[Phpwebsite-developers] Safari 1.3

[Shaun M. <sh...@ae...>]

For those of you on Macs.

The recent, and possibly last update to OSX 10.3, v 10.3.9 includes a 
vastly updated version of Safari. Lots and lots of goodness that is 
useful in phpWebSite. Featurewise, contenteditable and XSLT support are 
the nicest although the dramatic speed improvements are nice. 
contenteditable might see WYSIWYG editing support in Safari and 
phpwebsite finally I guess.

I'll let Dave Hyatt explain the changes...

http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/hyatt/


Also, If you've got the debug menu switched on, select 'Use Transparent 
Window'. If your style sheets don't specify a background colour and 
you've not used body bgcolor tags, all youy boxes now float on your 
desktop as if they were Dashboard widgets in Panther.

Really nice update.

Re: [Phpwebsite-developers] WG: Dynamic CSS

[Shaun M. <sh...@ae...>]

Have a look at how module specific CSS is implemented in the 
phpwsRSSfeeds module. The latest version even works on branches now 
that it copies over the CSS file. ;-)

That's how it's currently done. At least until fallout.

Actually, it seems more complex than that.  The good news is that the 
suggestion does fix the problem:

 > Test it by switching $parse_all_files = TRUE; in
 > conf/security_config.php to false.

However, it does not appear to be all PDFs.  I've devoted a lot of MIPS 
to this problem over the last week without solving it until I read 
Shaun's post (thanks, Shaun!).  The issue also appears related in some 
way to the size of the PDF files.  I have succeeded with every PDF under 
about a half-meg that I've tried, but failed with PDFs of a meg or 
more.  Playing with upload_max_filesize doesn't seem to have any impact 
on the problem.  Toggling $parse_all_files to FALSE resolves the issue 
but I don't understand why.

And oddly enough, the problem first showed up on a church bulletin PDF 
for us as well.  However, since then I've replicated it in a wide 
variety of (mostly technical) PDFs.

Yup, that's it. And it had stopped every single .PDF that I tried to
upload. I can't figure out how church bulletins could be malicious.
Could it be that the security algorithm needs to be tweaked?

Just to follow on...

Just removing dl\( from the list seems to clear up most problems. 
That's just a little too common in uploads.

I don't know what effect that has for security though as it's obviously 
opening up a tiny doorway. dl seems a odd php function to block 
although I guess in conjunction with another exploit, being able to 
load up apache modules at runtime might be useful to a hacker.

One of my users was complaining about image uploads in announce today

It definitely needs tweaking as now it's so secure you can't get any

This might be the security fix interfering with the upload. It scans a 
file for a particular string, which is possibly in the file you're 
uploading.

Test it by switching $parse_all_files = TRUE; in 
conf/security_config.php to false.

I wonder if it might be an idea to switch off the security fix if the 
person uploading is a deity or even an admin?

[Phpwebsite-developers] Save item non-approved

[Sander v. d. B. <sa...@sa...>]

Hi,

I'm facing this problem: i want to save a item *non*-approved from a form.
So i added this line to the form:

$form->add('approved', 'hidden', '0');

But the item is still saved as approved=1

How can i solve this?

Thanks for helping! Best regards,

Sander van den Broek

Re: [Phpwebsite-developers] Patch: Add an approval link to the user "logged in" menu.

[Greg T. <gr...@ta...>]

It sounds like you went way beyond this, but did you know that there
*IS* an E-mail notification sent by the system already?

The "User Email Contact" in the "User Administration" -> "Settings"
screen will automatically be sent a notification anytime a new approval
is waiting in the system.

As I said, though, it sounds like you went way beyond that anyway, but I
just wanted to make sure you knew.

[Phpwebsite-developers] Patch: Add an approval link to the user "logged in" menu.

[Tony M. <to...@ht...>]

I love phpwebsite, but in the past couple of years I have been annoyed by 
one problem in the implementation of the approval module.  You never know 
when an approval is pending.

I had created a small crontabbed program to send an e-mail once a day when 
an approval was needed but I thought there must be a better way.  I 
finally got off my duff and hacked the functionality into the user module.

What my "fix" does is place a link on the menu that is displayed after you 
log in that says: "Approvals Pending" and links to the approval module 
when:

 1. A new setting in the user manager saying "show pending approvals" is 
checked.

 2. You have authority to do approvals.

 3. There are approvals pending.

The patch has been uploaded to the patch manager on sourceforge (against 
0.10.1) at:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1175176&group_id=15539&atid=315539

(Watch the wrap).

The only thing to look out for is the version numbers I had to change to 
test it, both in boost.php and upgrade.php.

Please visit the wiki installation page 
http://phpwebsite-comm.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php?title=Installation_Guide. 
  There is a section on MS Windows installations.  There is a file you 
have to edit for MS Windows platforms.  Also check the section also on 
how much memory you have allowed in you php.ini settings since you have 
control over this.  Insufficient memory can cause these flaky display 
results.

A more immediate response may have been experienced if you would have 
posted your question in the forums 
https://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=49349.

Please let me know if you need additional assistance.  If the wiki page 
is not clear, then you can always write additional documentation or ask 
for clarification.

[Phpwebsite-developers] Wide images

[Shaun M. <sh...@ae...>]

Today I was wondering how to stop people from posting overly wide 
images in content such as a forum and came across a solution that 
mostly works. This is for people using <img src="blah.jpg" /> rather 
than uploading images to modules that support images.

The max-width CSS property is really handy at limiting the size of an 
element but IE doesn't support it. IE however does have something that 
works in a similar way but uses an 'expression' which is unique to IE.

Here's the CSS ...

.posting img {
max-width:400px;
width: expression(this.width > 400 ? 400: true);
}


Mozilla, Firefox and Opera pick up max-width and will scale an image to 
400px wide if it's more than 400px.
Safari will too but bizarrely doesn't scale proportionally so the 
height stays the same. I hope Apple fix this at some point. I've not 
tested on MacIE but with MS killing that off and now also the MSN 
client that contained the old MacIE core, that's academic.

IE doesn't understand max-width so uses the width:expression and scales 
the same as if it knew max-width.

I used this in a phpwsBB template.

in view.tpl, around the BODY tag, stick a <div class="posting">...<div>

I got the idea from http://www.svendtofte.com/code/max_width_in_ie/ 
which also gives details for line lengths.

Thought I'd pass this on. It's very handy if you're using a fixed 
layout or don't want your page going extra wide and one of the cleanest 
css hacks I've seen in a while.

[Phpwebsite-developers] Call to a member function on a non-object in Menu.php line 362.

[Stephen F. <sbp...@18...>]

 
I am having some difficulties with the latest release candidate. I've 
gotten it down to an easily reproducible fault.

This is a brand new install of phpwebsite-0.10.1-RC1.tar.gz on a hosted 
LAMP system. A fair amount of data is already on the site and everything 
else is working correctly. We've got FAQs, Photo Gallery, etc. running fine.

Here's how to reproduce the problem:

* Create a menu.
* Add two items. (Doesn't seem to matter if they are internal pages or not.)
* Add an item under one of the items. (Ditto.)
* Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in 
/home/ignigorg/public_html/cms/mod/menuman/class/Menu.php on line 362

I do not believe that it is in the creation of the menu so much as the 
display of the menu because once this occurs you can click on the 
offending item in the "real" menu and get the same error msg.

As long as a menu has only one level of items, it works correctly. But 
as soon as a second level is added, it blows.

Is anyone else having this problem? Has anyone got a solution?

Thanks!

It's always better to address the objects directly via their class=20
functions than to try and mess with the data directly as you'd be in=20
danger of your module breaking if the base classes changed how they=20
stored their data.

 =46rom mod/users/docs/devdoc.txt...

PHPWS_User($user_id)  : creates a user object with that user's data.

PHPWS_User_Groups($group_id) : Group object constructor

isDeity([$user_id]) : Returns TRUE if the user is a Deity. Without the=20=

user_id, the current
logged user will be used.

checkPassword($pass1, $pass2) : performs error checking on two=20
passwords. Returns an
array of error messages or NULL if the passwords will work.

getUserId($username) : returns the user_id of a particular username

getUserName ($user_id) : returns the username of a particular user_id

isUser : returns TRUE if the current user has an account.


getGroupname($group_id) : returns group name of group_id

userInGroup($group_id[, $user_id]) : returns TRUE if the user is in the=20=

group designated
by the group_id

listUserGroups([$user_id]) : returns an array of groups that the user=20
is a member of. It is
indexed by the group id and the value is the name of the group.

listMembers($group_id) : returns an array of users in a particular=20
group. The array is indexed
by the user_id. The values of the array are the usernames.

listAllGroups() : returns an array of groups indexed by group_id.

listUserGroupVars($user_id, $module_title) : returns an array of group=20=

variables for a user.
The array is indexed by the group id and contains an array of the=20
variables and their values.

Like icons in Mac OSX perhaps.

I like it. Although I imagine it's not top of the list for Matt.

[Phpwebsite-developers] getting everyone of a certain group

[<re...@ki...>]

I'd like to change the "no" next to "in/out board" in the cms matrix for
phpwebsite(http://www.cmsmatrix.org/matrix?func=3DviewDetail
<http://www.cmsmatrix.org/matrix?func=3DviewDetail&wid=3D2&listingId=3D10=
57>
&wid=3D2&listingId=3D1057) to a yes. writing such a module should be =
pretty
easy. It's just two tables:
=20
one with mod_inoutboard_users(id, user_id, status_id, timestamp) and the
second with mod_inoutboard_stati(status_id, caption).
=20
my plan would be to show the status of the group(s) the current user is
logged in to. in a box. all the time. it should be as easy as a=20
=20
select caption, username
from mod_groups g
  left join mod_users u
    on u.group_id=3Dg.id
  left join mod_inoutboard_users iu
    on u.user_id=3Diu.user_id
  left join mod_inoutboard_stati s
    on s.status_id=3Diu.s
having g.id=3D....
=20
the catch here is of course, that groups are stored in only one field. =
in a
compressed form, like 1:4:2.
=20
does anyone have advice on how I'd select all users of a certain group
efficiently? I'd need the user_ids, so I can join them with the rest.
=20
thanks,
