	2011.
Message-ID: <AANLkTi=fLYnLE3bCihN-VzJUVO3XGso2jDOjR8Bu0uor@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all,

I am a Student from Computer Science Engineering university of Moratuwa and
would got really interested in this CMS project, as I have some experience
of Moodle  which is also a php CMS kind of product.

So last few days I went through the beginner basic documentation, to get an
understanding on how geeklog way of internal development such as how it does
php scripting with keeping html processing as a separate module. Actually it
is pretty easy to append all htmls and pass them to process at the end. I
also got interested in plugin development as welll, which is really a cool
for a CMS. Does geeklog has the possibility to have a GSoC project related
to plugin development this year ? It will be great if I can get any feedback
on how to get in to this further as geeklog still hasn't finalized this
years GSoC ideas.

Thanks in advance

I'd say it's very likely that we will have a few plugin-related projects again this year (like we did in previous years). Did you have anything specific in mind?


One project from a previous GSoC that's still waiting to be rolled out is the Plugin Repository[1]. The idea was to allow direct installs of plugins from a repository of plugins, e.g. on geeklog.net - a bit like installing a plugin in Firefox. I was actually thinking about maybe adding at least the Geeklog end into the upcoming Geeklog 1.8.0, so that we have it in place once we finally manage to get the actual repository up and running. Maybe that's something you'd be interested in (not as a GSoC project, but to get an idea how things are working)?

bye, Dirk

For the moment I can't say that "this is the idea". But as Geeklog provides
the basic functionalities like getting feeds, upload, download materials for
plugin developers, which extends the range of thinking in plugin
development, there is a good chance of providing a better functionality to
Geeklog with a plugin. So I am going through the Geeklog issue tracker and
going through issues with status "new", where I can find functionalities
which Geeklog still lacks, so that I can think of providing such as a
plugin. Also I am hoping to see Geeklog GSoC 2011 new ideas list as well.

Yes, of course. I am going through the details of it.

Welcome and thanks for your interest. Please keep in mind that the organizations participating in GSoC 2011 will only be announced on March 18, so there's no guarantee at this point that Geeklog will be in GSoC again this year.

As for the Facebook Connect project: Quick question to those who use Facebook: Since we will have OAuth in Geeklog 1.8.0 - would we still need Facebook connect? Both allow you to log into Geeklog with your Facebook account. One is a standard and used by other sites as well, the other is not ...

I was testing OAuth a few days ago and I'm quite happy with it. Whenever
the few remaining issues are ironed out, I'd say that I would be happy

I agree with Rouslan. In any case, I don't think adding facebook connect
support is a large enough project for GSOC.

It's on the brainstorming page[1] which makes it clear (I hope) that the ideas listed there aren't fully fleshed out GSoC projects yet.

So, the consensus seems to be to not continue with Facebook Connect. Tom? I think you brought that up originally. Do you agree?

I believe Facebook Connect is on its way out now as developers are switching
over to using OAuth for authentication and Facebooks Graph API for
integration stuff.

It would be nice to see the old GSOC  OpenID 2.0 project continued on
though...

I would be curious to know what the GL community at large would want.
It's one thing for core developers to put together their wish list --
its another thing for the community to voice what is an actual
necessity.

Something tells me that the two are not necessarily in alignment.
Simply story on GL.net with comments open should allow us to garner
enough information from people as to what they want.

I just switched this over to Jenkins. Other than that, it's working as before.

For those who don't know the backstory: The Hudson developers have parted ways with Oracle, who insist that they own the name "Hudson". So Jenkins is just the new name of the project, with most of the former Hudson developers behind it. See <http://jenkins-ci.org/> for details.

I don't think anyone who used to contribute back in the early days is  
still around, i.e. still actively contributing. Please keep in mind  
that Geeklog is over 10 years old by now and people move on.

I can get you in contact with Jason Whittenburg (the original author)  
and Tony Bibbs (early maintainer) for the historical perspective if  
that's what you're interested in.

Dear,

Thanks for the quick reply.

I just wanted to get to know the historical things that is why
I asked for a person who was contributing from the begging of the project.

I am happy to get them from Jason Whittenburg (the original author) and
Tony Bibbs (early maintainer). AND if you like we can discuss about the
present situation of the project. So I can prepare some question regarding
that and ll mail you soon. Are you ok with that?

Thanks for your time.

Since I've been asked: No, I have not been with Geeklog from the beginning. According to the Changelog, the first release of Geeklog was on June 17, 2000. I registered on the Geeklog website (which was on SourceForge back then) on January 12, 2002.

And apparently, this was my first commit:

changeset:   503:8fee9a042949
branch:      HEAD
user:        dhaun
date:        Sat Mar 02 17:03:21 2002 +0000
summary:     Added the texts that are new as of Geeklog 1.3.3 (not translated yet).

Unsurprisingly, that's an update of the German language file:

http://project.geeklog.net/cgi-bin/hgwebdir.cgi/geeklog/rev/8fee9a042949

Just a quick jog down memory lane :)

I'm still going to test with "SQL server 2008 enterprise", but the MSDN
servers are having some issues and so far I have been unable to download
it.

> and have no way to test with MS SQL.
Yeah, I'm not a fan either. Here's what I did to test in linux (maybe
it'll be useful to someone):

* Install LAMPP in linux
* Virtualise Windows in Virtualbox OSE
* Install MSSQL in the virtual machine
* Set the network interface of the VM to "host-only" and give it a
static IP
* Use FreeTDS to add the "mssql_*" functions to your linux PHP
intallation

That's it, it should now be possible to connect to the MSSQL server that
is running in the VM by specifying the static IP in the geeklog
installer (virtualbox defaults to 192.168.56.101).

Message-ID: <1297429107.2690.31.camel@roccivic-pc>

More ideas:

* Add support for SQLite databases (self-explanatory).

* Create a self-deploying version of Geeklog.
I was checking out various bulletin boards a few weeks ago and bumped
into one (can't remember the name) that had a version that would
download and install itself directly to the server.
The idea is that the user downloads a small (a few hundred lines) PHP
script and drops it on his webserver. The user then points his browser
to this script and after filling out a form with some parameters, the
script downloads, extracts and installs the requested version of Geeklog
automatically.
The obvious advantage is reduction of traffic for the user: instead of
downloading a large tarball and having to upload it somewhere else, that
tarball magically finds its way from geeklog.net to the remote
webserver.
But would this alone even keep a person busy all summer? If not, I guess
that it would be also great to somehow integrate Tim's plugin repository
system into this (whenever it's ready), so that a user gets a list of
remotely available plugins. And is given a choice of deploying these
plugins in exactly the same way during the install of core.

Subject: [geeklog-devel] Geeklog's New Configuration GUI
Message-ID: <003f01cbca0b$192e0b10$4b8a2130$@cogeco.net>

Hi All,

 

I just recently pushed the new Geeklog Configuration GUI . This was a GSOC
2010 project which was coded by Akeda Bagus and mentored by Matt West
(http://wiki.geeklog.net/index.php/SoC_improve_configuration_gui). It took a
bit more on my part than I thought it would, to get it fully integrated and
updated into the current version of Geeklog.

 

So what's new besides the tabs?

 

JQuery

-          Yes, the next version of Geeklog will include jQuery along with
some jQuery UI libraries that are used by the configuration

 

Input Validation

-          You can now define a validation rule for each config input. If an
incorrect value is entered the user will be prompted to re-enter with an
explanation of what is required

 

Access Control

-          You can now define access for other users to Geeklog
Configuration on a per tab basis(for core and plugins)

 

Search

-          You now can search for configuration options

 

There was a number of things that I have added to the new configuration.
This includes:

-          Backward compatibility for older plugins. 

-          Added Fieldsets back for readability and grouping of config items

-          Fixed a few installation problems and added new config fields

-          Added in the update procedures for Geeklog and core plugins 

-          Fixed issues when PHP error reporting set to E_ALL 

 

There are still a number of things left to do before release

-          The configuration validation for the core plugins has to be added

-          Update the jQuery integration (Move to footer, fix inline calls,
add a config option to disable javascript on the front end)

-          Update the jQuery UI theme used by the configuration

-          Testing with MS SQL and PG SQL

 

A nice to have but not required for 1.8.0 would be:

-          Get the basic configuration to work without javascript

 

So when you get a moment please pull the latest changeset and give the new
configuration a try. Test out the new features and let me know if I missed
any bugs. Also if anyone wants to tackle any of the remaining items on the
last 2 lists just let me know.

 

Thanks

 

Tom

Just tested both install and upgrade with PgSQL. Both are broken. The
PgSQL upgrade code looks almost identical to the mySQL one...
Anyway, I'll take this task and I'll email you a patch when finished ;)

As far as MSSQL goes, I think that it will be trickier because, as far
as I know, that didn't work even before the new config UI....

Take care,
Rouslan.

Hi All,

Im dilantha silva from sri lanka and im new to geeklog. To get familiar with
the code i'm just trying to fix some bugs. at the moment im working on bug
ID - 0001237. I just want to know is there a common way to indicate a
required field in geek log ? eg :- putting a red star or something similar
? Thanks in advance.

Good point. I would do that with CSS. In fact, we do have these in style.css:

.missing-field {
  /* reserved for future use */
}
.required-field {
  /* reserved for future use */
}

Traditionally, we've used bold text to indicate required fields. And to highlight a missing field, I'd use red text (maybe even bold+red). In any case, use those classes and then we can adjust the visuals as needed.

Thanks Rouslan,

Yeah anything that pretty much dealt with the configuration is just MySQL
copied over. I figured once someone else besides myself had tested the
install and upgrade (under MySQL) and all was fine, then we could convert it
to MS SQL and PG SQL.

Hi Dirk,

Thanks a lot for your quick response. I have created a patch for the above
mentioned bug (ID - 0001237). Here how it works. First it will indicate the
required fields (using a red star). On submission with a missing field the
values that user already filled will be there in the form and the missing
field will be turn in to red :-) . Can you please tell me how to upload the
patch so someone can review it ?


@ Buddhika - Nice to meet you too.You guys are doing a great job with the
FOSS user magazine . keep up the good work..see you around.

One possible implementation route for the Notification service. Use a fully

jQuery UI theme? Right now who ever calls COM_siteHeader (ie core or plugin)
can over write the default jquery ui theme. I see this creating a bunch of
problems if a plugin specifies one theme and say a block that is displayed
as well, assumes the default theme will be used.

I hadn't heard of this project before:

http://incubator.apache.org/chemistry/

This is an implementation of the Content Management Interoperability  
Services (CMIS) specification. CMIS is something that we've talked  
about at the traditional CMS meetup at the GSoC mentor summit. As the  
name suggests, it would allow for some data exchange between CMS.  
Helping in moving from one CMS to another would come to mind as an  
obvious use case.

IIRC, the consensus at the meetup was something along the lines of  
"CMIS sounds like a good idea but it's a pain to implement". Well  
maybe things are easier with Apache Chemistry now. Maybe not.

Anyone want to look into it?

bye, Dirk

P.S. Apache Chemistry just got promoted to a top-level Apache project  
(which is how I heard about it), so it's no longer in incubation.

Hi,

I am a final year student from department of Computer Science and
Engineering, University of Moratuwa.
I would like to contribute to the geeklog development.

I am thinking of participating the Google summer of code for geeklog.
I went though the wiki page [1] and I strongly feel that I have sufficient
skills which is mentioned there [2] to work on a geeklog project.
Now I am getting familiar with geeklog by referring to the 'Getting started
guide' [3]. Am I on the right path or is there anything I should focus more?

Thank you.

Hi Dirk,

I had a quick look at Apache Chemistry and downloaded its php client and
tried to test it with geeklog. and i think since geeklog is not cmis
compatible it didn't work properly. At the moment it can be used with some
cmis compatible content repositories like Alfresco, Nuxeo, KnowledgeTree
etc. I have found a good tutorial for getting started with cmis
here<http://ecmarchitect.com/archives/2009/11/23/1094>. It is based on
Alfresco platform but it can be used to get some idea.

Ah, okay. I was hoping this would make it easier for Geeklog to become  
CMIS compatible. It didn't occur to me that it would expect a CMS to  
be compatible already. Well, so much for that idea then.

Thanks for looking into it.

Okay, so I guess nobody's using it anyway so it doesn't matter whether it's broken or not.

I'm going to release 1.7.2 as-is on Sunday then.

Hi All,

Im Dilantha Silva,a final year undergraduate student of the Faculty of
Information Technology, University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka. Im interested in
partcipiating for Gsoc 2011 under geeklog.I have participated for Gsoc 2010
under sahana software foundation and successfully completed the assigned
project. As I have experienced most of the technolgies required by geeklog,
i spent last couple of days going through the geeklog code and fix some bugs
to get familiar with the code. Also i went through the Gsoc ideas page and
found some intresting ideas to work with.So I expect all of your guidance to
make a great contribution around Geeklog. Thanks.

I only tested Geeklog with versions 7 and 8. PostgreSQL 9 recently came out.
So a safe bet would be to set the minimum requirement to 7, since the
PostgreSQL team only added Inner Join support in version 7(I guess they went
au natural join before that). Also, version 7 has been out for 11 years, so
there shouldn't be any complaints about 'upgrading'.

Thanks, Stan.

I just came across a check for Postgres 7.4 while looking for something else. So maybe we should make this the minimum recommended version? As in "works with PostgreSQL 7 (7.4 or later recommended)".

So, the application period for organizations who want to take part in GSoC 2011 starts on Monday, February 28. We still need

- more fleshed-out ideas
- more people willing to mentor

The list of ideas is a very important part of the application and what we have until now is not nearly enough. We need at least 6 (8 would be better) fully developed ideas. Currently, we have 4 - and I was actually thinking of dropping the Spam-X one, since that didn't work out in previous years. 

There are quite a few interesting ideas in the comments on geeklog.net and on the "brainstorming" page - surely it's possible to come up with some more project ideas based on those?

http://www.geeklog.net/article.php/gsoc-2011-cfi#comments
http://wiki.geeklog.net/index.php/GSoC_Brainstorming

We should also have our mentors lined up by March 18 at the latest (the day the list of accepted organizations is published). Has anyone reading this considered helping Geeklog by helping a student? We need you!

If there are any questions regarding project ideas, becoming a mentor or anything else about GSoC, please ask them, either here or in private email if you prefer that.

Well let's not drop the SPAMX one until we have flushed out some other
ideas. :-)

As I said before I would really hope someone picks up the Core Notification
Support project

The only other two I saw in the comments that I thought would benefit
Geeklog and was large enough to keep a student busy for the summer was: 

>>An integrated tags option for stories and static pages, with multiple
levels (so we could use this plugin instead of changing the core to get
subtopics or multiple topics for a story)

This has been a complaint of Geeklog for a while and the scope can be
expanded to include a number of different things (What's Related block,
etc..). Should we leave the Topics as is and develop a separate Category or
Tag system for items? How would the display of items work? I guess I can
take a stab at this and write something up...

>>OpenID 2.0

It has been started but is it worth finishing or starting from scratch?

Tom

http://www.geeklog.net/article.php/gsoc-2011-cfi#comments
http://wiki.geeklog.net/index.php/GSoC_Brainstorming

We should also have our mentors lined up by March 18 at the latest (the day
the list of accepted organizations is published). Has anyone reading this
considered helping Geeklog by helping a student? We need you!

If there are any questions regarding project ideas, becoming a mentor or
anything else about GSoC, please ask them, either here or in private email
if you prefer that.

bye, Dirk

I think last year we mostly had the problem of finding a mentor for it.

Subtopics are something I had suppressed ... Still not too optimistic about their feasibility.

That sounds like a good idea.

We have an OpenID 2.0 library that's supposed to be working. It "only" needs to be integrated.

One of the goals of that project was to allow Geeklog to become an OpenID provider, i.e. allow you to log into other sites with the login from your Geeklog site. Isn't there something similar in OAuth? If so, maybe that could be combined?

There are two tag plugins. "Tag" by mystral_kk and "tags" by myself.

"Tag" is a centrally controlled tagging system much like the topics for stories 
only.
"Tags" is a user controlled tagging system allowing users (in the tagging group) 
to add tags to any object in the system with the tag variables in their template 
files (and that call plg_templatevars_whatever the api is).

I haven't maintained my plugin but I do believe it is still working. Tom, were 
you keeping it alive? I thought it's hooks into the system were in use by the 
rating plugin.

Hey Joe,

No I haven't used your tags plugin (on a live site) but we did talk about it
at one point  where you were using it as an example of how to integrate the
rating plugin better into Geeklog (which I did do).

I was going to use yours but in the end I decided I didn't have enough time
to maintain another plugin.

I have been using the Tag plugin for a while which mystral_kk did add
support for staticpages recently.

I have a few ideas about the new Category/Tags plugin (with core changes)
but I really need to sit down and flush out the idea. Here are few
highlights (note some of them might be wishful thinking):

- Tags Related to Tags (ie Categories)
- Anything can be tagged that supports the API
- Integration into edit forms (ie tags are listed in Drop Downs). 
- Security (Read, Edit and Usage)
- A Tag ( or category what should they be called?) can be displayed similar
to topics but can contain one or more item types. Supports inheriting items
from related tags.
- Control of what blocks are displayed (I really need to look into this as I
haven't looked at the code before)
- Breadcrumb support (that follows Google's guidelines)
- Some sort of What's Related Block/Autotag Block

If anyone else has any other suggestion of features let me know...

Tom

I was willing (and had hoped) to mentor the Core Notification project. The
problem last year was that none of the application to do it were all that
great. It's a pretty complex undertaking, and none of the applications
demonstrated that they understood our goals for it.

Subject: [geeklog-devel] Geeklog and jQuery
Message-ID: <000001cbd754$ded951c0$9c8bf540$@cogeco.net>

Quick question.

 

The new configuration interface uses jQuery and a few widgets from the
official jQuery User Interface (UI) library. At first I wasn't planning to
include the other widgets library files (about 30 in all) but I think I may
now do so to make it easier for any plugins who may want to use jQuery and
any of the other Widgets.

 

Widgets are only included in the web page  when needed  (core, theme and
plugins need to request that jQuery and the widget be loaded) so I don't
really see a problem to include the files in the install.

 

Thoughts?

 

Tom
