Message-ID:
any configuration variables with the word 'path' in the name must be
absolute filesystem paths. So you need to edit config.php accordingly and
then edit the require_once on lib-common.php to point to your config.php
(again this a filesystem path not a URL)
Might I suggest you read the manual:

Hi fellows.
I've been trying to install geeklog for about a month and each time i
face the following problem: after being installed (successfully) i
get rather working portal, but i can't do any useful thing to it. I
can't publish news, submit links, etc. Except this it seems to be
capable for working. Yesterday i tryed to get thru installation
step-by-step and on step 4 script 'check.php' gives my nothing.
Permissions were first set to 775, then to 777, but in vain. Timer in

I think that it is likely that the first problem you describe is due to
register_globals being turned off in your php.ini. Geeklog requires that
register globals be turned on.

I would like to have both Japanese and English text appear correctly on
my entire site intermixed.
I first tried changing the default_charset to euc-jp, but that didn't
have an effect.
I changed the header.thtml file to have charset = {charset}, but it
still showed up as iso-8859-1 when I load the page.
so I had to just hard code it in the header to charset=euc-jp.
Doing this seems to work.
First of all, is this the best solution? How can I control the value
of {charset}?

You can start by replacing "yourgeeklogsit" with the domain of the
machine you installed Geeklog on. If your machines doesn't have a fully
qualified domain name and you are installed Geeklog on a local machine
the replace that with 'localhost'.
I hope what I described is obvious.

Message-ID:
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hi,
I'm running a site using Geeklog 1.3.2 and am having some troubles with
character substitution when certain characters appear in a posted
story. For example, if a story has "smart quotes", the trademark symbol
or em or en dashes, the characters are substituted with a "?" in the
story after submission.
Do newer versions of Geeklog correct this or does anyone have a
suggestion for pre- or post- processing the submissions to substitute
for characters acceptable to Geeklog?
TIA

There's a bug in admin/story.php that may cause this for users which have
StoryAdmin permissions but are not Root (Admin). See my comment in this

There's a default character set defined in config.php and another
character set in the language files. So normally, Geeklog would use the
character set from the language file (both for the {charset} variable and
for the character set in emails). If the language file does not define a
character set, the default one from config.php is used. And if that one
is missing, Geeklog falls back to using iso-8859-1.

In the wake of we've decided to try and hide the
email addresses from the postings on geeklog-users (as you probably
noticed). The problem is that there's currently no easy way to hide
addresses from the list archives - and, of course, any potential spammer
could simply subscribe to the list and grab the addresses of people
posting there.
Also, it seems that the spammers have now found out about our mailing
lists and started spamming them. So I have two questions for you:
1) Would you like to see the "anonymous" posts on all our lists or would
you like to see it reversed?
2) Do you think we should close the lists so that only subscribed users
can post to them?

I just checked the email list archive, and i couldn't see any personal email
address, i think you already change everybody for
geeklog-users at lists.geeklog.net (wich i consider anonymous). That's fine
with me, whatever that stop spam is ok.
bye the way, I'm subscribed to the "softimage xsi" mailing list, and they
show every single personal email address in the Archive as well as in the
mailing list. And I have never recieved any spam from them. I don't know how
they do it.
There might be some thousands personal emails showing up.
I'm recieving 100-200 daily emails from that mailing list, and no spam at
all.
That was just a comment, i hope it help.
cya.

My view would be to:
1. restrict posts to subscribers only
2. Ask anybody archiving the list to obfuscate the e-mail addresses. Ask
them to pull the archive if they won't/can't do this
3. revert the list back to using the personal e-mail address
FWIW, I have not had any spam to my "list" address.

Message-ID: <045301c2fec3$3dc8c1c0$6501a8c0@darlene>
Hey y'all (that's what they say in Texas):
Everything in GL functions extremely well with the exception of the previous/next stories links. The first page displays the first 50 stories and has the "Next Stories" ($LANG24[2]) link at the bottom which hyperlinks over to the next page. After the subsequent page is brought up (i.e., page 2), there is no "Previous Stories" ($LANG24[1]) link.
I've checked my liststories.thtml which is correct. I've not made any modifications to story.php with the exception of adding a few minor fields. The culprit must lay within this code:
// Print prev/next page links if needed
if (DB_count($_TABLES['stories']) > 50) {
$prevpage = $page - 1;
$nextpage = $page + 1;
if ($pagestart >= 50) {
$story_templates->set_var('previouspage_link', '' . $LANG24[1] . ' ');
} else {
$story_templates->set_var('previouspage_link','');
}
if ($pagestart <= (DB_count($_TABLES['stories']) - 50)) {
$story_templates->set_var('nextpage_link', '' . $LANG24[2] . ' ');
} else {
$story_templates->set_var('nextpage_link','');
}
} else {
$story_templates->set_var('previouspage_link','');
$story_templates->set_var('nextpage_link','');
}
} else {
// There are no news items
$story_templates->set_var('storylist_item','' . $LANG24[6] . ' |
');
$story_templates->set_var('previouspage_link','');
$story_templates->set_var('nextpage_link','');
}
First of all, I can't figure out where $pagestart comes from (I don't see it initialized anywhere). Can any of you GL deities give me a hand?
GL truly rocks,
theonomine

That code doesn't seem to make a lot of sense :-/ Besides, it should
really use the "Google paging" like the rest of Geeklog does ...
Can you submit a bug report for this please?

Nevermind, it's already fixed in CVS ;-)
The change you would be interested in is this:
$nextpage = $page + 1;
$pagestart = ($page - 1) * 50; // <-- new line
if ($pagestart >= 50) {
This will fix the "previous" link. I've also implemented "Google paging"
as an alternative, but that requires more changes (and also a change in
the theme).

In Geeklog 1.3.7, you can set the number of days that the "upcoming
events" block is looking ahead in config.php:
$_CONF['upcomingeventsrange'] = 14; // days
In 1.3.6, you would need to hack function COM_printUpcomingEvents() in
lib-common.php to accomplish the same effect.

That was WinZip. WinRAR should be fine (at least I never heard any
complaints about it).

It may be Dreamweaver. That one, too, is known to mess up the lib-
common.php on occassion.
Anyway, when you get a parse error somewhere in the middle of lib-
common.php then that is a sure sign of a corrupted file. My suggestion
therefore is to start with a fresh copy of that file and try again.

Subject: [geeklog-users] Styling Text Inside Blocks (and copyright year)
Message-ID:
A user wanted lines between every line in their blocks. (You can see the result at http://www.sandiego.edu/ins/insites/)
Geeklog currently takes the lines in a block and puts a
between them (using nl2br). I changed lib-common.php from:
if( substr( $blockcontent, 0, 1 ) != '<' )
{
$blockcontent = nl2br( $blockcontent );
}
to:
if( substr( $blockcontent, 0, 1 ) != '<' )
{
$blocklines = explode("\n", $blockcontent);
$blockclass = '';
$blockcontent = $blockclass . implode("
$blockclass", $blocklines) . '
';
}
which allows controlling the appearance of such text via the appropriate style.css.
Incidentally, the copyright year is hard-coded into lib-common.php. Shouldn't it at least be in config.php, as, perhaps, $_CONF['site_copyright']? (It might make even more sense to use the year from the most recent displayed article.)

Just to point this one out: As you can see from the piece of code that
you quoted, this is only done when the first character in the block is
not a '<'. So if you put HTML code into a block (where the additional
tags are not wanted), make sure that the block content starts with a
tag; would be an obvious choice.
>Incidentally, the copyright year is hard-coded into lib-common.php.
>Shouldn't it at least be in config.php
It is (as of Geeklog 1.3.7):
// Uncomment the following line to set the copyright year in the site's
footer
// to a specific year. Otherwise, the current year will be used.
// $_CONF['copyrightyear'] = 2003;
If you want to make that a range of years, make sure you enclose it in
quotes, e.g. $_CONF['copyrightyear'] = '2001-2003';

Subject: [geeklog-users] User Directory
Message-ID: <019201c30e51$57204ba0$f100000a@osiris>
I am new, so this is probably old hat, but I would like to implement a User
Directory for anyone logged into my Geeklog to see other user's account
information, such as address, etc. I would also like to add elements to the
user account information, such as phone number, etc. Can that be done
easily?
(I just tested it out yesterday, so I may have missed how to do all of this)

I posted a (simple) user list on geeklog.net some time ago:
The Forum plugin also includes a member list.

There are a couple of hacks for this (search geeklog.net). Also, some
plugins (e.g. the Forum plugin) include such modifications.
The next release of Geeklog (not ready yet ...) will include an extension
to the plugin API so that plugins will have an "official" way to extend
the user information.

Geeklog 2 is still quite some time away. I was talking about Geeklog
1.3.8 for which I /hope/ to have a first release candidate some time in
May [insert standard disclaimers about software development and release
dates here] ;-)
>OR will there be a clean upgrade.
Geeklog 2 will provide a way to import / convert your 1.3.x stories and
user data.
>With all the plugins and all...
The plugin API for Geeklog 2 hasn't even been defined yet ...

Actually, everything I have read on the site states that adding elements to
the user details is not available yet. That seems odd, as I would think that
adding elements to the user properties would be an easy task. If you know of
a mod that works well, I would appreciate it. The userlist is perfect! Now
all I need is to add/change the user information. TIA

I was thinking about this post: But it seems the author didn't
release his changes :-/

Adding them is easy. But you probably want to store them in the database
as well, don't you? That requires some work ...
>If you know of a mod that works well, I would appreciate it.
Maybe you can re-use the code from the forum?

Subject: [geeklog-users] I'm new! I confess!
Message-ID: <3EA3077B.00000F.05820@raylinda>
I seem to have everything working... I'm using
HP-UX_Apache-based_Web_Server/2.0.45 (Unix) PHP/4.2.3 mod_jk/1.2.0 DAV/2
And I'm getting a really funny behavior with the polls...that seems to be
the only problem thus far. When I enter a poll... I get duplicates of
everything. For example.. when I enter:
I rock:
1. yes
2. no
I really get:
I rock:
1. yes
2. no
3. yes
4. no
More choices are usually good....but not in this case. :)
Anyone seen this?
