[REL] PHPRetro 4.0

[kenicko]

Request: I REALLY need a Windows VPS to test PHPRetro's compatibility with every Holograph version. I don't have a windows-machine anymore so I can't test it on my computer. IF anyone has an extra VPS account or one that they're not using, please PM me. If I could get a server to test Holograph, I can fix more client-based bugs and write compatibility for other Holograph servers like the TDbP edition. Thanks.

I coudl help with that too (sorry for double post)

Someone could spend a DB base? is that when I install, I get that I can not, because the DB is not supported.

Thanks

New revision now updates SSO ticket on every client.php load.
New captcha system. The old one (as with HoloCMS) is crackable (I may make a attack tool one day). This one is more secure as it distorts and turns the image.

I still have the same problem.

Also, Yifan. When I was using PHP retro, Users were having trouble registering successfully. After filling out their details and entering the capatcha and clickinf submit, the registration form would hang for a long long time and then sometimes their details may have not been submitted to CMS_users or just the users table.

Thich is quite a large bug, as what happens then is that they cannot re-register with the same name (and cannot access the CMS properly) - Without me deleting the SQL area, which would mean further bugs, etc.

Support:
If you have any problems, add yifanlu (at) phpretro.com to your MSN and I'll try to help you with whatever problem you're having. Please beware that I'm very impatient, so prepare for me to insult you if you ask something that I've answered already.

Please still try to submit bugs to Google Codes. Contact me directly and I'll try to find out and/or fix the problem one on one. It's really hard to differentiate between actual bugs vs. noobs who can't follow directions, so I'm hoping this will allow better bug-fixing.

EDIT:

[ontopic]
Yifan have you considered including say a DB update script with each release.
In 4.0.2 b3 you included a check in the installer to see if hc_before was present in the db and if it wasn't you created it.
Might it not be a good idea to include these DB changes in an upgrade script that people run with with each new version?
Yes, they could (and I did) create the field manually, but I suspect that some may have just copied over the old files thinking that would have solved the bug, not realising that they would need to either manually create the field or re-run a fresh install.

Oops, if you added me via MSN, add me again. I accidentally pressed Ignore All.

[Leeofleeds]

Hey sisija, Jusy wondering if you needed a Vps? If you do please pm me f not dis-regard this post, thanks Lee.

[nederlander]

Yes but when i'm logged in and I restart the server, the server sets SSO tickets to NULL ;)
Maybe a good idea from tomspit to generate a ticket when opens te client
huh?
I post it a few posts before

The housekeeping is missing a few pages

Really what gave you that idea? Maybe the first post:

I've decided to release it without the last 4 housekeeping pages to make it finished.

Revision 70 committed: http://code.google.com/p/phpretro/source/detail?r=70

This revision mainly focused on the installer. Since I figured out that most people don't READ before trying to install. I added some checks that checks if your server supports PHPRetro before attempting to install it. I also fixed the bug where it says you don't have a valid Holograph database when you do (mainly on TDbP edition). Also, the config.php is now generated in ./install/ instead of ./includes/ and the user (you) have to manually move it to ./includes/ when install is finished. This is similar to how you install MediaWiki. Why? Because on Unix based servers, ./includes/ has premission of 755 which doesn't allow any writing. You have to make ./includes/ 777 in order for it to work. This is bad because anyone can now write to the ./includes/ folder if you forget to change it back. To make it easier and more secure, config.php is now generated in ./install/ which is CHMOD 777 and will be deleted after installation anyways. Finally, I removed the email log feature. It was pointless because it only logs when a email is sent, now IF it was sent successfully.

Basically, it's now easier, as you don't have to CHMOD 777 a bunch of things. Just 777 ./cache/ and ./install/ and you'll be ok.
