Development

For users that are modifying geeklog or integrating other components, the following are ideas to assist in debugging. It's hard to make assumptions on your skill level and not talk down or be too assumptive. You will need a basic understanding of syntax and of course know where you want to place the debug statements and what to display. Start basic and work your way up.

There are a few options but essentially, you are looking to add some output to tell you if the program is executing certain sections of code (am I here or here..) and the value of variables. I'll try to break it down as follows:

I've just completed testing the integration of Gallery with the just released Geeklog 1.3.6rc1. I used the latest stable release of Gallery ver 1.3.1 which is highly recommended as there are several security patches and other bug fixes.

Good news: I had no problems and used the current availble integration directions.

I took time afterwards to try and improve the documentation and repackaged the archive with copies of the modified gallery 1.3.1 version files with the geeklog changes.

You can download them from my site

While this isn't actually related to GeekLog, I did create this with GeekLog and all Geeks in mind. It's a 1280x1024 wallpaper: "The geek shall inherit the earth."

Just a little fun to spice up the daily monotony of Got Geeked, Help, PHP Blocks, and Bugs posts. Perhaps you could make a new category, GL Desktops, for all us geeks who visit this site? Or delete this post and forget the image ever existed?

In any case, happy geeking.
