Geeklog Plugins / News: Recent posts

The latest version of the Geeklog native forum project has been released. Developed by Matthew DeWyer and Blaine Lang.

This version includes many enhancements and code cleanup. Major new feature is the ability to have forum themes. All HTML has been extracted to template files with more CSS defines. Includes an upgrade script for version 1.0 installs.

Geeklog Plugin Development has been very active over the past few months. This project will be be used to host these plugins and be an active site for distribution, discussion and tracking plugin development.

The phpBB plugin is now up to date with the version of config.php in CVS.

Yes, I've taken the time to update the static pages plugin to be compatible with current version of Geeklog in CVS.

The main Geeklog project has made changes to config.php to rename the variables and reorganize it to make it easier for new users. As a result, NONE of the geeklog plugins will work until we get time to go in and fix all the code to use the new variables.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

I just released into CVS the code needed for the static pages plugin. I will make the plugin available in a tarball as soon as I find an image for it.

I haven't verified if this is a mysql issue or not but initial indications are that it IS.

First, 3.22 doesn't like it when you have a KEY <fieldname>(fieldname) entry in a CREATE TABLE syntax when <fieldname> is not set to NOT NULL. 3.22 users *should* either upgrade to the latest 3.23 release OR remove the KEY entries (I believe there are two).

Next issue is that 3.22 doesn't like pound signs (#) in the table.sql file. Again, I got this to work fine with 3.23 so either upgrade or remove them temporarily and then add them via the phpBB admin interface (The pound signs are used for data entries in the theme table so go to themes and re-add them).

We are preparing the Geeklog 1.3 codebase to support plugins. Current the support of plugins is working but experimental. We encourage those who like to live dangerously to install Geeklog 1.3 from CVS at http://sourceforge.net/projects/geeklog and then to try these plugins out. The plugins themselves are in beta form as well and we need help getting them stable. Please submit bugs to this site as you find them and let us know what we can do to make them better
