Development

I've installed GeekLog on quite a few sites and have no problem with the installs at all.

Today I tried to install GL on a Unix server, went through all the steps, made my chown and chmod changes to the appropriate directories and files, made what looked like the correct changes to config.php and lib-common.php, launched install, got to the second step, hit next and this is the error I got:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home/www/tribalquest/lib-common.php on line 2621

Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: template in /home/www/tribalquest/lib-common.php on line 335

I am working with a couple of clients on Intranet/Portal opportunities and GL is a potential solution. I believe we all want GL to be more successful and generate some $'s for the development community.

A couple of issues or needs that will better position GL for paying corporate clients:

• The name Geeklog does not describe an easy to use, feature rich business solution as a first impression
• Need for busines case studies with sample screen snapshots
• Business refrences - Intranet/Portal type usage
• Document Management functionality, integrated search, version tracking - an Intranet must have
• Other business functionality - collaborative tools
  • Contact/Address book
  • Ability to track Tasks and Issues (Basic App - possibly assign tasks
  • Check for email messages (basic version available but integrated email client would be nice)
  • Mini Project Status tracker - nothing too fancy

Can anyone help with cases studies and Corporate references. I know there are plenty of GL Sites

Any ideas or similar needs be identified by others?

I'd like to see GL be successfull. These type of deals drive services and thus inovation, new development and revenue for the GL development team

First of all, thanks to all who have worked on GL! I have been following it since v.1.1 and am impressed by the dedication, commitment and creativity I\'ve seen here, in the mailing list and the code itself.

I am planning to do a fresh install of GL and noticed that the 1.3.5 file at sf.net dates from April. There have been many fixes/improvements since the day of release.

What is the best way to get the latest, updated version? I am sure everyone who plans to install GL from scratch is asking the same question.

Again, thank you for your dedication and hard work. Most of my PHP I\'ve learned by trying to comprehend the GL source :)
