Hey, I installed it with no problem, but I can't login to admin, I do it, and doesn't give me error for logging, but it conitnues to ask for a user name as password.

Will current plugins hacks still work? i.e. visitor-statistics plugin(complete stats), forums, hacks for 4images, journal plugin, etc.??

Plugins that use the plugin API should continue to work just fine. Any hacks that change Geeklog's core code may need modifications (depending on what they changed ...).

bye, Dirk

I'd like to shift the staticpage from ..

site/staticpages/page.php

.. to ..

site/page.php

Now, I suspect the best way to do this is actually with mod_rewrite rather than shifting the file and recoding for this .. Anyone out there had any experience with this?

As an aside, I have to congratulate Dirk and all those who's worked on this release. Great to see the Geek ain't dead :)

gl still doesn't work on servers with register_globals turned off. more and more hosting services are moving to newer versions of PHP and this is turned off by default. is there any plan to code for this? i am not saying gl is insecure due to this but this is an issue for us poor people who do not have their own server.

user: i have a problem with this software, is there a patch planned?
admin: yes, it will be in the next version!

aside from this sounding like i'm talking to microsoft, this is crazy talk. gl2? did not tony mention moving this over to php5? we are talking about the issue of register_globals, not the issue of what a complete rewrite will fix AND every other overhead involved with that, like running an authenification service, a new version of php, etc etc etc.

But you are talking about a major effort. It is not like stripping only a few lines of code.

You are so right we need GL working with globals off right now. Nothing else is as important. Everyone is a bit busy though except for you. When can you have this conversion all done for beta testing. How about August 1st, 2003. As you said, it's not a complete rewrite so four weeks should be plenty of time for you to do this. Heaven forbid if we go into the fall season with globals still on. Chop chop get busy on the recoding. This isn't Microsoft. Everyone needs to pull his weight around here including you.

why is it that open source folks can't take constructive critisim? if i could code as well as these people, i would be doing it, but it's not my strength and i accept that. i am so sick of this 'anyone can code it - therefore everyone should' crap. this is an important point, and everytime its mentioned, the poster is shot down. this is bullshit.

So .. tell us what you can do then. I'd love to hear. What every it is.. I need 10 of them by end of the week and by the way ... they won't be want I want so you'll have to spend another 100 hours making it look like my new idea. Oh, and I don't want to pay but I can provide you with all the critism you can take - no charge for that.

And I need you to be around 24 hours a day for my questions.

Is there a way with Static Pages 1.3 to have a static page
associated with a topic (and only show on that topic)? I think it is
possible for a "center-block" type page to only show under a
specific topic, but I just want the label/link to the page to show
under a topic (and not the actual page).

I had to hack this in previous versions (making for more time-
consuming upgrades).

Thanks!

Well, I couldn't wait, so I started looking at the code/db. Because there is now a field in gl_staticpages for topic association (sp_tid), I modified the plugin_getmenuitems_staticpages to check for current topic (i.e. index.php?topic=whatever). If one is viewing an article or another static page, it queries the db for that story or static page for its topic.

Once the topic is determined (if none, it will show pages to be shown for all topics or if at the home page, show only pages to be shown on the home page), it will only show labels for static pages associated with the page's topic (be it the topic home page, an article in the topic, or a static page associated with a topic). Please see here for the modified function: Modified plugin_getmenuitems_staticpages Function

The hacking is not required. This is a feature in 1.3. Click the
checkbox for the center block and choose the topic you want it
associated with, from the drop-down menu.

As I stated, I only want the LABEL to appear under a topic, not a
center block.
