Geeklog Forums

Putting stuff from config.php into the web GUI - yeah, I thought of that already and will see what I can do.

Enable/disable per-user : thought of that as well and have it on my list of stuff to add.

Signing up for the service : I'm not sure why that would be required - you sign up for the site, you get the service. Actually, part of my intent in writing this was to make things 'hands free' for the admin. I specifically designed it so that signing up would not be required. e.g. I currently give users free galleries and they have to ask first for them because of the way gallery works, and I specifically do not want something like that. I'll consider it, but it will not likely be high on my list.

The default filename is there on purpose. I used the Geeklog 'sid' for this, which is guaranteed unique. As you can see the user can change it to whatever they like. I just chose a default unique name, that's all. So that the page can be saved as-is if desired. The only other choice would be to leave it blank but then if the user hit 'save' it would not save.

I tried to download the tar file from the here http://www.neap.net/download/upage.tar.Z and got a page not found error. Anyone have the tar file for download?

Sorry, i had a major server crash but have finally recovered. Later today I'll be posting version 1.2 anyway.

I've added the Geeklog search engine, and a few other little tidbits.

Here is what will be included in 1.2 released later today (maybe tomorrow at latest, but it looks like I'm on track for today)

finally integrated into Geeklog search engine

includes a function to make a "What's New" block both for changed pages, and page comments

more robust means of making pages private or public

more code comments for educational purposes

anxiously awaiting, but take your time. Seeing as how you are fixing to release 1.2, I will not let go of the 1.1 I have.

OK, it's ready. See the links in my first post in this thread for download details.

Be sure to read carefully as the download location has changed

This sounds very much like something I'm looking for. Has anyone installed this yet? how is it coming along?

Does the user have to have a knowledge of HTML to be able to use it, or is there a way of having a form-like page involved so the user can just fill in his/her own bits and then it appears on the page?

Right now you do have to know some HTML. At very least you'll need to know

<P>

For new paragraph. Maybe for the next release I'll add something like the forums we are using has where you can click the "Text Mode" button.

Actually, I have a "link" keyword that allows you to easily link between your own pages without knowing HTML at all. See the help file for details.

Got it, will see if I can upgrade sometime today.

So is anyone running 1.2 yet? Any comments? I will be happy to implement things for the next release.

I'm making some great progress on the next release, and anyone who wants to try it out can visit https://secure.neap.net/ and leave comments on what you think. I'll install the forums plugin on that site for discussing my plugin.

The next release has photos and a bunch of other stuff. I'd say 2-3 weeks at best before it is ready for prime-time.

cheers,

I was running 1.2 but had a server crash. I haven't got around to reinstalling everything...yet, but will soon.

I should have 2.0 beta ready any day now for anyone who wants to try it out. It has a 'plain text' mode as well as native support for photo upload. See here for details :

https://secure.neap.net/upage/?page=readme
https://secure.neap.net/upage/?page=help

It requires NetPBM, and I have not yet written code to get around the UNIX pipes. Nobody ever answered my question as to whether or not windows supports multiple pipes like this :

command1 | command2 | command3 > somefile

If not, then I have a little bit of coding to do to support windows. But should only be an hour or so.

I also still have to write the upgrade. But if anyone wants to beta test it for me send me email and I can give you a beta copy.

I just tried the new version (1.2??), all I got was a blank page. I Think I got it working now, but forgot what I did. I know it was editing the config , taking a line out, saving it, then adding the very same line back in the same place.. wierd.

Can't wait for 2.0, and not gonna activate upage until it comes out.

I am not sure about the support of multiple pipes in windows, I "think" it can, but it probably doesn't. Im sending my email to ya, maybe I can get it running right.. hehe

In case anyone is subscribed to this thread, please see the new thread I started about 2.0 being released.

I was going to do a random photo block for someone but forgot to include it. Email me and I'll write you one. It's only a few lines of code.
