Re: [dbscript-devel] OpenMicroBlogger Install

there's two places to download

    http://open.srcphp.com/projects/38-OpenMicroBlogger

    (preferred, as it increments the public-download counter)

and you can always get the latest development build

     http://dbscript.net/omb.zip

yep, you need to create a database first

users will get an e-mail "so-and-so is now following you on  
someserver.com" and the FROM will be this address

also, the omb software will try to send administrative messages to  
the address

well, the root folder should have

index.php
app/
db/

and that index.php should take care of everything

[dbscript-devel] OpenMicroBlogger Install

[Matthew T. <mte...@gm...>]

1.let's see. created database in mysql (should I have?) I tried it both ways
anyhow.

2.   and find the email settings too

      email_from: root@localhost
      email_name: Notifier

Not sure about these settings. Should this be an existing email account?

3. default file upload for now (dying to try S3)

4. worry about pretty urls later too

When I go tot the root directory of the install I just get a view of files,
no database creation. Should the server be pointing to the root of the app
or another folder?

Hmmmm

[dbscript-devel] interesting discussion about PHP software

[Brian H. <br...@me...>]

Welcome, everybody who has joined the dbscript mailing list --  
OpenMicroBlogger is at 939 downloads in about 25 days -- pretty nice!  
It's the "canonical" dbscript application. I don't know what i'll do  
when it hits 1000 but maybe have a nice pint of something at the very  
least.

I wanted to point out an interesting conversation going on about PHP  
blog and CMS software:

http://redotheweb.com/2008/09/19/designing-a-cms-architecture/

I like the following comment by Nathan from Alaska http:// 
n8v.enteuxis.org/ -- he really sums up what i've been trying to do  
with dbscript for several years. Apps on the Web (and even plugins/ 
components of CMS-s or blogs) could speak a common REST API (the one  
Ruby on Rails has laid out and dbscript has emulated)

Maybe someone should define a higher level REST architecture or  
something that all PHP apps and frameworks could support

Hello

I just wanted to say Hi to everyone following this mailing list and to
introduce you to my two new sites using OpenMicroBlogger.

For the sports fan, visit SportsTwit at www.sportstwit.com and for those
of you interested in stocks and finance (despite the meltdown) visit
TickerTwit at www.tickertwit.com.

I look forward to continued discussion about dbscript and OMB in future.

Cheers!

[dbscript-devel] customizing controller functions with specific queries

[Kevin H. <kev...@ma...>]

I hope this helps someone with a similar need. I was populating a drop 
down list in a template with content from a table called "usapages," but 
wanted to have a more specific query that would limit the data grabbed 
from this table.

I was using the following line in my _new function in the controller:

$page_id_options = $db->distinct_values( "usapages", "link" );

but I wanted to limit the values from the "usapages" table by using a 
custom MySQL query. So I replaced the above line with this:

$page_id_options_x = mysql_query("SELECT page_id,menu_title from 
usapages WHERE level='1' and visibility='public'");
    while ($result=mysql_fetch_array($page_id_options_x, MYSQL_NUM)) {
        $page_id_options[$result[0]] = $result[1]; }

[Joss W. <jo...@jo...>]

Hello,

I've only just come across OMB and am testing v0.2 here:

http://open.josswinn.org

I'm interested in helping out on OSS projects, mainly user testing and
debugging, but my main interest for this is the possible use of it at
the university I work at. We run WordpressMU and a microblogging tool
has potential for use in education and the workplace, too. I'm keen to
see how it integrates with WPMU and how much of the experience I'm
gaining being admin for WPMU can be translated easily to being admin
for OMB.

Cheers
Joss
