[Phpwebsite-developers] Picture problem on Main Page

[Geoff S. <ge...@ho...>]

We seem to have this weird problem where the supplied picture for the Main 
Page keeps coming back. I haven't been able to duplicate it exactly.

When you delete the supplied picture and put your own picture up, it 
appears to work, but you may have to do it a couple of times.

Once you have your picture up on the page correctly, if you edit the main 
page, the supplied picture magically returns, even though you thought that 
it was deleted.

I'll look further into this if no one else know what is happening here.

P. S. We have a wonderful community here. I was involved with phpNuke at 
one time and left there because the folks over there lived for the 
opportunity to be obnoxious and abusive to other participants. One time, I 
was attacked because I set up a website for a web hosting company using 
phpNuke as the framework. I was told that I was a f**king idiot for using 
phpNuke for such a thing. Anyway, I hope that we can maintain the cordial 
atmosphere that we have always had in this development group. GS

Geoff...if you're referring to my debacle with Bob, don't worry: since
he seems to be locked up in his castle of arrogance,since he seems he
want to ignore me and since i've my own fork of phpWebSite i won't
bother developers-ML anymore. i apologize for the inconvenience.

There is some goofiness with the picture upload. Before 0.8.2 I was
scrambling to get mainpage and userpage to work after some code changes. It
SEEMED to work properly but I don't doubt you when you say it could be
doing as you described. I will try to duplicate it, but if you can offer
steps to do so, that would be super.

I agree. Without taking sides on the problems we are currently experiencing
I will say this: keep the arguments in private email. There is no reason to
air grievances within the public forum. Let's keep it professional.
Although I respect and appreciate the abilities of our developers, my
patience is thinning.

[Phpwebsite-developers] multiple sites/ one set of files

[spiggy <th...@me...>]

i was asking about this a while back and since my old boss asked
again... i thought id give it a try. and it looks like i have the darn
thing running :) 

to remind you of the problem: 30 different student clubs that want a
website. having a set of files for all would be a bit tiresome to
upgrade so requirement is one shared set of files and one database per
site.

anyone available to test this? it was so easy in the end that i am
thinking i must have missed something big.

this is how i did it:
1. register_globals=on

2. create a directory configs and place the sites config.php files
there, in my case i am using club1_config.php, club2_config.php,
club3_config.php (i am including the examples i used). create databases
for every site

3. add include('open_session.php') to header.php

4. replace config.php with my version (a short one)

5. goto http://yoursite/?cl=club1, http://yoursite/?cl=club2 and
http://yoursite/?cl=club3 and do a fresh install for all. login as admin
and change the theme so it is different for every site. if you run into
issues, chances are that open_session is not included in that file.

i have not thought about user logins etc.. since it is not that
important for this project. installing modules produces some errors for
not being able to include open_session but the modules still install
fine. of course i could set the full path for open_session.php and this
issue would be gone.

i have tested this with mozilla/linux/php4.2 only and all browser
reports are welcome :) the session stuff is not 100% clear to me so any
ideas for config.php are also very welcome. for instance how to make
sure if someone types a name that does not exist, the user goes to
clubs.php file. i tried several versions but nothing produced the
desired effect (i am a session dummie :)

my demo site is at http://demo.phpgirl.com/clubs.php (very crude :). i
am keeping this page outside phpwebsite so it fits with the rest of the
main school site and to keep a list of links to all the clubs.

thats it, i am done for today (well, it is 3am :)
