- Many bugs have been fixed in CVS. - The web site has a new design and more new content. Sangeetha Saligrama encouraged me to write documentation. There is now a tutorial on-line for new end-users. - A maintenance release is due soon. - SOS is in use at least one organization. Andrew |

* I have fixed many bugs and implemented permissions checking in many places. * Anonymous CVS access is fixed. * The web site content has been expanded. Please test SOS from CVS, as I will release a maintenance version soon. Then the focus will return to new features. Thanks. Andrew |

- Several bugs fixed in CVS. - One known installation of the program. - Corky has offered to help with ideas and beta testing. He uses Redhat and MySQL. - Development has been slow since end of December. Andrew |

I've committed a lot of changes today. Most of them relate to a new table class in functions/table.php. The new class paginates database results. It begins to implement printable support, and it will implement other features soon. I will continue working on the table class by developing it and implementing it. Any suggestions for the pagination navigation style? The old style (which does not use the new class) is in src/search_volunteer.php. You can see the new class and its style in volunteers/workhistory.php. (The new one looks like AdoDB's PageExecute, BTW.) Roger is working on custom data fields. I hope to hear more from Jeff and Steve. Steve, from MN, wrote me yesterday to tell me he's interested in developing and using SOS, and he has Oracle experience. I think Steve's on Windows. I expect a lot of Windows users, so that's good. Andrew |

Roger, Thanks for the update. Please work on the custom fields, as discussed. I'm leaving that to you (unless you get stuck). This will be a good amount of work to finish. To avoid duplicate work, I'll post updates here or assign things to you. I am free for the semester after my final tomorrow, and I am working on making functions/table.php more robust with features such as automatic pagination. The next issues include error logging and searching by phone number and availability. If you get stuck, you are free to try some features for future releases. Some good ones: JavaScript dropdown menu containing recent volunteer (list of them already stored in session), quick search by name from any menu (I can't find an aesthetic place to integrate this). If you're ambitious: plugins, automatic upgrading. This month I also want third-party user testing to identify any issues, especially those related to usability. When the custom data fields and functions/table.php are done, I will update the on-line demo and solicit user testing. Andrew |

This is a short update.
Welcome Roger W. and Jeff K. Roger knows PHP, HTML, MySQL, and Linux
(among other things) and expressed interest helping wherever needed.
Soon he will be migrating SOS to AdoDB. Jeff comes from a Windows
background, so I hope he'll test SOS against Windows, IIS, and MSSQL.
Recent changes include:
* New and improved error handling functions
* Progress on redirecting users to non-POST pages after form processing
* Basic functionality of add/edit/delete rather complete
Short-term goals include:
* Switch to AdoDB
* Move phone numbers into separate table
* Finish custom data fields by adding multiple choice types: radio,
checkbox
* Otherwise finalize database structures
* Test e-mail further
* Prepare first (alpha) release for early January
Discussion item of the day:
To prevent XSS strings should be sanitized by stripping HTML tags or
using htmlentities(). Should sanitation occur before storing the string
in the database or when retrieving? Currently it is done before.
However, looking down the road, SOS may include a non-HTML front-end, so
storing HTML entities would be not make sense. On the other hand, by
stripping HTML beforehand, it's easy to get certain users the privilege
to include HTML in strings. What do you think?
