[Phpslash-devel] testing 0.8 alpha

[Matthew L. <lei...@ma...>]

Hi guys,

I've installed two sites lately based on the 0.8 alpha distro.  It seems to
work well.   Some bugs I've found, however, are:

1.  Extra question marks in the config_setup.php script URLs so that after
completing a step, the script starts from the beginning (I'm guessing this
one was caught already.)

2.  Backend.php doesn't work because it doesn't load the right classes.  I'm
in the middle of tracing through the code to see which classes are
necessary.  

In composing this e-mail I've answered the second question, too:  I found
that all you need are the four lines from modules/story/index.php:

AddClassRequirement("story_base",$_PSL['moduledir'] .
"/story/Story_base.class");
AddClassRequirement("story","story_base");
AddCl
assRequirement("story",$_PSL['moduledir'] .
"/story/Story.class");
AddClassRequirement("story_plugin_i",$_PSL['moduledir
'] ."/". $_PSL['module']['Story'] ."/Story_plugin_i.class");



Now that that's done, I'm interested in adding a photo album module, perhaps
based on http://photoframe.sourceforge.net/.  I think it's a good candidate
because it's a single file with a lot of functions and variables to deliver
its content.  So configuration could be handed over easily from a block
options menu, etc.

But *how in fact do I add a module?*  I'm still a little scared by the
prospect, since I haven't contributed since the pre-"everything is a block"
days.  :-)
