[Webcollab-users] Installing on godaddy

[cdcarter <cd...@ca...>]

I'm trying to install webcollab on a godaddy account. I gather the setup.php
script won't work with their system, so I set up a sql database manually and
made the following changes to the config.php file:

//DATABASE OPTIONS

  define('cdcarter', "" );
  define('cdcarter', "" );
  define('mypassword', "" );

  //Database type (valid options are "mysql", "postgresql", "mysql_innodb"
and "mysqli")
  define('DATABASE_TYPE', "mysql" );

  //Database host (usually "localhost")
  define('DATABASE_HOST', "p41mysql103.secureserver.net" );

When I try to log in, I get the following message:

Sorry but there seems to be a problem in connecting to the database server

Has anybody else managed to make it work with Godaddy?

[Webcollab-users] WebCollab 2.31 Aberdeen released!

[Andrew S. <and...@pa...>]

Hi all,

I am pleased to announce the release of WebCollab 2.31 Aberdeen.
 
This release has minor bugfixes and a Portuguese translation added.

The UTF-8 version of WebCollab is recommended for all users, provided the optional mb_strings library is installed in PHP.  For users with languages other than English, the UTF-8 version is strongly recommended because it has far superior internationalisation.

[Webcollab-users] WebCollab 2.30 Stargazer released

[Andrew S. <and...@pa...>]

I am pleased to announce the release of WebCollab 2.30 Stargazer.
 
This release has minor feature improvements and bugfixes to RSS.  Notable changes are:

  - Forum messages can now be edited.

  - Start day of week for calendar can be altered in the config file.

  - The forums and description fields now accept 'bbcodes'.

  - Priority sort field has been added to Task Summary.

The UTF-8 version of WebCollab is recommended for all users, provided the optional mb_strings library is installed in PHP.  For users with languages other than English, the UTF-8 version is strongly recommended because it has far superior internationalisation.

For upgrading from earlier versions of WebCollab, you need to update the database as tables have been added. You also need to run setup again as some configuration items have been changed.  More details on this are given in the included RELEASE NOTES.

My guess is that the multiple file uploads code is not working.  Initially the file(s) are uploaded to a temporary system directory.  It appears that when WebCollab checks for file(s) in this system directory there is nothing there.

However the system works for single file uploads (WebCollab 2.10a).

Can you tell me what web browser that you are using?

[Webcollab-users] (no subject)

[<gg...@fr...>]

Hello,
I'm working with the last Version 2.2 of Webcollab and I have an upload problem
file with this version. My precedent version was 2.10a and I have no problem.
The two version are in different directories, but on the same developpment
directory on my server (thus the same server). So I think that the access right
are OK (I have just renamed the old directory to "webcollab-2.10a").
The warning is produced in "file_submit.php" at these lines :
//check that at least one file upload was successful
if( ! $upload_success_flag ) {
  warning($lang['file_submit'], $lang['no_upload'] );
  }
I have the warning and effectively no files is uploaded, the record table files
in MySql is empty.
I have updated the file size in "config.php" to "20000000" that's all.
In my webcollab configuration the path are not relative, especially for uploaded
files : "D:\xxxxx\yyyyyy\webcollab\files\filebase" (for the moment).
Thank you for an idea on this problem.
Kinds regards

Re: [Webcollab-users] Italian Translation

Hi,

Yes, there has been no Italian translator for a while.  I would greatly appreciate having the Italian translation brought up to date.

The translation files are in the Sourceforge SVN (which can be accessed from the Sourceforge page).  The language files are in the webcollab/lang directory for files in ISO-8859-1 character set and webcollab-utf8 for UTF-8 character set.  The Italian files are prefixed 'it_'.

You can work with the ISO-8859-1 character set or the UTF-8 character set.  I can convert between them with 'iconv'. 

There is also a 'README' file in the same directory that should help.  I am always happy to help with questions you may have.  My email address is in all the program files.

Thanks for your offer to help.

For English, you need to edit the file [webcollab]/lang/en_email.php.  This file contains the text strings that sent out with the email.  The text string you want is near the bottom of the file.

The first two letters of the file name are the ISO 639 language code.  So 'en' is English, but if you wanted Spanish ('es'), the file you want is actually want is [webcollab]/lang/es_email.php.

[Webcollab-users] Release of WebCollab 2.20 (Orion)

[Andrew S. <and...@pa...>]

Hi all,

I am pleased to announce the release of WebCollab 2.20 (Orion).

This release has feature improvements, minor bugfixes and internal improvements.  Notable changes
are:

  - Uploaded files can now be updated (instead of manually deleting and adding a new file).

  - The deadline can be changed on cloned projects with all child tasks altering by the same amount.

  - Optional VEVENT configuration parameter for iCalendar to allow Google, Outlook compatibility,
     or other software that does not support VTODO.

  - Setup program now uses UTF-8 for better internationalisation.

  - Admin user setup is now done during first setup.

  - Brazilian Portuguese, Dutch and Spanish translation updates

The UTF-8 version of WebCollab (webcollab-utf8-2.20) is recommended for all users, provided the 
optional mb_strings library is installed in PHP.  For users with languages other than English, 
the UTF-8 version is strongly recommended because it has far superior internationalisation.

Thank you for your comments.  It's always good to have happy users.

Your question is very interesting - it's actually a 5 year old bug!  No one - including me - seems to have noticed this before.

The database field for 'notes' in the 'contacts' table is set to 100 characters ('VARCHAR(100)'), when it should really be 'TEXT'.  You can use a program such as phpmyadmin to change the field from VARCHAR(100) to TEXT, or you can use SQL commands from a commandline ('ALTER TABLE contacts MODIFY notes TEXT').

The database creation files are now updated in the Subversion SVN at Sourceforge too.

[Webcollab-users] WebCollab 2.11 (Archimedes)

[Andrew S. <and...@pa...>]

Hi all,

I am pleased to announce WebCollab 2.11 (Archimedes), has been released. 

This release has a number of minor bugfixes for problems in WebCollab 2.10a, and updated translations.  The Esperanto language has also been added.

The UTF-8 version is now more closely aligned with the standard version to make maintaining the code easier.  The Sourceforge demo site has been running the UTF-8 version now for several weeks, since Sourceforge finally enabled the necessary mb_strings library in their PHP load.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand that you have replaced the email.php file with another custom written file.  I ask this question because I would like to know if it a widespread bug, or just a 'one off' problem.

Assuming it's a custom written file:  Look for whitespace or characters after the '?>' at the end of the email.php file.  This should be line 105 from the error message.

WebCollab sends it's own HTTP headers, rather than relying in the default HTTP headers that PHP sends.  However it is important that _nothing_ is sent to the web client before the HTTP headers are sent.  Whitespace innocently left at the end of files is a common culprit.

Have you looked at admin_config.php?  If this is a custom file for email, I can't really help.

[Webcollab-users] Email PHP not SMTP (replaced patch email.php)

[John E. <je...@x2...>]

After replacing the email.php file to enable mailing without SMTP, I get
email function but I also get the following error message:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output
started at
/mnt/w0202/d17/s23/b02a1540/www/mysite.com/webcollab-2.11/webcollab-2.11/inc

es/file_submit.php on line 319

 

Emails addresses are random according to the server for example:

From: anonymous@m1. <mailto:ano...@m1...> myhost.com

 

I have tried ver. 2.10a and now 2.11 and they respond the same.

 

Thanks for your anticipated help to get real email addresses on these
messages and to avoid the error messages.

If you've patched a file for you own reasons, then it's not up to the original author to fix it when it doesn't work :-)

That said:  I would guess that you have whitespace or empty line feeds after the closing '?>' at Line 105 in email.php.  Remove the whitespace to fix the problem.

If you turn on debugging in the config file, you would get a comprehensive log of the email transaction with the original WebCollab email code.

[Webcollab-users] WebCollab 2.10 (Speedway)

[Andrew S. <and...@pa...>]

Hi all,

I am pleased to announce WebCollab 2.10 (Speedway), has been released. 

This release has the usual slew of minor bugfixes and updated translations.  Minor usability improvements have been made too.

The most notable change is the addition of new graphic icons.  Mark James, publisher of the Silk icons, has kindly made his icons available under the GPL for use in WebCollab (Normally they are under the slightly different Creative Commons Licence).

New translations have been added for Dutch, Norwegian and Slovenian.  The Traditional Chinese translation has been updated.

On a technical note, the software development repository has been changed from a CVS repository to Subversion repository.  Anyone can browse, or download the current development code from the Subversion repository at the Sourceforge site.

Regards

Andrew Simpson

that was the problem. the default temporary is /tmp and due to a malfunction script (has nothing to do with webcollab), the permissions for /tmp were set to 755.
A chmod 777 fixed the problem.

Hi there,

Firstly, I'm guessing that your error message (MISSING A TEMPORARY FOLDER) did come from WebCollab (and not from Apache or whatever).

Secondly, there is no change in the file upload code from 2.00 to 2.01 (I've just checked the CVS commit logs to be sure), so I think it's not really a WebCollab problem. 

What I do think it is:  When a file is uploaded it's placed in a temporary directory by Apache (most likely /tmp in Linux).  The WebCollab code then examines the temporary file, does security checks, then physically moves the file into the specified WebCollab file upload directory (and deletes the temporary file).  If anything goes wrong WebCollab just deletes the temporary file and notes an error.

In your case it appears that WebCollab can't read and/or access the temporary directory.  I think the temporary directory location is set in php.ini and the apache config files.  I'd suggest checking these first.

Andrew    

[Webcollab-users] Error when uploading files

[<squ...@we...>]

cheers,

we upgraded to version 2.01. Accessing already uploaded files works fine but uploading new files produces the following error:

MISSING A TEMPORARY FOLDER.

drwxrwx--- 2 www-data www-data 12288 2006-06-19 16:11 files 


www-data is the apache-user an files the file-directory.

The permission seems to be okay. 

Any ideas?

System: Apache 2.0.55 / Linux 2.6

Greetings Marco

Would it be beneficial to start up an IRC support room? (ie. #webcollab

I'd park in there an answer questions whenever necessary. I'm sure there 
would be other webcollab users who would do the same. It's something to 
think about.

[Webcollab-users] WebCollab 2.01 Released

[Andrew S. <and...@pa...>]

I am pleased to announce the recent release of WebCollab 2.01 (Greenlane)

This is a bugfix and maintenance release.  A number of small bugs are fixed, the Serbian and Turkish translations are updated.

Andrew Simpson

[Webcollab-users] WebCollab 2.00 development version

[Andrew S. <and...@pa...>]

I an pleased to announce development version - that is WebCollab 2.00-devel.

The general blurb follows:

----

The much requested iCalendar download provision has been added.  This allows users to create downloadable files in the iCalendar format.  The iCalendar files can be read by third party calendar software, such as WebCalendar (no relation to Webcollab!), Mozilla Sunbird, Apple iCal, GNOME Evolution, etc.

The calendar now has colourised projects and tasks.  This, along with other minor cosmetic changes have made the calendar much more attractive and readable.

Contacts can now be entered at tasks and project level.  Be warned that contacts associated with tasks and projects will be deleted when that project or task is deleted.

Forums entries can now be searched.  This makes the forums much more useful to users.

Ordinary users can now clone projects.  However, private tasks (within the project) that they cannot otherwise view, will not be cloned.

Basic RSS feeds have been provided.

The minimum database version for MySQL is now 4.1.3.  MySQL 4.1.3 was released in June 2004, and has a number of very useful improvements over the 3.23.x versions.  Subqueries can now be done by the database, rather than in PHP coding; the database supports timezones internally and character sets are now properly supported.

There is no change to the minimum versions of PostgreSQL.  The above features have all been in PostgreSQL for some time.

The unicode version of WebCollab is now closely integrated with the standard version.  This means that one version can be maintained rather than two source trees. 

---

As can be seen some fairly major additions and changes.  However, users familiar with WebCollab will find that the software is much the same as always.

My intention is to try and get the language translations updated, carry out more testing, and then provide a formal release.

Regards

Andrew Simpson
