for-profit company. Therefore, ATM is
going to fork ccHost so that the operations of the site are not
encumbered by the historical goals of ccHost. This ccMixter fork will
continue to be completely open source under GPL 2.0 and all changes in
the fork that make sense for the main code tree will be ported back.

ATM has offered to keep me on as Director of ccMixter and I've got to
figure out exactly what the means. If I do end up at ATM full time,
that means I'll paying a whole lot more attention to ATM's needs and
only sporadically helping out with ccHost stuff.

This is a big step forward, for sure.

Right now I'm having a nightmare with my rewrite rules, creating nasty 
loops which I cannot fathom. I moved these from a cchost-generated 
.htaccess file into an Apache virtual host, so I'm not working in quite 
the same setup that you describe.

But that's my problem. What I wonder is whether the virtual roots can 
have different pseudo-verifier options?

I'm still on 5.0.1 and all the formats I need to remove are 
pseudo-verified, with the exception of GIF, JPEG, PNG... First 
impressions suggest that the pseudoverifier is global and I will see all 
pseudoverified formats in all virtual roots :-(

Unfortunately, Sourceforge has COMPLETELY changed the way do file

The release RSS feed is not updated and there used to be a way to ping
people on our release mailing list but I can't figure out how to do

I don't think it's a design flaw - that would be a harsh judgement. But 
it'll be a useful enhancement if it does go in to a future ccHost version.

Re: [Cctools-cchost] Making a context-sensitive list of allowed file formats

[Victor S. <fou...@gm...>]

aye - sorry about not responding faster, I've written 3 different
versions of a workaround trying to think of the easiest way (you're
hacking the display won't work because the verifier ignores the
display and files of any type would be accepted).

I finally got it  (it works! - no PHP coding!)

- For the main ('media') virtual root, in admin/formats uncheck
everything but ZIP
- Create a new virtual root in admin/cfgroot called 'submitall'
- In that virtual root, submitall/admin/formats check the formats you
want to allow

Now add the following two rules in .htaccess

RewriteRule ^(media/)?file/add/([0-9]+)$ submitall/file/add/$2 [L,R]
RewriteRule ^submitall/file/manage/([0-9]+)$ media/file/manage/$1 [L,R]

Presto!

What's happening: When a user goes to submit a file in the main vroot,
they will only see ZIP and that will be what the verifier sees. When
they go to 'add/files' the browser will re-direct them to the virtual
root that allows more file types. The add/files form always redirects
back to 'file/manage' so we force redirect back to the main 'media'
vroot.

That will not work because the verification happens long after the
form is destroyed (i.e. on the _POST, not the _GET request)

You'll need to hook the validator and do a context sensitive switch on the fly

// pseudo code....

class MyValidator
{
      function FileValidate(&$formatinfo)
      {
            $current_url = cc_current_url();

           if( $current_url == 'what_im_expecting' )
           {
              $path = $formatinfo->GetFilePath();
              $id3 =& CCGetID3::InitID3Obj();
              $tags = $id3->analyze($path);
              if( empty($tags['zip']) )
              {
                  $formatinfo->SetErrors('must be a zip file for the
submit form type');
              }
          }
      }

     function GetValidFileTypes(&$types)
    {
       // similar conditional stuff as above....
    }

}

function make_my_validator()
{
    return new MyValidator();
}

global $CC_UPLOAD_VALIDATOR;
$CC_UPLOAD_VALIDATOR = 'make_my_validator';


Of course this is missing dozens of lines of code required for error
checking etc. but I think you get the idea. You can find all that in
ccextras/cc-pseudo-verify.inc in the FileValidate section that handles
the CC_PV_VERIFY case.

Believe it or not, this is the least cumbersome way I can think of. In
the end it's simply a design flaw that doesn't allow for submit forms
to have different files types associated with them - there was the
same issue with licenses and I got around to fixing that in 5.1 but
didn't get to file types.
