Go there, download it, run it as a CGI if you have to, but go try it out!! This is a great day for PHP and it’s users. A HUGE thank you to each of the thousands of people who helped to make this happen!
Now, go out there and get it!!
I ended up deleting over 250 comments from the comments table. I had thought about just emptying the comment text, but I just wanted them gone (oops). Well, I ended up invalidating some of the comment threads…sorry about that. I will try to get them back if I can. The posts are all still in there, I just need to re-attach some of them.
I instructed him step by step all his configuration was right but also his tea tray was not working. He asked me if i could come to his office as it was just 10 miles away.
So i went to his office and folks you wont belive this, the tea tray he was talking about was none other then the CD-ROM, yup he was using his CD-ROM as a cup holder.
I told him that we are not his hardware support people he needs to call the company where the computer was brought from.
He was cursing the computer company and told me that he had 1 year garentee on that machine, so they have to replace his tea tray.
Hope you guys enjoyed it, a little bit of humor dose not hurt anybody, do tell me how did u like it
I’m noticing that some anonymous user (or script) has been adding the following comments…and I really don’t know why:
We get so few comments, that I don’t want to remove them if someone out there just uses a macro or something to comment on stories. 😉 But, when I start seeing two of them on the same story, I’m getting ready to remove them. Anyone know the scoop?
I have been learning a lot from hanging out on sitepoint.com these days. Especially the PHP Blog run by Harry Fuecks (yes, the phppatters guy). Those of you who know me know of my completely biased opinion towards this man.
Anyway, my search for alternative ways of entering content into our content management system has led me here:
http://wiki.ciaweb.net/yawiki/
You may be interested in their Text_Wiki and Text_Diff pear packages. Text_Wiki is not yet in the pear system, but can be downloaded and installed using the pear command.
The site also sports a very nice template system called Savant. It is simple, clean and uses PHP as its template engine. No, it is not as feature filled as Smarty, but it seems to be a lot less confusing.
And, for what it’s worth, we have currently ended up with the FCKEditor from http://www.fredck.com/fckeditor/ . It is windows/IE only for now, but degrades nicely into a text box for all other systems. Hmmm…a text box that uses Text_Wiki perhaps…
Anyone else have tools they like to use?
Happy PHPing.

My apologies for the little “outage” this week. KCPug had to move to a different server, as the old one was being retired. Everything is moved over, and there should be no more interruptions in service. Well, at least until I get off my duff and shell out some clams for a hosting provider. 😉
See you on Saturday!!
A couple of us are going to try working with a live install for a while to see if we get any ideas of things that are lacking. I’m hoping to finally get around to setting up that family website. And Doug was giving it a go as an intranet portal. Of course, with it’s integrated forum, we even talked a little bit about using it to run the pug. It would be nice not to have to log in twice on the site. 😉
Please check it out at http://www.xoops.org and offer any ideas or comments you would like to this article. What kind of site would you run? What kind of modules (image gallery, file repository, etc) would you need to run your site?
If you have access to a php install and a mysql database, XOOPS is easy to install into its own directory (I.e. you could run it in http://yoursite.com/xoops/ ) and not disturb your existing website. So if you find yourself with nothing to do some weekend, give it a try…I think you will be pleasantly surprised.
Until next time…
[EDITOR: dholmes] Thanks for the info. I actually have a subscription to this mag as well. Anyone interested, just let me know and I’ll bring them to the meeting. Also, it looks like you can get the January 2004 issue, if you would rather.
