Yeah, a few of the modules use it.  However, the basic functionality 
still works for the most part.  As I said, the main web page only shows 
up when a user isn't logged in.  So it just puts a page up there that 
says, "Welcome:  Page is not available."  I figured it would be 
worthwhile asking for a good place to start first, before I go muddling 
through lines and lines of PHP code.  But thanks for the info, I've 
noticed some reassignments of $this here and there.  Obviously, PHP5 
rejects it.  So I guess now it's time to get my hands dirty and start 
digging through some code.  I'll go get a few cans of Mountian Dew and 
see what I can whip up....

The current CVS version of phpWebSite will run under php5.   The changes
will be in the upcoming 0.9.3-5 release.

There are many practices used in phpWebSite 0.9.3 that are, um, bad in
PHP5.

One of the big ones is trying to reassign an object, likeso:

$this = $otherContructedObject;

I believe there are many that do it. Although we know now that it is a
poor practice, there are still some floating around. I believe Steven
Levin has a test copy working under php 5.

[Phpwebsite-developers] Question about PHP5.

[Patrick T. <pa...@se...>]

I found on the site a version that's compatible with PHP5, because the 
latest stable version is not compatible with PHP5.  It seems to work 
nicely, however the main page does not display at all when an anonymous 
user pulls up our site.  Where in the source would be a good place to 
start looking for where the problem might be occuring?  Or if anybody 
knows of a fix that already exists for this problem, I would greatly

Re: [Phpwebsite-developers] Wierd problem with install.sql INSERT

[Ulf H. <U1...@ul...>]

Tony,

uhm -- am i mistaken or is this a column order issue?
On a first look, I believe you got what you asked for.

Possible solution:
Re-order the values in the insert statement, or add the designated 
columns names to the insert statement.

I apologize if this answer too simple b/c I did not undertand your 
problem. ;)

Ulf

PS:
I wonder why this list keeps telling me that my mails have a suspicious

Is this because I am asking dumb questions or because I am writing 
stupid answers.....?

Thats is correct. The final goal is to have a dms mod for phpws.
Do you think this is a bad idea...? ;)

Thanks for the links. I will see if there are some code snippets that

Ulf,
What you're describing sounds like a DMS (Document Management System).
There are quite a few examples of this type of application. Popular

[Phpwebsite-developers] Wierd problem with install.sql INSERT

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

I have kind of a strange one, and I'm wondering if it's a bug, or if I'm 
just doing something stupid.

I am deep into the Cigar Diary conversion, and it's going quite well.  I 
think I'm going to be REALLY pleased when it's finished, but I've come to 
a little speed bump.

I create the cigar table and then I insert one line into it.  This is 
supposed to be the "cigar not designated" entry, but install will not 
create this record properly.  Here is my install.sql code for this:

##
CREATE TABLE mod_cigardiary_cigar (
  id int NOT NULL default '0',
  owner varchar(20) default NULL,
  editor varchar(20) default NULL,
  ip text,
  label text NOT NULL,
  created int NOT NULL default '0',
  updated int NOT NULL default '0',
  hidden smallint NOT NULL default '1',
  approved smallint NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
  active smallint NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
  brand varchar(30) NOT NULL,
  style varchar(30) NOT NULL,
  shape varchar(30),
  origin smallint(5) unsigned,
  wrapper int(10) unsigned,
  binder int(10) unsigned,
  filler int(10) unsigned,
  color smallint(5) unsigned,
  ring smallint(5) unsigned,
  length smallint(5) unsigned,
  PRIMARY KEY (id)
);

INSERT INTO mod_cigardiary_cigar
VALUES (0, 'Install', 'Install', '0.0.0.0', 'Not Designated',
        UNIX_TIMESTAMP(),UNIX_TIMESTAMP(), 0, 1, 1, 'Not Designated',
        'Not Designated', 'Not Designated', 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0);
##

This looks to me, ok.  When I issue the install, I get the following 
listing:

##
List of Cigars 
  ID  Label  Owner  Editor  Created  Updated  Hidden  Approved  
  1 0.0.0.0 0 Install 12/31/1969 07:00 12/31/1969 07:00 Hidden Approved 
##

Everything appears to be shifted one to the right, and the dates are all 
wrong.

When I check the actual table contents, I get this:

##
mysql> select * from cd_mod_cigardiary_cigar;
+----+-------+---------+---------+---------+---------+---------+--------+----------+--------+----------------+----------------+-------+--------+---------+--------+--------+-------+------+--------+
| id | owner | editor  | ip      | label   | created | updated | hidden | 
approved | active | brand          | style          | shape | origin | 
wrapper | binder | filler | color | ring | length |
+----+-------+---------+---------+---------+---------+---------+--------+----------+--------+----------------+----------------+-------+--------+---------+--------+--------+-------+------+--------+
|  1 | NULL  | Install | Install | 0.0.0.0 |       0 |       0 |      1 |        
1 |      0 | Not Designated | Not Designated | 0     |      0 |       0 |      
0 |      0 |     0 |    0 |   NULL |
+----+-------+---------+---------+---------+---------+---------+--------+----------+--------+----------------+----------------+-------+--------+---------+--------+--------+-------+------+--------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
##

This is NOT what I asked for.  When I cut and paste the line into MySQL 
(adding the cd_ to the table name) it works perfectly.

This is not a major issue, since I can create the record easily by hand, 
but I don't think I should have to.  Did I do something wrong, and if so, 
what is it?

Thanks,

-Tony

To detect the pagemaster page?

Have a look at the phpwsRSSfeeds module which has both a method of 
specifying the page and detecting it.

Shawn,

thanks a lot for replying. I guess that one of the various linux tools 
out there is what I am looking for.
htdig would not do the job, as I would like to include pdf, xls, doc 
files into the search.

In the meantime, I found http://www.site-search-pro.com/order/ - but I 
am not sure if this is really what I am looking for.

What I am looking for is a simple way to include attached files, such as 
pdf, xls, doc in the search function of
document manager, which is residing on a SUSE linux server.

Any suggestions are greatly aprechiated - of course I would be more than 
happy to feed any results back into
document manager code, in case you guys are interested.

[Phpwebsite-developers] current page id

[Ton O. <ton...@he...>]

I am trying to change the functionality of the menumanager a little and need
to detect the page to be displayed. Anyone knows how to do this?

I can detect the requested modules, but how to get the curently displayed
page from this?

I tried a lot of things. The best I got is the id of the previous page. So
the id is only correct if I refresh the page.

Please help.

You don't have jpeg support compiled in to PHP. You need to recompile 
it with

'--with-gd' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local' '--with-png-dir=/usr' 
'--with-xpm-dir=/usr/X11R6'

Change the path names to match where you've installed the jpeg, png and 
xpm libraries if those are different. That gets you full jpeg, png and 
X11 bitmap support.

[Phpwebsite-developers] RE: RSS feed configuration change results in PHP error...and no access to admin UI

[Stuart T. <Stu...@vi...>]

Hi,

OK, I learned how the RSS was configured in the DB and modified column
by column returning it to a 'default' state.  Everything started working
again when I changed the RSS feed configuration 'pm_allow' from
a:4:{i:0;s:1:"3";i:1;s:1:"2";i:2;s:1:"4";i:3;s:1:"5";} to NULL.

The original value is a bit cryptic.  Can anyone point me in the right
direction?  I'd like to be able to point out where the problem is so it
can be sorted out. =20

Cheers,

Stu

Hi again,

Nope, no PHP accelerator.  (Yet.  It is on my list of things to do after
I get this site up.)

And, nope again: it is not running.  :(  Click the 'contact' link, which
should display a form, or try the admin directory (no link) and it blows
up too.

Your mail reminds me that all of this is running on a 64mb virtual
machine.  But that really 'should' not be a problem.  (Should is a
dangerous word some times.)

Q: How and where is the RSS configuration page values stored?  I'd like
to try and tinker there to see if I can reclaim the site.

Cheers again for the insight.

in PHP error...and no access to admin UI
Reply-To: php...@li...

Hi,

I recently installed the RSS module and added a feed from
www.theregister.co.uk.  All seemed good.  Then while tinkering with the
configuration, specifically the radio buttons options, problems arose.
Now, the site blows up on many pages...including the admin page, so the
configuration cannot be reversed via the UI.

Error message: "Fatal error: The script tried to execute a method or
access a property of an incomplete object. Please ensure that the class
definition phpws_page of the object you are trying to operate on was
loaded _before_ the session was started in
/var/www/stu.thompson.name/pws/mod/phpwsrssfeeds/class/RSS.php on line
809"

The RSS.php segment at the foot of this mail is the offending code.

PWS v0.9.3-4
RH 9
PHP v4.2.2
MySql 4.0.21

The home page shows up ok, with working RSS feed.  In fact, all the
pages that are -just- pagemasters are ok.  It blows up when trying to
display a page with a form or logging into the admin console.

The site is at http://www.stu.thompson.name/pws/ if you wanna have a
look.  (Don't laugh, it is a work in progress!)

Although I've had a look-see in the code and tinkered around, I know
effectively nothing about PHP, so no progress was made.

If control can be regained of the site, life will be good.  But at some
point, it would be best if the bug went away.  ;)

Cheers for your help...

Stuart,

Do you have phpAccelerator installed? Looks like a php script caching
error. Essentially what happens is the cache runs out of memory space
and only saves half of a class file. It will error out saying the file
is incomplete. Looks like it is working fine now. Let me know if you
have some type of php script caching running. If you need the
functionality of a script cache, I highly recommend turck-mmcache.

[Phpwebsite-developers] PHP Function Index

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

I came across this little app from a link in the Apple Developers News 
and thought I'd pass it on for Mac PHP developers.

http://www.artissoftware.com/phpfi/

Especially cool with a bit of Applescript to link it in with your 
editor of choice (SubEthaEdit for me - also a cool application) so you 
can query selected text and jump off to phpfi.

I'm not connected with artis software at all btw or have shares in them 
or slept with their cousins.

Sounds more complicated than need be or have I missed something?

Scenario 3
You just have an indicator which says which is the current version 
rather than using an undo/redo stack. All your copies are still there 
but you've not added F.

I'm thinking along the lines of having an announcement with 5 (A -> E) 
versions in a pull down and you just select which you want to mark as 
current provided you've the right permissions to change it without the 
change having to go to Approval.

A new version can then be edited whilst a previous version is available 
with the new version becoming F after going through Approval and A 
dropping off the list of backups.

Is there a reason we can't have unlimited backups rather than 5? Not 
that I think 5 would be a big problem at all.

I'm presuming/hoping there's an audit trail in there somewhere also. 
Possibly that's the job Approval has to do?

ps. Check out Bricolage, hint, hint.  http://www.bricolage.cc/ ;-)

[Phpwebsite-developers] Revert code

[Matthew M. <ma...@tu...>]

Hello all,

Long time no write. I have a question that Steven and I have been
discussing which could use some feedback.

There is a class in 0.9.4 called Backup. It facilitates restoring an
item of content to a previous version. The question we have is - what
then?

A quick overview. When you call Backup::save(), a backup of your data is
placed in a (almost) duplicate table. The backup system limits the
backups to 5 right now - 4 previous edits plus the current copy.
Remember, the last letter on the list is the current version.

In each scenario, we have 5 copies, A B C D and E, with 'E' being the
current version. We want to replace the current version (E) with a
previous version (C).

Scenario 1
C is made the current version (becoming 'F'). D and E are removed since
they are after the reversion. The new list is: A B F

Scenario 2
C is made the current version (becoming 'F'). The previous version (E)
is added to the reversion list. Our new list is: A B D E F


Scenario 1 is more like how your standard 'undo' command works. However,
we are worried that people will expect the last version to be saved even
if we are going to an older version.

Comments welcome.
Thanks,
Matt

The docs would have to be text files unless you've some way of parsing 
Word or PDF or whatever. There are various tools for that already on 
Linux at least that I know of. You'd not want to search all file types.

Maybe do it via an existing tool like htdig?

[Phpwebsite-developers] Full text search...?

[Ulf H. <U1...@ul...>]

Hi,

quick question:
say one would want to build a full-text index into document manger 
leveraging a file system search functionality.

Would that make sense?
Has anybody ever done this?
How would you do it?

Of course, parsing all docs into a blob upon load would work - but I 
dont think that would be sexy enough. ;)
Server would be either linux or win....

[Phpwebsite-developers] RE: Phpwebsite-developers digest, Vol 1 #709 - 3 msgs

[Stuart T. <Stu...@vi...>]

Hi again,

Nope, no PHP accelerator.  (Yet.  It is on my list of things to do after
I get this site up.)

And, nope again: it is not running.  :(  Click the 'contact' link, which
should display a form, or try the admin directory (no link) and it blows
up too.

Your mail reminds me that all of this is running on a 64mb virtual
machine.  But that really 'should' not be a problem.  (Should is a
dangerous word some times.)

Q: How and where is the RSS configuration page values stored?  I'd like
to try and tinker there to see if I can reclaim the site.

Cheers again for the insight.

Stu

in PHP error...and no access to admin UI
Reply-To: php...@li...

Hi,

I recently installed the RSS module and added a feed from
www.theregister.co.uk.  All seemed good.  Then while tinkering with the
configuration, specifically the radio buttons options, problems arose.
Now, the site blows up on many pages...including the admin page, so the
configuration cannot be reversed via the UI.

Error message: "Fatal error: The script tried to execute a method or
access a property of an incomplete object. Please ensure that the class
definition phpws_page of the object you are trying to operate on was
loaded _before_ the session was started in
/var/www/stu.thompson.name/pws/mod/phpwsrssfeeds/class/RSS.php on line
809"

The RSS.php segment at the foot of this mail is the offending code.

PWS v0.9.3-4
RH 9
PHP v4.2.2
MySql 4.0.21

The home page shows up ok, with working RSS feed.  In fact, all the
pages that are -just- pagemasters are ok.  It blows up when trying to
display a page with a form or logging into the admin console.

The site is at http://www.stu.thompson.name/pws/ if you wanna have a
look.  (Don't laugh, it is a work in progress!)

Although I've had a look-see in the code and tinkered around, I know
effectively nothing about PHP, so no progress was made.

If control can be regained of the site, life will be good.  But at some
point, it would be best if the bug went away.  ;)

Cheers for your help...

Stuart,

Do you have phpAccelerator installed? Looks like a php script caching
error. Essentially what happens is the cache runs out of memory space
and only saves half of a class file. It will error out saying the file
is incomplete. Looks like it is working fine now. Let me know if you
have some type of php script caching running. If you need the
functionality of a script cache, I highly recommend turck-mmcache.

Re: [Phpwebsite-developers] Module Display Question

[Dwight F. <dw...@op...>]

Shaun,

Thanks a bunch. That is exactly the hint I needed. I how have it
displaying on the page. Next I have to figure out how to control
what pages it displays on. Right now it is showing on ALL pages.
Not bad, particularly, but I want to go to the next step and learn
how to control it more comletely. Thanks!
